Check out this video!
With only a simple device, you can walk around your room, and create a 3D model of it.
The music is nice as well. (Fits the "shut up and take my money" effect.)

Homemade 3D printing

For 4000$, now you can have your homemade 3D printer.

A few years back we talked about laptops - when they were not yet mainstream -,
and we envisioned a future, where advertisements are full of happy people, holding notebooks in their hands, lying in parks, and so on.
The same happened with 3D printing: now it's starting to be accessible to anyone.

One Planet Per Star

http://www.jpl.nasa.gov/news/news.cfm?release=2012-010
Six year study shows, planets are a rule rather than an exception.. There are 100 billion planets in our galaxy.
I suppose this raises the possibility of meeting other intelligent species.
Can hardly wait.
