Design Only: Roll-up Frying Pan

This Sam Hextall designed Scroll Pan works the same as a frying pan, but stores easily in a cupboard when rolled up. The cooking surface is supposed to be diphenyl silicone (plasma treated and Teflon coated), which makes it heatproof and flexible. Unless there’s a locking mechanism, we’re not sure what would keep the pan…

Lenovo Snakey Webcam Sees Every Angle

Overclocked Intel Core 2 Duo E6400 Dusts Core 2 Extreme X6800

While they didn’t quite fry an egg over their CPU, the brainy folks over at Toms Hardware did manage to overclock a lowly Intel Core 2 Duo E6400 up to 3.1GHz (from its base 2.13GHz) using only the stock cooler provided by Intel. Further tweaking got the E6400 up as high as 3.3GHz (with the…
