What do you want for Christmas? I want a razor sharp wrist/arm blade that’s shaped like a scorpion with a pointy sharp death tail. Can I have it? Can I have it mom? Please? No… You’ll tear your eye out, kid.
This crazy thing is called the Death Stalker and you can see why. Yeah, this weapon looks like a bunch of fun. If you consider hospital visits a full time hobby. This insane melee weapon measures 14.5 inches overall, has black Stainless Steel Blades all over and a rubber coated handle and metal forearm plate. It comes with a wood display stand too.
It’s only $49(USD) from Amazon. It should also come with a hospital gift certificate.

Mobile chip manufacturer ARM is boosting its graphics abilities with the acquisition of gaming visuals specialist Geomerics, developer of a time- and processor-saving 3D lighting system. The technology, Enlighten, is already used in Battlefield 4, Need for Speed Rivals, EVE Online, and Medal of Honor: Warfighter, and will enable “photo realistic graphics in mobile” ARM […]

‘Senior ARM Official’ Confirms Samsung’s 64-Bit Exynos Processor Debuts In 2014
Posted in: Today's Chili
We picked up on a rumor last month which claimed that Samsung might skip the 20nm manufacturing process and jump straight to the 14nm processor from the existing 28nm. The reason behind this decision was said to Samsung’s aim to make a “comeback” in the foundry business. Samsung is expected to launch its 14nm 64-bit Exynos 6 chip next year and according to a new Korea Herald report which quotes a “senior ARM official,” the 64-bit Exynos chip will be used in Samsung’s devices in 2014.
What this means is that its possible for the Galaxy S5 to come with the 64-bit processor. However, since it is rumored that Samsung might launch this smartphone ahead of schedule and if the 64-bit processors aren’t ready by then, its possible that they might debut with the Galaxy Note 4. We’ve also heard rumors that Samsung might launch an entirely different premium smartphone lineup, perhaps that might be the first device to come with the new processor. The same ARM official is also quoted as saying that 128-bit chips are likely to be developed in the next few years as computing demand increases. It remains to be seen though if other chip manufacturers like Qualcomm and Samsung move toward 128-bit as well.

Exoskeletons are definitely the way to go to boost and assist people’s natural strength. There have been numerous exoskeleton prototypes created, but most of them cost an arm and a leg to make. That’s not the case of the Titan Arm, winner of the 2013 James Dyson Award.
The Titan Arm was designed by four mechanical engineering students at the University of Pennsylvania, and it’s a low-cost upper body exoskeleton that was developed for use to lift heavy objects and health care. The exoskeleton increases the user’s arm strength by up to 40 pounds to reduce fatigue, and braces the back.
Those with injuries can also use the exoskeleton to help rebuild muscles and relearn fine motor control. The working prototype was created for less than $2,000(USD), using 3D printing and CNC machining technologies.

Intel has been trying to compete in the mobile world with its own processors from the Atom line. The problem Intel has run into is that it’s chips are typically not as power efficient as ARM offerings meaning devices using Intel hardware often lack the battery life needed to compete in today’s market. Intel has […]

It at first you don’t succeed, join forces with people that do things better than you. At least, that’s what Intel is doing, as it starts producing ARM chips at its fabrication plants.
