Robohand is a mechanical prosthetic hand that can be 3D printed at home from designs that are freely available on Thingiverse. The prosthetic is a collaboration between Richard Van As, a South African craftsman who lost four fingers in a work accident, and Ivan Owen, a Washington-based artist who makes mechanical hand sculptures. The duo collaborated over the Internet, meeting in person just once during the development process. The first Robohand was delivered to Liam, a five year old South African with no fingers on his right hand, and as this video shows, it works rather well. For more on the story, see this Ars Technica article and coming up short handed, the official blog for the project. 

An ex police officer Christopher Dorner has already killed 3 people, and severely wounded one. He's being hunted by L.A.P.D. He has been fired for falsely accusing another officer of using excessive force in 2008, and seems to be after revenge. "The violence of action will be high.

Air pollution in China has gotten so bad lately that one entrepreneurial environmentalist's wacky idea for a solution doesn't seem all that far-fetched: putting clean air in a can.

When a thick gray haze blanketed Beijing and several other nearby Chinese cities last week, sending kids to the hospital, grounding planes, and causing the government to order cars off the road, Chen Guangbiao hit the streets of Beijing to hand out yellow and green cans of smog-free, non-carcinogenic air. "Free fresh air. Open it and drink it and breathe it!" the Guardian quoted the multimillionaire and national celeb as saying. "It keeps you fresh the whole day!"

China is officially overdue for a "clean air act" of their own.

Record has it that the smog in China was in fact, so bad  that you can see it from space. From space!

Warnings of a monster blizzart set to his the Northeast U.S.  are freaking everybody out. Have we not had enough natural disasters this year?

Guess how old Bob Marley would be today! Only 68! The Reggae king died so quickly that most of us already forgot how or why.

Despite his absence, Marley has continued to garner success, being honored with such awards as BBC’s song of the millenium for "One Love" and getting inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1994.

33-year-old Christopher Jordan Dorner, an ex-LAPD officer, is being hunted down for the shooting of more than 3  people, some of whom were law enforcement officers, in the passed week. Rumor has it that this is some kind of retaliation for being fired some 4 years ago. Looks like they were right to fire him!

On Sunday, Dorner killed Keith Lawrence and Monica Quan in Irvine, California, while sitting in a vehicle, authorities say. Quan was the daughter of former LAPD officer Randal Quan, who, it is claimed in the letter, handled Dorner's termination appeal and bungled it.

On Thursday, just after being named as the suspect, Dorner decides to ambush two officers at an intersection in Riverside, California. One officer dies, the other was hospitalized.
