Don’t miss NYU’s ITP spring show 2010 : ITP’s graduating students will be presenting a wide variety of highly creative and interactive projects that they have constructed over the course of their final project seminars. ITP is a two-year graduate program located in the Tisch School of the Arts whose mission is to explore the imaginative use of communications technologies — how they might augment, improve, and bring delight and art into people’s lives. Perhaps the best way to describe us is as a Center for the Recently Possible.

Corey Haim died from natural causes, the Los Angeles County coroner announced today, explaining that a drug test revealed that drugs were not a “significant contributing factor” in the death of the actor at 38 .

At the time of Haim’s death, police said that an overdose was a possible cause of death.

It’s an endless battle: a new transport protocol replaces an old one and all of the drives based on the older system are completely obsolete. Well, Seagate thought long and hard and created the GoFlex system, a drive with removable transport hardware that can turn a standard SATA drive into a USB 2.0/3.0 drive, a Firewire storage device, or even a powered eSATA device. When you’re ready to swap, you simply buy a new adapter rather than a new drive

(PhysOrg.com) — New results from a drilling expedition off Antarctica may help scientists learn more about a dramatic turn in climate 34 million years ago, when the planet cooled from a “greenhouse” to an “icehouse” state. In just 400,000 years – a blink of an eye in geologic time – carbon dioxide levels dropped, temperatures plunged and ice sheets formed over what was then the lush continent of Antarctica.

Android’s fragmentation issues are probably the most common complaint regarding Google’s open source Android OS (aside from “it’s not an iPhone”). AndroidCentral has come out with some new numbers regarding how many users are running which version of Android, and the platform is evenly divided.

We like electric vehicles here at CrunchGear, from the Volt to the Leaf to the Eneloop to the U3-X . But none of those are very common purchases, and although electric cars are looked forward to with anticipation, electric bikes seem to have escaped the notice of the US altogether. Japan and Eastern Asia have these things all over the place, but even here in eco-friendly Seattle, they’re rare as hens’ teeth
