83-year old woman gets replacement 3D printed titanium jaw, makes her the coolest member of the bridge club

3D printers are continuing
to force their way into medical applications and the latest beneficiary is an 83-year old woman. She's the first patient to receive a titanium jaw crafted by those not-so dimensionally-challenged printers
. The method was developed by the BIOMED Research Institute at Hasselt University in Belgium and creates the replacement from layer-upon-layer of titanium dust. A computer-controlled laser ensures that the correct molecules are fused together. The technique, the first to replace the entire jaw, takes mere hours to make the substitute choppers, with other options taking several days. While the final product weighs a bit more than its natural predecessor, but that didn't stop the patient returning close to "normal speaking and swallowing" the day after the operation.

HTC's 2011 Q4: good summer, bad winter

HTC's big 2011 was limited to those warm summer months, when everyone wanted a smartphone for the beach. Now the accountants have confirmed HTC's initial statement
: fourth quarter revenues were down 2.49 percent (year on year). It made 101.42 billion Taiwanese dollars (just under $3.5 billion) in the last three months of the year, which looks worse than it is because of the blockbuster
135.8 Taiwanese dollar takings in Q3. Overall year on year revenue was up by 67.09 percent, but profits were down 11.88 percent, with the company saying the outlook won't get any better in the first quarter, but should pick up when it begins the process of shedding
a few ~~pounds~~ phones.

Director of Xbox Live policy and enforcement to leave Microsoft after 17 happy years

Stephen Toulouse, the man responsible for policing the not-so Wild West that we like to call Xbox Live
is calling it a day. Announcing the news on his personal site, he told readers that the split was amicable, adding that he had no particular plans beyond visiting his family and taking it easy. Microsoft has declined to comment on any eventual successor just yet, but released a statement saying that "the Xbox Live Enforcement Squad will continue their work to help ensure a safer and more secure experience on Xbox Live for our nearly 40 million members." Admittedly, the online squad's had more luck than a certain competitor

iBooks Author gets new EULA, aims to clear writer's block

We've waxed lyrical about iBooks Author
at the technological level, but a good self-publishing platform counts for nothing if authors are put off by its terms and conditions. A particular source of antagonism so far has been the notion that, if an author decides to charge a fee for their iBook, then Apple will claim exclusive distribution rights and prevent them from publishing their work anywhere else. Check out the More Coverage links below and you'll see that a number of writers tore up Apple's licensing agreement and flung it into the proverbial overflowing trash can. Now though, Cupertino has done some re-writing of its own and come up with a new EULA. It clarifies that Apple will only demand exclusive distribution rights over .ibooks files that are created with iBooks Author, rather than the book's content itself. It states that "this restriction will not apply to the content of the work when distributed in [another] form." So, there it is -- writers everywhere can happily go back to tearing up their own work again.

Server outage turns Harmony Link into a paperweight

The Cloud is great place right? It's all puppy dogs and ice cream, until it isn't. We'd suspect that's what Harmony Link
users who ditched their old school remotes for an iOS device are thinking right about now. You see while typical Harmony remote are only programmed via MyHarmony.com, the Harmony Link
apparently requires a quick phone home to work at all. That's according to a number of users at Logitech's forums starting yesterday morning claiming their Harmony Link is now a "very nice and sleek paperweight," only showing an error when they try to turn on the TV for their not-so-super Super Bowl party tonight. While we're sure this is a temporary problem and the servers will be restored before too long, it does make you wonder why Logitech would design a solution that wouldn't work at all when a server can't be contacted.

[Thanks, Kevin]

How would you change the Motorola Droid RAZR?

Phones, phones, phones: the burden of autumnal launches for a raft of handsets is that it makes our post-mortem
strand a little repetitive. This week's cellular telephone du-jour is Motorola's Droid RAZR
, a "7.1mm thick" slab that hopes you neither notice nor mention that 10.6mm hump on the top end. Ludicrous claims about its waistline aside, it oozes materials quality, built from Gorilla Glass, Kevlar and diamond-cut aluminum. It wasn't the most comfortable to hold in our fleshy palm, but it compensated for that with great performance and LTE. Of course, that battery could have been bigger, but where would you stick it? What would you sacrifice (and you do have to sacrifice something) in order to improve this handset? Ladies and gentlemen, it's over to you.

, took a look at the first organic concessions
ever to offered at a Super Bowl, and got things cooking with six delicious recipes for game time snacks

Eco transportation also blasted off from the starting line as London's first zero-emission electric taxis
hit the streets, and Stanford unveiled plans for electrified roads
that automatically charge EVs. We also saw Scotland launch the world's first hybrid sea-going ferries
, while Agence 360 did cyclists a favor by designing a nifty ultra-compact foldable bike helmet
. Meanwhile, Chevrolet announced plans to put environmental impact stickers
on all of their cars by 2013, the sun-powered solarGT car
set off on a race across the United States, and we brought you a gorgeous set of long-exposure photos that make speeding trains look like laser beams
.

In other news, renewable energy was a hot topic this week as researchers at MIT found a way to make solar panels from grass clippings
, another team of scientists developed a hip-hop powered biomedical sensor
and Britain mulled plans to install a new breed of radioactive waste-recycling nuclear reactors
that could power the UK for 500 years. We also brought you several fun designs for aspiring little builders - a set of awesome paper robots
and an industrial workbench
for tots. Finally, since Valentine's day is around the corner we shared 10 red-hot gifts
, along with 14 sexy sustainable skivvies

DASH promises stutter free streaming video over LTE, hopes you don't care about quality

We've all been there: fire up a clip from YouTube
or a movie on Netflix
and things start out great. But, then, after just a few moments, that LTE connection starts to give up the ghost and suddenly you're faced with unbearable stutturing or a video that just dies mid stream. Researchers at the Fraunhofer Institute for Telecommunications
are looking to solve that conundrum with DASH, or Dynamic Adaptive Streaming over HTTP. The idea is actually surprisingly simple -- files of different sizes and qualities will be available depending on signal strength and network load, and the stream will be able to seamlessly switch between them as these variables change. While this sounds like a win for both consumer and carriers, we're sure there are a few of you out there who just want the highest quality possible, even if that means waiting forever for that HD clip of the all accordion cover of Take On Me to buffer. Full PR is after the break.

Switched On: New World Recorder
Each week Ross Rubin
contributes Switched On
, a column about consumer technology.

When it comes to time-shifting television viewing, the conversation these days usually involves premium streaming services -- namely, Netflix
and Hulu Plus
. But consumers routinely shell out more than they do for either of these services -- in fact, sometimes more than for both of them combined -- simply to have more convenient access to the television from their existing cable or satellite subscriptions. Not only that, they're often willing to put up with a large, relatively noisy (and failure-prone!) box for this privilege. That box is the digital video recorder.
