13 Cool Transformer Robots

Transformers (robots changing into cars and vice versa) is a cartoon which I grow up watching and I believe have fascinated many kids too.

There are 13 transformers here which can switch from robot mode to vehicle mode at the push of a button. Some of the robots can navigate as the “vision” comes from a camera and can even dance.

Hopefully, this compilation can satiate your passion for these gadgets.

Do you know that the expensive “sheep’s milk’’ cheese could be made from cow’s milk? Your 100% pure honey sold at a premium price could also be diluted with sugar beets or corn syrup. And a jar of “Sturgeon caviar’’ was actually Mississippi paddlefish.

The above food fraud are not new. In fact, such deception has been happening since Roman times, but it is raising alarm bells now as more products are imported and the economy is getting more competitive.

Sources in the US food industry says federal regulators are not doing enough to combat food fraud. Fortunately, recent technology development of may change things for the better.

High tech tools like DNA testing has made it easier to detect food fraud that might have gone unnoticed a decade ago. DNA can be extracted from cells of fish and meat and technicians then identify the species by comparing the DNA with a database of samples.

Police gets special metal detecting kit

Police in the UK will have their safety enhanced during the course of their work with a new metal detecting kit known as the e-Glove. This device is strapped around one’s hand, where it will detect a suspect during a pat down whether there are metal objects under his clothes – ranging from switchblades to knives and any other potentially nasty surprise. Priced at 100 quid a pop, it will vibrate silently whenever it detects any metal. Currently, the e-Glove is on trial at the Leicestershire Police Station in the UK and will soon be handed out to bobbies all over the UK once the trial period is over.

HP’s iPad comparison misses the point

In an apparent bid to ease its employees’ concerns about the iPad, HP showed them how its forthcoming tablet computer compared with Apple’s device. Assuming the specs are genuine – and the gadget blogs discussing them appear to think that they are – it shows a misunderstanding of just what makes the iPad special.

In a side-by-side comparison of specs, HP points out areas where it has the “advantage” over the iPad and areas where Apple poses a “threat”. HP’s advantages include a faster processor, a card reader slot and not one but two cameras. Apple does better on screen resolution, battery life and price, however……

All of that seems to ignore the biggest problem HP – and Microsoft – will have in establishing the PC tablet and that’s the ecosystem surrounding it. The operating system the iPad uses has been designed specifically as a touch screen interface. The HP Slate uses “Windows 7 Home Premium + HP touch-optimized UI”. That just doesn’t fill me with confidence.

What’s more, Apple’s iPhone and iPod Touch have ‘trained’ millions of people to use the iPad OS and helped to establish a store full of games and apps that can be used on it.

The specs for the Slate look impressive but I don’t believe consumers are very sensitive to specs. Apple seems to understand that in a way PC manufacturers don’t.

Nokia Making a Tablet Too

TAG Heuer and Tesla Motors

The Tesla Roadster runs on batteries, and so too do (many) TAG Heuer watches. It’s out of this obvious correlation that the TAG Heuer Tesla Roadster was born, a one-off special edition skinned in some unfortunate graphics then blessed with an extra slot in the center console for a similarly spendy Meridiist phone. There’s also

Apple’s A4 chip: less is more?

Although early erroneous reports placed Apple’s custom A4 chip at the leading edge of ARM-based design, things are slowly falling back to earth. First, we learned that the graphics subsystem was almost certainly the same PowerVR SGX component found in the iPhone, and now Ars Technica reports that the actual CPU is the familiar single-core

Smartphone GPS shootout: Google, Ovi, and Verizon go head-to-head
It wasn’t long ago that getting somewhere required a map on paper. You know, something you bought or that came groaning out of your tired old printer.
