McLaren Formula One Designer Unveils New Minicar, Smaller (And Cooler) Than Smart Car

2010-06-28T18:10:00.000-07:00

The T.25 Minicar, unveiled Monday, is a new generation of city car designed by a Formula One engineer. Gordon Murray DesignRide in the center like Mario Andretti

A new tiny car designed by a Formula One engineer tops out at 80 mph, but it can ride two to a lane, suggesting a new way to reduce congestion on city streets.

The T.25, designed by McLaren F1 maker Gordon Murray, runs on regular gasoline and will cost about $9,000, CNN-UK reports. Its fuel efficiency is about 74 miles per gallon, partly because it's a lightweight 1,200 pounds.

It has an electric cousin called the T.27, which will reach about 80-100 miles per gallon and cost $18,000.

Like its iconic F1 racer forebears, the T.25 has a central driving position, allowing motorists to feel like they're in a miniaturized Gran Prix.

Murray's design team had been secretive about the T.25's details until Monday, when the car made its first public appearance. It showed up at the Smith School's World Forum on Enterprise and the Environment in Oxford.

It's smaller than the Smart car, at less than 8 feet long and about 4 feet wide. That narrow size would make it possible for two cars to ride in a UK highway lane, and for three cars to fit in a typical parallel parking space, Murray's Web site says.

The car's manufacturing process is also unique -- Murray claims his "iStream" process will revolutionize the assembly line. It allows all major components to be fitted directly on to the chassis prior to the body panels, which are pre-painted and recyclable.

The car has a modular interior that allows for six different configurations, which can be easily changed to fit passengers or cargo. Murray's team is planning T.25 versions of a van, pickup truck, taxi, police car, convertible and even a minivan, according to Green Car Reports.

Jump into the next generation of arcade gaming in the Virtusphere

Get ready to lose yourself in videogames-literally. In May, the Excalibur Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas installed the first public Virtusphere, a human-sized hamster ball that lets you move through virtual worlds by walking, running, or crawling inside it. Until now, the sphere has been used primarily for military and police training.

Now, wearing a virtual-reality visor, anyone inside can play a first-person-shooter game or tour historic Russian architecture.

The 10-foot sphere is made of the same plastic as Legos, and its curvature helps to cushion players if they fall. The ball spins on a platform fitted with 45 caster-mounted wheels. Beneath, an optical sensor tracks motion the same way a computer mouse does, watching for relative movement across x and y axes. To make the experience truly immersive, the player is fitted with a head-mounted display with two internal LCD screens. A laptop wirelessly collects the data from the sensor and the gyroscopes, magnetometers and accelerometers on the headset to create the image the player sees.

As new spheres pop up in malls and arcades, users will be able to jump into movie trailers or globe-trot using Google Earth.

LHC Scientists Simulate the Sound of the 'God Particle'

2010-06-28T17:55:00.000-07:00

If a theoretical force-carrying, subatomic particle were to materialize in the universe and no one were around to hear it, would it make a sound? Existential aspects aside, physicists at the Large Hadron Collider believe that the elusive Higgs boson, should it prove to be real, will most definitely make a sound, and they plan to be around to hear it. In fact, that's one of the ways they plan to detect the so-called "god particle," and they've simulated the sounds a Higgs boson might make so they can listen for its arrival.

The sound won't actually come from the particles themselves, but from the ATLAS experiment, one of the four huge sensors placed within the 17-mile particle collider. One of ATLAS's sensors, the calorimeter, measures energy from proton collisions is made of seven concentric layers. Each layer represents a different note, and their pitches can change based on the amount of energy produced by a particle collision.

From that, researchers at the LHC have simulated what the emergence of a Higgs boson might sound like if and when it occurs within ATLAS based on what they think the energy of a particle's emergence would produce. The sounds are actually very musical and quite beautiful, if a bit eerie (akin to listening to an Aphex Twin record). Researchers will use the sound signatures as an analytical tool to help them identify new particles if they do indeed emerge from the particle collisions.

First Ever Torrent Exclusive Series Released

2010-06-28T17:48:00.001-07:00

Torrents have been getting a bad rap lately, but pressure has been increasing lately as more and more studios are cracking down on piracy. They must know that you cannot kill a system like that (even by suing those who downloaded The Hurt Locker), it’s just too large and spread out. Somebody seems to get this, as we are now seeing the first series ever to be released exclusively for free download via torrents.

