I found an article discussing the possibility of a new drug that allows the user to have a photographic memory.
Scientists have stumbled upon this possibility while they were studying a region of the visual cortex. They found if the RGS-14 protein is boosted in mice, the mice could better remember objects they have seen.
Imagine if scientists could perfect this protein boosting. We could further unlock the full potential of the human mind. We could look at a map and then remember every street on it. We could look at a blue print and remember what goes where.
The one issue that I am seeing is whether or not we would be able to look at the page of a book and remember everything perfectly or just remember what the page looks like.
The one major known is that there is some major potential coming from this protein discovery.

I found this video while stumbling and I thought it was a rather interesting achievement.
The group use more "aggressive" tricks to get the helicopter through surprising obstacles. What would make this more impressive is if these tricks could be used on a larger scale.
After you watch this video, imagine a full size Quadrotor using these maneuvers to get through any sticky situations.
Beyond that, air shows would become a whole other league too. I really enjoyed this video, let me know if you do too!
I found an article discussing Casio's plans to create blue tooth watches for android phones. These watches will connect to the phone for several features.
The most exciting one is that the watch will actually serve as a caller I.D. as well as a watch. If we are in classes and get a call, we could look at our watch to see who is calling. This also works with emails and text messages.
Another feature that will be beneficial is the "find my phone" feature where it will make your phone buzz.
The one draw back of this is that it only works within 5 meters.
Further details, such as music and sound control are still in the works.
Sadly, we have not heard more specific details on when it will be released.
Here is the link to read more on it.
