Robot Wars: The 6 scariest unmanned aerial vehicles
Autonomous copter flies with astonishing precision
Who knew a quadrotor helicopter could fly with such grace and perfection? This autonomous radio-controlled aircraft was programmed by the geniuses at the GRASP Lab at the University of Pennsylvania. Now that is some sweet flying.
Each of this quadrotor bot's moves is transmitted from an outboard computer to the helicopter via 2.4GHz XBee wireless networking. According to its builders, "The quadrotor knows the location and orientation of the window from the motion capture system."
And how does it stick to the wall? Velcro.
X-51A scramjet breaks record for longest hypersonic flight
The X-51A Waverider blasted itself into the longest hypersonic flight in history yesterday, streaking across the sky at Mach 5 for just over 200 seconds. That's 10 times longer than the previous record, set in 2004 by NASA's X-43. While the X-51A has already flown a couple of times while remaining attached to its mother ship, this was the first time the unmanned plane flew independently.
Hypersonic flight, defined as faster than Mach 5 (around 3,800 mph), is not easy. Conventional turbine jet engines can't handle such tremendous speeds. To complete its hypersonic flight, the 14-foot-long Waverider launched from the wing of a B-52 over the Pacific Ocean, and with the help of a solid rocket booster, screamed up to Mach 4.8 before that booster was jettisoned.

Artsy Back to the Future hoverboard replica actually hovers
French artist Nils Guadagnin is paying homage to Back to the Future II in the most appropriate way: by recreating the pink hoverboard Marty McFly, erm, "procures" from a little girl. And hover it does — it even has a nice little bounce when the artist taps it.
Sadly, it probably doesn't have enough lift for anyone to ride it, though Guadagnin certainly didn't skimp on the tech: "Integrated into the board and the plinth is an electromagnetic system which levitates the board. A laser system stabilises the object in the air." Lasers! [Read more...]
Tablet costs less than half of the iPad, plays 1080p
We had to do a double take when we saw the $180 price on this 7-inch X10 touchscreen Tablet PC. Amid a sea of me-too slate PCs, this one makes lofty claims, including the most eyebrow-raising of all: the ability to play 1080p video over its HDMI port. [Read more...]
Sony builds astonishing roll-up OLED display of the future
Look what Sony's done with an OLED display. This 4.1-inch screen is so thin and flexible, it can wrap around a pencil-sized cylinder. Its 432 x 240 resolution still shines bright, albeit not quite perfectly, with some funky horizontal and vertical lines. Even so, it's so much better than any others that came before, it represents a breakthrough. [Read more...]
Concept car could put an end to road rage once and for all

10 Best Cities for the Next Decade
We live in challenging times. Unemployment remains high, and the U.S. lead in technology and science is slipping as many foreign countries gain ground. But some U.S. cities, though slowed by the Great Recession, still thrive by lifting good old American innovation to new levels. And that will help put more Americans back to work and keep our international edge. [Read more...]

Yet another flying car concept that'll never exist
Flying cars are always perpetually a few years away in the future. But the thing is, we have the technology to make them now. They're just insanely impractical. I mean, think about it: how many car accidents happen every day? What would adding another axis for people to worry about do to those safety numbers?
But despite that, people still keep designing these things as if they're ever going to exist in our lifetimes. The latest is the YEE, a car that can transform into a plane at the touch of a button. I'll give it to them: it's cool looking. But really, guys, it's never gonna happen. Just accept it.
Could this be the wrist computer of 2020?

HP Slate officially alive, ditching Windows 7 for Palm WebOS
It's hard not to feel a little robbed by HP's Slate. It was supposed to be the tablet computer to answer Apple's tablet toy, but turns out toys are pretty popular. Directly related or not, HP floundered in the wake of the iPad, but it's back with the Slate once more. [Read more...]
Hubble catches planet being devoured by its star
The Hubble space telescope has discovered a planet in our galaxy in the process of being devoured by the star that it orbits, according to a paper published in The Astrophysical Journal Letters.

