Winter can be pretty sucky as your clothes will have a hard time drying out on a clothesline unlike in summer, but good thing there’s this thing known as dryers (which consume a whole lot of juice, obviously, but that’s the price to pay if you don’t want to wear soggy underwear for the entire winter season). Well, there is nothing quite like a little bit of improvisation in the form of the Electrical [...]

Mitsubishi unveils massive 149-inch OLED display

Posted by David on January 29, 2010 · 0 Comment

I like the idea behind OLED TVs with better colors, thinner profiles, and less power needed to run the things. I am not a big fan of the massive price premium that is placed on most OLED sets right now. We have for the most part only seen smaller screen OLED displays on the market, but that is changing. Mitsubishi has unveiled the gigantic 149-inch prototype OLED display at ISE-2010 in Amsterdam. [...]

The latest version of the iPhone SDK, version 3.2, is bringing VoIP calls over 3G.

The Cube Concept Car

Posted by David on January 28, 2010 · 0 Comment

This isn’t the first time that we have reported on concept automobiles of the future. Most of them aren’t really what comes to mind when we think of a car, as they tend to be small one-manned drones. The Cube is nothing different, but I admire Carlos Mendez’s vision for cars. Mendez noticed that most cars are way too large and heavy compared to their driver, so he set out to create a “vehicle [...]

I’m talking about every time someone makes a baby’s head and puts it on something like a doll, or in this case, a robot. This is Diego-san, a four-foot tall robot with the head of a baby.

2C Solar-Powered Baseball Cap

Posted by David on January 28, 2010 · 0 Comment