The show, Pioneer One, is a science fiction story about an object falling from space only to release radiation which spreads all over North America. US Homeland Security, suspecting terrorism , sends agents to investigate and contain the damage. What they discover will have implications for the entire world. Sounds pretty badass to me, especially after Splice left me with a bad taste in my mouth.

One issue with torrents though is that torrents don’t cost anything to use and therefore the studio has to look for less conventional ways of making the money to fund these episodes. This is where we come in, as the show is completely funded by donations and the studio is banking on us liking the show enough to put some money down to see it through. The first episode (pilot) was shot for just $6000 and they are looking for at least $20,000 for the filming of the next three episodes.

While I can’t comment on the quality of the show as I have not yet seen it, it is in my downloads queue and of course, if it is good I will definitely donate to see it through to the end.

If you are interested, you can download it in HD or Xvid HERE

California must really be strapped for cash. In a move to generate some revenue, they state is considering a bill to allow electronic advertisements to be placed on vehicle license plates.

Before your ass gets too puckered, I hear you – what about driver safety, right? Apparently, the ads will only play if a vehicle idles for more than four seconds, or is stopped entirely. The plate number would be visible perpetually in one form or another. That’s… slightly better, I guess.

“The idea is not to turn a motorist’s vehicle into a mobile billboard,” said Senator Curren Price, the guy behind the idea, “but rather to create a platform for motorists to show their support for existing good working organizations.” Conrad Jordan, chief executive of Smart Plate, a company currently experimenting with digital plate technology, added that drivers would be able to customize their plates with their own messages as well – essentially the next evolution of the bumper sticker. The tech could also be used to broadcast important info in an emergency.

Alright, so let’s stop and think about this for a moment. Your license plate is now digital – a screen. What if you’re a criminal? Your license plate is now potentially an easily-hackable device. It can read whatever registration number you want it to, easily slipping under the radar. And what about accidents? What about bad accidents? Your vehicle is suddenly a pain in the ass to identify, because your license screen went out. And what about when your vehicle isn’t on? Does the license plate go out? Does it stay on? Won’t that be bad for your vehicle’s battery in the long run? Won’t that stress you out, knowing that it was the ads that were playing on your minivan while you were in Wal-Mart killed your battery? I know you’re hurting for some revenue, California, but is this really the way to go about it? Granted, Smart Plate hasn’t begun production on a prototype, but they’ve got some really, really big puzzles to figure out before this tech is ready for prime time.

Gear up for the white knuckle thrill ride of the holiday season that will speak to the soul of every man and every woman who’s ever been in love. Or something, I guess? Columbia Pictures has released the official poster and website for The Social Network, Hollywood’s version of the tale of everyone’s favourite ad-targeting service.

The David Fincher (Fight Club) flick will feature Jesse Eisenberg, the ‘poor jewish man’s Michael Cera’ (but with arguably more acting talent) as a young Mark Zuckerberg. It’s been rumoured that this film might even get some Oscar attention.

For real? I mean, the Facebook story is a pretty epic one, and there’s been a ton of drama over the years that’s pretty fun to read about, but will it at all translate into an engaging Hollywood piece? I guess we’ll find out when we all torrent this film. There’s no way I’m paying the current monitary fee to see this. Not unless Apatow wrote the script, and the entire crew does cameos ...

myPad? Build Your Own Tablet for 400 Bucks

2010-06-23T15:04:00.000-07:00

It may not be quite as pretty or compact as the iPad, but open source hardware company Liquidware is selling kits for a $400 build-it-yourself tablet utilizing the Texas Instruments single-board computer BeagleBoard. It all snaps together with relative ease, and the end result, while decidedly Frankensteinian, is sure to turn more heads than Johnny iPad down the street.

To be fair, though, this isn’t exactly targeted at the average consumer – instead, Liquidware hopes to entice the hacker-tinkerer-developer crowd. Says Liquidware’s Justin Huynh: “With the iPad, you would have a hard time hacking it to read from a specialized sensor such as a temperature sensor or add your own custom hardware. The Beagle tablet is all about innovation.” Well thank goodness, it’s about time a tablet developer was thinking forward.

At any rate, this thing’s got a 1Ghz processor, SDHC for space, runs on Angstrom Linux or Android, and has a 3-hour battery life, assuming you’re running a really fancy-pants app.

While you could get the unquestionably-sexier iPad for a few hundred dollars more, honestly, I kinda like the form factor of this thing. You know how pugs are so ugly they’re cute again? Yeah same thing ...

Toshiba Takes Aim at the iPad with the Libretto w100

2010-06-23T14:33:00.000-07:00

Oh dip. This is a sultry unit. Toshiba is celebrating its 25th anniversary by dropping a true iPad killer into the fray.

Billed as a ‘concept product’, a limited quantity of the Libretto W100 are being released into the wild as a test to see if consumers will dig it. Hell, I, for one, dig it. Just look at this thing. With a 62gig SSD, 2gigs of RAM, dual 7-inch screens at 1024×600, Bluetooth, WiMAX, and, perhaps most importantly, Windows-goddamn-7, the Libretto W100 sounds a lot like the future of mobile computing we were all hoping the iPad was going to be. This is a real computer, running real, grown-up software. Exciting stuff. Perhaps the press release puts it best: “This new libretto is yet another showcase of the company’s technological laptop prowess.” They’re still using the word ‘laptop’ – the way it should be. Eyes on the prize, folks.

Tech Soap: The Only Way You’re Scamming a Nerd Into Getting Clean

2010-06-23T14:14:00.000-07:00

You’re a tech geek. You’re dirty from logging 20 hours a day in your bedroom/office/cubicle/basement in front of things with screens. Dude, you need a bath.

Now, I hear your complaints: ‘regular soap is so… un-tech!’ Yeah, I hear that. But last time I attempted to simply blast my naked self with compressed LCD cleaner, it didn’t work so well. An alternative would have to be found.

However, thanks to the dude (or dudette? I suffer from geek gender bias – I admit it and I’m sorry) at Two Eggplants, we can finally scrape away the layers of filth keeping the ladies at bay and enjoy a rich social life, all thanks to Game Boy Soap. That’s right – finally, a soap worthy of contact with your pasty hide.

The amount of detail that’s gone into this tribute to the All father of Portable Tech is just stunning, and somewhat presents a problem: with soap this beautifully-crafted (not to mention expensive ($14.99)), you wouldn’t really want to use it at all, would you? Me, I’m content to stay dirty while my Game Boy soap just chills on my living room shelf collecting dust.

If you still need a nerdy way to get clean/are loyal to another brand, Two Eggplants also offers iPhone (pictured) and Motorola Droid soap.

World's First DNA-Based Logic Gates Could Lead to Injectable Bio-computers

2010-06-23T14:10:00.000-07:00

DNA Using DNA-based logic gates that behave like their electronic equivalent, we could someday engineer complex injectable computers that could monitor and treat our bodies from the inside.

We've got computers that run on a single iodine molecule and transistors made of just a handful of atoms, so why not create electronic components out of tiny strands of DNA? A team of researchers at Hebrew University has for the first time created DNA-based logic gates that could lead to tiny injectable bio-computers capable of making simple calculations inside the body.

Formed from short DNA strands and their complements, the DNA logic gates closely mimic their electronic counterparts by representing one of two states - like the zeros and ones of binary code - depending on the presence of an input. In tests, they modeled a DNA version of an XOR logic gate that generates an output when one of two inputs is present, but not when both or neither is present. By design, the DNA logic gate fluoresced when one of two inputs was present, and accurately stopped fluorescing when both inputs were present.

This kind of reverse biomimicry could have multiple applications, particularly in the realm of drug delivery, possibly even leading to preemptive drugs that live in the body waiting identify and deal with potential problems. Previous attempts at DNA-based computing were too limited to accomplish such a feat, as their DNA strands could be used for a function only once. But the Hebrew University team claims its strands reform after each step.

That means not only that the gates can be used over and over again, but that they can be wired in series, each one creating a new output that serves as the input for the next gate, the basis for complex calculations. The gates would then go back to their usual state, ready to process the next - possibly different - input.

