Tamiya Loopwing Wind Power Generator Set
Posted by Sheila Franklin Categories: Misc. Tech, Science, Toys, Transportation,
Get your kids thinking about alternate energy sources with the Tamiya Loopwing Wind Power Generator Set. The windmill has a loop-wing design with low-friction connectors that needs very little breeze to run. A rechargeable vehicle is included that, after a 5 to 10 minute charge, can run for 1 to 2 minutes. The set has a double gear for light wind and triple for strong, and the base can also be used as a handle. Pre-order for $67.00, which sounds expensive until you realize no fuel costs are involved.

Cryptic Studios Star Trek Video Game
Posted by Sheila Franklin Categories: Corporate News, Movies, Video Games,
Cryptic Studios has announced that they are developing Star Trek Online, as well as for some consoles. Set 30 years after the last film, the game is not only a role-player, it will have player-vs-player combat. Look for Humans, Vulcans, Andorians, Klingons, and more. Each player has its own vessel to command and can team up for battles. We like the looks of the preview, although we really think Shattner should have voiced the intro. For more info, read an interview by GameSpot with Cryptic’s EP Craig Zinkievich.

Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: High Score, Short Bytes, Features, Home Entertainment, Podcasts, Software, Video Games, Videocasts, Videos,
At E3 2008, we got the opportunity to chat with TNA Knockout Christy Hemme along with “The Fallen Angel” Christopher Daniels about the upcoming TNA iMPACT! video game. Christy and Chris give us their take on what we can expect from Midway’s first outing with the TNA brand, and after we are done chatting with them, we jump right into a preview of the Ultimate X match. A TNA exclusive, you won’t find this mode in the Smackdown vs. RAW series - if you are curious how the mode works, hit the video to get a nice, long look, as Samoa Joe goes head to head with Chris Sabin.
TNA iMPACT! hits stores shelves on September 9, and will be available on Xbox 360 and Playstation 3.

Touch Sight Camera for the Visually Impaired
Posted by Sheila Franklin Categories: Cameras, Design, Science,
What a unique idea. Designers Chueh Lee and team from Samsung, China came up with Touch Sight, a digital camera for the visually impaired. The cam records sound when the shutter button is pressed and can be used as a reference for managing the photos. The device has a lightweight Braille display sheet with a 3D image instead of an LCD. Once taken, the images can be down or uploaded for sharing. The team discovered that the forehead is the best place for this device to aim and stabilize. We can’t wait to see the results if the prototype becomes reality.

Each are numbered and will be available this fall at Disney World and Disneyland, although if you just can’t wait, you can pre-order and pay extra for shipping. You really must be a collector as each retails for $200.00, not a small price to pay for the mice, duck, and dog.
