Sony unveils limited edition WALKMAN W252 to celebrate Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker
Sony has decided to celebrate the launch of the latest Metal Gear Solid title in the series from Konami, Peace Walker, by introducing a limited edition WALKMAN W252. You know what they say, if it is good enough for Solid Snake, it ought to be good enough for plebians like me. Bad jokes aside, here’s a run down on what this limited edition digital audio player offers, where this wearable MP3 player is water resistant to make it more than a decent gym buddy as you rack up the miles on the treadmill, while folks who prefer to run outdoors regardless of rain or shine will definitely appreciate its water resistant capability, although you might want to be more careful with it since dropping it by accident on the grass could prove rather hard to find unlike Apple’s brightly colored iPod nanos, as the WALKMAN W252 comes in a special camouflage finish.

Walk across the water like this
The first time I saw this image of a man walking on the water, I just assumed it was a special effect.
There is a video of it after the jump, and it’s either a grandiose hoax or the next extreme sport. I can’t help but want to believe that it is the latter.
The video explains that this act of walking across the water is done without divine intervention from Jesus, but a combination of speed, plus water repellent shoes. Yes, apparently water-resistant shoes make some difference, but some of it is the angle that you approach the water.

Boeing’s Phantom Ray Unmanned Aircraft
If you are thinking that this is a stealth fighter, then you would be right.
I mean, it has the traditional Flying Wing shape of stealth fighters like the B-2, only it is white, and not black. What makes this one even more different is that a pilot is completely optional. In fact, there wouldn’t be much room in there for a pilot anyway as this aircraft is only 36 feet long. (I realize that the photo makes it look bigger.)
This is the Phantom Ray, an unmanned airborne system (UAS) by the Boeing company. The engine is hidden way in its fuselage, which makes it difficult to detect, even from infrared devices.

Desktop Donut Factory is Homer Simpson’s Dream Come True
Homer Simpson is a hard working man. At the plant, he is always at that one station, doing…something.
But occasionally, it takes its toll. Instead of walking out to the breakroom for the donuts that Mr. Burns provides, I’m sure Homer would love to have the Desktop Donut Factory on his desk so he could make and eat donuts at his convenience.
For those who have Homer’s fetish can enjoy this real product from ThinkGeek. It is designed to bake a half-dozen donuts in about 4 minutes.

Judoon voice-changing helmet
Love all things Dr. Who? You will definitely find the Judoon voice-changing helmet to be something worth checking out, and perhaps, handing over 30 of your hard earned dollars to bring one home. Wearing this will let you speak like the law-abiding Judoon officer from the Dr. Who series. You will find that your stock with the kids will increase tremendously when wearing this, although you will look somewhat like a dork. Best to get a bunch of batteries ready just in case it dies out halfway while you’re having too much fun with it. Come to think of it, anyone who wears this looks like a baleen whale…

Verizon Wireless announces LG Ally
Watched Iron Man 2 already? Well, you would probably have seen LG made an appearance early in the movie when Tony was facing off with Senator Stern, where he hijacked the rest of the video transmission system using his touchscreen, translucent LG handset from the future. Well, many of us won’t mind toting one of those, but too bad it is just a concept at this point in time – perhaps in a decade, we could see an equivalent hit the market. After all, we’re pretty sure that many of us were amazed at the multi-touch interface seen in Minority Report a few years back, and it is nice to know that technology has caught on recently, with a plethora of devices going the multi-touch way. Back to the topic at hand, the LG Ally will arrive at Verizon Wireless Communications Stores from May 20th onwards, making it the first Android device from LG in the US. For those who can’t wait, pre-orders can be placed from today onwards.

3M MPro150 pico projector review
Pico projectors seem to catch on these days, but they aren’t exactly taking over the world by storm. The good people over at 3M has sent us a MPro150 pico projector, and after playing with it for some time, I would like to pen down my two cents’ worth and hope that it will help you decide on whether this is the pico projector for you, assuming you were looking for one in the first place. First of all, I must say that technology has certainly advanced at a crazy pace – ask anyone whether something like this is possible a couple of decades ago and they will probably laugh in your face, thinking that you have escaped from a mental asylum while letting you know that there is as much chance of that happening as with a multi-touch glass display used for computing. Let’s get down to the nitty gritty right after the jump, eh?
