Who else saw Lost last night? Was that not the best episode ever? Desmond! Desmooooond! I love that guy. If we were stuck on an island, we’d want to have that crazy bloke with us. But thanks to Alaska Airlines, Ask.com, Bell Business Mobility, BMW, Insecticide, Mini, Sprint, The 88, Toshiba and Zoombak, we […]
Made from bastardized I-Cybie robots, this set of 11 hunting trophies only come to life when approached, an IR sensor alerting them to the presence of movement. Their eyes flash red, orange or green, and the closer you come to them, the louder they growl. Created by France Cadet, a robotics teacher at Aix-en-Provence School […]
As our monitors eat away more at our retinas every day, we’re increasingly interested in computers for the blind. “Siafu” is a concept by Jonathan Lucas that combines a dynamic Braille surface with tactile control. Aside from clicking on the words that your hands read, photos could also be displayed on the same surface, protruding […]
Dutch researchers have come up with a heated sleep suit that could help insomniacs and older people who suffer from disturbed sleeping patterns. A system of micropipes filled with water warms the patient, increasing their body temperature by just 0.4 degrees Celsius. At 35.4ºC, the body shifts from nocturnal wakefulness to a deeper sleep because, […]
Our friend the animated USB dog has returned, this time with more of a healthy G- rather than a rampant R-rating. Just plug him in, and watch him do sit-ups all day long. It may inspire you to head down to your gym, or perhaps find a bar because the sight of all that abdominal […]

We knew there had to be a good explanation for the Vu’s name starting to show up on AT&T’s wares, and this just might be it. We’re hearing rumblings that the device, one of AT&T’s likely inaugural MediaFLO handsets, is apparently now set for a March 18 […]

Nice going RIM, you’ve successfully filed for a patent on a device that companies like HTC have been making since 2005.
