A computer that relates to you?
Those inventive folks at the Sandia National Lab have come up with cognitive computers. But will it work? According to the folks working on the machine, it could be incorporated into most computer systems in 10 years. Hmm...something else in the house I can ignore when it talks to me?

Fly me to the moon...
Don't look now friends, but it looks like the European Space Agency is headed to the moon --
http://www.esa.int/export/esaCP/SEMQ6OYO4HD_Expanding_0.html. Here's the deal in a nutshell, hit the link to get more info:
The European Space Agency’s SMART-1 spacecraft is blasting from French Guina on August 28-29th. They are piggy-backing this with two commerical satellites -- talk about making your payload pay for itself! The ship is going to orbit the moon with a new ion-powered engine. It should be orbiting the moon sometime next fall.

The ESA site is pretty cool (though not up to NASA sites!)
