Kickstarter: spnKiX Are Motorized Shoes – Yes, Motorized Shoes
Devin Coldewey, techcrunch.comSome projects you want to succeed just because they’re something the world should have. Even if they’d be expensive, dangerous, and probably not as cool as you want them to be. Case in point: spnKiX, a pair of battery-powered skates that sc…
Nice.
Watch out Wall Street Protesters:
Low frequency speaker system can disrupt breathing.
A new patent from Raytheon outlines a new non-lethal system for controlling protestors and rioting crowds.
An acoustic horn is built into a physical shield, and can be directed at individuals, with a pressure wave that disrupts the respiratory tract and hinders breathing. A row of shields can also be used to disrupt an entire group of people.
From the patent:
A folded acoustic horn is incorporated into the physical shell of the shield. The horn couples acoustic pulses from a sonic pulse generator to an acoustic aperture to output a pulsed pressure beam that approximates a plane wave to produce a pressure barrier.

Man illuminates electromagnetic waves using coffee cans and LEDs, Christmas-colored science ensues
Michael Gorman, engadget.comElectromagnetic radiation is all around us, but we’re largely unaware that our bodies are constantly bathed in waves of the stuff because our eyes aren’t equipped to see it. Dr. Gregory Chavat decided to give us a glimpse of an EM…

Ever wanted to take 360° shots with your iPhone without having to use pain-in-the-rear panoramic apps and spinning yourself around in a circle taking many shots? Well now you can with the EyeSee360 GoPano Micro for iPhone 4/4S. The GoPano works by attaching to a specially designed case for your iPhone a bit like a snorkel. It uses a series of mirrors to reflect the 360 degree image back to the iPhone’s lens.
The included GoPano app lets you recreate the complete scrollable circular view in your phone and online (rather than a flat image like most panoramas). ThinkGeek has it too (same price as Amazon above) and they have some sample videos they took which you can scroll around with arrow keys to see the complete ring of view.
Now obviously there will be some degradation in video/image quality compared to a normal video because it’s using the same camera and lens size to take an image 6x as wide as a normal shot BUT the coolness factor more than makes up for it. If you are a real estate broker looking for a technological edge on the competition for your listings- this might just be it. Want to take cool crowd shots at a concert or sporting event? Video of the road and the driver in a car at the same time? Reaction shots? Like baking soda, it has 1001 uses. $79 at both shops:
