In his videoblog, Mr Medvedev spoke about the lack of real competition in the political arena, heavily dominated by the pro-Kremlin United Russia party. “This stagnation is equally damaging to both the ruling party and the opposition forces,” he said.

Is a full-size DeLorean ( time machine or otherwise) a bit out of your budget? Then you might want to consider Flash Rods’ latest 1:18 scale replica, which not only faithfully reproduces the DeLorean Time Machine (complete with Mr. Fusion reactor from Back to the Future II ), but actually packs a 500GB Seagate hard drive inside to give you some justification for actually having it on your desk. Of course, it will cost a considerable premium over a regular 500GB hard drive, but we can certainly think of plenty of worse ways to spend $250. Flash Rods’ DeLorean hard drive: $250, 500 jigabytes! originally appeared on Engadget on Wed, 24 Nov 2010 07:20:00 EDT. Please see our terms for use of feeds . Permalink

Wahey, another day another theoretical display that will revolutionize the world, this time one that fits right in with your disposable, capitalistic lifestyle. Researchers at the University of Cincinnati have found a new way to utilize electrowetting , modifying the water repellency forces of a given surface to move colored ink and create a reflective display — a technique that has long been the domain of Liquavista . This new version of that technique enables the creation of e-paper on actual paper, requiring no glass or fancy circuitry and, in theory, creating displays nearly as cheaply as magazines are printed today, opening the door to disposable e-readers and the like. No word on when such devices might be available outside of a lab, but we’ll go ahead anyway and take this opportunity to remind you should always recycle your high-tech future e-readers.
