C-17 In Action – These bloopers are hilarious
This RC plane uses 4 small jet engines and can be seen taking off, flying around and then landing on the grass succesfully at the end. Flying an RC plane with precision can be difficult because when looking up it is often hard to see which direction the plane is going due to shadows and the bright sky behind it. The controller did a very good job of landing it.
A modified Kawasaki ZX10R has been built which has 12 speakers around its body which have an output of 1500 watts. To make use of all this power needed to be heard, you have two iPods, a Sony PSP, flat screen with DVD and remote control as well as an input for electric guitar. This is a crazy bike and gives out a lot of noise. I am just not quite sure yet who gets to watch the movies on the DVD player and flat screen when the biker is riding around 🙂 At least he will be heard a few more miles off.

If you havent been in the queue on the east coast and picked up an iPhone 13 minutes ago then you can have a go of this virtual iPhone. This pretend phone doesnt actually allow you to play with any features though. Instead it allows you to mess up the screen, scratch and put fingerprints all over it. Its just for fun. 😉
The actual iPhone does have a glass screen which is supposedly better for keeping clean and scratch free.
This video shows the incredible Millennium Falcon being built with LEGO using stop motion animation. It took 38 hours to build and as can be seen above, is very creative. The ship is built piece by piece and you get to see all the insides come together in a creative way. It is well worth watching should have a spare few minutes.

LCD and Plasma screens are great because they are so slim they save a ton of space. TVs can now be mounted on the wall, with in mirrors, on the ceiling and now, even under the bed. The video after the jump shows a large TV that tucks away under the bed when you do not need it. At the push of a button it slides out and lifts up to allow you to watch TV. Once hidden, it is completely out of the way and out of site which is ideal for some types of room.
The video after the jump shows how you can take a regular printer cartridge and fill it with ink that glows in the dark. All the parts you need can be purchased from regular stores and the process takes just a few easy steps to complete. The image above was printed on to regular paper, charged under a light for a minute and then the light switched off.
I have seen several pictures of people trying to create their home in to that Star Trek experience. A few months back, some guy in the UK tried to sell his Star Trek Voyager home on eBay for a few hundred K if I remember correctly.
This next Star Trek is a home cinema set up which uses original props from the set. The owner purchased two original bridge consoles at an auction. As can be seen he hasn’t held back at all in creating the full star trek experience. Crazy if you ask me though! [Read more…]
Here we have a piggy bank that senses when a coin it put in its mouth and eats it. Its weird, but cool to watch although not something I would ever want to own because of the sheer weardness. The coin eating piggy bank will cost $20.34 when it is released on the 6th August.

The device has a 2 inch screen which from the video after the jump looks very crisp and clear. The A800 can be used in landscape or portrait mode allowing you to watch movies in widescreen.

Sound is enhanced by DSEE (Digital Sound Enhancement Engine) technology which restores frequencies lost during the compression of MP3.
The P27 is created by Blusens and is a PMP (Portable Media Player) which has a 2.4 inch screen. The screen can show 260K colours which allows for a nice clear image. The device its self is small and measures 2.56 x 1.97 x 0.39 inches.
It is capable of playing video from AVI and MPEG file formats and also supports audio from MP3 and WMA. As well as being for audio and video this little player can also display JPEG images. Another nice feature of this little player is the built in 1GB of memory. Although thats not the hugest amount, it is larger then a few others. Memory is expandable via miniSD which currently has a capacity of 4GB.
