As expected, Intel has rolled out its first dual-core Celeron processors, bringing the low-end and often-derided processor line up a few notches and quite possibly making quad-core the new dual-core once and for all. The first of those processors to hit hte market is the 1.6GHz E1200 model, which relies on the slightly less-desirable 65-nanometer manufacturing process and boasts 512K bytes of

A digital video recorder with built-in micro camera and high quality recorder disguised as a belt buckle that could make Chuck Norris proud? My life is now complete. Thanks to Ajoka and their full-color, sound-enabled Buckle DVR, now you too can be an spy, a private dick and a Geek Squad technician.

For centuries, a college education meant "going away to school". It meant ivy-encrusted campuses, dorms and fraternities, and all-nighters at the library cramming for a chemistry test. But recently, prospective students are facing a new kind of college experience - online education. The purpose of this article is to inform students about some of the potential benefits of this new kind of college

Researchers at Berlin's Bernstein Center for Computational Neuroscience have created the ultimate gadget, a device that can read people's minds. The donut-shaped contraption is basically a souped up MRI that scans the prefrontal cortex region of your brain (which is where decisions are made) and then predicts actions before you make them. So far, the machine's been tested on 21 people and its

Apparently being able to navigate through city streets and public transportation isn't enough … now seeing eye dogs are being trained to use ATMs for their disabled masters.Wait a minute, what the hell? Dogs using ATM machines? What if they eat the money? And what about touchscreen ATMs, do those react well to paws? And can a dog really stick a card into the slot using just their mouths? So many

The Hole - video powered by MetacafeWow. Now this is an idea that could pick-up: a mini fridge with a catapult on top and an automatic beer launcher. Now you don’t have to get up off the couch!The cool part is that it’s very small and incredibly accurate. Constructed for "several hundred dollars," John Cornwell's Beer-Launching Fridge consists of three limit switches, a 10-beer-holding magazine

It's the Chinese year of the pig, so maybe that's why we're seeing so many piggy banks and pig-themed stuff lately, but the DigiBank from Keian takes piggy banking a step into the geek zone. It's smart enough to recognize which coins are dropped into it, dutifully counting them and showing you a running total on its LCD display. And look, you can choose between a pink little piggy and a

Mozilla announced the release of Firefox 3 alpha 2 this morning. The new release follows Mozilla’s semi-regular 6 week test release pattern and in no way represents a finished product, but I decided to download the new alpha and see how things were coming along.There are still major issues. I haven’t had any stability problems, but there are bad memory leaks. Gran Paradiso, as Firefox 3 is code

Amazing oragami creations (video below) by master origamist Satoshi Kamiya. Hard to believe, but each of the pieces shown in this video was folded from a single sheet of paper. The red dragon, made from a 1.2 x 1.2 meter sheet, took only 6 hours to fold. The yellow hornet was commissioned by luxury retailer Hermes and was put on display in their New York store. The white dragon is fashioned from

As first-time fliers take to India's skies, new budget airlines are reportedly dealing with all kinds of problems -- like passengers trying to open the doors while the planes are moving. The Times of India cited a security report Friday saying that pilots had even had to make an emergency landing in one incident when passengers stood outside the cockpit disturbing them. "First-time fliers are

I know you are dying to know what problems the new O.S. has right? Of course, if you are going to shovel out $250.00 to buy it, you will want to know what the problems with Microsoft Vista are. What I have done, is search the net as well as used my experiences with the software to create a composite list and description of the different problems expected with Microsoft Vista. Keep in mind that

Now that Windows Vista has officially launched and is available to consumers, everybody's talking about it. Unfortunately, a lot of what I'm hearing--from both Windows fans and the ABM (Anybody But Microsoft) crowd--needs to be taken with a grain of salt. In many cases, what the information lacks in accuracy, it makes up for in sensationalism. But how do you sort through all the hype and get a

Lest there be any doubt, the science of robotics isn't being used only to produce novelty toys or to populate Japan's service industry. This robotic skeleton, by contrast, has been developed by Japanese researchers with a decidedly humanitarian goal: to help the partially paralyzed regain movement.

A little over 130 years later, BMW is testing the theory with an innovative internal combustion engine that burns the lightest element much like gasoline, only cleaner. BMW is the only major carmaker to bring a car with a hydrogen-combustion engine beyond the prototype stage. The automaker's approach is markedly different than the more familiar concept of hydrogen-powered fuel cells, where
