The Flyro Gyro is a toy which can be thrown about 100 feet. Thanks to a gyroscopic stabilizer built on the front the flyro gyro flys very well when you chuck it across a field.

Skype might just have to shut down sometime in the near future as the original founders, Niklas Zennstrom and Janus Friis who now own Joltid are revoking the licence agreement for the P2P software that Skype uses to run.
eBay are working on new P2P software to run free of the licensing agreement, but that software might not be built in time for the shutdown. If this all happens as eBay have described it then it would leave about 480 million users without VoIP service for some time. [Read more…]
AAXA have created their second generation Pico projector. It is named the P2 and has upped the resolution to SVGA which is 800 x 600 pixels. A 33 lumen LED light source throws an image up to 80″ in size. Currently, this is the highest spec Pico projector on the market (well, almost as it’s still only available by pre-order).
The projector measures 4.3″x2.1″x1″, and weights 260 grams. The unit has a VGA input which accepts a resolution of 1280 x 720 and batter life for the unit is just 35 minutes which you have to admit, it’s the greatest. However, optional batteries are available that will see the projector run for either 70 or 180 additional minutes. [Read more…]
