Elio Motors Wants To Make An 84MPG Car for $6,800
Well, technically it isn’t a car… by law, it is a motorcycle. This is both good, and bad. The good, at least in California, you get to use the carpool lane without any of those lame DMV stickers. The bad is that some states will require the driver to get a motorcycle license. Before we […]
Kentura Solar Plant Is Cleaned By E4 Robots
Two of my favorite things coming together to make the world a better place. Solar and robotics.

Watch Dogs Official Release Date 5.27.14
Maybe better late than never should be Ubisoft’s tagline for their “latest” game Watch Dogs. The game has been talked about since 2012. Yes, 2012, as in pre Xbox One and PlayStation 4. No mention if Watch Dogs is coming out on all platforms (Xbox 360, Xbox One, PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, and PC) on […]

The latest U.S. Patent, # 8,666,034, will make it so Apple users can passively screen audio calls while people are leaving real-time voicemail. Genius.
