Nero And TiVo Team Up To Bring TiVo To Your Computer
I personally never wanted to maintain a buggy windows PC as a media center or PVR… which is why I love my TiVo so much. For those who prefer to do the PVR thing on the PC, things just got exciting. TiVo and Nero partnered to give you most of the TiVo PVR capabilities […]
Nissan’t Latest Robot Car Avoids Crashes
Nissans latest jump into the accident-avoidance world is the BR23C robotic car. The BR23C uses a laser range finder (LRF), which works like a bumble bee’s eye, to detect obstacles up to two meters away. Supposedly this system then allows the “car” to “instinctively” react to obstacles and avoid them. This is still, obviously from […]
Personal Submarine – Battery Powered
The C-Quester 3 by U-Boat Works is one bad lil personal submarine that is actually available for sale, unlike the hard to find Seabreacher. Although, not cheap at around $575K the C-Quester is both a boat and a submarine. The unit can dive to depths of 100m and can stay under water for six hours.

As an adult… flying a kite is kinda dorky… make the kite into a cursor kite and the dorkiness is multiplied by 10. Not sure where the hot chick on the beach fits into this story… but oh well. [Source]

30 Minute Charge = 30 Miles Of No Pedaling
I love it… I get 30 miles of pure non-pedaling laziness with only 30 minutes of charge time. Very nice. I can hear my BS story already… “I rode my bike to work 5 times this week… who’s the man!?” The 2009 Schwinn Tailwind eBike manages to hide the electronics pretty well so people will […]
4100 Lumen Flashlight – Starts Fires And Cooks Eggs
The folks at wicked lasers have a super cool, super bright flashlight dubbed “the torch”. The torch flashlight is 4100 lumens and some argue is just too bright. I would disagree with the “too bright” crowd if only the battery would last longer… 15 minutes of on time just isn’t enough. Oh… and the price […]
Chinese Building The Emdrive – To "Boldly Go" And Stuff…
Chinese researches claim they have confirmed the theory behind the so-called “impossible” space drive called the Emdrive. They are building a prototype, evidently believing that Newton’s laws are for pussies… If they are right, this would be a huge boon for the space exploration and for the Chinese Space-Uberness. The Emdrive, developed by British scientist […]
