Kevin Scott must have lost a few bicycles to drive him in inventing such ingenious concept design. Introducing the bendable bicycle, this won Kevin the New Designers award, and the handsome £500 that comes with it at the exhibition in London last week. The idea is to protect your bicycle by just bending it around a post and thread you U-lock through the whole kit at once. Kevin is now scouting for partners to mass produce this marvelous concept. But then I wonder how rigid this bicycle is, seeing that the top tube and down tube of the main frame is flexible, which makes the bicycle not sturdy for hardcore cycling.
Their World Cup’s squad might not score a goal, but not for Argentinean “researcher” Ch Russo, who hacked The Pirate Bay, and acquired a massive four million of usernames, email addresses and IP addresses.
It was big news when Google back out from China due to the latter’s Internet censorship that got the global Internet mammoth annoying, and pack it things and leave town. (well not really leaving, but limited connectivity) But now, Google has confirmed that China has renewed it’s ICP license. [Note: ICP license is a license to host its own domain in China.] This clearly shows that the two big guys had a good chat and cleared some things down, somehow. Now that Google’s back in business, things will be a bit more interesting for China’s Netizens.
Doesn’t mean much to end users, but this is still a big news, to me at least. NTP is a small technology company with a portfolio of dozen of patents. This including wireless email technology that harvested them a $612 million settlement out of RIM in 2006 after couple of years of litigation on court. Well the company is ready to set cruise control for a sweet ride over to the court again, as it’s suing nearly everyone from Silicon Valley, and around. Apple, Google, Microsoft, HTC, LG, and Motorola is getting sued for the same wireless email technology patent that cost RIM over half a billion dollars. That’s a huge load of money, and they’re getting ready to times it by a half a dozen at least.
Why? Because it’s dangerous! That’s why! It’s already a crime to talk on the phone while driving, and that’s when your eyes are still on the road. What about texting while driving? That’s worse, as you need to focus on the phone’s screen while texting, leaving you prone to danger as you do not know what’s going on the road. Pretty dangerous, and it’s banned in a few places in this cute world already. Ford has come to your assist when they heard about the ban, and is already working with RIM to sync all Blackberries to the car through Bluetooth. So, the car’s gonna read out loud the SMS that you receive, to you, and anyone else in the car. Hope your buddies don’t simply send any sms when your gals’ in the car.
This comes as a surprise, when Taiwanese site Apple.pro posted up some shots of a tiny display labeled with Apple, and looks like a multitouch display panel. Guys, don’t be fooled by the photo, this thing is real tiny! I mean real! Measuring just 3cm x 3cm, with the looks that it’s ready to support multitouch gestures. Upcoming iPod nano stuff perhaps? A new toy for Team Rocket to blast off? Or maybe Steve Jobs’s Power Ranger dream watch? Haha! Hey, he ‘might’ just be a member of the Power Ranger team.
The Renault Dezir Concept is the new design direction of Renault’s future cars. It resembles the Audi E-tron concept with the side air-intake design. The front however, looks similar of the Corvette, though abit shorter.
YouTube officially announced support for videos shot in 4k over at VidCon 2010 conference. Er… what’s 4k? 4k refers to a resolution of 4096 x 3072. This is the standard resolution used in professional video recording, before getting it recorded. That’s why it’s called ‘Original’ size for videos. Kinda like raw in photography.
Eye implants, the name is enough to give me goose bumps. I was never fit to be a doctor, and I can see that myself. Scientific medical terms are enough to scare the hell out of me. But then, this telescopic eye implant is obviously done in the name of science, and for the older generations. Read more…
Like I always say, technology has vastly helped us puny humans to cope up and achieve great things that used to be unthinkable. But technology has also made us lazier by the day. This is a sound proof of the latter. Willow Garage, some drunken group that must be nerdy with a beer belly, had come up with a robot, PR2, which can serve four pints of beers at a time.
