When many of us think about Cyborgs we picture Caprica, Battlestar Galatica or Dr. Who, but in reality Cyborg technology is emerging at tremenous rates, making it possible for people to walk again, to see where sight was once not found and even to control technological devices through body-to-device interfacing. Basically, it should come as no surprise that Cyborg rights are starting to make their first real appearances.

The number one and number two things asked after presentation of our DIYDTG were… “How does it hold up in the wash?” and… “How did you change out the inks?” While we’ve explained the first several times (regular ink washes out, DTG ink gets a little lighter but survives) we can hopefully answer the second with a tutorial. To change out or refill the Epson cartridges we used was relatively simple. You’ll need a few supplies. -Old/used (or new, but you would be wasting ink) Epson cartridge -DTG ink (we recommend DTGinks.com ) – SSC utility (this lets your trick the printer into thinking it has a fresh cartridge) -Windex (ammonia base won’t rust the print head) -Plastic syringe -Flat head screw driver -Hot glue -Electrical tape -Small cup -Rags (ink gets everywhere) -Resolve or other stain remover (to clean up said ink everywhere) -Time (a lot of it) -(Optional) sponge from other printers -(Optional) latex gloves -Original head waste collection piece from printer

If the image above makes you salivate or at least gets your mind buzzing with excitement, you want to head directly over to Cambridge Publishing and grab the new 422 page Handbook of Mathematical Functions. Why? As noted in the press release: The NIST HANDBOOK OF MATHEMATICAL FUNCTIONS has been the most widely distributed and cited resource for scholars, scientists, and engineers ever since it was first published in 1964. Over the past few decades, tremendous advances in applications of mathematics have taken place and the 2010 edition reflects these modern developments in theoretical and applied science. So what do you get in this massive volume?

Well, it looks like Adobe isn’t wasting much time in fixing that “critical” Flash vulnerability that could allow remote hijacking of a user’s computer, but it’s a slightly different story when it comes to patching Adobe Acrobat and Reader. According to Adobe, the Flash fix will be rolled out by tomorrow at the latest, but it says the fix for Reader and Acrobat won’t be available until June 29th. Somewhat curiously, Adobe says it had considered rushing out a “one-off 0-day” fix for Reader and Acrobat as soon as possible, but says that would have caused too much “churn and patch management overhead on our users” considering there’s already a regular quarterly update scheduled for July 13th. So, instead, Adobe has decided to push that update up to June 29th and simply include the fix for the vulnerability with it. In the meantime?

Adobe promises fix for Flash vulnerability by tomorrow, Reader and Acrobat fix on June 29th

Still looking to snap up your own Surface ? Ain’t got the cheddar to buy that one that comes free with a yacht ? In all honesty, we’re in no position to make promises about the affordability of this one, but GestureTek is gearing up to offer the world yet another option with the curiously titled GestTable. This 42-inch beast of a table contains a multitouch LCD with a lovely 1080p resolution, which means that you could theoretically watch the next installation of the Batman series on the same surface that’s holding your cup of joe. Not that we’d recommend that, but hey….

Over on the Gear Live Twitter account , we’ve been talking about a partnership we would be forming with Gazelle so that those of you with an original iPhone, iPhone 3G, or iPhone 3GS could trade in your device for cash. Why would you wanna do that? Well, with the iPhone 4 set to be released in about two weeks, the easiest way to upgrade is to sell your current device to get cash to put down towards the new one. In fact, depending on the condition of your current model, you could even walk away with enough money to cover the cost of a new iPhone 4, and have some left over to put in the bank (or to buy a case or something.) If you want to take a look at what you could get for trading in your current iPhone, here’s the list: 32GB iPhone 3GS 16GB iPhone 3GS 16GB iPhone 3G 8GB iPhone 3G 16GB Original iPhone 8GB Original iPhone 4GB Original iPhone Just choose your iPhone model above, and full in the four questions that ask about the condition of your phone, and you’ll see the amount that you will be paid for your device. If you are cool with it, accept the offer, and you ship your phone.

Ah, at long last. Panasonic’s Toughbook line has long since offered argonauts a critical level of protection on their mobile machines, but the word “mobile” was subject to interpretation. Pretty much across the board, the Toughbook line has always been fat and chunky, but we’ve been willing to see the beauty on the inside in exchange for being able to toss our machines on the concrete whenever frustrations become too much to stand.

Note: This is only a tiny portion of the graphic, you have to hit the jump to see the whole, incredibly long thing. Reminds me of myself. This is a graphic depicting the earth from the highest mountains to the lowest ocean trenches . The middle is filled with fun facts like, “the height of Mount Everest”, “the scuba diving record”, and, “if the GW dunked his penis in the ocean it would probably hit a submarine”.

It’s getting harder and harder to keep track of which Android handsets are running on any given version of the platform — but if you’re making an effort to do so, we’ve got two impending amendments for you. Yesterday afternoon, TmoNews got ahold of the memo above, confirming that the myTouch 3G (in addition to the myTouch Slide, which we already knew would be getting updated) will be getting Android 2.2. There it is, in good ol’ plain English: “Coming soon, we plan to update existing myTouch 3G phones — not just our new Slide — to the latest software version, Android 2.2″ But wait, there’s more! Our buddies over at Slashgear reached out to Motorola, who confirmed that the Droid (which just got bumped to 2.1 back in late March ) will be getting the 2.2 update treatment “in the near future”.

Though the iPhone 4 is barely out the door, there are already plenty of options introduced to encase your brand-new phone in a layer of protection. Not since its introduction has there been such a need for brand-new cases – while your new 3GS or even new 3G could fit reasonably well inside of most previous-generation cases, the iPhone 4′s all-new design calls for an all-new crop of cases. Joining the list of offerings is Belkin’s line of iPhone 4 cases . Ranging in price from $25 to $30, the cool, sophisticated cases provide lots of options for protecting your device. There’s the classy, professional Verve Folio and Verve Sleeve (both $30), the trendy Shield Fusion ($25), the sure-to-be-popular clear Grip Vue ($25), and more! There are even more images after the break, so keep reading.

We hit Jack Hall’s 1984 matchstick ukulele back in 2007 , but it looks like Jack’s story is a lot bigger than one instrument: Jack Hall from Brighton, England, couldn’t pick, strum, or draw a bow, but when it came to building stringed instruments, he had an amazing talent. You see, every inch of the instruments he built is made entirely with used matchsticks.

When I was a kid, most telephones were heavy, clunky things that sat on your Dad’s desk at home (or were firmly attached to the wall), and were robust enough to use for home defense if need be. We’ve come a long way, baby, and frankly I’m diggin’ the 21st Century
