Now the highest-grossing film ever, "Avatar," has captivated millions of viewers with its picturesque scenery, extraterrestrial battles, and nature-loving, blue-skinned aliens. The premise of the film is that humans can enter the world of these 10-foot aliens, called the Na'vi, by way of half-human, half-Na'vi hybrids. A high-tech interfacing mechanism allows a human to remain inert while controlling one of these avatar hybrids just by thinking. Not only does the human manipulate the avatar's movements and speech, but he or she also experiences life -- every sensation, feeling and emotion -- through the eyes of the hybrid, as if consciousness were transferred. Scientists say we are many decades, even centuries, away from making this kind of sophisticated interaction possible, if it can be done at all. But the fundamentals of components required to create this complicated system of mind-controlled avatars are already in the works, and have useful applications in medicine. "We're starting to understand the basic building blocks, but the biggest challenges will be emotion and thought -- how to make another organism think what you think, to feel what you feel -- because those networks are much more difficult to sort out," said Dr. Brian Litt, associate professor of neurology and bioengineering at the University of Pennsylvania. read more source: CNN <object width="560" height="340"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bv3lRl8HO9M&hl=en_US&fs=1&"></param><param'>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bv3lRl8HO9M&hl=en_US&fs=1&"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bv3lRl8HO9M&hl=en_US&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="560" height="340"></embed></object> <object width="560" height="340"><param name="movie" value=" name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src=" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="560" height="340"></embed></object>images: Fair Use/Youtube/Screengrab/Lightstorm/IGN.com: THE AVATAR CONCEPT....Although nothing as complex as manipulating a creature through thought has been done, scientists working on allowing handicapped people to move prosthetic limbs with their minds are making headway. This idea actually played a role in the movie: Protagonist Jake Sully was in a wheelchair in his human body, but could walk, run and jump as his avatar.

Jon Hiseman.... Jon Hiseman (born Philip John Hiseman, 21 June 1944, Woolwich, London) is an English drummer, recording engineer, record producer and music publisher. In the mid-1960s Hiseman played in sessions such as the early Arthur Brown single, "Devil's Grip". In 1966 he replaced Ginger Baker in the Graham Bond Organisation and guested with John Mayall & the Bluesbreakers the following year to record the album Bare Wires with that band. In 1968 he formed what has been critically claimed as the "seminal" jazz rock/progressive rock band, Colosseum. Colosseum disbanded in 1971, although Hiseman later formed Colosseum II with Don Airey and Gary Moore in 1975. Between these two versions of Colosseum, Hiseman formed the band Tempest with Allan Holdsworth, Paul Williams and Colosseum bandmate Mark Clarke. Ollie Halsall joined the band temporarily making the band a quintet but Holdsworth left the group along with Williams, leaving Halsall to handle all guitar and vocal duties. Hiseman has subsequently played in jazz groups, notably with his wife, saxophonist Barbara Thompson, with whom he has recorded and produced fifteen currently available albums. Andrew Lloyd Webber, searching for a "sound" for an album to feature his brother Julian on cello, stumbled upon Colosseum II by accident and imported the whole band into his "Variations" project. This was the start of a ten year relationship with Hiseman, whose drumming features on recordings, TV specials and musicals. In 1982 Hiseman built what was at the time a state-of-the-art recording studio next to his home, and together with the compositional skills of Barbara Thompson produced many recordings for film and television soundtracks. Hiseman is a founding member of the United Jazz and Rock Ensemble, a German-based "Band of Band Leaders". In 1994, Hiseman reformed Colosseum after 23 years in the same lineup when it had last split. From that time, the band has been touring and it has released one live DVD and a several CDs. source:Wikipedia <object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value=" name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src=" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object><object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value=" name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src=" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object><object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value=" name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src=" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object>images: Fair Use/Youtube/Screengrab/www.kind-of-blue.de: JON HISEMAN/COLOSSEUM

Horror beyond human imagination.... Our shock picture last Friday of a Quatermass-style lifeform lurking inside a PC prompted a flurry of snaps forwarded by readers who had similarly confronted unspeakable horrors. We gather that many of our correspondents are responding well to therapy, and could be back working in PC maintenance in five years or so. Others, sadly, are condemned to spend the rest of their days in a padded room gibbering about alien beings like that unfortunate bloke from Quatermass and the Pit who sees a hellish vision of Mars inhabited by Red Planet bouncing insect creatures.

Anyone out there who has experienced The Invasion of the Ventblockers is urged not to approach the creature without first firing up a flamethrower, and to forward photographic proof to me. Be vigilant.

British singer-songwriter Imogen Heap was spotted at the US Grammy Awards this week wearing a hi-tech dress that displays Twitter posts. Imogen took home the Grammy for “Best Engineered Album, Non Classical” for her latest album “Ellipse” which she produced and engineered herself. Imogen`s ‘Twitdress’ included an LED necklace which displayed a live Twitter feed showing fans messages, and a transparent handbag complete with an embedded iPhone displaying Twitpic photos that fans sent to her via Twitter. source:Zimbio/Register Hardware
