			<title>MIT Unveils Robotic Manipulator Filled With Coffee Grounds</title>
			<link>http://w3bguru.com/news/article/mit-unveils-robotic-manipulator-filled-with-coffee-grounds</link>
			<description><![CDATA[
An anonymous reader writes &quot;MIT researchers have developed a highly articulated robotic manipulator based on soft materials that can harden to reposition the device. The technique is known as jamming, and it relies on pouches filled with granular material like coffee grounds; when air is removed from the pouches, they become rigid. The researchers combined jamming actuators with cables to build a manipulator resembling an elephant trunk. They say the device is low-cost, capable of grasping a variety of objects, and can remain in a hardened state for extended periods of time using little energy.&quot;

			<title>With Mountain Lion&#039;s iCloud Integration, Apple Strengthens the Garden Wall</title>
			<link>http://w3bguru.com/news/article/with-mountain-lions-icloud-integration-apple-strengthens-the-garden-wall</link>
			<description><![CDATA[
snydeq writes &quot;With WWDC around the corner, iOS 6 rumors are taking center stage, but the real action for developers may be around iCloud. Forthcoming OS X Mountain Lion will integrate iCloud into the formal file system, making iCloud usage much easier and thus more common, and thanks to iCloud Documents, which lets apps open and save documents directly in iCloud, developers will be able to better tap iOS-to-OSX document syncing in their apps, a la iWork. But there is a downside to this opportunity: &#039;For developers, it further enmeshes you in the Apple ecosystem, almost in the way that America Online did in its heyday. Case in point: OS X apps can use the iCloud Documents APIs only if they are sold through the Mac App Store.&#039;&quot;

			<title>Newfound exoplanet may turn to dust: Planet’s dust cloud may explain strange patterns of light from its star</title>
			<link>http://w3bguru.com/news/article/newfound-exoplanet-may-turn-to-dust-planet’s-dust-cloud-may-explain-strange-patterns-of-light-from-its-star</link>
			<description><![CDATA[Researchers have detected a possible planet, some 1,500 light years away, that appears to be evaporating under the blistering heat of its parent star. The scientists infer that a long tail of debris -- much like the tail of a comet -- is following the planet, and that this tail may tell the story of the planet&#039;s disintegration. According to the team&#039;s calculations, the tiny exoplanet, not much larger than Mercury, will completely disintegrate within 100 million years.]]></description>

			<title>India Lurches Toward Internet Censorship</title>
			<link>http://w3bguru.com/news/article/india-lurches-toward-internet-censorship</link>
			<description><![CDATA[
First time accepted submitter ixarux writes &quot;India is at a crucial crossroad at the moment. Internet censorship laws are getting stricter as it begins to ban file-sharing and video-sharing websites. It started with Indian courts allowing censorship of Google, Facebook, etc. It has now gone one step ahead and decided to ask ISPs to block file-sharing sites. It is the movie industry which is again at the forefront of this. Anonymous retaliated, and targeted the websites of various Indian government websites in protest. What India lacks at this crucial juncture are debates in the public domain about this and citizens actually organizing protests as seen in the West.&quot;
