The Cri-Cri is the worlds smallest twin engine airplane. It weighs just 170 kilos and can fly at a hefty 150mph which isn’t bad at all. The thrust is generated from 2 AMT Olympus Turbines. If one of the turbines is used it can still get up to 100mph. I cant say it looks like [...]

Lego has been around for donkeys years. Each month I come across something different built out of Lego. This month we have already had the Lego iPhone (completely bricked) and now we have the Lego Mindstorms NXT automatic toilet flusher. It is named RoboFlush and has one purpose. That purpose is to automatically flush so [...]
According to belt-buckles.net, the LED belt buckle is the hottest thing in that industry right now. To be honest, I never realised that LED belt buckles were all the rage. Ive never seen one in real life. Anyway, choosing one needs a lot of care and attention so that you get exactly what you need. [...]
With Google aiming for world domination they have now released a free 411 service. Dial 1-800-GOOG-411 from your cell phone, tell them where you are and what you are looking for and you will be connected free of charge. Not a bad deal at all if you ask me. For those who use regular paying [...]

Although they are just artists drawings/concept if you will, they are still interesting to take a look at as they are transformers made out of regular Filipino vehicles. Check the wall papers out [...]
Michelin have created some self regenerating tires which can go even longer then your long life ones. These new tires named the XDA5 feature 2 layers of traction. When the first layer wares out it reveals the second layer of tire. By doing this the tire can travel 30% further then before. Not only has [...]
A reverse engineered version of the 3.71 Sony firmware has been released by team M33. Rather then me try to summarise the changes made it would be worth you checking out Krizka who has a rundown of all the features and what it all does. Krizka also mentions that Dark_Alex is behind all this who [...]
What you see above is a multi touch pad built from a plastic bag, dyed water and a camera. The camera looks up from below and the image it sees it converted in to three areas through threshold. Light blue represents the background with dark blue being the fingers which are seen as an overlay [...]
Biometrics are very handy as they allow secure access to places by fingerprint, eye scans and other various parts of your body. As long as you do not loose your fingers with this lock then you can get in and out when ever you want. It would seem a little weird swiping your finger over [...]
This is the UXV Combatant warship that is being developed by BAE systems. The future according to BAE will be filled with AI and robots which will fight against each other. It sounds rather terminatorish to me. It expected that this ship will go in to service after 2020 which isnt that far away to [...]
