Amazon Opens Its Online Store For 3D Printers And Accessories [Updates]

3D printing is still on the edge of mainstream. Amazon’s bold initiative to open a 3D printer and supplies section on its portal is just the push the fledgling industry needs.

So, if you are shopping around for 3D printers and accessories, pay the online store a visit. Presently, Amazon is stocking products like printers, printer filaments, accessories, books, and CAD software. A Fabbster 3D Printer is retailing for $3000,

while on the lower end you can buy a JET – Open Source printer for just around $1000.

Amazon is the second major retailer after Staples’s to jump on the 3D printing bandwagon. Staples started selling The Cube 3D printer through its online channel and will soon bring it to a selected number of retail stores. Amazon probably sees a future market here, and though it may not be using 3D printing technology for any of its operations, you cannot fault it for recognizing a potential opportunity.

MC2 Post 1779 Don't Look Behind the Curtains Please

CES 2014, Day 3: The trade show highlights

They don't want you to see!

From: http://www.engadget.com

While the White House was busy extending the lifespan of the International Space Station, we were pounding the CES 2014 show floor. Sure, the Las Vegas Convention Center is packed with home automation demos, arm-bound muscle sensors and prototype smartwatches, but there's more to a trade show than just the exhibition hall -- there are celebrity cameos, killer interviews and WWE programming announcements, too. Take a step back from the CES crowds and join Engadget for a look at the show from another perspective.

Link: http://www.engadget.com/2014/01/09/ces-2014-day-3/

Our daily roundups are one way to look at the show, but if you want to know what's really cooking at CES, there's no better place than the official Best of CES awards. We've handpicked more than 40 products across 13 categories, representing the most exciting technology to come out of the show. Of course, it's not just our judges who are picking from the litter: We've also built a special People's Choice category, just to make sure you get a say. So take a breather, check out the finalists and pick a favorite -- you've got until 6PM EST tomorrow,

January 9th, to declare a winner.

MC2 Post 1775 Can a New Rat Pack 'Dooby-Dooby Doo' Save Vegas

The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas is the most expensive casino ever built in Las

Vegas -- and its owner, Deutsche Bank, is already planning its exit strategy from

the steep investment.

The Cosmopolitan is going to

"Roll the Dice" and See.

While Bruno at "The Chelsea" started 2014 with Covers of Janet & Michael Hits.

But can a return to a !NEW! Rat Pack be a better fit to Save the Las Vegas ?

MC2 Post 1774 Revisiting Ray Kurzweil's Entropy and Singularity

I Hear Judy saying Huh?

There are three books on my Audible Library that

even make 'Me Scratch my Head. '

Lawrence Lessig's Republic Lost

Link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Republic_lost

Robert Wright's Nonzero

Link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nonzero

and

Ray Kurzweil's The Singularity is Near

Link: http://en.wikipedia.or/wiki/The_Singularity_Is_Near

I Slog through it as best I can and come back to them to give them a fresh chance.

When I start jotting notes, or when I begin looking up the ideas just stated, I feel I've pretty much broken through some of the barriers to understanding.

And that's a good thing.

Wingman.

=========================================

Then there's the other books that I just love

to re-read.

That List includes:

The Rise and Fall of Alexandria         by Justin Pollard and Howard Read

The Greater Journey        by David McCullough

A Moveable Feast                   by Ernest Hemingway
