Former MakerBot exec launches Solidoodle sub-$500 3D printer

Former MakerBot exec launches Solidoodle sub-$500 3D printer

Let's be honest - we all want a a 3D printer to call our own, right. Price has always been a significant barrier to the dream of printing pretty much everything your imagination can conjure (barring some hardware limitations, of course). For its part, MakerBot has made some significant strides toward tearing some of those barriers, and now Solidoodle, led by that company's former COO Samuel Cervantes, is looking to take the trend even further. The company's current self-tilted model starts at just under $500.

Google+ Share button gives you another option aside from plain 'ol +1s

Google+ Share button gives you another option aside from plain 'ol +1s

Although Google's had its +1 button all over the web for some time now, helping folks show their allegiance to things they like, it's lacked a dedicated button just for sharing content. That's now changed, as the Google+ development team recently let loose the Share button. The button is similar in appearance to its +1 sibling, but rather than just being a shortcut for quickly slapping content with a virtual high-five, it gives you a way to easily share pages on your Google+ profile. (Yes, you could share through the +1 button, too, but consider this one a bit more focused).

During the 2012 Beijing Auto Show, Audi took the wraps off its concept hybrid vehicle dubbed the Audi A6 L e-tron. If the name sounds familiar, it's because this particular concept will be based off the original Audi A6 L with the difference being that the A6 L e-tron will feature a 2.0 TFSI and an electric motor capable of producing 70kW (or 95hp). The car can be powered purely by its electric motor alone up to a range of 80km, assuming the driver can maintain a speed of 60kmph. Under normal circumstances, the hybrid system will decide when is the best time to use either engine.

Sophos: 1 in 5 Mac computers harbors malware

Sophos: 1 in 5 Mac computers harbors malware

What's scarier: 1 out of 5 Mac computers in a group of 100,000 found to be infected with malware, or that Sophos can take a snapshot of all 100,000 without each user's knowledge. Even if the security firm is trying to access the overall health of Apple's platform, installed software secretly taking snapshots of the computer's current condition sounds a little creepy nonetheless. According to the latest report from Sophos, 100,000 Mac computers using the company's free anti-virus software were analyzed over a span of seven days.
