Now that summer is here, some of you will get fussy about shoes, instead opting for sandals.

And unless you hate yourself (or think Crocs are great), don’t opt for these ones, which pack a storage compartment in each sole.

Aside from looking like something that cooky relative in your family would wear, there are just better ways to lug your pocketables around.


Microsoft’s new wireless keyboard-and-mouse duo aims to thwart keystroke spies with full AES 128-bit encryption on over-the-air data — an improvement on older wireless models that have proven to be easy pickings for hacker-types.

You can pick up the Wireless Desktop 2000 now for $40, but that won’t buy you protection from more common threats like Shandong phishmongers, nor will it make up for security loopholes in your other peripherals.

Speaking of which, are you still using that seemingly innocent USB


The Craziest Low Pass Flyby I’ve Ever Seen

A Spanish pilot friend of mine sends me this stunning video of a low pass flyby in Argentina. I just can’t believe the mad man who was flying this jet got it so close to the ground.

The Craziest Low Pass Flyby I’ve Ever SeenThe airplane is an FMA IA 63, an Argentinian trainer jet that can also fight in combat. I don’t know what speed he is pushing, but this 31-foot wingspan bird can reach 442 knots (509mph, 819km/h) at almost 23,000 feet.

One thing is for sure: By the looks of it, it can’t be flying much higher than one meter from the ground at the lowest point.


SOFT Rocker

Wander through MIT’s Killian Court and you’ll spot something distinctly modern nestled amongst its classical buildings — a set of solar-powered lounge chairs called SOFT Rockers.

These curved, solar-panel-covered seats rotate on an axis to keep them facing the sun, generating additional energy from the rocking motion created when people climb inside.

All that harvested electricity can be used to recharge gadgets plugged into the three USB ports and to illuminate a light strip on the inside of the loop.

The teardrop-shaped charging stations were created by professor Sheila Kennedy and a team of students for the Festival of Art+Science+Technology (FAST) as an antidote to “conventional ‘hard’ urban infrastructure.”

Plus, they seem like a great place to charge your phone while evading Dean Wormer and riding out double secret probation. Check out the gallery below for more images.


Nokia E7 now shipping from Amazon for $649

Well look here! You can have your cake and eat it too — and by cake we mean that landscape QWERTY smartphone known as the Nokia E7.

The latest and greatest Communicator has caught up with its European twin and is shipping unlocked and contract-free from Amazon right now.

SpaceX promised something big, and it’s now delivered. The company today revealed its plans for the Falcon Heavy, which promises to be the “world’s most powerful rocket.”

Just how powerful is that? SpaceX says the 22-story rocket will be able to carry satellites or spacecraft weighing over 53 metric tons (or 117,000 pounds) into low earth orbit, which is nearly twice what the Space Shuttle is able to carry.

What’s more, this isn’t just a far off promise. SpaceX says the rocket will be “ready” sometime next year, and the first test flight is planned for 2013.

The rocket’s sheer size isn’t it’s only selling point, though — it also promises to drastically reduce the cost of sending things into space, with each launch expected to cost “only” $100 million. Head on past the break for a taste of what’s in store. Read the rest of this entry »

Disappointed by the lack of companionship offered by your current media center PC? Then you might be interested in this so-called REETI unit developed by France’s Robopec.

You see, not only is it a full-fledged media PC, it’s also a robot — one capable of displaying a range of emotions, no less.

The company’s actually been working on this one for a little while now, but it just recently made its public debut at the Innorobo trade show, where it showed off its ability to track people with its eyes and respond to both speech and touch.

Still no word on availability, but it seems like the company is, in fact, planning to sell them at some point.
