Sand Flea robot jumps like its namesake

by Edwin - on March 30th, 2012 One of the fantastic facts that you would have come across while growing up would be this ? a flea is capable of jumping up many times its own height, and is the Olympic champion in the animal world when it comes to high jump events. And if one were to take a closer look at the technological achievements that humanity have gone through over the years, many of them were inspired by nature and the study of it. Flight, for example, is the dream of man taking to the skies like our feathered friends, although I am quite sure the Wright brothers were not angry when they first achieved the feat. Robots have certainly come a long way since their inception, although there is still a whole lot of work to be done when...

Take photos with your fingers thanks to the Ubi-Camera

by Edwin - on March 29th, 2012 You remember when you were a little kid, and there was no such thing as digital cameras back then? Most of the time, when our parents wanted to snap photos of their exuberant and energy filled children running around, a stern shout is required to make sure we all stop in our tracks, tuck in our shirts, straighten out ourselves and pose in front of the camera. Dad would then use his hands to ?frame? a particular shot, by making an L-shape with his thumb and pointing finger on both hands, merging them into a rectangle, followed by clicking on the shutter button. Who would have thought that such a physical act would finally end up in the 21st century as a gesture that might just kick start the way we shoot photos?...

Windows Phone 7 on Your Android Phone

I am not exactly sure why I have been playing around with my phones so much lately, but it is fun to�drastically�change your phone?s appearance from time to time.

Amazon to Launch 3 New Kindle Fire Tablets in 2012, But No 10-Inch Slate

Rumors of new Kindle Fire tablet models from Amazon are surfacing yet again, and the Internet giant is speculated to launch several models this year as an update to the current debut 7-inch slate that launched late last year.

With the Kindle Fire refresh, Amazon will be debuting two seven-inch tablet versions at differing price points and will be adding a high-end 8.9-inch tablet.

Nintendo Wii U Close to Current Gen Consoles, Says Darksiders 2 Dev

It looks like Nintendo are more than content to stay behind the technological curve with their ?next-gen? console as well, banking on the success of the console?s tablet controller to carry it through. Darksiders 2 developer Vigil has been putting the Wii U through its paces and while it?s certainly a lot more capable than its predecessor, it doesn?t seem to have stunned them with its graphical prowess. ?We got the game running on their hardware pretty quickly, and the controller?s been great to work with,? according to Darksiders 2�director Marvin Donald.�Now it?s just down to deciding what we really want to do to make it a unique experience on the Wii U; taking advantage of the extra screen and the touch capability and all that.

AT&T Galaxy S II Android 4.0 Update Gets Closer to Rolling Out

Just a few short days ago, the Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich update for the Galaxy S II Skyrocket leaked out, a build that we think is pretty close to, if not the final version of the software itself.

Yes, the Galaxy S II Android 4.0 update has arrived and it appears that it too could be the real deal. RootzWiki has leaked the software to the surface and it?s directly from Samsung. While this is great for those that root their phones, it?s also fantastic for those that are waiting for the official roll out as that date has seemingly gotten closer with this find. Those who own a rooted Galaxy S II on AT&T should...

Rumor: Google Drive Coming This April

We all know Google Drive exists. It?s in the works, at the very least. But Giga OM has allegedly learned, from a close source, that it?s close to being finished. And, more than that, it?s close ? close enough to launch in the first week of April. We?re not sure what to make of the claim, but crazier things have happened. The cloud storage service is said to be bringing users 1GB of free storage, with an option of expanding storage if you pay. Box.net, DropBox ? sort of like that. The difference with Google Drive, however, are the APIs Google?s planning on providing. They will allow other apps to store files in a user?s Google Drive account. Their report also states it will be available for Google Apps customers. No word on how the Android...

Google Voice Integration Expanding to Non-Sprint Customers

Nearly a year ago, Sprint announced that it will offer seamless Google Voice integration, allowing customers to use their carrier-assigned phone number as their Google Voice number or allowing customers to replace their Sprint number with one from Google. The tie-in allows customers to manage one number and get transcribed voicemails and text messages from their carrier, which would either cost a premium or may not be offered. The downside is that picture messaging may not always work as Google Voice does not yet support that feature for all carriers. Now, Google is looking to expand its carrier integration to more carriers beyond Sprint. Though Google did not expand on what carriers it was having discussions with, the company did say that...

Animal Footprint Shoes: Seem Like Bears Are Roaming The Cities

One of the common outdoor activities typically done right after a snow drizzle especially for kids, is playing and forming invented imagery with snow. However, for a Canadian artist like Maskull Lasserre, this season is for a lot more. The beauty of this scenery held him to expand his imagination and create an innovative thought. Hence, this idea has turned into a not-so-usual intended design for pairs of shoes. Perhaps, this solo artist is an animal lover or a great fun enthusiast, and so he formed ordinary shoe soles into animal footprints. These foot wears are basically seem like regular shoes but with altered soles. This then create a different view when using them in snow or soft land. It?s like leaving realistic animal footprints on...
