I have to admit that I don’t know what it is like to lose an arm, and need to use a prosthetic one.
I would imagine that the future of prosthesis involves hands that are robotic, but this particular design doesn’t look like Arnold Schwarzenegger’s arm that he revealed in T2.
As you can see, [...]
Flipper Frenzy from Wild Planet Games

I might as well admit it and say that there isn’t that much difference between Flipper Frenzy and the Hyper Dash Extreme game that I reported on the other day.
They are both made by the same company, and the same basic principle is the same. Each game has a unit that can [...]

Some of you might remember when we covered the Omnitread, an odd snake-like robot with the ability to crawl into small places. Apparently, the U.S. Army Research Laboratory is working on similar technology with a Robotic Tentacle Manipulator. As you can see, it has three snake robots on a circle base.
These robot [...]

Sometime, in the year 2013, when we have realized that that whole 2012 end-of-the-world thing was just another Y2K, we will (hopefully) see the EQP2 Excursion.
The Excursion is a Light Sport Aircraft (LST) that has enough space for two people and baggage. You may note that it has two propellers on its [...]

Blue Octopus USB Laptop Cooler

This is by far the most interesting looking laptop cooler I’ve seen around. Sadly it goes under your laptop, so even though it looks really good, it’s not going to be seen a whole lot. The odd shape of this USB cooler is inspired by an octopus. Although I’d say it’s incredibly debatable as to [...]
The Octopus USB Hub

I honestly can’t believe that this gadget wasn’t released sooner. After all, it’s a pretty logical combination, taking the tentacles of an octopus and turning them into little USB ports. This would be the way to jam 15 different ports into one device and keep it looking fun. As opposed to the other massive USB [...]
