The Elektra One electric airplane

The Elektra One electric airplane

by Mark R - on March 30, 2011

Considering the big move of getting all of our cars to be electric, I guess it was only a matter of time before our planes went electric too.
NASA has recently sponsored a CAFE Green Flight Challenge, and this Elektra One is the PC-Aero entry. The plane is a single-seater aircraft, and it completed its main flight of 500 meters high and then quickly landing, all on batteries. On its second flight, the Elektra One stayed in the air for about half and hour.
Yeah, that doesn’t seem long in today’s world of flying, and 3 hours of flight time for a speed of 160 kph doesn’t seem that long either. Aren’t we saying that about electric-powered vehicles a few years ago?

Navteq to use their maps in select Panasonic Lumix cameras

by Edwin - on March 31, 2011

Navteq is definitely a name that many of you have heard of before if you’re familiar with GPS navigation devices, as the company does offer its fair share of maps that ain’t too shabby to say the least. Well, the world of consumer electronics does seem to move towards another level of convergence with digital cameras, too, entering the GPS fray.
Of course, we already have geotagging going on for some time, but the newest Panasonic LUMIX DMC-TZ20/ZS10 and DMC-FT3/TS3 digital cameras will benefit from Navteq’s map and location content.
The cameras mentioned are the latest members of Panasonic’s acclaimed Lumix Series of digital cameras, where with the help of Navteq, you can geographically organize your photos in an effortless manner, letting you determine the exact location of where the photo was taken and when.

Guzzini Espresso Coffee Machine

There is nothing quite like waking up early in the morning to a nice, steaming hot cup of coffee. Of course, it takes a seasoned hand to know how to make a good cuppa, but then again a good machine would also probably do its part in the process. The Guzzini Espresso Coffee Machine that will come in both red and white color choices is now available for pre-order, and it isn’t an April Fool’s joke when it ships on April 1st for £134.99 each.
Experience an eye-opening dose of a perfectly brewed cup of coffee in the morning with the Guzzini Espresso Coffee Machine, where it is not only simple to use, it is also small and extremely tasteful in design. Capable of accommodating freshly ground coffee and ESE pods, the Guzzini would be comfortable residing in just about any kitchen, regardless of whether it is an apartment or a huge landed piece of property.

Hasbro My3DNow comes to the iPhone

by Mark R - on April 1st, 2011

If you grew up in the seventies, you might remember a toy known as a Viewmaster.
If you don’t remember it, it sort of looked like this My3DNow that you see here, except instead of sticking an iPhone in front of the binocular viewer, you stuck this circular reel, and you could see still images in 3D.
I guess since many people are demanding 3D for their movies and home content, it was only a matter of time before someone perfected it for the iPhone. If nothing else, this should tide you over until the iPhone does get a glasses-free 3D screen. (I’m sure that will happen eventually if these glasses-free 3D mobile phone screens make it big.)
The plan for the My3DNow is to get programs with 3D content on the iPhone, and then view it with these along with headphones. I wonder how Avatar will look on these, but it will probably not be as good as the theater.
If you want to get the My3DNow from Hasbro, then you should be able to get to Target on April 3rd for a price of about $35. If you want, you can get more information and even possibly pre-order it at My3DNow.com.
