Fabbers (a.k.a 3D Printers or rapid prototyping machines) are a relatively new form of manufacturing that builds 3D objects by carefully depositing materials drop by drop, layer by layer. While several commercial systems are available, their price range - tens of thousands, to hundreds of thousands of dollars - is typically well beyond what an average home user can afford.

Introducing Fab@Home: this website provides an open source kit that lets you make your own simple fabber, and use it to print three dimensional objects. You can download and print various items, try out new materials, or upload and share your own projects. Advanced users can modify and improve the fabber itself.

Here's a YouTube video of a Fab@Home Model 1 building a silicone rubber bottle:

Dear Santa, I know is a bit early, but this christmas all I want is an Apple iPhone.

As everyone, I'm can't wait for today's Steve Jobs keynote at the MacWorld San Francisco. What are the new gadgets he's going to announce? Which software suites will have new versions (or new applications)? Will he announce the delivery date for Leopard (the next version of MacOSX)?

Meanwhile, I decided to make a (funny?) exercise:

• first, I compile all the rumours someone is talking about and made a list of terms;
• next, for each term, went to Google and search for 'MWSF 07' + term;
• finally, created the following graphic with the number of results:
  
  

The keynote will start at 5 pm GMT, so soon we will be able to know if this is (or not) a viable method for predict Apple announcements
