(Why you'd be that turned on by extreme cervical closeups is another matter entirely. But hey, to each his/her own!) More »

If you're still ~~prodding yourself with a giant robo-licker~~ kicking yourself for missing San Francisco's Arse Elektronika conference last year, not to worry: there's a new call for papers for this year's installment. We hear the theme this year is "Do Androids Sleep With Electric Sheep?", though frankly we think the answer is fairly obvious. (monochrom.at, via slashdong.org; thumbnail via VSC)

Scientists have developed a new computer system that can create 3D images that you "feel" with a special glove. Yes, the virtual handjob is within our grasp. (Come on, we were all thinking it.) (newscientisttech.com, via prometheus6.org)
