  • On F-35B STOVL: The World's First Supersonic Jump Jet at 11/16 6:43pm
    I'd have to call it CGI for the takeoff and landing sections - it was way too smooth and the lighting looked too much like something from the movies.
  • On Ultra Strong BEAR Robot is Capable of Lifting 500-Pounds at 08/24 9:42pm
    Holy Cow! Anyone else having flashbacks to those prototype tracked Terminators in T3?
  • On Leaked Video of Apple Tablet at 08/12 9:56pm
    You gotta call this one a fake. Why did the person recording the video try so hard to keep the camera away from the edge of the device? Clearly to stop us from seeing that it's simply not an Apple designed product, but simply a touch screen device from someone else. And take a very close look at the effect his finger has against the screen when he presses the 'Notes' button near the start of the video - it's a soft LCD screen - not a glass screen - you can see the ripples, just like when you press against your notebook screen. F A K E . Still, I'm hoping that Apple do produce something like this, with a big enough screen to make it a worthwhile device for playing Apps and watching video.
  • On iSaw: The World's First USB-Powered Chainsaw at 07/07 11:16pm
    Definitely fake - there's no USB cord sticking out of the iSaw when the girl is using it, but I'm curious to know what this tease will lead to (oh dear, an un/intentional power lead pun)
  • On Incredible iPhone 3G S Time Lapse Footage at 07/06 10:38pm
    "The quality is so good that I figured the reflection you can see in the clip revealed that the footage was phone - a mere camera aimed at a TV screen" Really? My first thought was that it was a reflection of the iPhone in the window that the camera was set up behind. Over 1400 images taken every 30 seconds adds up to the camera being set up in the same place for over 11 hours. I doubt anyone would have left their iPhone set up outside in the elements for that amount of time. Add to that the lack of camera movement that would have been caused by wind, etc, it's clear to me it was set up inside a building and in front of a window, or perhaps a vehicle.

    He got into that water pretty easily, but notice that we don't actually see him managing to get out before the video finishes... hmmmm... Also steering seems to be pretty lame - relying on the angle of the front wheels pushing against the water. Perhaps he should consider counter-rotating rear wheels so he can have better directional control.
  • On USB-Powered Microwave is World's Smallest at 06/09 01:14am
    It uses Mobile Phone Radio Frequencies to cook the beans? Umm... the same frequencies I use when I put my phone up to my ears? Why don't I just put some cold beans into my mouth and then make a mobile call?
  • On NEC CRV43 Curved Monitor to be Released Soon, Priced at $7,999 at 06/04 01:16am
    For $7,999 I would not be expecting to see the joins between the 4 DLPs. Pretty disappointing.

    NEVER trust someone who wears sunglasses indoors. ESPECIALLY in a room that doesn't even have any windows...