The result could be a new breed of smart drugs that are injected into the body before an injury occurs, waiting to be triggered by enzymes or other catalysts associated with a particular injury or illness. That means - in theory - we might someday be able to create DNA-based computing systems that diagnose and treat common medical problems from within our bodies without our ever knowing it. Crazy world of the future ...

Sharp Unveils 3-D-Shooting Cellphone Camera

2010-06-23T14:03:00.000-07:00

Sharp 3-D HD Camera Module

Today Sharp announced plans that could turn your cellphone into a 3-D-shooting mini film studio as early as next year. The company today unveiled a mobile-phone 3-D camera capable of shooting in high def.

The module captures 720p stereoscopic (two-eyed) video and is only about two inches wide. To put that in perspective: Fuji's 3-D camera uses much larger, heavier sensors and only records standard-def video.

The camera on its own, though, needs help to produce a 3-D image. As with a 3-D TV or Blu-ray player, there needs to be an integrated circuit capable of decoding the stereoscopic signal, converting file formats, and then sending the information to a 3-D-ready display. Oh, yeah, Sharp has one of those, too: the glasses-less kind. In March, the company announced a small-format screen consisting of two stacked LCD screens; the screen on top only displays thin vertical black lines, which block half of the image at a time, so that your right and left eyes only see their own angles. The meshing of the two images is your brain's job.

It's been rumored for a while now that Sharp's screen will be what makes Mario pop on the forthcoming 3-D Nintendo DS.

Solar Waterfall Planned For the 2016 Olympics

2010-06-23T14:02:00.001-07:00

Going green can be beautiful. By the time of the upcoming 2016 Olympics, being held in Rio de Janeiro, a man-made waterfall will be used to power the future Olympic village.

The Swiss architectural office RAFAA is undergoing this unique project named the Solar City Tower. The artificial waterfall will flow down the side of a 105-meter high skyscraper doubling as a hydroelectric power plant for the games. It will house a small power plant that runs on solar energy in order to pump water to the 105-meter height. There will also be a observation deck located on the structure providing a variety of cafes and shops.

Why is it cool? It allows for full iPad functionality in all elements and comes with a handy strap for those who can’t unhook from technology long enough to take a shower.

I can see using this at the beach reading it but I can’t imagine walking in on someone sitting under the showerhead with their iPad in hand. I wonder if this new iPad condom will ship with a voucher for group therapy sessions for those who cannot put their device down.

Japan Plans a Moon Base by 2020, Built by Robots for Robots

2010-06-01T11:26:00.000-07:00

America may have eighty-sixed its moon base ambitions, but the Japanese have no plans to let perfectly good lunar real estate go to waste. An ambitious $2.2 billion project in the works at JAXA, the Japanese space agency, plans to put humanoid robots on the moon by 2015, and now official backing from the Prime Minister's office says the Japanese could have an unmanned lunar base up and running by 2020.

Key to all of this, of course, is the robots themselves, and who better than the Japanese to dream up and realize the kind of intelligent, self-repairing, multitasking bots that will be needed to fulfill such a mission.

As currently envisioned, the robots that will land on the lunar surface in 2015 will be 660-pound behemoths equipped with rolling tank-like treads, solar panels, seismographs, high-def cameras and a smattering of scientific instruments. They'll also have human-like arms for collecting rock samples that will be returned to Earth via rocket. The robots will be controlled from Earth, but they'll also be imbued with their own kind of machine intelligence, making decisions on their own and operating with a high degree of autonomy.

Those initial surveyor bots will pave the way for the construction of the unmanned moon base near the lunar south pole, which the robots will construct for themselves. That base will be solar powered and provide a working/living space future robot colonizers, as well as -- presumably -- a jumping off point for future human moon dwellers.

Sound far-fetched? It's certainly an ambitious project given the timeline. But considering Americans put actual men on the moon in a decade span with far inferior technology it certainly seems within the realm of possibility. Moreover, the massive technological fallout from that initial push for the moon was a boon for private industry, seeding some important and amazing technological breakthroughs. Even if Japan falls short of its 2020 deadline, the advances in robotics technology that could fall out of this little project could be as exciting as the moon base itself.

