ipop my baby
Kids born today are going to know more about technology by the time they’re ten than many of us adults do now. If you want to give your favorite infant a head start in the tech world, wrap him or her up in one of these cute onesies or T-shirts. The Newbie onesie and Geek in Training T-shirt (sizes 6 months to 4T) boldly proclaim a baby’s technological proclivities, while the iPod My Baby onesie (sizes 6 to 18 months) is a bit more ambiguous. Sure, iPods are known for their elegant interfaces. Babies? Not so much.—Frith Gowan

Pregnant Robot Teaches Medical Students
Noelle is a popular pregnant robot being used for simulating the process of giving birth to a baby. Noelle emits realistic pulse rates and can urinate, breathe and even undergo bleeding.
Noelle can labor for hours and produce a breach baby or unexpectedly give birth in a matter of minutes.
She ultimately delivers a plastic doll (with umbilical cord) that can change colors, from a healthy pink glow to the deadly blue of oxygen deficiency.
Noelle costs upto $20,000 but still in demand because medicine is rapidly moving away from centuries-old training methods that use patients as guinea pigs and turning instead to high-tech simulations.

Animated illustrations of Leonardo da Vinci
These animations aim to bring some of Leonardo’s visions to life.
‘The animations have been made using various techniques: a combination of traditional drawn animations and computer-generated animations. The biggest task was to bring those two together, and try as far as possible to emulate the drawings in Leonardo’s sketchbooks.
‘In some ways Leonardo made it easy for us, in other ways not, because of the great complexity of his vision, and the graphic complexity of his drawings. It’s been quite a task to capture this complexity in animations, without changing it in such a way that they are no longer Leonardo’s drawings animated but our drawings. There’s some compromise there, but as far as possible the results come directly from material contained in Leonardo’s sketchbooks.’
