Last-Minute Leaked Shot of the Apple Tablet: Curiously Plausible [Unconfirmed]
We're about 12 hours away from seeing the thing for real, away from the speculation and leaks, but these two photos popped up just a few minutes ago. We don't know if it's real, but it's definitely possible.
So here's what we can see in these photos, sent by a tipster to Engadget: A tablet in the general form of an iPhone, including the trademark home button, looking like it's encased in some kind of S&M leather case with snaps. It's running what seems to be a larger, scaled version of the iPhone's Google Maps app. In the upper left, it looks like it says "No Service," which would be referencing 3G (also a ha! moment for AT&T, if it uses AT&T) as well as a Wi-Fi logo. Very little else can be ascertained, including the most important pieces of the puzzle, the software and keyboard.
Is it real? It's the most likely suspect in my mind, not least because it only popped up the night before the event—Apple's security is so tight that this is the most leakable time. But it is, right now, unconfirmed.
Stay tuned until tomorrow, when we'll be liveblogging the Apple event from San Francisco. [Engadget]
Generator Coiling/Winding

The Secrets of SkyMall Lie in an Arizona Office Park [Skymall]
Bill Donahue made a trip to the headquarters of SkyMall, purveyors of the most useless gadgetry in the western world (good luck competing with Brando). My favorite part of the article? SkyMall's president is named Christine Aguilera. Ha!
It is kind of an interesting piece, though—SkyMall doesn't make, design, or even (to my surprise) ship products. They just pick and choose their favorites and assemble them into a magazine, and maybe provide some customer service. Mostly, the piece is a portrait of a company that could not be in a worse industry during a recession: Sharper Image and Circuit City have already bit the dust, and SkyMall's profits are way down. But there is a very cheerful-sounding guy working there, and I like their rationale for dismissing a USB-powered air-conditioned shirt:
"You have to unplug it to get up and go to the printer?" Downey said, vaguely incredulous. "I vote no."
"It's a geek shirt," said McCoy. "It wouldn't sell."
Good call, SkyMall. [WorldHum]
Conference to focus on therapeutics of the future
Some of the leading scientists in bioengineering, nanotechnology and pharmaco-genomics will gather on Tuesday, January 26, 2010 to discuss how to harness the tools of these emerging fields to develop new diagnostics and treatments for complex diseases.
NEC Electronics Adopts Cadence Encounter Digital Implementation System for Leading-Edge 40-nm ASIC Designs
Utilizing more than 20 million gates, the scale of the new ASICs has increased by two- to four-times over previous designs targeting 55-nanometer and 90-nm process technologies.
Building body parts using nanocellulose
As the first group in the world, researchers from Chalmers will build up body parts using nanocellulose and the body's own cells.
Breakthrough for the super material graphene
Graphene produced using a method developed at Linkoeping University is now being used as part of a study at Chalmers University of Technology, where it has been shown that graphene maintains the same high quality as silicon, thus paving the way for large-scale production.
Large current to flow with zero resistance
How can one increase the maximum current which can flow in a superconductor without any resistance? Counter-intuitively the answer in some circumstances is to increase the dissipation (i.e. the energy losses) in the superconductor.
New strategies in the fight against influenza
Flu viruses are extremely adaptable and difficult to combat as a result. Scientists in Berlin have now identified new starting points for the treatment of influenza.
Agilent Technologies’ Acquisition of Varian, Inc. Cleared by European Commission
Agilent Technologies, Inc. and Varian, Inc. today announced that they have been granted conditional antitrust clearance from the European Commission for Agilent's proposed acquisition of Varian.

Synopsys, Inc., a world leader in software and IP for semiconductor design, verification and manufacturing, today announced the availability of high-quality DesignWare High-Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI) 1.4 transmitter (Tx) and receiver (Rx) digital controllers and PHY IP solutions that are compliant to the standard specification.
Where droplets gently touch a membrane
Scientists at the Max Planck Institute of Colloids and Interfaces have described mathematically why some vesicles constrict to form a figure-eight shape. As part of this process, they have established that this constriction differs in its details to what was previously thought, and that its shape is dependent on the material characteristics of the components involved.
Chaos at public nanotechnology debates in France
Protestors have caused the public to be banned from four debates on nanotechnology taking place across France.
Sperm count chip to provide men with home fertility tests
A revolutionary DIY sperm count testing kit has been developed by scientists that will give men the easiest option of determining their fertility.