BRAIN-Station 3

Yet another example of your tax dollars at work, the U.S. Air Force conducted testing by linking 2,000 PlayStation 3 consoles to create a supercomputer, and not meant, apparently, to run the world's largest Modern Warfare 2 multiplayer session. The military's news publication "Stars and Stripes" (which by the way sounds a lot like Captain America), reports the Air Force plans to put the PS3's to work performing various studies. One of these studies centers on neuromophic (as in evolving brain) computing which, according to the Stripes, "mimics human nervous systems." Mark Barnell, the lab's high performance computing director, is quoted saying: "In general sense, we are interested in making [the supercomputer] autonomous." The answer is yes by the way, to the question that this project is funded by a 2 million dollar grant... So let's do some word replacement shall we... Let's change "Air Force" to "Cyberdine Systems", how about "Mark Barnell" to "Miles Bennett Dyson", and "2,000 PS3's" to oh what the hell, let's just call that "Skynet" ...

Sony's Unvails Bloggie @ CES

2010-01-19T19:13:00.001-08:00

Nearly every camera maker has their own Flip-style pocket camcorder, and by and larger they're all the same. Sony's Bloggie, though, ups the stakes, becoming the first consumer camcorder to record full, 360-degree panoramic footage. In the box with the Bloggie is a small lens accessory which snaps onto the existing lens, which itself swivels 270 degrees. The accessory then allows the camera to record all its surroundings while remaining completely stationary. The structure of the lens is remarkably simple: it's just an upward-facing deep fisheye, which allows it to reflect and record all the surrounding angles at once. On the camera's 2.4-inch LCD, the footage appears as a ring. With the bundled computer software, however, you can unwrap imported video into a straight 360-degree panoramic shot--or keep it in donut form, if you like. The Bloggie records high-def video at either full 1080p or 720p and captures five-megapixel stills. It supports both SD cards and Memory Stick. The Bloggie MHS-PM5K with lens accessory kit is available now for $190.

Saber Flag 2010

2010-01-17T19:54:00.000-08:00

Why is it that whenever graffiti is brought into the mainstream forefront there is always some politician that has a problem with it. Even abstract art from way back in Picasso's day was seen this way until somebody saw it as true art. Artist Saber decided to produce his take on the American flag; designing atop the stars and stripes, Saber created a series of flag murals, each unique, with designs based on what The United States means to him as well as things unrelated, that are nevertheless personal to him. The flag series was captured on video and became a finalist in a state wide campaign for health care reform, a project much supported by Saber and many other artist as well. Print versions of the flag were available to purchase here, but all may be sold out already. Check out this video for further information on the whole project entitled: "Flag, 2010".

World United

2010-01-17T19:13:00.000-08:00

There are many things to say in the midst of all the tragedy that has come about in 2009, and
now leading up to the biggest story thus far in Haiti. The one thing that we can all agree on is that through all the road blocks placed in our path, it has brought us all together in one unified cause. It just really unfortunate that only in devastation do we come together and set aside our differences.

Being a Miami based company we have many ties to the Haitian community and as they have shown a great deal of support to us, we support them as well. We'd like to hope that when all the dust settles, that not just Miami, but the entire U.S. can grow as a unified people.. If you would like to donate to the cause and find out what you can do to help, visit the Red Cross at:

Automated Air Traffic Control System Enables Fewer Pilots, Flying Cars

2010-01-10T20:15:00.001-08:00

For the FAA, it's not the flying that keeps regular joes out of the sky. It's the landing and the navigating. Dealing with air traffic control is so attention consuming and complex that large planes require multiple crewmen, and single-pilot planes have significant restrictions and where and when they can fly. However, a new flight management system (FMS) created by GE may automate so much of the navigation and landing that commercial flights could use only a single pilot, and the rest of us could get cleared to use flying cars. The system, originally developed to operate military UAVs, recently began trials in the US. In the tests, GE operators give flight control instructions to the pilot, who then inputs the instructions into a computer, rather than adjusting the flight of the plane with joysticks and throttles. So far, the computer controlled plane has navigated air traffic situations more deftly than a human pilot could ever manage. Eventually, air traffic controllers on the ground will input the instructions directly into the computer, freeing the pilot of nearly every task other than keeping the plane level and on time.With so many difficult aspects of flying relegated to the computer, the skills needed to pilot an aircraft drop significantly. With fewer, and less difficult, tasks needed for flight, this FMS could lower the bar for safe flying to the point where it would require no more training than teenagers currently undergo in drivers ed.

