Holy crap, Oce unveils their new printing technology.  Instead of traditional inkjet or laserjet crap, this new technology uses this ink gel balls!  You can buy one here.

LAS VEGAS, USA (AVING Special Report on ‘IRgA 2008′) — <Visual News> Océ unveiled today new printing technology ‘CrystalPoint’, which combines toner and inkjet printing at the IRgA 2008 Annual Convention and Trade Show May 13-15 in Las Vegas, NV.

The Océ CrystalPoint process converts color Océ TonerPearls toner into a gel. Then this tonergel is jetted and crystallized onto any type of paper, producing water fast high quality images with accurate dot placement. According to the company, this revolutionary technology offers many environmental benefits since its TonerPearls used in tonergel jetting release no ozone, odor or fine powder. Furthermore, it reduces the use of paper coatings that impact the environment by printing an even semi-gloss finish on uncoated paper.

Holy crap, check this Parralax Propeller QuadRover towing a freakin’ Toyota Pickup Truck! At $4,000, it’s a hefty investment but you can play with it by custom-programming it to do whatever you need to make it do.

This gas-powered robot is built using a Honda 2.5 HP 4-stroke engine and hydraulic power system. It is controlled by a Propeller chip for the ultimate in customizable robots; eight 32-bit cogs at 20 MIPS each create endless programming possibilities. A 64 KB EEPROM leaves 32 KB for non-volatile data storage, and ample expansion ports provide plenty of flexibility for added sensors.

Four solenoid valves allow for the hydraulic power to be independently enabled, disabled, or reversed for either side of its skid steer system. The robot can rotate in position by making a complete hydrostatic turn or by braking one side and making an arc-turn, which can be accomplished at low or high speed. Straight-away top speed is up to 14 miles per hour. QuadRover uses a two-stage pump to provide high-end torque for low speeds and lower torque at higher speeds. This transmission provides a more continuous power band than a single-stage pump system. Servo controlled throttle and disk brakes make for precise acceleration and deceleration.

Holy crap, check out this house. It’s 5 story house with each story about 8 feet wide. I would feel claustrophobic living in this house. Neverthless, it’s a beautiful, creative design great for metropolitan cities like San Francisco or New York.

Four wooden floors between two existing walls, hanging in a steel skeleton, organize this house: downstairs for work, dining on 1st, relaxing on 2nd, sleeping on 3rd, and on the roof, go and enjoy the view.

The border to the outside is only glass. Transparency not only a necessity, but also a trump card.

Holy crap– somebody just went and TORE MY FREAKING USB CABLE IN HALF while it was still attached to my laptop!!!

No– wait– sorry. That’s just my USB drive. My bad. Never mind.
