This thing is freaking amazing, its made out of metal, can carry up to 8 people, and each “step” takes it 5 feet closer to its enemy, er, destination. It has a 454 Chevy V-8 engine that powers it with the current final drive ration being about 125:1. Read The Full Story

Threat alert Jesus will protect you

, Jan 28th 2008 Discuss [2]

Yeah, Jesus will save you by making sure you know when your ass needs to leave the country in order to live. Combined with color-changing light-up Christ you get a vinyl-bound copy of the Holy Bible and a reading light. Read The Full Story

U.S. Army making use of Apple Mac computers

, Dec 26th 2007 Discuss [0]

Apparently ever since 2005 the Army has slowly been integrating Apple technology into their systems. Not a big deal you might say, but they are doing it for security reasons, which is a new one by me. Read The Full Story

Ustream links families for the holidays

, Dec 17th 2007 Discuss [2]

Nothing is more important than family during the holidays. It’s often a time of depression for people who are without someone dear to them. We all need hope, family and love around this time and that includes the soldiers who are out there fighting and can’t be with us at home. Read The Full Story

Hackers have broken into the two most important science labs in the US

, Dec 7th 2007 Discuss [2]

The first is Oak Ridge National Laboratory, which I assume is somewhere near Oak Ridge Nuclear facility in Tennessee. The second was the Los Alamos National Laboratory, the famous site of the A-Bomb testing and development. Read The Full Story

Microwave Beam Used to Stop Cars Dead

, Dec 4th 2007 Discuss [51]

Eureka Aerospace in Pasadena, California has developed a new way to stop vehicles with drivers that think high speed car cashes are fun. By using the same technology found in microwaves they have created a device that will fry a car’s electrical system and stop it dead in its tracks. Read The Full Story

Send in the Drones

, Nov 29th 2007 Discuss [0]

When your manpower is lacking it’s only plausible to turn to your laboratory to build something or another to do the work you’re incapable of handling. It’s simple (Mad Scientist) logic. So it’s easy to understand why the Miami police have come to this same conclusion. Starting next year, FAA willing, the Miami police force will be using drones to patrol areas during SWAT team and tactical operations. The MAV (Micro Air Vehicle) is made by Honeywell and soar over 10,000 feet. These unmanned units, which the military has been using for sometime, will be controlled via a remote used only by licensed pilots. Read The Full Story

Gun camera tests

, Oct 31st 2007 Discuss [5]

No, it’s not a camera that shoots bullets or a gun that shoots cameras, it’s a camera that mounts onto a gun that the Orange County Sheriff’s department is getting to test. Albeit no the most pleasing task carrying around a gun that will record every shot you make, it could expose how poor your accuracy is, or worse yet show the real serial killer you are. I honestly don’t know what the purpose of this tech is on a day to day basis, unless they want to drive an office mad by making them watch their recent shooting victim slowly have the life leave their body. Other than that it will make YouTube a lot more interesting. Read The Full Story

Halo Rocket Launcher equally fun in real life

, Sep 24th 2007 Discuss [0]

A reader from Gizmodo got the pleasure of toying around with a real life AT4 Anti-Armor Bazooka. It’s made by SAAB and I would assume its hard as hell for a civilian in the US to get their hands on one, but hey, some guys have all the luck. The gentleman described his experience firing the weapon as being “the loudest thing you can imagine” he went on to list other weapons he had fired that are considered quite loud as well to further re-enforce his point of how loud this was. He also said that the air around him heated by what seemed like 50 degrees, that’s pretty amazing. Read The Full Story

A Hacker’s project reconnects our troops in the desert with the outside world again

, Sep 22nd 2007 Discuss [0]

First of all, I just wanted to clarify that hackers are not bad people, furthermore, they are generally not the perpetrators of malicious attacks. What they are, are highly skilled, well educated professionals who are masters of their craft that should be revered for their work, and receive some level of adoration for what they have done for the technology world as a whole, both the software and hardware portions. Now that that’s out of the way, a particular hacker carrying the nick of Deviant Ollam has started sending out hard drives, I assume in enclosures so they can be connected via USB, to our soldiers. The hard drives already have a lot of music and movies, and other media on them, and then the soldiers are supposed to get what they want off of it and then add their music, movies, and more and send it along.

Silent Guardian pain ray gun gets tested by journalist

, Sep 20th 2007 Discuss [0]

Why is it that these journalists are always willing to jump in front of all these non-lethal weapons? This past year it was all the new tazers they came out with, now its military and police riot control weapons, how dumb are these guys? Regardless, another one of them was willing to hop in front of the Army’s latest, a ray gun not of death, just intense pain. Its called Silent Guardian, and they hate it when you call their ray gun a ray gun. It has a range of half a mile, which means you should be able to see it just before it brings you to your knees with so much pain some Excedrin just won’t cut it. Read The Full Story
