Are fuel-cells finally ready for the mass market? Toyota believes so, and it says it has the numbers to back that up. With the 2016 Mirai set to bring the hydrogen-sipping, water-spitting technology to the road next year – the culmination of twenty years of Toyota’s development – it won’t necessarily be a fast journey to market success; as Takeshi … Continue reading
Neill Blomkamp, director of District 9 and Elysium, is about to release a movie that’ll throw you for a true loop. Inside this film you’ll find Hugh Jackman, the voice of Sigourney Weaver, Dev Patel (from The Newsroom and Slumdog Millionaire), and Sharlto Copley – whom you’ll recognize from District 9 as the main character, Wikus Van De Merwe. Chappie … Continue reading
Have your Apple devices ready, everyone — it’s time for updates! Today, Apple has pushed an update for both iOS and OS X, spanning just about every device they have on offer (sorry, iPod nano or Apple TV users; no soup for you). Both updates fix small but notable issues, with the uptick to iOS 8.1.1 perhaps being the most … Continue reading
I have a penchant for kitchen gadgets, even though I don’t know how to use most of them properly. Back in June, we covered an awesome kitchen gadget that I wanted pretty bad, that Star Wars X-Wing Knife block, but what kept me from pulling out the plastic was the place that had them was over in the UK.
If you have ever waited (and waited and waited) to get anything shipped from overseas, you can understand my trepidation. The good news is that U.S.-based ThinkGeek now stocks the X-Wing knife block and it’s cheaper than the place that sold them overseas by nearly $20. You can get the X-Wing knife set for $99(USD).
The set includes five knives including a cooking knife, bread knife, carving knife, utility, and paring. The X-wing holder for the knives is silver plastic. The base is weighted to prevent the block from tipping over.
Last month, Mayor De Blasio announced a push to fund green spaces in New York’s poor neighborhoods. This probably isn’t exactly what he meant: Very wealthy power couple Barry Diller and Diane von Furstenberg have announced plans to fund a giant park in the Hudson River.
iOS 8.1.1 is here, and while it’s a pretty minor update, Apple says it should increase performance for the iPad 2 and the iPhone 4S, two of the oldest devices that make the leap to iOS 8. Go grab it now, especially if you have some more elderly devices.
Here’s some great news for aspiring magicians looking for original illusions to launch their careers. Researchers at Queen Mary University of London have successfully taught an artificial intelligence computer program how to create new variants on existing magic tricks that are able to fool an audience, even if they’re already familiar with the original trick.
At a Columbia Sportswear event in Denver earlier this month, the company gave a sneak-peek at what it’s claiming is the warmest puffy jacket on the planet that doesn’t make you look like a parade balloon. It probably still can’t compare to what’s needed to tackle an Everest ascent, but for the rest of us it could make the winter months feel like summer again.
We’ve discussed the reasons for having a 3D printer handy at length, and now MakerBot is looking to help decorate for your next evening soirée. The company teamed up with Martha Stewart Living to create designs for the Trellis Collection of…
