Gone but not forgotten: New Firmware Update for range of Toshiba HD-DVD players
I know what you’re thinking, why bother with Format pronounced death eight long months ago? After all, only millions of obsolete HD-DVD players left after Toshiba pulled the plug on the Format War. Not so, those with HD DVD players can still use these to play legacy DVDs and upconvert them to HD resolutions. I still have the A35 remains on the component shelf and continue to upscale a gorgeous image. My only concerns are playback stability since day one and 1080/24p jagging issues on AVC material and I never thought Toshiba would address the issues with continues firmware updates after losing the Format War.

Metal Gear Solid DIY rubber-band gun
It only fires rubber bands, but you'd be forgiven for thinking this fan-made replica of Snake's pistol from Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots was a lot more dangerous. Hand-made, it loads by cocking open the top section and threading elastic bands - up to twelve - onto the ratchet wheel; flip off the safety catch and you can either fire them one at a time or in rapid-succession.

Electric Field RAM memory could be faster, more energy efficient
Japanese scientists have discovered a method of changing magnetic domains - such as those used in RAM and hard-drives - using magnetic fields rather than the current process of electromagnets, in a system that could see storage become faster and more energy efficient. Magnetic domains, tiny regions inside magnetic materials that behave as individual magnets and can be flipped from north to south, are currently manipulated by an electromagnet, encoding binary 1 or 0. With the new system that electromagnet is bypassed: applying voltage to a nearby electrode creates an electric field that shifts the domains.
