Vaccum Grip out, Electrostatic in
It seems a new wave of grippers for robots is out, and its using electrostatic to wrap around an object to grip it. Clever idea and looks like it works pretty good. http://spectrum.ieee.org/automaton/robotics/robotics-hardware/electrostatic-robot-grippers?utm_source=feedburner-robotics&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+IeeeSpectrumRobotics+%28IEEE+Spectrum%3A+Robotics%29

Want stats on a list of passwords, use Pipal
Haven’t heard of this one, apparently its a ruby tool and found in backtrack. Gives stats on a list of passwords that could be useful for presentations on pen-testing. http://www.darknet.org.uk/2014/10/pipal-password-analyzer-tool/