2.7 million gamers reach for `Halo'
"It's exceeded our expectations," said Bungie Studios community director Brian Jarrard. "Our only real perspective going into this was the 'Halo 3' beta test, which had about 800,000 people. We knew there were a couple million copies of 'ODST' out there, but we really didn't have any specific information that let us know what the population might be like." [Read more...]
Ferrari Will Build Hybrid To Protect V12
When Ferrari unveiled the Vettura Laboratorio HY-KERS at the Geneva Motor Show people asked why Ferrari developed a hybrid model. And the answer is not "because the market asked for it", but, according to Amedeo Felisa it was in order to protect the V12 engine.
In an interview with AutoCar he said: "That is why we are developing hybrid technology. Hybrid means we can protect the V12. And while people expect Ferrari to adopt turbocharging for future generations of its V8 models, he said that the next Enzo might be powered by a V12 engine mated to an electric motor.
Now, we are a little confused because a few days ago, AutoCar reported that "Felisa also hinted that the new Ferrari Enzo will be powered by a direct-injection twin-turbo V8 when it is launched in 2012." So, V8 or V12? Unfortunately, it seems that Ferrari is going to keep us guessing until the curtain is finally pulled back to reveal their choice.
We also don’t fully understand the resistance to turbocharging. Ferrari has used this tactic in the past with the likes of the Ferrari 288 GTO and the Ferrari F40. Of course that was with the V8 and before they switched to a naturally aspirated V12 in 1995. It seems Ferrari has no intentions of going backwards.
MCLAREN ANNOUNCES 35 GLOBAL RETAIL LOCATIONS

Check out the Periodic Table of The Empire Strikes Back
What elements made The Empire Strikes Back a classic? After 30 years (30 years exactly, because Star Wars: Episode V opened May 21, 1980), we finally know — thanks to The Periodic Table of The Empire Strikes Back!
Teleportation over 10 miles: the Ultimate secure line?
We picked our jaws off the floor when we heard about tiny particles being teleported just a foot or two away, but now scientists have topped that by 10 miles. This tech won't be transporting Kirk and his Away Team to the surface of some distant planet anytime soon, but it has seriously practical applications to communications.
Quantum physics says photons can, in some ways, occupy two places at once. When one photon gets entangled with another, whatever happens to one of those particles also happens to another, even if it's TEN frickin' miles away! Now THAT's a fast connection.
The good news: The researchers were able to send this info with 89% fidelity. The bad? Information transmitted in this way will be hard to encrypt. But they're working on that. There's good reason to work on it; if they can get this right, the communication would be completely secure. Since there's no physical medium for the transmission to travel through — not even
Fastest Cars Under $50,000

What if you could tell a battery was low just by looking at it?
It's a neat idea. It would certainly be helpful to have a visual indicator of how much power is left. But the way batteries fit into devices makes this seem like it wouldn't really work. If they need to fit in tightly when charged, would thinning down make them loose? If so, these won't work at all. Maybe a visual gauge on the side would make more sense.

World's largest auto mall has a race track on top
Those ambitious Turks in Istanbul must be planning to sell a lot of cars. They're building the gigantic Autopia Europia auto mall, the biggest in the world, giving you a full race track on top to test cars before you drive one home.
Under construction now, the five-story, 708,661-square-foot building will have room for 200 car galleries, displaying 2526 different kinds of vehicles. Meanwhile, 24 banks will be standing by to help you pay for that dream machine, and 56 bars, restaurants and cafes await for you to think over your purchase.
It's so big, the illustrations suggest using Segways to navigate the monstrous structure. The optimistic Turks expect 6 million visitors to Autopia Europia every year. Does this mean the recession is truly over? [Read more...]
Could this 'recliner' be the best stand for your iPad or Kindle?
What's nice about the curved-back design is that it allows your tablet-y gadget to either be held near upright or more horizontal to the surface its on, giving you a couple of options depending on how you're using it. Its $30 price tag seems a touch steep for a simple accessory such as this, but if you're looking for a versatile stand, this seems to be a good option.
Wow! Google logo is now a playable game of Pac-Man
Google always changes up the way their logo looks on their main search page to commemorate various holidays. But today? They've taken it to the next level: the entire logo is a playable game of Pac-Man. Oh, my.
It was done to commemorate the 30th anniversary of Pac-Man, and it is, in a word, awesome. To play, click "Insert Coin." You can even play with two players by clicking it twice! The graphic isn't Flash, so it even shows up on the iPhone and iPad (though the sound doesn't). Nice.
You have to wonder how much productivity is being lost today because of this. Good thing Google did this on a Friday.

