These days, some devices give you the option of protecting the contents of a memory card with a password. That is fine and dandy until it comes time to recall the password and you realize that you have forgotten it; you are stuck with a bricked card and your data is trapped. That is unless you have a USB Memory Unlock. The gadget won’t be able to retrieve your data but it will be able to scrub your card so that you can use it again. All you do is plug the device into a USB port, stick your card into the slot and wait for the LED to flash; memory card unlocked sans data.

Combining Lego with chess is almost too much awesomeness for regular folks to handle. This is one of the coolest models that Lego has put together in a long time. According to the Lego website:

Includes 31 minifigures, 2 giant trolls, 2 horses, 2 skeleton horses and 2 dragon heads!

Minifigures are ready for battle with armor, swords, shields, and other cool accessories!

It’s a battle of good dwarves and knights vs. evil trolls and skeletons!

Build the 4 realms in the corners of the chess board - the skeleton realm, troll realm, dwarf realm and castle realm!

Measures 17″ (43cm) squared!

As you might imagine, a Lego chess set like this one does not come cheaply. You will be paying approximately $300, a lot of money for something that you have to build yourself; but that is part of the attraction. With 2481 pieces, it is going to take a while to build.

Available for pre-order from July 1st at Lego.com.

This is a Kuka robot which is used for a range of industrial applications. Kuka makes a wide range of robots that can set you back anything from about $10,000 to a lot depending on the model that you choose. According to the guys at US Mechatronics, the Kuka is very responsive to serial inputs; so they did the logical and responsible thing. They hooked the Kuka up to a Wii Remote stuck a tennis racquet in its hand and hit some balls with the thing. Then being the wild and crazy guys that they are, they armed it with a broadsword and had some real fun.
