In short: self-building chips used to take a long time to complete using standard methods, but using microwave ovens rather than a standard kiln reduces build time, making self-assembling nanomachines much more feasible.

The story is interesting, but this comment is awesome. I’m not including it since it’s huge and filled with enough vitriol to level a city.

The Burger Lab: The Myth of The 12-Year-Old... →
We’ve all heard the story. This brave person is actually using the scientific method to see if it’s true, and try figure out why. There are eight different samples for this test, in order to find out whether it’s the beef, the bun, the size, or the storage environment, or if it’s all a load of bunk. We’ll have to wait to see the results, though (via thedailywhat).

The Escapist : Video Galleries : Daily Drop : Glass Paperweight. A sign that LoadingReadyRun have too much time on their hands. Every day, Paul Saunders gets on top of a step ladder (not a taller ladder, guys?) and drops something in front of a high-speed camera. This one is pretty decent, as is the Rubik’s Cube. But, seriously: pizza?
