Eagle With Prosthetic Beak Will Be Better, Stronger, Faster

In much the same way that science came to the rescue for a tail-less dolphin, a very dedicated group of volunteers is working hard to develop a robo-beak for one unfortunate eagle. "Beauty" was the victim of a hunter's bullet a number of years ago, leaving her unable to clutch or tear at food. Over the course of the last two years, a crack team composed of mechanical engineers, dentists, and veterinarians has been assembled to design and attach a lightweight nylon-composite beak formed using molds made from computer models.

Ladies' Facial Shaver Makes me Say "Whoaaa"

This, my friends, is National's Ferie facial shaver for ladies, available on Amazon Japan for around $30 bucks. It's got two interchangeable blades, one for trimming your eyebrows, the other for "downy hair" (as opposed to "uppy hair," I guess.) I don't see anything wrong with a quick pluck, so this is not one for me &mdash although I can think of some alternative uses for it: More »

Technology Review Nominates its Objects of Desire: Gizmodo says 'Phwoar!'

Technology Review has rounded up a bunch of objects that it feels are design classics from the past 30 or so years and got a bunch of industrial designers to talk about them. And you've gotta admit they're right—on some of the candidates, at least. First up is the Polaroid SX-70, which dates back to 1972. More »

Vanity Mirror Has Zoom Button, Still Doesn't Make You Attractive

The Power Zoom Vanity Mirror does just that—zooms. I'm not a nuclear engineer, so I have no idea how it works, but this mirror is capable of zooming up to five times with the push of a button. The mirror itself is five inches in diameter and operates off of AA batteries. If you weren't self conscious about your looks before, this could surely do the trick (for $50). – Travis Hudson More »

Chinese Beauty Robot Needs More Beauty

Rong Cheng, the Chinese "beauty robot" created by the Institute of Automation of Chinese Academy of Sciences in Beijing, can do a lot of things. She can greet people in many Chinese dialects, she can respond to nearly 1,000 words, and she can even dance or bow. What she can't do, much like the Korean Ever-1 Android, is win any beauty contests. More »
