When I visited Epcot Center at Disney World for my honeymoon in 1994, one of memorable products I saw showcased was a prototype robotic lawnmower. Well, in 2007 K.A. Home Robotics has introduced the LawnBot for those of us who don’t live in the “experimental prototype community of tomorrow.”

The LawnBot isn’t related to iRobot’s successful and innovative Roomba, but it does share similar features. Working autonomously by means of its preprogrammed computer and a perimeter cable, the LawnBot can mow up to three separate sectors totaling 33,000 square feet and then return itself to its recharging dock.

One day these guys who just sit around thinking up new ideas for USB flash drive covers will go just that little bit too far and push the boundaries of common decency to a new level. But before then we have a long way to go which is why they are still sticking to producing food related flash drives, some are good and some are not that brilliant, but the people at Valolo have created a selection of nice ones for you to try.

Personally, I’m not a big gamer at all. I rarely, if ever, play any games on my Mac (as if there were any, haha!) and will occasionally play for a few minutes on my DS or PSP. That being said, I am absolutely, positively addicted to Guitar Hero II on the PS2 (also on Xbox 360, but I don’t own it). If you’ve never heard of it, read on, as I’m going to tell you why it’s, well, awesome.

The iH8 is the new updated version of the i-Home iH5, and is compatible with your iPod, iPod mini, iPod Photo and iPod nano.

Not so long ago, on this very site, we’ve reported on some figures coming from an universe far, far away, that you could print and fold in order to create cool figures. Now, the figures are about to become alive, and they also spare you the printing…

There’s a new webcam out there that can see its subject in the dark. The Night Vision Webcam is flanked by 6 infrared LED lights on the front; this 1.3 mp camera also maintains the ability to light any video conversation no matter how dark the conditions may be.

Additional features include automatic white balance, digital zoom, instant still image capture, and motion tracking. And with a built in microphone, conversations promise to be convenient, clear and clear sound and echo-free audio.

Ahh yes, the smell of burning rubber, tank petrol, and carbon fibre disk brakes are in the air. After three rounds of the formula one cirus in Australia,Malaysia, and Bahrain, the first big round of changes for the cars are in the air, and there are some doozies!!

To begin, my favorite reds, Ferrari have just installed so many changes in their “B-spec” car, that people are actually calling it a whole new car (technically not true as the main chassis core is the same, but apparently everything bolted on is new). The “ahem” flexible underbody is gone, and now conforms to the new FIA specs. Additionally new bodywork, on top of a wholly revised cooling system has provided a shocking half second advantage per lap improvement over the previous version, (yeah, that’d be the version that has 3 pole positions and 2 wins already).

Also, double world champ Fernando Alonso and his rookie racer teammate (who is AMAZING) Lewis Hamilton over at McLaren will be rolling in the race in Spain with a crazy new front wing that goes over the nose of the car, (check the picture). It’ s pretty nutty, but they say they have better results with that system, which, of course will mean that you can look for them on other teams in the near future. Read the rest of this entry »
