DARPA Unveils Details About the Mach 6 Vulcan Engine
How does one design a propulsion system that combines a full-scale turbine engine and a Constant Volume Combustion (CVC) engine that is capable of delivering 12,000 pounds of payload up to 9,000 nautical miles from the continental United States in less than two hours? DARPA has released new details on how they plan on tackling this issue with their Vulcan engine—a ramjet / scramjet hybrid that will take an aircraft like the Falcon HTV-3X from 0 to Mach 4 with a traditional turbine engine, then kick in the CVC to push it to Mach 6 and beyond.

Powernic Massager: Robotic Shiatsu Claw with a Vulcan Grip
It looks like a prop from the latest Dr. Who series, it clamps down with the deliberateness of a Vulcan, and it feels... well... not too bad. The Powernic finger-pressure massager is a pretty serious apparatus, and in the wrong hands it could probably do quite a bit of damage. Good thing there's a touch-sensitive manual override on the side. The little vibrating LED capsule can be used by itself, if you're into that. As you can see in the vid, I favored the full-on claw.

OQO2 Vs. Flipstart: Live MiniPC Sizemodo and Grope
You've seen both the OQO2 and the Flipstart, but when I loosed both of these little palm-top computers in the same room, it was a moment reminiscent of fighting cocks entering the ring, Superman facing Lex, Hiro meeting Sylar, Ken giving Ryu the Shuryuken...you get the idea. More »

Sizemodo: Vulcan FlipStart vs. a BlackBerry
It's hard to judge how big the FlipStart is even with a gallery with shots of it next to Brian's hand (he has dwarf-like appendages, in case you were wondering). So here's the UMPC-like device next to the businessman's favorite love/hate gadget, the BlackBerry. More »

Many of you whippersnappers won't even know what we're talking about when we mention the FlipStart, a piece of vaporware from the distant past (this nonsense started all the way back in 2003) when ultra-mobile PCs (UMPC) were just a glimmer in the eyes of their creators.
