Posted: 05 Oct 2011 12:52 AM PDT

Yesterday we saw a photo which is reported to be of the new Google Nexus Prime which is being made by Samsung for Google, and we are expecting the Google Nexus Prime to be unveiled at the Samsung Mobile Unpacked event later this month.

Now Samsung has released a teaser video for the Google Nexus Prime, and we get a very brief look at the handset from the side, we suspect Samsung may release a few more Nexus Prime teaser videos before it is officially unveiled.

Scientists Cultivate Bacteria That Can Fuel Rockets

Posted: 04 Oct 2011 03:46 PM PDT

The lucky species of microbes are collectively known as anammox bacteria. The anammoxians (let the awkward handle suffice for now) are blessed with a rare appetite for bodily fluids, which isn’t very surprising for bacteria. What makes them extra special is their unique role as converters in the recycling process. Not just any recycling, however, but recycling into fuel. This isn’t particularly surprising, since bacteria are among the most efficient and ubiquitous organisms on our planet (and beyond, perhaps).

Unreal Engine 3 Coming To Flash

Posted: 04 Oct 2011 03:19 PM PDT

We’re not sure if Epic’s Unreal engine is feeling the heat from upstart Unity, since the former is still the de facto AAA engine and not doing too shabbily on mobile either, but it’s now muscling in on Unity’s home turf: the browser. And what’s more, it doesn’t even need a separate, special plugin like Unity does. All it needs is Flash, which comes as part of the package with one of the biggest browsers out there.
