Mcor Matrix 3D Printer Replicates Objects on the Cheap With Simple Paper and Glue
12:40AM John Mahoney | 3D printers are awesome. Feed them a computer model, and out comes a real object–often with complexity that is impossible to conjure into reality via any other means. Still blows my mind nearly every time I see one in action. Especially cool, then, is the Mcor Matrix, a 3D Printer that aims to keep cost of ownership at a minimum by using as its elementals regular office paper and a common water-based glue. This hand model, for instance, was produced for only €3.70 ($US4.73). galleryPost('3dprinter', 3, ''); More »

6:39AM Jason Chen | The previously DVD and HD DVD-only Ultimate Matrix Collection is headed to Blu-ray October 14, which will be pretty much the same as the HD DVD version.

65-foot-high Lego Cathedrals Store 19 Billion Pieces a Year
2:15PM Gizmodo US Edition | Without a doubt, the Lego brick storage buildings were the most impressive part of my visit to Lego. When I first saw their 20 metre high ceilings, with multiple giant robots going up and down retrieving boxes full of bricks, I felt like I entered the Matrix. Below the thunderous noise of the flying machines, I heard myself shouting: “It’s a cathedral.” And as you will see in the video, with a total 65.6 square-miles storage area–900 million pieces at any given time–they are indeed The Lego Cathedrals. I was in total awe, and the amazement didn’t stop there.
