Cool Cube World Stick People

Cool! Another way to kill time… There are four box things, each one has a figure in it that either does rope sticks, plays with a ball, a dog or a stick. You interact with them via the three buttons on the front or by changing its orentation. Motion sensors inside the device will rotate the fugure around in its virtual room. In addition to all that, if you link them together (there are contacts on four sides) the stick guys will interact with each other! They might play basketball, leapfrog, or just fight. The total number tof cubes you can connect is 16. Very neat.

Sexterminate!

 

YOW! I can see why the BBC is a little ticked off at this one, you just can’t have the most evil and feared creature to ever grace the TV running around after ‘disco babes’. 

Dr Who’s foes capture three naked “disco babes” in the 18-rated DVD. They chase the girls around their spaceship and grope them with their plungers… The estate of creator Terry Nation intends to sue. Estate director Tim Hancock said: “The reason the Daleks are still the most sinister thing in the universe is because they do not make things like porn. “They weren’t ever intended to be sexual creatures. It’s simple, Daleks do not do porn.”

BBC says: Sexterminate! (Warning, link is not safe for work!)

King Pong!

PONG!

More Pong goodness! The German group, ‘chaos computer club‘ wired up lights in all the windows of an eight story building and interfaced it to a computer that can be controlled via cell phone. What you get is a massive video arcade that anyone with a cell phone can call into and play. Just amazing what time and know-how can do isn’t it?

Sony Makes a Buckyball Film

Right now it looks little more than a chunk of kelp that washed up on a beach somewhere but trust me, its much more than that.

The formula Sony has developed uses the buckyballs arranged in clumps of eight. Sony is mixing them in a polymer to form a barrier that makes for thinner membranes. The goo helps stop the penetration of oxygen across the fuel cell’s membrane and stops methanol leakage, which in turn boosts the power density…or so the Sony boffins say.

Huh? Sounds like the oxygen doesn’t stand a chance at making little buckyballs, poor buggers. All kidding aside, this should help make fuel cells more efficient with a power density of about 100 milliwatt-hours per square centimeter.
