Wo die Pizza herkommt...

While many retailers are feeling the pinch, the food industry is prospering with convenience food proving to be a popular item for many families who are eating out less than before. Two factories in the Irish Republic produce more than 150 million frozen pizzas a year.

i love the tomato sauce paint ball gun and the pepperoni slicer

Industrial Manufacturing process of frozen pizza...gross.

After 2 1/2 years of blood, sweat, tears, and the occasional Jägermeister, I'm finally officially announcing a project I've been quietly working on:

wow.

What would you have printed?

The Espresso Book Machine can print any of 500,000 titles while you wait in 5 minutes

It's not elegant and it's not sexy – it looks like a large photocopier – but the Espresso Book Machine is being billed as the biggest change for the literary world since Gutenberg invented the printing press more than 500 years ago and made the mass production of books possible. Launching today at Blackwell's Charing Cross Road branch in London, the machine prints and binds books on demand in five minutes, while customers wait. Signalling the end, says Blackwell, to the frustration of being told by a bookseller that a title is out of print, or not in stock, the Espresso offers access to almost half a million books, from a facsimile of Lewis Carroll's original manuscript for Alice in Wonderland to Mrs Beeton's Book of Needlework. Blackwell hopes to increase this to over a million titles by the end of the summer – the equivalent of 23.6 miles of shelf space, or over 50 bookshops rolled into one.

Household machine to draw water out of the air

The solution to the world's worsening water shortages by drawing the liquid of life from an unlimited and untapped source - the air. ... Their creation, the WaterMill, uses the electricity of about three light bulbs to condense moisture from the air and purify it into clean drinking water.

thanks to a firm of eco-inventors from Canada who claim to have found the solution to the world's worsening water shortages by drawing the liquid of life from an unlimited and untapped source - the air.

"I wanted to build a machine that would be immediately recognizable as a Turing machine to someone familiar with Turing's work."

A video of a working Turing machine that Turing himself would probably have recognized despite the use of modern electronics (the only thing missing is a truly infinite tape). I'm impressed, but it also just drives home why there wasn't a "personal Turing machine revolution" after he proposed the device!

Building a real Turing machine. It uses 35mm film leader and writes 0/1 with a dry erase marker. Very cleaver.
