Posted Mar 1st 2008 1:04PM by Darren MurphFiled under: Transportation There’s a decent chance your average hybrid owner wouldn’t know the difference between a lithium-ion and nickel-metal hydride battery if their life depended on it, but we know you — dear reader — are not one of those “average” joes / janes. That being the case, you may be interested to know that the 2009-bound S400 BlueHybrid is in prime position to be the world’s first production Li-ion hybrid, which will offer up “compact dimensions and far superior performance” compared to existing rivals.

Imagine peering into a photo frame only to find out afterwards that there’s someone watching you through it. This is what the Digital Photo Frame Webcam does. It has all the trappings of the spy gadget — if only that camera wasn’t so obvious. The webcam can take photos too, when connected to a PC. The picture viewer itself is detachable from the base. Aside from its basic photo viewer and slideshow function, it also has a built-in calendar and thermometer. A bit more tweak into making the webcam a bit more imperceptible would be ideal, but as of now, I like what I see. (Read the full post about ‘Digital Photo Frame Webcam: A Potential Spy Gadget’…)

Posted Mar 1st 2008 4:34PM by Ryan BlockFiled under: Misc. gadgetsWe haven’t heard too much lately about the South Korean government’s probe into the Samsung Group’s alleged corruption and influence in the government, but the AP is now reporting those bribes were emanating from a $213 million slush fund the company supposedly set for use in swaying government officials. Various executives have been in and out of questioning with special prosecuters, including Samsung vice chairman Lee Hak-soo, top strategic planner Kim In-joo, and the chairman’s son, Lee Jae-yong, who is an executive and apparently viewed as the eventual successor to the company when his father, Lee Kun-hee, hangs up his money-stuffed envelopes.

Yes, we know, it’s a highly unusual device. But the Breast Massage Robot really has its purpose! Well, at least according to its manufacturers. Engineers from the Beijing BUBBY Robot Technologies Co. led by Wang Wei are the ones responsible for this eyebrow-raising device. According to them, the Breast Massage Robot is good for: *Adolescent girls who want to improve the growth of their breasts. *breast surgery patients who want a fast recovery *breast-feeding moms *relieving breast pains during menstruation *women who want to improve their sex lives *women who just want to relax If this is the kind of thing you’d want to put your money on, Wei and Co. seem to be currently looking for investors.

Posted Mar 1st 2008 9:49AM by Ryan BlockFiled under: Transportation Tesla VP of Vice President of Sales, Marketing, and Service, Darryl Siry, set the record straight on the whole airbag wavier thing: in case it wasn’t already clear, the Roadster does indeed have driver and passenger airbags. The waiver was regarding the fact that currently “front passenger airbag does not vary its deployment based on the weight of the passenger,” and thus needed the waiver not unlike other boutique automakers (he cites the Ferrari F430 as an example).