Forget the Flying Car: Here Comes The Flying Motorcycle

2010-01-10T20:13:00.001-08:00

How to build a commercially viable flying car: first, make it a motorcycle. The idea of creating a personal transportation craft that can both take to the skies and travel along the ground has been alive as long as science fiction. But meeting both the FAA's regulations for aircraft while simultaneously meeting the National Highway Transportation Safety Administration's guidelines for automobiles means compromises on both sides. Enter the Switchblade, a flying motorcycle that Northern California engineering firm Samson Motorworks hopes to have on the road and in the sky by next year. The company chose a three-wheel design for the Switchblade to meet the criteria for a motorcycle rather than a car, thus side-stepping some automobile regulations, like the inclusion of bumpers, that add weight and reduce aerodynamics. The Switchblade still retains some car-like features -- occupants sit side-by-side in an enclosed climate-controlled cab, for instance -- but the long nose and canard is more rocket or drag bike than modern sedan. Where it couldn't dodge regulatory hurdles, Samson engineers have met them head-on, installing rearview mirrors that retract during flight to reduce drag and devising wings that scissor open during flight mode but stow away in contained, protective underbelly compartments during ground transit. Other companies are racing their own ground-to-air personal transportation craft to market as well, most notably Terrafugia's Transition flying car (or "roadable aircraft"), a four-wheeled, folding-wing vehicle designed to fit in a standard garage. But while the Transition is designed to hit all those NHTSA safety requirements that make it as safe on the road as your family sedan -- bumpers, extensive crash testing, a stable four-point wheel base, etc. -- its high six-figure price tag makes purchasing one wishful thinking for many. Samson aims to have a $60,000, DIY kit to market as early as 2011, though a 120-150 horsepower engine and avionics will retail separately for about $25,000, all said. The skeptics in us think there's a very slim chance they'll hit that deadline; after all, we've seen a lot of pie-in-the-sky personal flying craft ideas come across our desks, but we have yet to see any cruise past our office windows. Still, that doesn't mean we're not anxiously awaiting the day that we do.

Discovery, ESPN Planning 24-Hour 3-D TV Channels

2010-01-10T20:10:00.001-08:00

The announcement marks the tip of the iceberg for what will be a 3-D-centric week in electronics and entertainment. Let the 3-D deluge begin! The New York Times reports today that Discovery is partnering with Imax and Sony to create an all 3-D all the time HDTV station in 2011. The partnership is due to be announced officially this week at CES, which we'll be covering live starting tomorrow. I'm going to start calling it 3-D-E-S from this moment forward. If you've been noticing quite a bit of 3-D hype and hubbub lately--it's no accident. The major entertainment companies are now scrambling to get a jump on what has been selected as the next big thing in movies and TV. The timing of James Cameron's Avatar--the most advanced 3-D film yet--is not a coincidence; just as everyone who saw the film over the holidays is coming down from their three-dimensional high, wishing they were still in Pandora, a 3-D carrot will be dangled in front of all of our noses this week at CES, where every major manufacturer is expected to roll out HDTVs, Blu-ray players and other 3-D-supporting gear that promise to bring a similar experience into our living rooms. In addition to Discovery's 24-hour 3-D venture (3-D Shark Week is probably all I have to say), ESPN has recently announced plans to start "ESPN 3-D" in June of this year which will show "a minimum of 85 live 3-D events" according to the Times and USA Today.Does it feel oddly like the 1950s to anyone else?

Cartier ID One Concept Watch

2010-01-10T19:48:00.000-08:00

The ID One Concept watch takes a Ballon Bleu shaped case, makes it 46mm wide and constructs it out of a spacey sounding material called Niobium Titanium. It is apparently a special titanium alloy (which is itself an alloy) that is even harder and more wear resistant that titanium. It also apparently has other special (magical) properties. The whole point of the in-house made automatic tourbillon movement was to require as little service and regulation as possible.
