TouchPico: Turn Any Surface Into A Touch Screen
The TouchPico is a compact, Android PC with a built-in projector. This isn’t your regular projector, though, the TouchPico projects a touchscreen onto any flat surface, which makes it perfect for presentations, education and, of course, entertainment. Projectors are cool. They take something that’s normally small or constricted and blow it up to 100 times its original size. Traditionally, projectors have been very clunky and unimaginative. But, thanks to technical innovation, engineers have shrunk processors and chips into a very bite-sized package. We now have tiny smartphones, and now pocketable PCs.
IBM's New Supercomputing Chip Mimics The Human Brain With Very Little Power
A lot has changed in the three years since IBM first unveiled a prototype of its human brain-inspired SyNAPSE (Systems of Neuromorphic Adaptive Plastic Scalable Electronics) chip. That single-core prototype has now been significantly scaled up, leading to a new, production-ready SyNAPSE chip that blows past its predecessor with 1 million neurons, 256 million synapses and 4,096 neurosynaptic cores, all the while only requiring 70mW of power. Though the numbers are impressive, it's what they translate to that holds even greater prominence: the ability for devices to process various sensory data in parallel just like the human brain, by merging memory and computing.
Dubai Plans Mall of the World, the First Ever ‘Temperature Controlled City’

It means you have a hit on your hands, and that’s what happened to a French company called Giroptic, which makes the 360cam, a 360-degree panorama camera.
Airdog Drone Serves As Your Loyal Action Sports Cameraman
The battle in the skies this week is the autonomous action-sports drone apparently. Why? Because, what if you want to be the star in your as yet un-made aerial epic? With a regular drone that's a tricky one. You could film yourself, as you stand flying the drone, but where's the fun in that? Airdog is a quadcopter drone that follows you, using GPS and movement tracking to keep up as you get down (the slope, or whatever). Action camera selfie videos are cool and all, but wouldn't an epic aerial shot following you carving through fresh powder snow, or riding that killer wave, or heck, even scuba diving be so much better? Airdog promises exactly that. And more.
The 2015 Model X Will Be Tesla’s Gift To Families
Good things come to those who wait, ladies. Tesla’s all-wheel-drive Model X SUV was announced last year, but due to a number of production delays, we won’t be seeing it until spring 2015. Those issues should give the company time to hone the car for its target audience: women and families, according to a report by Ecomento.
Google's Self-Driving Car Project A Big Hit With Drivers

Taking A Little Time Out To Have Fun, Being Creative And Otherwise Dream.
Wouldn't it be amazing if you could control the effects of gravity? Then wouldn't it be equally amazing if we could use that technology to fly, like a type of gravity drive?
Sometimes it’s fun just to daydream and imagine different possibilities. This brings out an interesting point. I believe that, if necessity is the mother of all invention, imagination is the father of all invention.
Could One Man Really Make A Difference And Change The World?
I would change the world if given the chance. How? At the turn of the century there were forces at work that would have given you and everyone else under the sun the ability to have free energy for all of their appliances. Imagine just plugging a light bulb into the ground to get it to work. Imagine not having a electric bill at all. Nikola Tesla, was the man who would have made it happen, if he were rich.
