Remarkable Concept Car May Be Future of Manufacturing
If you do 3D printing, chances are you’re used to a machine being pretty autonomous. They do all the building, after all. Magnify that idea about a hundred times and you get something completely self-sufficient…and bigger.
Nir Seigel, a Royal College of Art graduate, developed what could be the most advanced concept car ever. Fittingly named Genesis, the Pilkington Design Award-winning car is 3D printed and assembles itself. The idea breathes new life into the spotty auto manufacturing industry not only by its self-sufficiency but by offering the consumer a high amount of customizability.
“The printer would print out a car all around itself to match the buyer’s specifications,” a press release from the Royal College of Art states. It says the primary objective of the car is to “evolve products and services, based on customer needs, avoiding obsolescence.” It’s a broad declaration, and the entire idea smacks of pessimism. But with related advances like the almost-in-production 3D-printed Urbee 2, it’s a feasible one.
Imagine playing GTA 5 on the Super Nintendo. Check out this remake of the original GTA 5 announcement trailer in retro form!
The good: The Asus RT-AC68U Dual-band Wireless-AC1900 Gigabit Router features powerful hardware, faster Wi-Fi technology, and useful features. The router delivers in all categories.
The bad: The Asus RT-AC68U is expensive, not wall-mountable, and not everyone will immediately benefit from its new and faster Wi-Fi standards.
The bottom line: For advanced and professional users, the Asus RT-AC68U Dual-band Wireless-AC1900 Gigabit Router is worth every penny thanks to its stellar performance, solid build, and bounty of useful features.
ULTRA-COMPACT CHAINLESS BICYCLE: BICYMPLE
With all of the varieties of bike design these days, there really aren’t that many that are really and truly different.
Most of the designs seem to stick to the same tried and true variations on diamond-shaped frames and standard drivetrains, with most of the difference between them being the quality of the materials and machining used or the color schemes offered.

But a new bike concept takes a radical departure from the norm, and instead of the usual futuristic design, gives us something more akin to a velocipede than what you’d expect to see in a bike store.
The folks behind the bicymple, Scalyfish Designs, began with this thought
And with a look at the bicymple, it seems they have been able to answer yes to that question, in a big way. Designed and built by Josh Bechtel in Bellingham, WA, USA, the bicymple is a direct-drive, ultra-compact bike with a bit of a twist to it. Not only is this simplified bike built around a minimalist frame and a short wheelbase, but that frame is also capable of turning the bicymple into a swing-bike. Riding with the rear-steering option allows for some fun variations on riding, and enables tighter turns and maneuvering.
The bicymple uses a freewheeling hub in the rear wheel, directly connected to the crank arms, a disc brake up front, and runs on 29″ wheels. According to the site, the compact design “makes it effortless to get in and out of tight spaces and easily squeezes into stairwells, hallways, fire escapes, nooks, and crannies”, a big plus for city riding.
APPLE IWATCH: RUMOURS, FEATURES, RELEASE DATE
The Apple iWatch is rumoured to be in some form of production right now – we round up the news and speculation on its specs, features and potential release date
Apple is rumoured to be developing a wrist watch of some description, which would most likely synch up with an iPhone or iPad to give you updates on you’re wrist, allow you to control other devices and pull data from the cloud.
Supposedly a team of ‘about 100 product designers’ are working on the iWatch – including managers, marketers and software and hardware engineers who previously worked on the iPhone and iPad. That’s according to two people ‘familiar with the company’s plans’, which puts them in a remarkably small category.
According to the two in the know, the project is ‘beyond experimentation phase in its development.’
My first post. This is a news which I found on iternet about a new gadget which is very helpful.. if you'll work out at gym or do some exercies
End Screen-Bounce at the Gym With Fancy New Head Gear
If you use your mobile device at the gym, chances are you’ve encountered an annoying phenomenon while getting in your daily cardio. The impact of jogging, walking or riding on a treadmill, stairmaster or exercise bike causes the screen to bounce out of sync with the user’s eyes. A new clip-on accessory evens things out.
The Run-n-Read acts as a sort of visual mass damper. It attaches to most head gear and identifies the movement of the wearer. Innovators Weartrons are working through the crowfunding platform Dragon Innovation.
Welcome!!! So through this blog I have to meet many new wonderful people. So I thought it might be fun to start a blog which i will talk about awesome stuff about computer. So hopefully here I can share some hopefully interesting things I find along the way. Welcome to the blogging world so excited to post and guide you all here and get the chance to show you what ''computer'' is for me! Let’s Go!
