Terminator Weekly Review (28, 2010)

We'd like to welcome you to our newest endeavor, a new method of reviewing articles that have been posted online. Not just rehashing all the articles we can get our hands on, but sifting through all our own news sources and delivering you some of the most interesting stuff.

As reported a few days ago, we had decided to delete our entire news archives. This way we could finally focus on stuff to be included into the fanportal, like for instance a DVD of Tokyo T4 museum images thats been sent to us by a fan more than a year ago (whoops... sorry!).

This very article is our new method of reporting on all news sources online that we think had something special to report. Sure... most are rehashes of themselfs, like for instance this week, at least 5 different news sites reporting on NetFlix featuring the Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles. Imagine us having to report all 5 sites reporting about it? Nope... no more!

No more nitty gritty of just about anything... but just the facts and figures of the best Terminator related news contents. Soo... lets get to it and lets review this last week.

All posted links open a new tab/window.

Better Living Through Implants

Imagine if you could learn to fly a helicopter by downloading software directly to your brain. Imagine if your eyes could see an object, overlaid with data, miles away in the dark. These science-fiction scenes from The Matrix and Terminator movies may be less fictional in the future, thanks to the fascinating science behind medical implants.

Interdisciplinary teams of surgeons, researchers, engineers, and computer scientists are creating complex electronics designed to work within the human body to simulate human functions. Check www.pcworld.com for more info!

New robot warplane capable of picking own prey

Date: 17 Jul 2010 || Source: www.ctv.ca

James Cameron's futuristic vision in the "Terminator" series of predator robots flying the skies took another step towards becoming reality this week, when the British military unveiled a top-secret long-range unmanned drone.

Called Taranis, after the Celtic god of thunder, the unmanned drone is capable of carrying out reconnaissance missions in other continents and has a long-range strike ability with a cache of bombs and missiles available.

And just like those "Hunter-Killer" robot jets in the "Terminator" series, the Taranis has been designed to use artificial intelligence that could potentially allow the drone to identify and attack enemy targets on its own.

Check CTV.ca for full article. Be sure to check out the front of the plane... since it looks somewhat like a logo we all know ;).
