iSound takes a cock Ocarinas

I have almost always found on a pair of headphones that I am completely satisfied given. Not that I'm so obsessed with the quality of the sound that I'm never satisfied. I do not think it convenient. They are either too small or because of decreased slowly over several minutes. Anyway, I do not think anyone would settle down and deal with it. Fortunately, the designers have agreed Yong Lee. You have earphones that can actually stay in the ears developed.

These headphones are an indication of an ocarina design, work it through the ear pressure, but at the same time, they get little support from the other side. You design a T-shape, he sits comfortably in your ear and take hope in the problem of the gap eliminated. Oh yeah, they are still drawing, so do not buy one actually. However, I'm glad someone thinks these things a little more.

liquid armor hardens in contact with balls

What you see here is a bullet-proof vest, and I just learned that even the best of them can not completely hold the balls. However, this model can change everything.

This model uses creamy goo “that somehow the molecules firmly together when it is beaten. I guess that makes it really, really hard.

Apparently, these “shear thickening fluid” were used by skiers to avoid fractures and injuries, and although it seems obvious, is the first time is used as armor.

I do not know about you, but this technology sounds like something that would be Wayne Enterprises, in his basement in Batman Begins. Anyway, Lucius Fox (Morgan Freeman character) This jacket was very expensive armor and tissue storage. This material has the contents of the memory that was now for all of Batman's cape and hard as a glider pilot. I do not understand why Fox would not work custard balls.

Bullet Proof cream. Man, that sounds like a menu from the desert in the school cafeteria. At least that's what the students call it.

Well, I'm sure if it works tech, then all the cops are probably filled to wear this west with this goo. Hopefully they will not leak.

Aquastar IBM supercomputer is a water-cooled

Modding enthusiasts know that when their platform to reach their full potential overclock want there to always water cooling route. Following each change can, its clock rate only go so far before the chip is a useless piece of molten silicon, and the fans is not exactly the best way to execute all very cool, independent of the size of the blade. Coolant, on the other hand, can unleash the full potential of the CPU, because it drives everything to the extreme, it is quite interesting, the computer giant IBM is coming to IBM Aquasar hear that from his name, you can say, he has something to do with water. You're right – the Aquasar IBM is the first of its kind in hot water cooled supercomputer, which is currently seeing action at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Zurich (ETH Zurich).

This unique configuration Aquasar computer consumes 40% less juice compared to a conventional air-cooled computer, but thanks to the direct use of waste heat in the heating of the building, in a 85% reduction in emissions of carbon dioxide. Well, what would you say that when it comes to keeping things nice and green? Imagine if all the supercomputers in the world were to run such a principle, as it were so. At least it shows that nerds to keep out of their way to the green world for the next generation. Otherwise, it is less powerful air conditioning in the server of the number one office building or data center network that will reach even more green in the long term.

Housed in the Department of Mechanical and Process Engineering at ETH Zurich, consists of three Aquasar IBM BladeCenter H chassis with 33 IBM BladeCenter QS22 Server (dual processor IBM PowerXCell 8i each) and nine IBM BladeCenter HS22 servers (two processors Intel Nehalem EP each). Among them is a single chassis is cooled by air, while the rest were liquid micro-channel heat sinks directly to processors and components within the server, which are then cooled in hot water (up to 60 C fixed).

Bina48 Robot is interviewed by The New York Times

When I saw this picture, I thought it was a female version of Pedro from “Napoleon Dynamite” but with a blond wig. It is actually a robot.

Needless to say, he could “make your wildest dreams” on the sensitive robot. It Bina48, a robot that is not at MIT or a large university, but the Terrace Foundation Movement in a small town of Bristol, Vermont.

I have included a video interview after the jump, so you can see the interview “with a robot for himself. As you probably guessed, closes Bina48 certain questions.

In fact, if the journalist said, “cool”, Bina'm 48, she was talking about the weather or illness. Robot then misunderstandings are fodder for science fiction really bad.

As for the appearance Bina48's, which is modeled after Bina (Martine) Rothblatt, and she apparently spent much time on this project. “The robot would like to mental programming” is derived from, and seems Bina48 learn more about the human Bina.

Well, we want to speculate about what happened? Do I even need to give you the whole “we should test robots more” human “? I can only say that could Bina48 we will have waited a breakthrough because it is certainly more advanced then a chatbot.

Check out these costumes dinosaur!

Just when I thought the New York Times interview with the robot Bina48 was the best thing that I see today, is another cool video.

This video you can see after the jump, contains two of the dinosaur costumes realistic I've ever seen. How do you see as their heads turn real leaders, and they roar and rumble as good as anything seen in Jurassic Park

Of course, the effect is not perfect, as you can still see some legs clad in spandex. I am assuming that the leg is not the man in the form of a dinosaur bone, which is why they have not only that the dinosaurs made fake skin on the legs. I wonder if people work in costumes dinosaur heads, or if it happens a strange remote control for the second part.

My source does not say where this video was made by dinosaurs, but he speculates, a theme park Australia. The guy who say raising dinosaurs, he could be Steve Irwin. Let us hope that the dinosaur hunter by his “animals” killed.

Man, what I want to give a dinosaur as a Halloween costume. If I wore black spandex my legs, I camouflage with the night sky. While no one knew that I was not the real thing.
