Aptera – New Design
Looks like the folks at Aptera have made some changes to the Typ-1 vehicle they plan to start selling this year. From the picture it looks like Aptera has added a window behind the doors, added side mirrors (big bummer because the cameras were cooler), shrunk or removed the rear window, changed the door handle, […]
IOData’s Overpriced Mini Bluetooth Keyboard
If you are one of the nerds who busts out a keyboard to work on your PDA or phone during meetings… I hope you catch a cold. IOData disagrees with me and thinks that folks need a mini Bluetooth keyboard for their BT gadgets. I am sure some dorks are getting excited by this […]
Man Crosses English Channel With Jetpack
Yves “Fusion Man” Rossy crossed the English Channel last Friday, going from England to France with a jetpack strapped to his back. Believe it or not, he is the first person to do this. 49 year old Rossy is a pilot who normally flies large airliners for a living. The jetpack was powered by […]

Brimming with phat cash from oil sales, Saudi Arabia’s King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST) in a joint venture with IBM, is building a supercomputer that will rank in the top ten in the world (six-ish).

Brakes For Skateboards?
Folks, I can’t make this up. I know, I know… some parents reading this are thinking this is the best idea ever… and that they are going to buy them for Johnny’s skateboard. And I guess if Johnny sucks at skateboarding and lives on lombard street, this might be a good idea. But, for any […]
Party In A Box
Get your next party started right… with some cheap Chinese made disco bling. For only $29.95 you get a disco ball, a police style light, and a mirror ball. Might not be a bad deal for the kids.
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 […]
BoomCooler – Not So Cool
The BoomCooler is, in my opinion, not so cool. The damn thing won’t even hold ice! Seems the modders were too interested in adding a stereo to a cooler… and forgot the original purpose of the new boom box. Also… a bit hard to justify the $899 price tag considering the parts are worth say, […]
