Note: This is a review of the Eyefinity function on the AMD (formerly ATI) 6950, the card has been reviewed ad-nauseam and is still (when properly flashed to a 6970 BIOS) in the top 5 of the performance cards list so I will not go into the details or benchmark the card. All of us who are computer enthousiasts probably have at least one or two spare LCD panel monitors lying around, and because it [...]
If you like Lego and love everyone’s favorite feisty little droid, then this might be the enormous Lego model you were looking for. The Ultimate Collector Series R2-D2 is made from 2,100 pieces of Lego. It has a couple of moving parts: a rotating head, a retractable third leg, and a bunch of onboard tools all tucked away in the appropriate places. It would be nice to have seen it automated, maybe radio controlled, but [...]
Finnish virgins would appear to love their really fast slot cars. Seriously though, the speed at which these things move is crazy and needs to be seen to be believed. Note the weird head bobbing thing they do to keep their eyes on their cars. [Geekologie]

All you need to make this cute papercraft R2-D2 dreidel is some glue, tape, scissors, card stock and a pencil or straw. It looks like fun for everyone; regardless of religion or lack thereof. [StarWars.com [pdf] via Chip Chick]

This little kid proves his bad-ass credentials by removing one of his (loose) teeth by tying it to a Nerf arrow and firing it across the room. While it is not quite as spectacular as the rocket-aided tooth extraction we saw a while back, there would seem to be more potential for things to go painfully wrong so probably required more in the way of guts.

If you are looking for a toy for that special kid of any age on your Xmas list, any toy featured below in our 2011 edition will make you an instant favorite in their eyes. The Ride On Water Shooting Fire Truck This very cool ride-on fire truck has a [...]
The OVO-4 Home Flight Simulator lets you stick a fully functional ovoid training unit anywhere you have the space. It offers turbulence effects, a real 5-position engine ignition switch, a 3-screen dashboard to give the illusion of sitting in a real cockpit. The software side of things is taken care of by Microsoft Flight Simulator. So how much does it cost? At around $57,000 it isn’t cheap, but for a hardcore simulator like this that [...]
The Bryan Ku Pillow Fight collection includes a number of items that don’t find their way into conventional pillow fights, namely: Light sabers, scimitars, double sided viking axes, nunchucks, ninja stars and grenades. No word on pricing, or if these are even available, or if the evil Emperor Palpatine George Lucas has a problem with the light saber cushions. [Bryan Ku via Technabob]
It was an iPhone 4s moment, where everyone at first is stunned, then disappointed, then later everyone feels silly for having felt disappointed over something that’s never been done before, and all that because it simply runs with a propeller. Sure, it looks eerily like the light saber practice drone in Star Wars, and I suppose everyone there might have been disappointed for not having been shot with a tiny laser, and I must point [...]
This laser-cut wooden face lets you change its emotions between a range of options that include: “happy”, “angry”, “sad” and “surprised” – or if you are interested in spending a little more money and buying the rest of the emotion disks: “bashful”, “sorry”, “whisper”, and “maybe”… I didn’t know that sorry, whisper and maybe were emotions. Price: $29.50 [Technabob]
This video shows you how the right combination of physics, automotive engineering and cajones is capable of taking on our wildest eleven-year-old dreams and turning them into nightmarish reality. Tanner Foust, heretofore known as the Team Hot Wheels Yellow Driver, pulled an incredible jump for the Indianapolis 500 – therein smashing the previous record of 301 feet that had been set by truck jumper Johnny Greaves. To put that in perspective, the man jumped 28 [...]
If you’ve ever seen somebody riding a Segway and thought to yourself, “There’s no way any form of transportation could possibly look more nerdy,” you were wrong. Enter the Gyroscopic Electric Unicyle. Using the same gyroscope technology as the Segway, this clever contraption senses your distribution of weight, accelerating and stopping in response. As a kicker, the vehicle is entirely hands-free and folds up to the size of a rather large and awkwardly round briefcase, [...]
