* It can be up or down. It's more fun when it's up, but that makes it
difficult to get any real work done.
* In the long-distant past, its only purpose was to transmit information
considered vital to the survival of the species. Some people still
think that's the only thing it should be used for, but most folks
today use it for fun most of the time.
* It has no conscience and no memory. Left to its own devices, it will
just do the same damn dumb things it did before.
* It provides a way to interact with other people. Some people take
this interaction very seriously, others treat it as a lark. Sometimes
it's hard to tell what kind of person you're dealing with until it's
too late.
* If you don't apply the appropriate protective measures, it can spread
viruses.
* It has no brain of its own. Instead, it uses yours. If you use it
too much, you'll find it becomes more and more difficult to think
coherently.
* We attach an importance to it that is far greater than its actual size
and influence warrant.
* If you're not careful what you do with it, it can get you in big
trouble.
* It has its own agenda. Somehow, no matter how good your intentions,
it will warp your behavior. Later you may ask yourself "why on earth
did I do that?"
Some folks have it, some don't.
Those who have it would be devastated if it were ever cut off. They

it's not worth the fuss that those who do have it make about it.

Starcraft 2 Zerg Demonstration
Video showing the Zerg in SC2.
Unit
Overlord
The overlord fulfils the same role within the swarm. It has the ability to attack. Detection is not an inherent trait; you will upgrade it.
Zergling
Zerglings have lost their controversial wings and appear to have smaller bodies. Their functionality as expendable swarming units and their ability to morph into Banelings remains.
Hydralisk
The hydralisk remains the ideal Zerg shock trooper that is able to attack ground and air with their potent needle spines. Additional abilities cannot be confirmed thus far. There are unconfirmed rumors of a melee attack.
Lurker
Lurkers are visible while burrowed.
Mutalisk
The mutalisk remains a swift Zerg flier that is armed with glave wurms to hit multiple targets. We cannot confirm which Zerg fliers, if any, evolve from the mutalisk although it is likely at least one does.
Baneling
The Baneling is still a suicidal rolling bomb that evolves from a zergling; it is well-suited to destroying clumps of enemy units. Thus far, they function identically to the Banelings seen in the original WWI StarCraft II demonstration trailer.
Roach
The roach is a very fast moving unit that recovers health quickly.
Queen
The queen is a vastly different unit. She has the powerful ability to control Zerg base defence. The queen can create special structures and extend creep. It has the ability to create toxic creep. And it can make buildings regen faster. She has a nomad-esque ability drop temporary buildings that can attack.
The queen has become a keystone unit. Varied rates of regeneration appear to be a factor in StarCraft II.
Infestor
The defiler's replacement, the infestor can move while borrowed. This ability supercharges use of darkswarm, plague, and a multi-purpose infestation ability. Terran barracks and supply depots are confirmed infestation targets.
Corruptor
The corruptor attacks air units. Instead of destroying them, it "corrupts" them. It can cause a large group of units to fight each other, quickly turning the tide of the battle.
Swarm Guardian
The swarm guardian is much like the original guardian, but it can now also create broodlings.
Ultralisk
The ultralisk can burrow.
Infested Terran
Produced at the barracks (command center is not confirmed), the infested terrans move more slowly than marines

Russia's military window on space
Eleven silver balls not far from Afghanistan's border. They are the key to Russia's space shield, an optical-electronic unit called "The Window". Each one is a powerful telescope. They see every object up to 40,000 kilometres from the surface of Earth. "The Window" is run by Russians, but is located much further to the south of Russia's border, in Tajikistan
Modular Snake Robots
Snake robots can use their many internal degrees of freedom to thread through tightly packed volumes and access locations that people and machinery otherwise cannot. These highly articulated devices can coordinate their internal degrees of freedom to perform a variety of locomotive gaits that go beyond the capabilities of conventional wheeled and legged robots. The true power of these devices is their versatility; they can crawl, climb, swim, and scale flights of stairs.

Next Gen Zune Could Have Smart Shuffling
At Microsoft's Techfest, a researcher was showing off a smart shuffle system that uses tags and meta data like tempo and genre to direct playlist creation in a portable music device. The demo was being done on a first generation Zune.
The system is being developed in direct response to the huge number of songs people carry around on their media players, and specifically the millions of songs a Zune library can stock using a Zune pass. The system automatically recommends new songs based on songs played, and the logic is continuously "steered" by voting tracks up and down.
DARPA Close To Awarding Contract For Spy Plane That Stays Aloft For 5 Years
According to Flight Global, DARPA is close to awarding a contract to build an unmanned aircraft that can stay in the air for up to 5 years at a time. DARPA describes the "Vulture" project as a "persistent pseudo-satellite capability in an aircraft package." In other words, the aircraft can hover over a single area, narcing, communicating, or surveying for years at a time.
As with most lofty goals, there are major obstacles to contend with. First and foremost, the designers are going to have to figure out how to power such an aircraft over the course of these long missions. Oh, and it will have to do it while carrying a 1000 pound payload in the fearsome winds at a 60,000—90,000 feet. No problem right? As for the design, the Vulture will most likely draw on NASA designs like the one pictured above, but there is no definitive time table on when we might actually see a working craft
