Voici une vidéo intéressante sur les bourdons planants d'espion de futur.  Bien, mes espoirs sont là ne sont aucune guerre à l'avenir et cela que ces bourdons planants d'espion de futur serviront seulement à empêcher des guerres.  Où sont mes dollars d'impôts le fichu oncle SAM ?

Cette vidéo montre, qui est beaucoup d'amusement d'observer, les expositions STARMAC, le banc d'essai de Stanford de Rotorcraft autonome pour le Multi-Agent, décrit comme « banc d'essai de 6 véhicules aériens touchés par hélicoptère de quadrotor qui volent à l'intérieur et dehors à l'expérience avec des algorithmes autonomes d'agent. »

Here’s a humorous pose of the Chinese SWAT team practicing on segways. (Or maybe it was a scene in the movie shooting…)

I really think this is a really good idea as parts of busy Chinese metropolitan streets will let the segway travel much faster than anything other than motorcycles and bikes.

As for shooting shot guns from a segway, I’d have to say you need more training though.

Pistol Cam, a gun-attachable camera that records audio and video during a gun shot, may help document and provide a solid evidence for every gun shooting by the police.

Whether the cop has shot a person unnecessarily or not, the Pistol Cam may be effective in reducing wrongly-convicted police crimes or people who get shot by accident by cops.

Currently it’s only being used in the high-crime U.S. metropolitan cities like LA and New York but if proven effective, it could be widespread throughout the country soon.

This allows us the opportunity to review shooting incidents, unlawful use of force incidents and hopefully exonerate the member that’s involved in the shooting. It also ensures the public the police are not overstepping their boundaries,” said Orange County Sheriff’s Office Capt.

Here’s a smart solar floating ball that emits changing colors at night.  Government should invest in these and put them on the bayside waters such as under the Bay Bridge or Golden Gate Bridge to make use of the sunlight, providing nice glowing lights at night.

Main Features:
*Emitting rainbow color
*Color changing automatically
*Floating on water surface
*Fixable by the hole at bottom
*Totally sealed, waterproof
*Operating time up to 12 hours
*No wiring needed, wide application

I remember they had 3D fake bumpers in Korea about 20 years ago when I lived there.  Well, now Philadelphia is trying them but the bumpers look too fake and I don’t think they will work well…

A new program dubbed “Drive CarePhilly” is being rolled out in Philadelphia in an attempt to get drivers to follow speed limits. As part of the program, approximately 100 intersections will be fitted with high tech 3D decals that they believe will fake out drivers into thinking there is something in the intersection.

I’ve always been fond of supercomputers and I even did a college final project on supercomputers. (That’s 10 years ago..)

Here’s Roadrunner Supercomputer, based out of Los Alamos National Laboratory, supposedly a lot faster than the now-runner-up BlueGene from Lawrence Livermore Laboratory in Livermore, California.

Damn, I wish Google released how big their computers are, I bet it lists high on the list too.

The new machine is more than twice as fast as the previous fastest supercomputer, the I.B.M. BlueGene/L, which is based at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory in California.

The new $133 million supercomputer, called Roadrunner in a reference to the state bird of New Mexico, was devised and built by engineers and scientists at I.B.M. and Los Alamos National Laboratory, based in Los Alamos, N.M. It will be used principally to solve classified military problems to ensure that the nation’s stockpile of nuclear weapons will continue to work correctly as they age. The Roadrunner will simulate the behavior of the weapons in the first fraction of a second during an explosion.

Stealth B2 Bomber crashed for no apparent reason but the pilots are okay. Yey, there goes another 30 million dollars of my tax money!

Uh oh… It looks like Google Maps Street View is invading privacy of private lands.  Although most people probably won’t care that much but how did Google Maps get pictures of private lands in the first place?

Here’s underwear made for pilots so they can go pee while flying. I guess there has been cases in the past where pilots would crash due to their inability to flush themselves while in the air.

Think of how much each jet plane costs, like $30 million!

This little stupid underwear could possibly let me pay less taxes. Or at least see that tax money goes to education and poverty instead of jet planes.

The Advanced Mission Extender Device (”AMXD“) is made by a small firm out of Milton, Vermont. It uses “special underwear equipped with a hose (pictured, right) linked to a pump the size of a paperback book that drains urine into a collection bag,” the AP explains. “The men’s model uses a pouch; the women’s has something that resembles a sanitary napkin.” AMXD creator Mark Harvie patented the system back in ‘04.

Yes!  As a owner of 5 cellphones in the last 2 years, I think it’s time that consumers start fighting back against stupid contract termination fees which I paid about 3-4 times while trying to find the fastest cellular internet service.  (which ended up as Sprint.  AT&T (Cingular), T-mobile, Verizon, they all suck.

Cell phone companies routinely charge customers $175 or more for quitting their service early. Under a proposal to the Federal Communications Commission, the wireless industry would give consumers the opportunity to cancel service without any penalty for up to 30 days after they sign a cell phone contract or until 10 days after they receive their first bill.

The proposal also would cap such fees and reduce them month by month over the course of a contract based on how long customers have left, according to people familiar with the offer speaking on condition of anonymity because the FCC has not accepted it. The plan would not abolish cancellation fees entirely.
