Lexus Unveils It’s Brand New “Hoverboard” (Video)
August 25, 2015
Other hoverboard vids we’ve posted to date have been less than or different than what sci-fi has us expecting – like not that ‘real’ Marty McFly board we’ve been looking forward to. But this video is showing skateboarders riding and getting dumped, grinding rails and making jumps! Hey, if it walks, talks and squawks like a duck, it must be, right? Oh wait, this thing can ride across water??? Sh!t it can ‘hover’ like a duck? Incredible!
We’ve made the impossible, possible: The Lexus Hoverboard is here… The Lexus Hoverboard represents true innovation and imagination, together pushing the boundaries of technology even further.

Too Far To Walk? Nowhere To Park? WalkCar Lets You Ride In And Take Your ‘Ride’ With You (Video)
August 19, 2015
Wow! Are you seeing this? It’s like they’ve almost figured out a futuristic George Jetson car; one that you can ride to work and carry into the office. Now, if they could only make it fly (like this one here). WalkCar is the world’s smallest electric car, as small as a laptop. Super cool transportation tech! You steer it with your body movements; so it’s not a big effort to learn to operate. This could be the biggest thing is small vehicles EVER!
Soon to start fundraising via Kickstarter. Pre-orders for WalkCar will be taken starting October 2015.
Hmm… Did I say “could” be the biggest…? Nah, this WILL be huge! For more on this compact, powerful mini-vehicle innovation from Tokyo’s Cocoa Motors, visit the company website www.cocoamotors.com

Technology: This ‘Spider Car’ Will Conquer Any Terrain With Ease (Video)
August 5, 2015
Talk about independent suspension! How about doing that on all four tires?! That’s right. Check out the latest from Mecanroc – the Swincar, a pendular offroad electric 4×4 ALL TERRAIN vehicle. And they REALLY mean it this time! Watch this concept vehicle in action.

Living In A Small Apartment Or Dorm? Soon You Can Do Your Laundry With A Drumi (Video)
August 4, 2015
College students, apartment dwellers, boarders… anyone who doesn’t have space for a washer and dryer, or convenient access to a laundromat, the Drumi – a sustainable, miniature washing machine – could be the small sensible solution you need. Household design company Yirego put out a video of a working model. You put in detergent and water (per the clothes label instructions), add a small load of garments, close it, and spin the clothes clean using foot pedal power. Nice! Watch the vid.
When this Drumi is finally commercially available (pre-order now for $169 US plus shipping for delivery around July 2016 here), hardcore environmentalists will likely have something to say about this plastic product… and landfills. But c’mon, this is cool tech! Saves cash on the power bill (and with enough folks using it, reduces reliance on electricity from coal-fired plants).

‘Legal Equalizer’ App To Help You Know Your Rights And Protect You In Encounters With Police (Video)
August 3, 2015
“This app is something that we truly believe in…that’s going to make things more equal for everybody. That’s the point of this app. We want people to know their rights. We want people to have their friends and family contacted…when they have any kind of interaction with law enforcement officers.”
– Mbye Njie
This is the type of thing apps should be doing. Music, movies and games are fine; but how about securing your liberty. Think about it: Your rights are your RIGHTS, but only if you remember to invoke them! And will you remember your rights when local law enforcement is tapping on your window during a ‘routine’ traffic stop? The police are trained to get information from suspects they might otherwise withhold; but you should NOT be treated like a suspect if you are not. Cops would certainly not mind a little leeway in dealing with a ‘tough arrest.’ Perhaps knowing their curbside investigation is being recorded – and that your friends, family and/or lawyer has been notified – is better for EVERYBODY… the peace officers AND the people they’re sworn to PROTECT and serve.
And what if you are detained or taken into custody? With this Legal Equalizer app, you can be reminded of what the authorities can and cannot do or ask. It would probably comfort you a bit to also know that you won’t spend time in a squad car station without your folks knowing AND knowing where you are (yes, the app will send the location to whomever you designate as well).
Bravo, Mr. Njie for taking huge steps to bring technology to this fight for our lives! Want to help? Watch the above update video, and check out the GoFundMe page for the Legal Equalizer.

