- The Impossible Project - MB Interview
- In June of 2008, Polaroid shuttered its SX-90 instant film manufacturing facility in Enschede, Netherlands, citing the global shift toward digital technology. Of course. Almost immediately after, Austrian entrepreneur Florian Kaps teamed up with Dutch scientist and 28-year Polaroid employee, Andre Bosman, to rescue the factory and its instant film manufacturing equipment. Setting themselves a one year goal, they set out to re-engineer Polaroid's legendary and complex film.
And look at that analog watch: time's up! Motherboard recently exchanged some words with both Kaps and Bosman to see how things are developing in advance of their February re-launch of instant analog film.

- Strange Geoglyphs Discovered Beneath Clearcut Amazon
- The geoglyphs are believed to have been sculpted by ancient people from the Amazon region around 700 years ago, though their purpose is still unknown. So far, nearly 300 geoglyphs have been identified, but with advances in satellite imaging--and increased clearing of the jungle coverage--scientists are hoping to discover many more of these strange, geometric designs. With the aid of satellite imagery from Google Earth, soon archeologists in Brazil will be finding more and more large geometric designs carved into the ground in the Amazon rainforest.
