This castle was built with magic -- the technological kind. Andrey Rudenko
A castle materializes out of thin air without hundreds of stone chiselers putting in decades of hard labor to make it happen. Is it the plot of a new Disney film?
Nope. It's what happened recently in Minnesota -- and the wizard who whipped up this magic castle was Andrey Rudenko, a contractor with a background in engineering.
Instead of using spells and potion to bring his castle into this world, Rudenko used something much more concrete. In fact, he actually used concrete extruded through a 3D printer he designed himself. Getting that concrete to the right consistency to be fed through the machine was quite a challenge Rudenko told CNET. "Although cement has existed for thousands of years," he said, "it hasn't been common to use cement mixes for low-speed precise extrusion. It took a lot of research and experimenting to come up with the proper mix. So the recipe is my own with common materials and some additives."
Rudenko's castle isn't quite big enough to house evil queens or hold royal balls, but the structure is quite impressive, measuring 10 by 16 feet with a height of 12 feet -- just think of the coolest castle playhouse you've ever seen. Then again, Rudenko's goal in creating the castle wasn't to make a livable structure. It was to act as a sort of proof of concept for the 3D printer and concrete extruding process he'd invented, so that he could move on to his real goal: printing an entire 3D house.

"A new era of architecture is inevitable, and I'm excited to see where the next few years will lead in terms of construction and design," Rudenko says on his website. "I have previously been sure I could print homes, but having finished the castle, I now have proof that the technology is ready."
According to the site, Rudenko is currently refining his printer so that it will be up to the task. The current machine, which according to 3Dprint.com (which first reported Rudenko's plans back in April), is based on the RepRap project, an open-source 3D printer that, once made, can be modified extensively and even be used to reproduce itself. Rudenko says that the printer can pump out layers that are 10 millimeters in height by 30 millimeters in width but that "countless other options are available with just the click of a button."
'Maison of Cards'? Netflix greenlights first French original show

Original French TV fare? Mais oui, says Netflix, commissioning its first French original series as it prepares to enter the country next month in an important expansion into mainland Europe.
"Marseille," which the company describes as "an eight-episode tale of power, corruption and redemption set against the rich backdrop of the French port city," will debut in all Netflix territories late next year after it begins shooting earlier in 2015.
France, along with Germany, are the two largest markets Netflix will enter next month in its biggest international expansion to date by subscriber potential. International growth is one of the streaming-video company's top priorities.
So far, that focus has been paying off. Netflix added 1.1 million international members in the latest quarter, compared to the 570,000 new streaming customers in the US. Moving into new countries abroad is an essential tactic for the California-based company to sustain its growth rate as its wide reach in the US slows down momentum, simply because of its size and the shrinking pool of remaining opportunity.

Amazon original series 'Transparent' angles for streaming-TV binges too Netflix shut out of top Emmy awards Netflix CEO: Sorry, we're not making a streaming deviceForeign programming is important as Netflix enters its next international regions. Though the Internet has broken down territorial barriers in entertainment, cultural differences persists in, well, different cultures. Blockbuster films are released globally at the same time as a matter of course after a history of doling them out to regions progressively, and US television companies like CBS report international syndication revenues greater than ever before. But even with pervasive English-language skills, Germans for example prefer their entertainment to be in their native tongue more so than, say, Swedes.
The streaming service already operates in the UK, Ireland, Denmark, Finland, Norway, Sweden and the Netherlands, as well as across Latin America and in Canada. Earlier this month, researcher IHS projected Netflix will add 5 to 6 million new subscribers from mainland Europe by the end of the year, which would represent a fifth of its total subscribers at that point.
Netflix, a data-rich tech company at heart, takes keenly calculated risks with its originals -- especially as it's embarking on something new -- and "Marseille" follows that pattern. The company knows genres that already resonate with loyal subscribers from its data mine, and it tends to favor original entertainment that has been tested before: "House of Cards" was based on a British series of the same name, for example.
Though set in an entirely different country, the story of "Marseille" may sound familiar to fans of "House of Cards." The series follows Robert Taro, mayor of the city for 25 years, in a face-off with an ambitious young politician who challenges him in coming elections. Netflix describes it as a tale of revenge and power, punctuated by maneuverings among drug lords, politicians, unions and other influencers in the city.
Tags: Digital Media Netflix About the authorPizza Gio is Australia's first pizza vending machine
Lexy Savvides/CNET It might sound like pie in the sky, but pizza vending machines have finally arrived in Australia, following examples in France, the US, and Italy.
The Pizza Gio machine vends two varieties of 11-inch artisan pizzas, cooked on demand in under three minutes. It's the brainchild of George Pompei, the owner of Pompei's pizzeria and Italian restaurant in Sydney's Bondi Beach.
Located in the Westfield Chatswood shopping centre, Pizza Gio has been over two years in the making. The machine itself is sourced from Italy and is restocked daily with pizzas ready to go. Customers choose the variety, pay using credit card or cash on a touchscreen, then wait in anticipation before the pizza is dispensed sliced and ready to eat.
While it might seem like supreme magic at play, the machine actually has some sophisticated technology inside.
"First of all, we have to guarantee and ensure the cold chain," said Pompei. "By cold chain, I mean the actual temperatures are maintained at all times. So that really safeguards the actual product. Even in the production stage, before it gets to the machine, there's a whole sophisticated cold chain process in place."
Pizza Gio can hold 84 pizzas at one time: 42 margherita and 42 hot salami. Pizzas are prepared as normal in Pompei's Bondi pizzeria. The dough rests for 48 hours, the ingredients are added and then they are cooked about 50 percent of the way. Then, they're then blast chilled and held until they are ready to be installed at -20 degrees Celcius (-4 degrees Fahrenheit).
Next comes the heating process, which gets up to 300 degrees Celcius (572 degrees Fahrenheit).
"The oven is really cutting-edge. What it does, it's actually able to replicate what goes in on a wood fired oven. We can alter and set the parameters of the oven and the way it cooks to really make the pizza come out crisp and beautifully cooked. If we put in different types of pizza, we can adjust the cooking time too."
The machine sends updates to Pompei's phone and computer, so if there is a variance in temperature or if the power has been cut, it stops dispensing the product and sends a notification alarm.
"We have a sign standing next to the machine, and one of the night cleaners put the sign behind the machine where the air intake is," said Pompei. "All of a sudden I started getting these alarms that the compressor was under duress, so I raced out and luckily it wasn't a machine malfunction, but what had happened was that it wasn't cooling properly."
Pompei says that the pizza vending model works in a different way to drink or snack machines because it's not about acting on impulse -- it's about the buyer actually craving a pizza. This means the machines always have to be ready to go, so everybody can give pizza a chance.
