TecheBlog has posted some some super expensive gadgets which "probably shouldn't have been made". My favourite one is the $765 2Gb USB drive, it is shiny. "At $310,000, the Vertu Signature “Cobra” is encrusted with “precious gemstones — one pear-cut diamond, one round white diamond two emerald eyes and 439 rubies.""
A real flying car is in the works designed for saving people from burning high-rises or rescuing soldiers. The current prototype can fly around a meter off the ground and future versions are planned to be marketed by 2010. "X-Hawk and its smaller version, Mule, might one day offer the same capabilities as helicopters, but without the serious operating limitations -- like exposed rotors -- that helicopters face in urban terrain."
Lifehack has posted a page explaining Linux virtualisation within Windows using the free version of VMWare. "There are many reasons people are hesitant to try Linux. The biggest of these reasons is that installing Linux generally requires people to do a list of difficult and unfamiliar tasks. However, I am going to introduce “virtualization” which is a fancy term for running Linux like any other program in Windows."
A poll conducted by the website ReadWrite Web has concluded that 55% of voters regularly or always fake their identity online. "After 511 votes so far, an astonishing 55% of respondents say they regularly or always use fake Web identities. Just 12% of people said they always use their real identity."
DailyTech has posted a workaround for a clean Vista install using the upgrade disc. "This workaround allows users to perform a “clean install.” The process is a bit tedious, but is not hard at all to complete. Users have to perform these simple steps to perform a clean install of Vista without a previous version of Windows installed with an upgrade DVD"
Mark has sent in Midomi which supposedly can use your voice to track down music that you like. "Midomi.com makes it fun and easy to find and discover music and people. For the first time, you can use your voice to instantly connect to your favourite music, and to a community of people that share your musical interests. Listen to voices, see pictures, rate singers, send messages, buy music, and more."
Here is a funny video of some students playing a prank with a dismantled stove and a man inside. Here is another funny video inspired by the documentry film "Super Size Me". It is entitled "Super Size Me - With Whiskey" - hilarity ensues.
