Iran Tests Long Distance Missile Capable of Reaching Europe

You know it’s going to be one of those Mondays when Iranian nutters claim that they successfully tested the Shahab-3—their first multi-stage missile, capable of reaching Europe. Even worse: The multi-stage opens the door for Inter-Continental Ballistic Missiles. At least, that’s what the theory is. Iran says that the missile can reach 2000km, which is…

Panasonic’s 50-inch 1080p 3D Plasma on Track for 2010

When we put on active shutter-glasses and tried Panasonic’s 103-inch 3D Plasma concept, we liked that the image flickered less than competing 3D systems from Sony and JVC. Now Panasonic has a 50-inch prototype, and hopes to sell it next-year. https://gizmodo.com/3d-hits-home-snap-judgments-on-3-different-technologie-5357383 The more-affordable design benefits from lessons learned with the first concept, and new PDP…

LRAD Sound Cannon Used on Pittsburgh G20 Protesters

I guess military tech always finds its way home.
