Fra artiklen om hvordan han kontrollerer den: For Barnes, the device needed to be able to take cues from the human body. The lab designed a prosthesis that uses a technique called electromyography to pick up on electrical signals in the upper arm muscles. By tensing his biceps, Barnes controls a small motor that changes how tightly the prosthetic arm grips the drumstick and how quickly it moves, vital skills for a drummer. The researchers then added another layer of complexity: a second, autonomous drumstick on the robot arm (see photo). This second stick, controlled via its own motor, uses a microphone and an accelerometer to sense the rhythm Barnes is playing, as well as music from any nearby musicians. An algorithm then produces a new beat with a complementary rhythm and melody, modelled on the music of jazz greats like John Coltrane and Thelonious Monk. With this extra artificial intelligence, human and machine combine to make Barnes a kind of "superhuman drummer", Weinberg says.

But when he lost his arm in a freak accident he thought his dream was over. Now he has a second chance at the big time thanks to a brand new robotic arm. Fedest!!

Hej, Vurderer I at skifte PS3/PS4-harddisk ud - vurder også en SSHD - hybrid SSD/HD. Denne 5400rpm 1TB disk er billig, og har 8GB flash-memory, der cacher information du bruger tit. Så - den vil mindske loadetider en hel del - fx til bilspil og andet, hvor man skal loade hver gang man skifter bane og går tilbage til menuen igen.. http://www.proshop.dk/Harddisk/Seagate-Laptop-Thin-SSHD-1TB-2399862.html

Kan godt lide det ægte trommeskind - mylar bliver ikke det samme. Og den ekstra perkussions-finesse var grisefed!

Kan desværre ikke embedde denne, så I ser klippet her.

Du slår den måske med for tunge stikker?

http://www.rollingstone.com/music/news/lou-reed-velvet-underground-leader-and-rock-pioneer-dead-at-71-20131027 Hvil i fred, Lou - du var en af de største.

Vild med at det er helt ok at du ikke kan spille trommer, så længe du hverken har langt hår eller chelsea-frisure. Bare du har et trommesæt!

http://www.buzzfeed.com/copyranter/worst-drummer-wanted-ad-in-the-history-of-music Genial trommeslagerannonce - med humor!

Dog er afsender ufattelig nem at forfalske..

Simpelthen glimrende, spørger du mig. Vokalisten har en stor fremtid, og trommeslageren var god!

Kan du ikke bare skifte harddisken ud? 1) Køb ny intern harddisk. 2) Tag backup til anden ekstern USB-harddisk. 3) Skift intern harddisk ud med ny harddisk. 4) Start ps3'en op - den vil selv formatere harddisk og downloade updates. 5) Restore backup fra ekstern USB-harddisk. 6) Done. Har selv skiftet harddisk på min PS3 til en 500GB eller noget. https://support.us.playstation.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/362/~/upgrade-the-hard-disk-drive-%28hdd%29 Harddisk: 2.5" (Must be a 2.5 inch! Which is your standard Notebook HDD.) SATA 1 (1.5 Gb/s) or SATA 2 (3.0 Gb/s) 5400RPM or 7200RPM The tray that holds the HDD supports a HDD up to 9.5mm in depth. (Most HDD's will fit, but be careful with bigger HDD's such as 1TB HDD's.) Købte selv en 5400RPM disk (hvor hurtigt den roterer) - 7200RPM-diske laver mere varme, men kan sænke loadetider med 5-10%. Fx en sådan en: http://www.proshop.dk/Harddisk/Samsung-SpinPoint-M8-1TB-2284448.html http://www.proshop.dk/Harddisk/Hitachi-Travelstar-7K1000-1TB-2394803.html Alt uden at bryde nogen garanti - det er meningen at du skal kunne skifte den ud selv.

Måske når det kommer til PC. Lige nu ser jeg hellere frem til Star Citizen (2015) og Elite: Dangerous (2014).
