The World’s Smallest, Potentially Seediest GPS, GSM and RF Tracker

It looks like a nondescript battery, but this is actually the world’s smallest GPS, GSM and RF tracking device. The recently released CATS.i measures just 45mm x 35mm x 12mm, and makers say it can be used to track cars, pets and even people. Given that they also claim this is the “most covert” tracking…

Despite Fierce Competition, RIM Manages 33% Profit Increase

It’s been a while since a BlackBerry handset really stole the spotlight, with the new—and by all counts nice—BlackBerry Tour getting trampled underfoot by this month’s Palm and Apple news extravaganza. But appearances don’t do this situation justice: RIM is doing very well, reporting a 33% jump in Q2 profit over last year, fueled almost…

Minifit XL Laptop Stand Chills Your Computer’s Hot Spots With Movable Fan

Samsung’s Animated, Flexible OLED Passport Shown On Video

Announced last year, this technology sounded more than a little bit pie-in-the-sky. A flexible OLED passport? With video capabilities? And it’s powered wirelessly? Yet here it is, captured in full sight, on video. And I’ll be damned if it doesn’t work perfectly. Alongside a static picture, this e-passport displays a rotating photographic avatar when placed…

MovieIQ For BD-Live Displays Online Movie Info In Real Time, Encourages Insufferable Film Geekery

From September, all new Sony Pictures Blu-ray discs will support MovieIQ, a service which grabs IMDB-esque data from the Internet to show during playback. How BD-Live hadn’t already been used to do something like this, I have no idea. MovieIQ pulls everything from cast lists and crew info to soundtrack data and production trivia from…

Sony Vaio NW Is A Blu-ray-Toting $880 Notebook

Sony has just trotted out the Vaio NW, their new line of Blu-ray equipped, mid-market notebooks, and at 1.2-inches, they are quite slim too. The NW features a 15.5-inch widescreen display (albeit 1366×768), along with a HDMI output connector for plugging it into a TV, so you can enjoy the full 1080p goodness of your…

Wireless Resonating Power from Intel Research

Intel researchers are working on wireless power that doesn’t use a conductive pad. Instead, it uses magnets and a tuned directional transfer coil to send music from an iPod a couple of feet to a speaker. Saw it. It works! https://gizmodo.com/intel-says-theyve-taken-a-huge-leap-in-wireless-power-t-5039871 This setup is deceptively simple. There’s an electro-magnetized ring of wire sending 1-watt signal…

Court Orders File-Sharer to Pay $80,000 Per Song to RIAA

A delusional Minnesota court has ordered Jammie Thomas, wanton criminal Kazaa user, to pay a total of $1.92 million for sharing 24 songs. As my own little protest, I’m going to illegally download Metallica’s entire discography. And I hate Metallica. The decision has taken a ton of twists and turns—even after the jury had decided…

Pentagon’s New “Suburb Warrior” UAVs Promise to Try to Kill Slightly Fewer Civilians

The Pentagon’s current crop of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) are insanely powerful—the “Hellfire” is so named for a reason—but also fairly imprecise, often killing innocent, nearby civilians. The DoD’s new UAVs hope to cut down on such casualties. In a recent briefing, the Department of Defense laid out its new plans: Smaller and far more…

NASA Rocket to Crash Into the Moon’s Crust In Search for Water

NASA launched a lunar satellite into orbit today, which will fire a rocket booster at 5,600 MPH into a Moon crater, causing a six-mile-high explosion. They hope to find water in the Moon’s south pole. But I find this deeply disturbing. You savages may be all excited that they want the Lunar Crater Observation and…

Code-X Yacht Will Have Two Kinds of Power: Super Clean and Oh So Dirty

There’s a real company promoting a not-so-real poweryacht called the Code-X. The differentiator—or “thing that’s supposed to land a billionaire customer”—is that the boat will have two Formula 1 engines and two solar-powered electric ones. It’s not abundantly clear when you’d use the as-yet-unannounced electric engines, or exactly how efficiently the onboard solar panels will…
