Check out this video of non-circular gears that work harmoniously without breaking each other off.  What I am most interested is how well these non-circular gears will do when high-speed and weather-change are applied.

Let’s say you install these non-circular gears into a car that will run through over-100-degrees desert weather, will it manage?

This Keyscan Keyboard comes with a 4800dpi scanner attached to the top of the keyboard for easy document scanning.  I think this is a pretty good idea.

Posted on May 6, 2008 by max

Okay, we did a quick post about the rumored Blackberry 9000 without 3G.  I guess now the rumor has changed so it will have 3G.  Duh, why would Blackberry sell something without high speed broadband?  We should have realized this beforehand.

It looks like The Boy Genius Report has scored some more information on the BlackBerry Niagara. Apparently it’s a 3G (EVDO) device after all, planned for Verizon in May 2009. It’s said to feature QWERTY, 480×360 LCD, aGPS, 3.2MP c