Next-gen nanotech spy satellites will count the hairs on your head
Nestled inside each one of those nano-sized holes are quantum dots, ultra-tiny crystals packing some super-powerful optical and semiconductor magic. This bit of microscopic trickery creates images and night vision that's 20 times sharper than the best systems we have now.
We already know about satellite cams that can resolve images that are 20 inches across. But the highest-resolution imaging power of today's sharpest satellites is a top secret, so something 20 times better than that — what will they be able to see? And it's infrared, so the cameras will be able to spot heat sources, maybe even through walls. Even tinfoil hats won't help.
Google: Android 2.2 (Froyo) is 'world's fastest mobile browser'
New niceties abound, including the ability to tether your laptop to your cellphone. That lets you use your laptop's Wi-Fi to tap into the Android phone's 3G signal, getting you online when you're out in the field. One of our favorites: sending navigation directions from your computer to your cellphone.
There's no official ship date yet for Froyo, that the software developers kit will be rolling out in the "next few weeks."
Is the world ready for Google TV?
Google just unveiled an ambitious new project called Google TV, a new system that would bring the Web, online videos and all the goodies the big G has to offer over from your computer and onto your TV.
The video above does a good job of explaining the deal, but here's the boiled-down version: via either set-top boxes or through TVs with Google TV built-in, Google software and hardware will treat live TV like any other web content. That's to say, you'll be able to do a search for 30 Rock and it'll find all episodes coming up for you to watch or record as well as all episodes on places like Hulu and Netflix.
With more robust features like Android app support coming as well, it seems like we're just seeing the tip of this iceberg. Will Google be able to successfully infiltrate your living room? Time will tell, but my first impression of this is that it's very, very impressive.

Bluetooth: best thing to happen to receivers since surround sound
Square iPhone app will change the way we shop
It’s been awhile since I’ve truly been excited about an iPhone app, which is why I was delighted to learn about the new Square financial iPhone app (free), created by Twitter co-founder Jack Dorsey. Square, which officially debuted in the iTunes App Store last week, makes it possible for anyone, anywhere to accept credit card transactions using a free card reader. That means, if you’re willing to pay a fee, your roommate can pay you the rent via credit card, you can sell that television to a Craigslist stranger (no paper required), and that the corner hot dog stand doesn’t have to be cash only. It means that there’s now an app that could change the way businesses run and how we shop. [Read more...]
Awesome jet ski: fast, electric and green, and totally cool
The Green Samba is an electric personal watercraft that can reach top speeds of 65 mph from silent twin direct drive electric propulsion pods, with zero emissions. No word on how long it can run with the onboard batteries, but let's hope a passing bass boat can give you a charge if you run out of juice in the middle of the lake.
This beauty, developed by the Silveira group is expected to begin testing next year, and hopefully be available before my summer vacation.
Memory-foam battery concept lets you go from AA to D
The AtoD Rechargeable Battery is a design concept that attempts to solve that problem by using a single rechargeable battery core that's surrounded by memory foam that conforms to whatever shape/size you need. Brilliant, right? Well, it might be easier to make a removable sleeve to shim up a smaller battery to fit a "D" slot than it would be to squish a D-sized piece of foam down to an AA-sized slot. Sometimes, it's hard enough to fit normal batteries in — these could be a nightmare to remove, especially once the memory foam begins to expand. Plus, the design doesn't take into account the different capacities that different sizes provide.
Still, it's an interesting idea. What's next: inflatable batteries?
Military robots seen as lifesavers
HAMMELBURG, Germany – On the outside, it looks like a normal SUV. But the prototype "autonomous robot car" — fitted with sensors and scanners, multifocal camera systems and powerful computers — might one day help avoid military fatalities from bombings and ambushes — or so its designers hope.

Modern automobiles are super vulnerable to hacking, researchers say
Well, this doesn't sound good.

So vulnerable, in fact, that they labeled them as "fragile." [Read more...]

