Posted by PCWorld
The Menlo Park, California, city council voted unanimously on Tuesday to approve Facebook's plan to expand its headquarters in the city, pending a final procedural vote at its next meeting on June 5.
Facebook has sought permission to house as many as 6,600 workers at its main campus in the former offices of Sun Microsystems and potentially to make taller its west campus buildings, which were once home to Tyco Electronics. The company first presented its expansion plans in December 2011.
Because the expansion will bring more traffic to the area and necessitate the removal of some mature trees, Facebook will be required to carry out environmental mitigation measures, including a cap on the num[...]

Posted by VentureBeat
If you’ve ever wanted the freedom to create 3D objects in your own home, look no further than the Bukobot.
The Bukobot is a Kickstarter project for an affordable (starting at $600) open-source 3D printer from Deezmaker.
