Small anatomy factor (SFF) computers seem to be getting more popular nowadays, probably considering prices are a lot more affordable and users enjoy the small amount of space that it requires. Acer looks like it’s planning to compose good use of that demand, as it gears up to launch a new small profile factor desktop, the eMachines EL1352-H22C. It should be going on sale later that month for about 39,800 Yen ($432), and specifications include:

Are you in love with Steampunk stuff? Well, how about this steampunk-ish turtle? It’s a mechanically stuffed turtle which looks more or less normal, until you open its shell, where you’ll find all sorts of gears inside it, making it look like something from another planet. It does look more than a little cruel, though.

The HMK 561 Carbon Fiber Motorbike might seem like it’s from another planet, but seeing as there’s already a prototype in place, perhaps humans did come up with it after all. The HMK 561 has special electrical properties that hold ability right inside the frame. Since Carbon fiber is conductive, the designers are using it to distribute potential instead of wires. The ability will be used to potential the lights and the motors within the rims. The bike additionally uses the energy to turn the wheels using a counter-turning axel in lieu of gears and chains, which hopefully means less maintenance as well.

MkMan has come up with the rather delectable Lego spider robot, where it was created using pieces from a Mindstorm kit alongside a bunch of milled plastic parts. The legs themselves are provided by a locomotive concept known as Klann Linkage, where they will operate in twos, converting the rotational force from one motor into movement for both legs. There are four rotating gears in total to keep all eight legs moving. As for each limb, they are made up of five pieces including a base for each pair. Hopefully your mom won’t swat that out of fear when she stumbles upon it.

The iPhone 3GS has been touted to be the fastest iPhone yet, and apparently it is good suitable to run a version of the Unreal Engine 3 by Epic – yes, you read that right, it is the similar engine featured in high powered games like Gears of War 2. While the iPhone 3GS has such capability, that news is somewhat dampened by the fact that there are no games or licensees announced who will be using the engine – yet. We had told you that the 3GS would see more and more such cool stuff overtime and that is far from by. Video in the full post.
