“I woke up that morning and saw the announcement,” Shuhei Yoshida tells us, remembering the day Facebook acquired Oculus VR. “And I was like, yeah!” Yoshida laughs and thrusts his arms in the air like an excited child. “For me, it was a validation…
If you’re wondering how this snowboarder is moving so fast on flat ground, the answer is simple. He’s holding powerful jet thrusters in his hands. Yes, jet thrusters. This is awesome.
Next-gen console price wars have officially hit the UK, and they’re getting serious. Going one better than their US counterparts, British retailers have slashed the cost of the Xbox One Titanfall edition by £50, with both Amazon and Asda currently…
3D printers may be getting all the hype right now, but an Israeli hardware startup called Zuta Labs wants to inject some particles of excitement back into 2D printing — by turning the standard 2D printer box into a mobile robot that rolls across paper free-style, dropping ink like a road-surface marker inks white lines.

GBA4iOS is a popular Game Boy Advance emulator for iOS. The latest version lets you play Game Boy, Game Boy Color and Game Boy Advance games without the need to jailbreak your device. The unavoidable downside of GBA4iOS is that you’ll have to use virtual buttons. AJ Design Studio wants to change that with the G-Pad.
The G-Pad is a rubber sleeve for the 5th generation iPod Touch and the iPhone 5, 5S and 5C that gives you physical buttons to press, which will in turn press the corresponding virtual buttons.
How fitting is that? A controller emulator for a handheld emulator. It has a glaring flaw though: it doesn’t have shoulder buttons. I’m not sure how the inventor missed that. Skip to around 0:50 in the video below to see it in action.
Is it just me or does the kid have unnaturally smooth hands and arms? It’s like he’s CGI. Anyway you can pledge at least $13 (USD) on Indiegogo to get a G-Pad as a reward. AJ Design Studio will make an iPad Mini version if it raises at least $25,000. I doubt it’ll get that far without shoulder buttons though.

I am currently living in a high rise apartment where there is water rationing going on, simply because of the mismanagement of our natural resources that resulted in this predicament. Unfortunately, there has been no water flowing through our taps for the past week, and this situation needs some serious looking into by the authorities. That means a pile of laundry sitting there that grows bigger by the day, if only there was a washing machine of sorts that saves water and gets the job done as well. Perhaps the £39.99 Scrubba Portable Washing Machine could be a lifesaver in such a situation?
The Scrubba Portable Washing Machine is touted to be the first pocket-sized washing machine in the world, where it does not run on any kind of electricity, but uses good old fashioned hand power instead – making it ideal in the event of a zombie apocalypse, too. Touted to be twice as effective compared to a hand wash session, and yet uses up just a fraction of the effort, the Scrubba Portable Washing Machine delivers machine-quality results in just a matter of minutes. There is a special internal washboard that makes scrubbing effortless, and it sure as heck beats bringing along your washing machine during a camping trip.

The Brooklyn Bridge was an awesome feat of engineering that required not just scientific prowess, but political strength. For 14 years, the construction of the bridge was overseen and managed by a woman named Emily Warren Roebling, who took over the role as chief engineer after her husband fell ill.
