We were plenty impressed when we saw the initial tests of AeroVironment’s robo-hummingbird — now officially dubbed the Nano Hummingbird — but we can’t say they quite prepared us for the final product that the DARPA -funded company is now showing off. Not only does the bot look and fly like a real hummingbird (at least if you don’t look too closely ), but it packs a built-in camera and a downlink of some sort that’s capable of transmitting live video. According to the company, the hummingbird’s also able to hover for up to eight minutes, reach speeds of eleven miles per hour in forward flight, and remain stable in wind gusts of five miles per hour — not to mention make a perfect landing. Head on past the break to check it out in action — it may well be one of the few chances you’re actually able to see one in the wild.

We were quite bedazzled by the HTC Incredible S after our hands-on at MWC , but it’s the auto-rotating icons for the capacitive buttons that left us most intrigued. So we went back to the HTC booth to try to make sense of it all. From what we were able to observe, there’s some optical trickery happening here: the icons appear to be glittering and shimmering depending on viewing angle as if lit through a prism, half-mirror or grate of some kind. We think that a pair of LED s are used to project the intended icon onto the glass surface via either a combination of prisms and half-mirrors, or via horizontally and vertically polarized grates. Watch our video after the break, and let us know in the comments how you think this actually works. Continue reading HTC Incredible S auto-rotating buttons explained?

February 18, 2011 No Comment
Recently, Glenn Beck has been predicting that socialists would seize on the unrest in Egypt in order to promote revolution in the United States. There may be no better proof of that than the video below, shot by the MacIver Institute in Madison, WI this week. In it, Socialists clearly root for revolution, see a direct correlation between the riots in Egypt and the unrest in Wisconsin, and hope that… Broadcasting platform : YouTube Source : The Blaze Discovery Date : 18/02/2011 21:07 Number of articles : 5

What if you could run Android apps on other platforms? That’s exactly the question Benoit Shillings and his team at Myriad asked themselves before setting out to create Alien Dalvik . The resulting software provides a host environment for the (mostly Java-based) Android apps to run pretty much anywhere. Alien Dalvik behaves a lot like Wine on Linux, which allows Windows programs to run inside Linux without installing Windows or using a virtual machine. We stopped by the Myriad booth at MWC this week where Benoit was kind enough to give us a demo of Alien Dalvik running on a Nokia N900 . Despite being in the early stages of development and still un-optimized, the software worked as expected. Benoit showed us Google Maps, a chess game, and the IMDb app all running as separate processes inside Maemo . This version of Alien Dalvik was written using Qt and should also be able to run on Symbian devices. You can’t buy the product as an end users, but Myriad wants to make the technology available to carriers and device manufacturers to help streamline the deployment of apps across platforms. Watch our video after the break. Continue reading Myriad Alien Dalvik hands-on (video) Myriad Alien Dalvik hands-on (video) originally appeared on Engadget on Fri, 18 Feb 2011 15:52:00 EDT.
