I was going to say Christian Bale.

Did any of you read the article or just my poor summary? Are none of you interested in how it actually works?

BlackNMild2k1 · « **Reply #31 on:** July 09, 2009, 04:43:03 PM »

just your poor summary, which I didn't know was poor until you said it was.
Now I have to go back and read the actual article..... Don't people quote & bold stuff anymore so we don't have to follow links?

Stogi · « **Reply #32 on:** July 09, 2009, 05:22:24 PM »

It's a 3 page article.

I just skimmed it. will read it later in full, but I didn't see and bite size quote chunks that would explain it yet.

Stogi · « **Reply #34 on:** July 09, 2009, 05:50:52 PM »

Well yeah...that's cuz it tells you step by step how the idea was first thought up to what it is today to what it might become.

EasyCure · « **Reply #35 on:** July 09, 2009, 06:35:03 PM »

I don't remember seeing a link and i'm so lazy right now i don't wanna hit the button to go back to page 1...

i'll read it tomorrow at work.

in the future a small storage drive would be a 1 terabyte thumbdrive, a whopper will cost $72.00

I want one of these: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/science/nature/8147104.stm

Not because I would ride it often, but because I wanna see the look on other drivers faces when I pedal past them in the bike lane, when they are doing the speed limit on the street.

It has a lot of positives, but one big negative $40k.

Nothing a little mass-production wouldn't fix.

Caliban · « **Reply #41 on:** July 13, 2009, 06:46:08 PM »

I'm aware, but without financial back-up such creation isn't going anywhere.

That's awesome. It's about time somebody improved upon the bicycle.

True, but this is exactly what city-goers have been asking for. Everyone hates driving because of two reasons: one, gas costs money, and two, it's hard to find a parking spot. This solves both problem. Sure it's expensive now, but just wait till competition takes hold.

They have had similar things out there before. Where pedaling charged a battery that could you could then switch on, which would take you up a hill for instance. But i do not believe anything that powerful has been unveiled thus far. If i had a spare 40K, I would definitely buy it.

Does a breakthrough in technology count for this thread?

snooping through the power socket

Something you should be aware of -or- Techniques to be used in the next blockbuster spy/heist movie?

That's pretty awesome (and scary), but PS/2 keyboards are a thing of the past. Even my computer that I bought 4 years ago doesn't have any PS/2 ports on it.

Awesome. Ian, you might be interested in this.

Here's an awesome look into the future of what is called the "Sixth Sense." Basically it's a way to constantly interact with the world around you through technology.

I've seen that second link here somewhere (I might have even posted it here) & I was pretty sure I knew what it was as soon as I read your description.

I expect taht tech to be refined down to use some sort up heads up display glasses instead of a projector. Privacy issues and all.
maybe some glasses with an earphone like those Oakleys that Lil Jon was always sportin
