PS3 modchip claims to finally allow backing up games without invasive console surgery (video)
Who needs George Hotz anyway? A USB modchip for the PS3 has emerged from the mists this morning, purporting to allow the dumping of games onto nearby storage -- the console's internal HDD and external drives are both a-ok -- in addition as the next playing of said games without the desire for the original ...

Bionic cat!
Cat with prosthetic legs! This poor fellow (Oscar) was in an accident with a combine, losing his legs. An ambitious veterinarian took him to a neuro-orthopedic surgeon, who crafted little peg-legs for Oscar and embedded them directly into the bone. The skin and bone, led by injected cells, have grown right over the cat [...]

Video: Japanese doctors use iPad during surgery
As we all know by now, the iPad can be used in many ways, and we know it’s a hit product. The Japanese seem to embrace the device, too (it came out in that country a few days ago). And for some strange reason, Japanese doctors in particular love the iPad. Last month, we reported about one living in Fukuoka in Southern Japan who x-rayed his device and posted a picture on his blog.

MvixUSA S2 and S4 HTPCs making their way to the market
MvixUSA has revealed that they will be rolling out two more HTPCs (Home Theatre PCs) to the US market in due time – the S2 and S4. What sets both machines apart would be the total amount of drive bays – with the S2 sporting two (you guessed it earlier, didn’t you?) while the S4 has double that amount. These are hot-swappable bays, which basically allow you to switch out media drives without having to open up the case and perform some sort of hardware surgery. Shared specifications and features include a Blu-ray drive, a TV tuner, RAID, Wi-Fi (802.11a/b/g/n) connectivity, HDMI out, Bluetooth 2.0 support, six USB 2.0 ports, an eSATA port, a bundled remote and 2GB RAM. One potential drawback to either machine might be its processor, which is a dual-core Intel Atom 330. You might want to look into performing some DIY upgrades yourself then, as the S2 and S4 will retail for $999 and $1,599, respectively.

BIOTRONIK external pacemaker has a heart for patients
The new range of external pacemakers from BIOTRONIK lets one connect it to temporary epicardial pacing wires right after a particularly stressful open heart surgery, or you can also hook it to a pacing central line or a PA catheter in an emergency. It is hoped that the new and improved dial design is intuitive enough to be understood by just about anybody – to think that it can confound brilliant folks like anesthesiologists, cardiac surgeons, cardiologists and other critical care specialists makes us wonder whether ordinary folk like you and I stood any chance in the first place! Anyways, the BIOTRONIK external pacemaker is touted to pace patients efficiently and without errors. The single chamber model offers 600 hours of battery life, which makes it a shade better than its rivals in the market.

Virtobot scanner performs ‘virtual autopsies,’ no body-slicing necessary (video)
Grossed out easily? If so, we suggest you hand this article off to someone more calloused while you read all about our recent Windows Phone 7 Series discoveries. For those of you still here, the Virtobot is one of the more ominous robots we’ve seen; used currently at the University of Bern’s Institute of Forensic Medicine, the creature is capable of performing “virtual autopsies.” In other words, corpses can be slid within the 3D scanner for investigation, all without ever cracking open the skull or slicing the cold, pearly skin. The goal here is to provide investigators with information on deaths even years after they happen, possibly after new evidence is dug up. It’s hard to say what this means for you here on this Earth, but you can rest assured that 187 you were pondering might be a wee bit harder to get away with now. Video after the break, if you’re dark enough to handle it.

DIY: Turn your Guitar Hero controller into a Ukulele
Here’s an interesting modification for a Guitar Hero controller. An anonymous modder posted a project to Instructables showing how to convert a full size controller to a small size. The modder converted his to a smaller size for his two year old daughter, but whatever your reason is, it looks like a fairly easy thing to do.

Robotic Surgical Simulator
The Center for Robotic Surgery at Roswell Park Cancer Institute and the University of Buffalo School of Engineering have come together to create what they dub the Robotic Surgical Simulator, otherwise known as the RoSS for short. RoSS enables doctors and surgeons to perform operations on virtual patients without having to worry about messy cleanups or a patient dying in your hands to leave a bunch of guilt behind. For the layperson who wants a go at delicate surgery, how about giving Trauma Center: Under the Knife a go on the Nintendo DS? Sure, it is an extremely old title, but at least it has its fair share of nerve wrecking moments.

Rumor: Google Music Hasn’t Signed Any Labels Yet [Google]There's an exceedingly attractive job going at Google, with the company looking for someone to move up its Music launch later this year.
