CubeBrowser Brings Images From the Internet Onto a Cube

, Aug 16th 2010 Discuss [0]

The CubeBrowser is designed to bring images from the cloud, or online, right to your hands. This isn't just a normal picture frame. Not at all. Instead of just putting it on a desk somewhere and forgetting about it, you're meant to hold it in your hand, turn it over, and look at the six-sided device as new images are displayed based on your actions.

, Aug 9th 2010 Discuss [3]

As far as we can tell, the look and feel of the standard street bike is going to change drastically between now, and five years from now. With each and every concept we see make its way to the public eye, they get more extravagant, and feature-enabled. This time around, the Ostoure street bike, which takes quite a few aesthetic approaches from sources like Persepolis, along with plenty of one-eyed robotic fictional characters out there.

When technology can help someone, we immediately have to jump on board. And, when technology can be used to help something as important as a firefighter, there's no doubt in our minds that we have to give it as much attention as possible.
