Inkjets that can recreate organs are coming soon. (I guess technically they would be Fleshjets, and technically, that name sounds gross).

TIOBE Programming Community Index. It’s interesting to see what programming languages are popular on a month by month basis. Java and C seemed to be neck and neck this past year.
