Making a Better Robotic Hand: It's All In the Palm

What makes a hand so versatile? Fingers come to mind first -- but as designers of robot arms have learned, said neurobotics pioneer Yoky Matsuoka, the hand is just as much about the palm. Specifically, the palm's flexibility -- a quality I'd never even considered until she mentioned it and I tried to use my hand while keeping my palm stiff.

Augmenting Data Beats Better Algorithms

eldavojohn writes "A teacher is offering empirical evidence that when you're mining data, augmenting data is better than a better algorithm. He explains that he had teams in his class enter the Netflix challenge, and two teams went two different ways. One team used a better algorithm while the other harvested augmenting data on movies from the Internet Movie Database. And this team, which used a simpler algorithm, did much better — nearly as well as the best algorithm on the boards for the $1 million challenge. The teacher relates this back to Google's page ranking algorithm and presents a pretty convincing argument. What do you think? Will more data usually perform better than a better algorithm?"

Gen Y Workers Reinventing IT for the Better

buzzardsbay writes "We all know the complaints about young employees. They depend too much on their parents' money, they need constant hand-holding, they have no job loyalty, they demand more than they're worth, they disrespect older employees, and they're naive about corporate culture. But despite this conventional wisdom, there's growing evidence that the different working styles of Gen Y workers might be causing fundamental — and beneficial — changes in the way enterprises run, especially when it comes to IT. For example, they may show better judgment when making tech purchases and are often better with green IT initiatives This is a nice counterpoint to a previous story (and resulting incendiary comments) that dubbed young tech workers a risk to corporate networks.

NEW YORK (AP) - Credit ratings agency Moody's Investors Service downgraded ratings on Palm Inc. further into junk Monday, to "B2" from "B1," citing the Treo maker's fiscal third-quarter results.
