"Paralyzed people and amputees could soon stand tall with a Segway-type personal vehicle that would allow them to go anywhere a wheelchair can go. The Chariot is being developed by Exomovere Holdings who hopes that the vehicle would be a direct competitor of scooters and wheelchairs marketed toward elderly, disabled and obese people. More importantly, it’s like a pair of wheeled cybernetic legs that snap on over your own legs, which is pretty rad. Like a Segway, the Chariot uses directional Read more [...]

"On the one hand, mobile devices release us from being tethered to one place. For instance, one no longer needs to be connected to a modem to browse the web, thanks to smartphones that are Wi-Fi enabled. On the other, such mobility is of no use if one does not have mobile facilities for charging the devices. Mobile chargers are common, but what if you were on a trek through the Amazon and the battery in your device ran out of charge? If you are willing to pay around $300 (£200), you may not Read more [...]

DLNA TUTORIAL It wasn't too long ago that the only way to get movies, music and photos from your computer to your TV was to shell out $2,000 on a home media centre PC. Then came networked PVRs, media-playing games consoles and, lately, TVs and Blu-ray players that can plug into your network and play content without any intervention on your part. Indeed, today's consumer electronics devices offer more flexibility when it comes to computer content than ever before – and it's all possible thanks Read more [...]

This has to be one of the coolest gadget/elevator a car enthusiast can have for their prized possession. I don’t really consider it a garage it’s more of an elegant looking lift to say the least but it gets custom built into your driveway and it can hold a car on top of the lift and a car on the bottom of the lift, to get a better picture of what were saying when the lift is down and a car is parked on the lift it will raise in the air to allow accessibility to the car at the bottom. This is Read more [...]

"Still life paintings have been an artist favorite for plenty of centuries, and if done well they can be truly remarkable. But even if you really love art, looking at bowl after bowl of fruit can get a little boring. Artist Scott Garner got bored of those fruit bowls and decided to do something way more interesting with still life: make it less still. Using a flat-screen motion-sensitive display attached to a rotating mount, Garner turned this simple painting into a truly interactive work Read more [...]

"As per a report by The Telegraph, Bill Gates wrote Steve Jobs a letter, Steve Jobs valued the letter so much that he kept the letter by his bed as he was dying. Not much details about the content of the letter has been disclosed but Gates did say  ”I told Steve about how he should feel great about what he had done and the company he had built. I wrote about his kids, whom I had got to know.” He also added: “There was no peace to make. We were not at war. We made great products, and Read more [...]

"Solar energy can be considered “green” energy in the sense that it’s readily available and that it doesn’t release pollutants to be generated. Solar cells and batteries aren’t exactly new technology. There are already a lot of released products and gadgets where the sun is their major (and sometimes, only) power source. However, the idea of putting your device under the heat of the sweltering sun isn’t very appealing because it might overheat and end up getting fried if you don’t Read more [...]

"Want to have a pet but none of the responsibilities that go along with it? I just use my imagination, but if you want something more concrete you can get an electronic goldfish in a bowl. You don’t need to feed it, clean its home or worry that your kids will get attached to it and then be horribly depressed when it dies. The only thing you’ll have to worry about is explaining to your kids why you didn’t get a real fish instead. You don’t have to feed the electronic goldfish, but you’ll Read more [...]

"While you can still use Windows 8 without a touchscreen, the whole Metro UI experience isn’t as good navigating with a mouse and keyboard. So it would be nice to have a touchscreen tablet to try it out and get a real feel for Windows 8. Well you can actually build your very own Windows 8 tablet if you like, all you’ll need is a touchscreen and an old laptop that you don’t mind taking apart! Over at instructables some fella has posted about how he went about making his very own tablet so Read more [...]

The massive controller measures approximately 12ft (w) x 5 ft (d) 3 in x 1ft 8 in (h), and weighs in at a whopping 265 pounds. It was built by Ben Allen, along with Stephen van ‘t Hof and Michel Verhulst. The controller cost over $6,000 (USD) to construct, and yes – it does play games. The thing is so big that it takes at least two people to play a game with it, as the armspan required to use the D-Pad at the same time as the A/B buttons is too wide for even the likes of Yao Ming.

"Back in the old days, starting a fire in a fireplace was a trick, something that had to be learned. I should know. I live in the tropics. And back in the olden days, man didn’t even know how to start a fire period. Now what do we have? Fireplaces that are Wi-Fi connected and can be controlled with mobile apps. The tech was developed by New Zealand-based fireplace manufacturer Escea and is currently available in their two latest models, the DX1500 and DL850. Both fireplaces can be operated Read more [...]

"While those of you up North are probably freezing or covered in snow, where I live the weather is actually starting to warm up. Of course, there’s still the occasional thunderstorm, but it’s mostly a whole lot of warm and sunny weather. But sometimes, it’s just too warm – almost warm enough to melt the case off of my iPhone. Just kidding. I don’t think I’d still be alive to tell the woeful tale of my smartphone’s case melting off because I’d think I would’ve been fried by Read more [...]
