At TEDxGöteborg, scientific visualization expert Anders Ynnerman shows us sophisticated new tools — like virtual autopsies — for analyzing this myriad data, and a glimpse at some sci-fi-sounding medical technologies in development. This talk contains some graphic medical imagery.

More information: http://engt.co/h96VAT

In this video I take a first look at the highly anticipated HP / Palm webOS tablet, codenamed TouchPad. Both tablets are set to run HP webOS with a design that clearly takes a lot of inspiration from the Palm Pre.

The Topaz sports a 9 inch display whereas the Opal is set to launch with a 7 inch screen. Both tablets should have similar features including a buttonless design, instead relying on a gesture area that resides in the bezel. They also will contain a front facing camera, three speakers for a premium audio experience and a MicroUSB port.

The release date is yet to be confirmed however it seems likely that the Opal will be ready for a September 2011 date in three configurations: Wi-Fi only, AT&T 3G and Verizon 4G.

Naomi Klein: Addicted to risk

http://www.ted.com Days before this talk, journalist Naomi Klein was on a boat in the Gulf of Mexico, looking at the catastrophic results of BP’s risky pursuit of oil. Our societies have become addicted to extreme risk in finding new energy, new financial instruments and more … and too often, we’re left to clean up a mess afterward. Klein’s question: What’s the backup plan?
