Gum goes high tech with Rev7

October 14, 2011 0 comments
When I was a kid, my brother and I were always chewing gum. My brother went on this gum bender once after watching the original Willy Wonka flick at school and started sticking his gum to the bedpost. At the time, we shared a room with a big queen bed and the gum managed to fall off the bedpost into my hair. Not fun times. Some of that gum remained adhered to the headboard for as long as we had that bed.

Microsoft employees claim to be working on next Xbox

October 13, 2011 1 comment
I think we all knew when the Nintendo Wii U was unveiled back at E3 that other next gen consoles would be coming too. It’s also safe to say that shortly after one version of a game console launches, the next is being worked on. When some workers at Microsoft hint they are working on the next Xbox, take it with a grain of salt. They probably could have said they were working in it years ago.

Mortal Kombat reboot now a reality via viral YouTube video

October 5, 2011 0 comments
If you’re a fan of one of the most famous fighting-based video games of all time, Mortal Kombat, certainly you’ve heard of the YouTube fan series “Rebirth.” Oh you haven’t? You’re in for a treat. Not only is the story at hand a rebirth of the film series based on the video game, its a rebirth of the career of the filmmaker whose only other notable work is an unsuccessful remake of “Fame”. The short film that started it all was created out of love for the series – and a desire to reboot the series. Turns out his gamble (and the good timing with the newest installment of the video game series) payed off because Warner Bros. is giving the creators the green light.

How The Department Of Energy Plans To Wean The U.S. Off Rare Earth Metals

October 4, 2011 0 comments

Rare earth metals–a group of 17 chemical elements found in solar panels, wind turbines, electric car motors, lithium-ion batteries, and more–are critical to a future reliant on clean energy. The problem is that China has the majority of the supply , and it has used that leverage to slow exports and raise prices. The U.S. is working on building up rare earth production sites, but the Department of Energy is sinking millions of dollars into an alternative: rare earth alternatives.

Amazon Kindle originally based on CEO Bezos’ BlackBerry

October 2, 2011 0 comments
There’s no doubt the original Kindle , although popular, wasn’t all that attractive. It had an angular design with a split keyboard and an odd scroll wheel. And now we know why. According to the NY Times , who spoke with an early Kindle hardware designer, that original version was so ugly because it was modeled after Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos’ BlackBerry smartphone.

Apple Thunderbolt 27″ Display tear-down

September 30, 2011 0 comments
iFixit has taken apart one of Apple’s brand-new 27″ Thunderbolt Displays . Spec-wise, it’s actually not as good as Dell’s UltraSharp U2711 monitor but for most people who want a monitor this big, it’ll do just fine. If the Dell monitor had a built-in camera, it’d be a hit with me.
