Strap yourself in your chair. Put down the coffee mug. And make sure you have an empty stomach because you’re about to take a ride in a flying roller coaster. Or well, the closest thing there is to a flying roller coaster. The video below gives you the backseat cockpit view of an ultra low flying RAF’s Typhoon frontline jet fighter. The sights are incredible, the speed is fierce and the turns are just ridiculous. What a powerful machine.
Damon Albarn’s been making music now for decades (!), but today the Blur, Gorillaz, and The Good, The Bad, and The Queen frontman released the lead single from Everyday Robots, his very first solo LP. The video for the song was directed by artist and designer Aitor Throup, and offers a digitized glimpse at what’s happening behind the Albarn’s handsome face (swoon).
The wheelchair might have a rather simple design for the most part, but given the advance in technology, it is not surprising to see advancements made to the design to help those who might be more several disabled. We’ve seen how some wheelchairs have the ability to grow legs and climb stairs, and how some of them can be controlled using their tongue, so what about a wheelchair that can be controlled simply by using our thoughts or facial expressions? That’s pretty much what a Silicon Valley startup called Emotiv is hoping to do. (more…)

A little over a week ago, we reported that Sony might be working on a WiFi-only version of its Sony Xperia Z Ultra device. Like we said at that time, considering that the Xperia Z Ultra came with a whopping 6.44” display, some might feel more comfortable using it as a tablet-ish sort of device rather than a smartphone, so by taking out cellular capabilities, it would transform the device into either a gigantic media player or a small and portable tablet, not to mention the lack of cellular probably saves a fair bit of battery life too. Well the good news is that if you thought along those lines as well, you’d be in luck because it seems that the device might have inadvertently been confirmed by Sony on their website.
The WiFi-only Xperia Z Ultra device has a model number SGP412, and it was recently that Sony added drivers for two new Xperia Z Ultra variants on its website, one of them for a certain SGP412, which more or less confirms the device’s existence. The other drive is for a Xperia Z Ultra whose model number is SOL24 which is essentially a carrier variant in Japan. However since this can hardly be thought of as an official announcement, there still remains the possibility that we could be wrong, but with MWC 2014 around the corner, hopefully we will learn more then. In the meantime what are your thoughts on using the Xperia Z Ultra as a media-only device or a tablet?
