I was recently directed to look at the DiskGO Secure GUARDIAN Flash Drive from EDGE Tech. It actually looks like a pretty sweet product. The two key features that they promote about it are it’s durability as well as the hardware based 256-bit AES encryption. Not bad for up to an 8 [...]

A friend of mine recently posted a link to the “Bread Breaker Dual-Fuel Hybrid Grill“, a very expensive barbecue which allows you grill over a variety of flame types (wood, charcoal or gas) and even combine flames for unique smoky flavors. On looking at it though, the barbecue seems to lack a certain visual [...]

So I think I’ve found the next car I’d like to buy for commuting purposes. The MDI Air Car runs completely on compressed air, and can be driven up to 200-300 KM’s on a single tank of air. It has no pollution, and in fact uses some of the air from the exhaust [...]

The University of Alberta is working to develop what they hope will be a cheap and simple cure for cancer. Apparently, a simple molecule called dichloroacetate or DCA (pictured above) is currently being tested as a treatment to shrink cancerous tumours. According to research done by a 1930 biochemist named Otto Warburg, [...]

This is WAY too cool not to write about. It would seem that the geeky owner of this Honda Del Sol has converted his entire car to look like a StarWars X-Wing starfighter. Except for the lack of wings, it looks pretty decent … not that I would ever drive such a thing…. [...]

Pictured on the right, the Core fuel cell is completely detachable from the bike, and is intended for use in multiple applications [...]

A science team in Massachusetts has developed a brain sensor called a Neuromotor Prosthesis, which has allowed a paralyzed man to open email, play computer games and manipulate a prosthetic hand, simply by using his mind.
According to the article on BBC Mathew Nagle, the man on whom the device was tested, has been paralyzed from [...]

The GumStix NetStix is one seriously small computer. Measuring a mere 1×5 inches, the machine has a 400MHz Intel processor, 64 Megs of internal memory and a CompactFlash slot for expanding the memory. The coolest part? It’s Linux based.
Unfortunately, I couldn’t find much more info on this thing, so I’m not sure [...]

Scientists at Duke University in North Carolina have just unveiled the worlds first real cloaking device. Right now the cloak only works with microwave light, but will actually distort the light around the object to be cloaked, that when the cloaking device is turned on the object would almost completely disappear. Ulf Leonhardt is a [...]
