An anonymous reader writes A man identifying himself as Timofiend has posted a detailed walkthrough of how he built an impressive case mod that integrates both a PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 in a computer case mid – turn. He used one of the newer Slim models 360 connected to an ATX power supply, and one of the larger units of the old PS3, with its standard power supply. After arranging the internal cards, to persuade the two optical drives to fit and loading on fans to prevent overheating, it ends with a very cool (and functional!) Mixture of platform games.

An anonymous reader writes E Ink showed up at IFA 2011, with Triton color e-paper, which has exactly the same properties as the monochrome version is in the Kindle (autonomy of two months, without using energy when you display a page as readable as a sheet of paper), adding 4096 colors. We also have the chance to see the E Ink shows, signage, mobile phone and displays a USB key, and the last drink less e – paper inside a credit card. E Ink hopes to use the new plastic substrate in the future e-readers, which means they are thinner, lighter, unbreakable and that those who ship today.

We felt that the Samsung Note Galaxy would be a success on the stage of reference, but now, not surprisingly rapid results are documented. TechBlog Greek site located Quadrant Standard on one of the phone / tablet hybrid demonstration units to IFA 2011 and produced a score of 3624 reference, exactly where we’d expect a brand Sammy 1.4GHz dual-core CPU to finish, by comparison, our review of the 1.2GHz Samsung Galaxy II S produces a result in 3396. Here is the disappointment note Galaxy is expected to top the charts in terms of pricing, so it’s been reported that we should see the device appear in Scandinavia later this year as much as € 715 (1000 $ U.S.). Hope these benchmarks are worth the cost because there is something that can not be denied – it makes the HTC Jetstream feel like a bargain.

If you ever plan to drive a PowerPoint presentation projected on giant whiteboard in orbit around the Earth (we’ll leave the logistics of that one to you) there are only a laser pointer that will do the job – Wicked Lasers S3 Krypton . The Guinness record pending pointer produces about 86 million lux and can be seen from 85 miles away, far beyond the edge of our atmosphere. Of course, about 8000 times the luminosity of the Sun, precautions serious security are necessary during operation of S3. Sunglasses are a must (and comes with the handheld laser), while sensors and a microprocessor adjust the current to keep the aluminum tube from overheating in your hands. The top model is now available for $ 1,000, but if the astronauts blinding is not on your agenda, low-power versions can be had from $ 300. Check out the video after the break.

Librt writes with this excerpt from the BBC: Tanks may soon thank you for a night of invisibility cloaking device that hides their infrared signature developed by BAE Systems, the technology allows vehicles ADAPTIV to mimic the temperature of their environment, it may also .. make a tank look like other objects, like a cow or a car, seen through the heat sensitive areas. The cover-up hi-tech uses hexagonal panels, or pixels, made of a material that can change very quickly the temperature. About 1,000 pixels panels, each 14cm in diameter, are needed to cover a small tank. The panels are controlled by onboard cameras thermal image of the constant temperature environment of the tank. This is projected onto the panels to make it more difficult to place. The cameras can also work when the tank is moving.

Forget crosswords and Krugman, because the New York Times has created a companion like new bathroom much more fun than either of them. Like some of his Snow White style predecessors , the Times’ magic mirror prototype uses Microsoft Kinect to detect and track your movements, while deploying a voice recognition technology to fulfill your orders. With this slab omniscient affixed to your wall, you can surf the Web, browse your closet and send reassuring e-mails to your teenage daughter, you should have driven to school a good 30 minutes before . An RFID reader, meanwhile, can recognize tagged pharmaceuticals or other, allowing you to instantly access information about your prescription drugs, placing them in front of the LCD reflection. You can also use the mirror to navigate through the full slate of Times
articles and video content, which means that you can read about the extravagant weekend getaways and urban gentrification in the comfort of your permanent sink. Unfortunately for all of humanity, the magic mirror is still in the prototype phase and Research of the NYT ‘s and Development Group has yet to propose a timetable for its release – but you can see it in action for you even after the break.

In a profound moment of candor, Amazon billionaire Jeff Bezos revealed that the failure of his mid-air unmanned spaceship 11 days ago was not the result of us wanted. Burning truth of his statement is certainly supported by the fact that NASA has poured millions of dollars of funding in the space company Bezos, Blue Origin, in the hope that people will one day ferry to the ISS and replace the shuttle program scuttled . Indeed, the last craft Blue Origin has looked every inch a shuttle-beater until it suddenly went Beserk at 45,000 feet, forcing the onboard computer to cut power Asimovian and dive nose in the ground in an effort to avoid civilian casualties. Not an ideal result, of course, but Jeff is unlikely to abandon its ambitions starry – everyone knows he has a thing for the thrusters .

We just saw kit First Act karaoke wireless for the IPAD through the FCC, suggesting it could be on track for launch in the fall. The equipment will count for nothing if the soft support of sister company Seven45 Studios strikes a note missed, but we guess it looks pretty functional.

The receiver is on its dock-hogging ways, such as a video output so you can check your words on a bigger screen. It should also save your groans, cries and meows at a distance of up to 20 feet of the micro-AA power.