Concept video above. Conceptualized a few years back, continuously improved since, the iFlex model is Hankook’s airless tire. And it may now be very close to production. Durable, stable, able to reach speeds of 130 km/h (or 81 mph), easier to produce, using recycled material, and promising no more flat tires to the consumer market really soon.
“Aiming to strengthen our technological leadership in the global tire market, we will continue to develop cutting edge eco-friendly and future-oriented tires.â€

Yup, the car of the future will need some ‘new shoes’… and Hankook working on bringing ’em out like Jordans… now!

Nas – Obey Your Thirst (Documentary)
July 1, 2015
Nas will get to tell his full Sprite documentary story – that is, it is set to drop – July 1, 2015.
“There was nothing more important to me than having a voice,” says Nas in the above trailer for his Obey Your Thirst documentary. “I always believed that I could give people my ideas through art.” Considering how mythologized he’s become thanks to his virtuosic lyricism — which earned him a spot 20 years ago in his classic 1997 Sprite ad — it’s a trip to hear what originally drove him to break into the world of Hip-Hop.
Just more evidence that the smart money is on the G.O.D.M.C. Always has been. Sprite’s known for 20+ years. Others have been catching up. Catch the trailer documentary above.

Marshawn Lynch’s ‘Skittles’ Super Bowl Press Conference (Video)
January 29, 2015
Marshawn Lynch gives an exclusive Skittles press conference to discuss the most pressing issues in football.
Leave the brother alone, won’t you? Just trying to ‘not get fined’ – showing up and saying as little as possible – but noooo… they keep inviting (read: forcing) him to go to press conference after press conference. Here’s another… supposedly assembled to discuss football topics… but…

Park And Fly: AeroMobil 3.0 Is A Real Flying Car For Real People (Video)
December 22, 2014
Keep on thinking they only have flying cars in cartoons and movies… until one flies overhead. Probably inspired by sci-fi, the AeroMobil 3.0 (made in Slovakia) is an idea that has been in development since 1989. With a max airspeed of 124 mph and max range of 430 miles (on a full tank), this flying car could make short work of daily commutes or make short vacation getaways very workable. AeroMobil’s ultimate flying machine is most ‘unreal’ in the way it is made for real people; uses regular fuel from gas stations and can be parked in regular spaces.
For real. Take a look.

Tony Hawk Hoverboard (Video)
November 20, 2014
Alright, the last viral hoverboard video was a hoax, and Tony Hawk was in on it. But this ish right here… apparently the real deal. Arx Pax has invented the world’s first hoverboard (called the “Hendoâ€). Four hover engines on the bottom of the Hendo Hoverboard help produce a magnetic field over a conductive surface like aluminum or copper, causing the futuristic machine to hover an inch above ground. Top speed: 15 mph (according to TMZ).

Audi Unveils the World’s Fastest Driverless Car with New ‘Audi RS 7’ (Video)
October 22, 2014
Hmmm. It’s okay to admit. When you think driverless car, you think top speed… about as fast as say… a golf cart. Tell you what. How about a German-engineered driving machine, with no driver, moving at full speed? How about at RACING speed; like on a racetrack? Yeah, that happened; the Audi RS 7 did a driverless lap at Hockenheim raceway! Watch.

Tesla Unveils ‘Autopilot’ Function To Make Its Cars Driverless (Video)
October 16, 2014
Elon Musk (you know, the dude after whom the makers of the ‘Iron Man’ movies modeled Tony Stark) says the D series of Tesla’s Model S sedan will be out soon; and he is gunning to put autonomous cars on the road by 2023.
I think we’ll be able to achieve true autonomous driving, where you could literally get in the car, go to sleep and wake up at your destination.
– Elon Musk
Now, take it easy, it is expected to take two to three years after release for regulators to approve the autonomous cars for use in public. Still, the company demo’d its autopilot feature at a media event outside Los Angeles a little over a week ago.
(More video after the jump.)
