Dolphin Hydrofoil is the Jet Ski of the Future
I can remember going to the lake in my younger days when there were some of the personal watercraft on the lake that lifted out of the water and rode around on a ski. I presume those were literally the jet skis that spawned the term that has become a bit of a catch [...]
LG’s 31-inch OLED prototype to slice through IFA
OLED’s failure to do anything for the mainstream so far outside of phone and camera displays is only bittersweet: sure, we don’t have millimeter thick TVs yet, but LCD has gotten slim enough that it hardly matters. So, in keeping with tradition, LG has stolen its own OLED thunder today. In line with earlier [...]
iBottleopener for your iPhone
Cases offer to protect gadgets, but they should do more than that. After all, some cellphones can double as a flashlight, an MP3 player and even their own miniature computer. It would seem that putting a case that can only do one function on such a versatile gadget is just wrong. [...]
Artist Theo Kamecke’s Circuit Board Furniture Has Incredible Wow Factor
Rather than consign tech and e-waste to places like Nigeria or China, electronic junk can be better used for furniture as lovingly exhibited in the Egyptian-themed chests, cabinets and sculptures of Theo Kamecke.

Presenting The WaveBox – Because Every Camper Needs A Microwave
When I think of camping, I imagine pitching a tent somewhere in the middle of nowhere and cooking food over an open fire. Of course, some people have a vastly different idea about camping. I’m talking about the people who pull up in a Winnebago with a stocked fridge, and hoist an antennae so [...]
AIST’s i3Space tactile 3D interface: destroyer of (virtual) worlds
Japan’s National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology (AIST, to friends) is responsible for a good many innovations that the denizens of the year 2030 take for granted, and the new i³Space certainly won’t tarnish the institute’s record. Built on the foundation of AIST’s own GyroCubeSensuous for tactile feedback, the i³Space tracks the [...]
Lamborghini dishes out a Reventon you can actually afford: a 1:10 scale RC car
At long last even us plebeian supercar lovers can afford to say we own a Lambo. And we wouldn’t even be lying if we claimed it had an internal combustion engine (3cc, vroom vroom!), hydraulic shock absorbers, disc brakes, or permanent all-wheel drive. Such must have been the stringent requirements handed down from Lamborghini [...]
