The computer mouse was the creation of Doug Engelbart and his team at the Stanford Research Institute in California, who needed a simple way of controlling their computers.

Enjoy taxidermy? .This project is the sick, sick work of Instructables member canida and company. It is a real mouse, gutted and fitted with parts from one of those small laptop mice. PETA members may want to look away, or go jump off a bridge, but I'm sure the mouse died from natural causes.

Nor only were Damascus swords sharp and beautiful, they were also objects of mystery. The best European bladesmiths from the Middle Ages on up weren't able to make them, even though they carefully studied examples of blades made in the East. Damascus blades became even more mysterious when the art of making them actually died out. The last Damascus swords were made in the early 1800s. picked by hmtksteve 2 months ago 4 comments edit related share technology |

Dr Eagles, working with Dr Matthais König from the Alfred Wegener Institute for Polar and Marine Research in Bremerhaven, Germany, has devised a new computer model showing that the supercontinent cracked into two pieces, too heavy to hold itself together. picked by AutumnLotus 7 months ago 1 comments edit related share science |
