Back in the 80’s the cool Back to the Future films were launched. In BTTF 2 we saw Marty floating around on a hoverboard while being chased by Griff and the gang. This video looks to be an old attempt to re-enact that scene. Check it out below 🙂
Hoverboards Being Used ! Rarely Seen Footage ! – The best bloopers are here
The AQUOS 822SH is Sharp’s latest phone to hit the market. Unfortunately it’s just in Japan as it features 1-Seg allowing you to watch digital TV on the small screen. The body is made of aluminium and the phone weighs 120g. A common problem with phones is that the screens are often in portrait mode. This phone’s screen can rotate 90 degrees to allow the screen to be used in landscape (wide screen) mode and still be able to sit with out falling over. Five colours are available which are light blue, white silver, black, gold or pink.

I have seen many case mods dotted around the internet which are inspired by many movies and games. The latest and greatest is the StarWars case mod which is modelled around the Millennium falcon of Star Wars.
Now, let’s have a look at the components used for this custom base star war toy. A multi-colored cycling power light, dual hard drive activity headlights, blue EL-string engine bay, 6 exhaust fans for cooling, dual hard drives including one with window, Power, reset, and engine light switches in cockpit.
Impressed I imagine. It does not stop with just the case though. The Modder has also made an X-Wing in to a mouse. This modded case is truly one of the great ones to have been created. More pictures can be found after the jump.
Siemens Medical Solutions have created a laptop named the P50 which is designed to aid the medical industry. It weighs just 5 kilos and packs a number of cool features in. It is designed for use in vascular applications as well as in operating rooms and anesthesiology departments. The cool feature that got my attention was it’s ability to be portable and do ultrasound scans. The machine is built around an Apple Mac Book and has 2GB RAM with a 160GB HDD.
Another benefit of this machine is that it can connect to the internet and email can be done also as it runs regular MS Office apps. Mix this with portable ultra sound scanning you have a perfect way of communicating images back to the main office and specialists for review.

The I-Coaster is a cool toy which allows you to build up the iCoaster and watch the magnetic power throw the ball around loops, corkscrews and levitations. Sound effects can be used also which make it play noises when passing certain points.
In the box you get…
17 Magnetix iCoaster tracks, 2 light-up sensors, 6 stunt pieces, 10 adjustable towers, 10 15-millimeter magnetic metallic rider balls, magnetic elevator, and Sound FX Music Studio.
Not bad at all for a bit of fun although it does cost $154 currently at Amazon.

Caffeine Boost Your WIFI – Watch the top videos of the week here
Grab your self a couple of cans such as Sprite, chop them in half and follow the instructions on the video above to create a wi-fi signal booster. The process looks easy enough although I have not tested this yet. It would be interesting to see how much more of your house you can cover with a device like this. Let me know if you make one of these and if you see an increase in range.
The DVIEW is a business card sized PC which uses a used mobile phone LCD panel. It is built by Hokuto Systems Co Ltd in Japan and is capable of working by it’s self and displaying data on the screen with out the use of other peripherals. The screens are 2.2 inches running at QVGA (320 x 240). The processor is an ARM7TDMI core CPU which can run at 81Mhz. On the memory side it has 40k SRAM and can play back audio at MP3, MIDI and ADPCM.
There are plenty of good uses for a device like this and adding a touch screen to the device could expand it even further. I look forwards to seeing where this one goes.

Digitus is a concept idea which uses 1400 spheres which are magnetic with decorative material on one half. By magnetising various spheres it forces them to spin and an image can be built up. Examples of usage could be time, a calendar, caller ID, SMS messaging displayed and a number of morphing unique patterns spinning around your finger. Although the idea is concept I do think it has great potential and hopefully technology will allow it to happen.