If the iPhone were a lamp, this would be it
This sleek desk lamp features an array of LEDs on the underside of its arm. In order to turn it on, you just pinch with your fingers on top of it to determine just how many of them you want to turn on. It's clever, and it uses the same sort of gestures that touchscreen devices such as the iPhone have trained people to use.
It begs the question: in the future will more objects be controlled by pinching and swiping? Why not, I say? It's interesting to think of touchscreen phones ushering in an entirely new way of interacting with all sorts of other devices.
Computers can now detect sarcasm? Yeah, right
If we want to verbally communicate with computers, they're going to have to learn to recognize sarcasm. A team of programmers say they've done just that, with their Semi-Supervised Algorithm for Sarcasm Identification (SASI).
After scanning 66,000 Amazon.com product reviews, which as you're probably aware are rife with sarcasm, they found 80 sentences containing patterns that enabled their software to understand sarcasm with 77% accuracy. Not bad, but it's going to take a lot more than rote learning of a few common sarcastic phrases for computers to master the art of sarcasm.
Even so, this is a great start. Accurate speech recognition is enormously difficult, and sarcasm is sometimes almost impossible to interpret. Reminds us of the professor who pointed out numerous instances of double negatives, and then declared there was no such thing as a double positive in the English language. Muttered someone in the back row, "Yeah, right."
Sleek MIT concept planes burn 70% less fuel than today's jets
The aircraft pictured on the left is the 180-passenger D Series, affectionately known as the "Double Bubble." It's designed to replace today's Boeing 737-class jets, but flies at speeds that are about 10% slower. Its engines are mounted on the rear of the fuselage, taking in slower-moving air that's been disturbed by the plane's fuselage. That allows them to burn less fuel while maintaining the same amount of thrust they would if they were mounted on the wings.
On the right you see the 350-passenger H Series, using many of the same tricks, but aimed at replacing the Boeing 777-class planes that travel much longer distances. Its triangular-shaped body creates enough forward lift so there's no tail needed.
These are some sweet planes, and they're a lot more realistic than that fanciful 2050 design we showed you last week that takes off vertically. Let's hope NASA accepts these designs and gives the MIT team the go-ahead for Phase 2 of this forward-looking project.
MIT is one of six teams commissioned by NASA in 2008 to develop these future craft, but we're rooting for the Boeing and Lockheed-Martin teams, working on supersonic commercial aircraft. Of course, the future will have room for both types of planes, just like when Concorde was flying.

Google to abandon its Nexus One online store
Well, that didn't last long. Just four months after seeking to shake up the wireless world by selling its Android-based Nexus One phone direct over the Web, Google has cried uncle, announcing that it'll close its online store once it has "increased the availability" of the handset in regular retail stores.
"As with every innovation, some parts worked better than others," wrote Google engineering VP Andy Rubin in a blog post Friday. "While the global adoption of the Android platform has exceeded our expectations, the Web store has not." [Read more...]

US Air Force gets a migraine from Sony's latest PS3 update
That's right, rather than going with some ultra overpriced proprietary computing platform, the US Air Force has been experimenting with lashing together hundreds of PS3s to harness their cheap computing power. The only problem is that their systems run on a Linux platform, which is no longer supported by the latest firmware.
The Air Force PS3 clusters aren't hooked up to the PlayStation Network, (thank goodness), so the firmware SNAFU crops up only when an individual console needs to be replaced or repaired. Sony automatically updates the firmware when a system is sent in for repair, and this has led to a lawsuit claiming that the returned consoles no longer have the functionality they offered when they were originally sold.

Hydrogen-powered airliner of 2050 takes off vertically
Let's jump 40 years into the future with designer Victor Uribe, and look at that, it's just about time for his Airbus A350H airliner to lift off from the center of Frankfurt. In the crowded world of 2050, Uribe says there won't be room for conventional airports any more, so that's why he's designed his hydrogen-powered aircraft to take off vertically.
In this design concept, the aircraft's hydrogen fuel is synthesized from water drawn from a nearby river. That fuel is pumped to the awaiting jets, refueling as they perch high atop their mid-21st-century runways, which now look more like elegantly-designed platforms.
Nice work, Victor — but by 2050 we're hoping telepresence will be so well-developed that dragging our carcasses around the globe will be unnecessary. If not, we'd rather have jet packs, maglev bullet trains and flying cars. [Read more...]

How to reclaim your Facebook privacy in just two minutes
Facebook is once again in hot water for how it handles a user's privacy, though this time it's looking like some real trouble for the company. Facebook members and the media alike are calling for the service to put its users first, security fears are fueling movements calling for people to leave the site and Facebook's CEO, Mark Zuckerberg, certainly isn't doing the site any favors when it was found out he called his earliest users "dumb fucks" and offered to steal their personal data. Maybe he'll appreciate privacy a little more, now. [Read more...]
