In the past we’ve spoken about remote control cars and rc helicopters but how about remote controlled movie characters??
Well, Buzz Lightyear, as many will know, is the famous character from the Toy Story movie that was originally released back in 1995. Now, 15 years later, you can get hold of your very own (or for your kids of course) Buzz Lightyear remote controlled toy.

The Sony PSP Go is Sony’s latest handheld to the market. It’s basically a new PSP but for some reason, seems to lack the hardware to make you go wow. Anyway, to cheer things up a little it appears that Sony will be pricing games on the PSN (PlayStation Network) starting at just ‚¬1 with a jump to ‚¬2 and finally ‚¬5 each.
This move brings the pricing in to the Apple App store price range and interestingly enough, Sony have been actively trying to get iPhone developers moving their games over to the PSP Go platform. [Read more…]

This high speed book scanner uses a camera that captures pages at 1000fps as they turn. A system built in allows it to automatically correct any distortion to the text due to the page bending as well as light differences due to shadows etc…
The process if it takes off could be used to speed up the process of scanning books to be used as eBooks.
The camera uses lights connected to a synchronized control circuit and a laser range projector to estimate the three-dimensional page geometry. This allows it to correct any distortion from the page being turned while at the same time flashing it with uniform, ideal lighting. The 3D data can even be reproduced on a computer. The system could theoretically be used for color copying as well, but the current quality of the scanning data still requires some improvement. Google has been digitizing books and a system has been developed to automate page-turning to reduce the human labor component in this time-consuming, expensive line of work.
The Wi-Spy 2.4i Spectrum Analyzer allows you to scan wireless signals that could cause interference with your home or office wireless network.
The device can be used to analyze the busy 2.4GHz band which can be used by various gadgets as well as microwaves, cordless phones etc… [Read more…]

Another report of an iPhone Explosion is moving around the web today. This time the report comes from France where a French teenager claims to have been hit in the eye from a flying bit of glass caused by a screen exploding.
The report also mentions that the phone made the traditional hissing sound which followed by the screen breaking. Another report was recently mentioned a couple of weeks back from Liverpool where an iPhone was heard to be hissing and apparently jumped several feet in the air after being thrown out to the garden.
The Consumer Product Safety Commission in California also has documents outlining another 15 cases of burns cases as a result of people chilling out with their iPod tunes.
