200MPH Nitro-Powered RC Car Opens Time-Space Portal

So, this is what 200 miles per hour looks like on a small scale. And what this RC-controlled car sounds like is a gazillion very angry bees all chasing after Michael Caine. Powered by nitromethane, the car is attached via cable to a pole situated in the middle of a circular track. Round and round the car goes, getting faster and faster, until it reaches 200mph—and the buzz reaches such a pitch that you think the bees are after you. Awesome. [Jalopnik]

Local Broadcasters Want Mobile Standard: Free TV on Phones and Handhelds (With Ads, That Is)

The good news: A coalition of 800 local TV stations are lobbying to get a mobile TV standard approved by the ATSC.

LG MPH TV-Everywhere Coming to North America in 2009

LG says its MPH in-band mobile digital television system will be relatively easy for broadcasters to implement into their existing transmitters, and claims that 800 of the US broadcasters are on board for 2009. At today's press event, company officials said US consumers will be interested in receiving the mobile DTV for weather, news and sports updates. If all 800 TV stations actualy begin broadcasting this "robust" format, you'll be able to watch crappy local news on cellphones (see one after the jump), personal DTVs (shown above) and laptop PCs everywhere you go, haunting you like a malodorous ghost. Good luck with that. Check out the press release with the details:
