Invisibility Cloak Inches Closer To Reality With The Carpet Cloak
March 19, 2010
Mankind has been fascinated by the concept of an invisibility cloak lengthy before Harry Potter came along, but regardless of where our love for invisibility cloaks came from, we’re still waiting to get our hands on one. Now some smart scientists are busy working to come up with another variant of the invisibility cloak, and the good news it, it can hide things in 3D. Previously invisibility cloaks only hid things when viewed directly, but the moment you moved to the side, it was very obvious that something was amiss. With the “Carpet Cloak”, the trick is to change the speed and direction in which light travels through the material, meaning changing the material’s refractive index. that is achieved by using a polymer crystal made up of tiny rods, which can change the ratio of air to polymer by changing the thickness of the rods. certain, it sounds like a lot of hokey, but we’re happy to use whatever method they want, as distant as we get our invisibility cloak gift-wrapped nicely under our Christmas tree that December.

March 15, 2010
Guitar fans out there who are embracing the digital revolution will certainly be glad to construct out that Zoom has introduced the G2Nu and the G2.1Nu guitar effects pedals, both that feature 100 preset guitar sounds, 20 of which have been approved by Steve Vai himself. The main difference amidst the two pedals would be the inclusion of a built-in expression pedal on the G2.1Nu. There’s plus a 1.9-inch display to help keep you in touch with the pedal, but more importantly, both units sport integrated USB ports, allowing you to record directly to your computer via these pedals. Too poor there isn’t any official pricing or release data just yet. Is that going to be the latest thing on your Christmas wish list?

RoboThespian RT3 not ready to take by the world yet
March 3, 2010
Don't distress about robots taking by the world in an apocalyptic end to mankind - that day, whether it ever arrives, is too far off the horizon. After all, despite being rather lifelike in linguistic ability (which you'll find out why later), the RoboThespian RT3 doesn't quite pack the punch we're looking for as it is more of an interactive exhibit than a real robot. After all, you are the one who programs it to say whatever you want using text-to-speech software with support for up to 15 languages. Apart from that, you can add more personality using custom motion routines via Blender (an open source 3D design software), with it fully articulated hands and fingers adding more realism. Just don't expect to see the RoboThespian RT3 reach under your Christmas tree as it retails for a whopping $84,000.

Light Tree does the environment good
March 3, 2010
The Light Tree concept you see here is not meant for Christmas date only, as you get solar cells covering most of the artificial tree in order to harness the capability of the sun to juice up its ultra-bright LEDs at the base. All light will diffuse through water which fills the entire cavity of the tree for that glowing look. Nice to know that there is some natural green left in the Light Tree since the upper parts will hold seeds of actual plants - may the heavens keep that concept well watered! Sounds like a decent effort, but we don't think it will build it in the real world due to the high level of vandalism.
