USB Follow Focus for Canon DSLRs
Up until now, DSLR shooters have been modifying their DSLR rigs with a traditional lens gear based follow focus systems. Now, through Okii Systems comes a $400 USB solution. While its actual design might need work to feel more like a traditional follow focus, this system would allow for digital control of the lens during shooting.
The biggest visible limitation for the device is that there is no rail mount, but above all else, we're seeing innovation that will only help DSLR shooters and push the manufacturers to develop the technology further.

Henrietta Lacks "This woman is inside you"
This woman is inside you. Henrietta Lacks had cancer and when they took cells to test they found that the cells were immortal. This woman had body cells that did not die. These were developed into the HeLa immortal cell line which is the backbone for medical research. Henrietta's cells have been mailed to scientists around the globe for research into cancer, AIDS, the effects of radiation and toxic substances, gene mapping, and countless other scientific pursuits. HeLa cells have been used to test human sensitivity to tape, glue, cosmetics, and many other products. Damn.

"Your mission (should you choose to accept it) is to use video to explain a scientific concept in terms that a high school science class would not only understand, but actually be interested in watching. The videos must be short (less than three minutes long) and should take advantage of the medium. No narrated PowerPoint presentations—we want your images to move!"
