Inspector Mac McGarry of the Gloucestershire police force holds up a chilling weapon seized during a raid on a house in Gloucester. Capable of decapitating its victims, the five-foot-long martial arts sword is being used to promote a nationwide knife amnesty. The amnesty, which lasts until June 30, is the first of its kind for ten years.

It can never touch the original for sheer awesomeness, but NGL the trailer gave me nipple boners.

Nov. 21st, 2009 02:34 amThe Illustrated Man: How LED Tattoos Could Make Your Skin a Screen
The title character of Ray Bradbury’s book The Illustrated Man is covered with moving, shifting tattoos. If you look at them, they will tell you a story.
New LED tattoos from the University of Pennsylvania could make the Illustrated Man real (minus the creepy stories, of course). Researchers there are developing silicon-and-silk implantable devices which sit under the skin like a tattoo. Already implanted into mice, these tattoos could carry LEDs, turning your skin into a screen.
The silk substrate onto which the chips are mounted eventually dissolves away inside the body, leaving just the electronics behind. The silicon chips are around the length of a small grain of rice — about 1 millimeter, and just 250 nanometers thick. The sheet of silk will keep them in place, molding to the shape of the skin when saline solution is added.
These displays could be hooked up to any kind of electronic device, also inside the body. Medical uses are being explored, from blood-sugar sensors that show their readouts on the skin itself to neurodevices that tie into the body’s nervous system — hooking chips to particular nerves to control a prosthetic hand, for example.

They look at the table askance.
“I sort of want to read the flap copy,” says Tananarive.
“Aren’t you afraid that would unleash it?” says Rawley. “Or possibly instill it?”
There are eight stacks of the same book on clearance, entitled The Riker Within. Somebody has arranged them at different heights to make it look as if they’re going fast. The effect is unconvincing.
“Maybe it introduces him,” says Tananarive. “Via penetration?”
“Or it’s a guide to rooting him out–”
“I don’t like what that implies about me!”
From the lower right quadrant of eight glossy covers, Jonathan Frakes beams up.

Apr. 15th, 2009 11:54 amAce Attorney Limited Edition Is Fit For A Tea Party
Th Ace Attorney series in my top 5 favorite video game series of all time list. :C por vida.
Miles Edgeworth, star of upcoming Ace Attorney title Gyakuten Kenji, is a more...fashionable man than Phoenix Wright. Hence the purple suit. And the limited edition game featuring leather cases and a tea cup.
Yes, hammering home the point that Edgeworth is half-Prince, half-Victorian gentleman, Capcom's limited edition bundle for Gyakuten Kenji (the game, not the hardware bundle we've already shown you) includes an orchestral soundtrack, a leather (or, at least, leather-looking) DS cartridge wallet, some other junk like portrait cards, and the game itself.
As a bonus, pre-order the game from the Japanese Capcom store and you'll get a Gyakuten Kenji tea cup. And not just any tea cup. A frilly, girly tea cup.
The pack is going for 9,490, and if you hadn't worked it out by now, yes, it's a Japan-only deal.

Mar. 18th, 2009 08:37 pmMy dad gave me a new laptop to replace the old, broken one I've been using. I was pretty shocked. It's a Toshiba Satellite L305-S5919.
However, this sticker on the box worried me. Rightly so, because it BSoD'd on my three times. So I took it to Computer Stop and wiped/reloaded it with XP. The drivers gave me a bit of trouble, but now she's running smooth. Now I need to name her. Suggestions?

Feb. 16th, 2009 11:12 pmMagenta Ain't A Colour
[W]hat does the brain do when our eyes detect wavelengths from both ends of the light spectrum at once (i.e. red and violet light)? Generally speaking, it has two options for interpreting the input data:
a) Sum the input responses to produce a colour halfway between red and violet in the spectrum (which would in this case produce green – not a very representative colour of a red and violet mix)
b) Invent a new colour halfway between red and violet
Magenta is the evidence that the brain takes option b – it has apparently constructed a colour to bridge the gap between red and violet, because such a colour does not exist in the light spectrum. Magenta has no wavelength attributed to it, unlike all the other spectrum colours.

Jan. 28th, 2009 09:09 pmHackers Crack Into Texas Road Sign, Warn of Zombies Ahead
Transportation officials in Texas are scrambling to prevent hackers from changing messages on digital road signs after one sign in Austin was altered to read, "Zombies Ahead."
Chris Lippincott, director of media relations for the Texas Department of Transportation, confirmed that a portable traffic sign at Lamar Boulevard and West 15th Street, near the University of Texas at Austin, was hacked into during the early hours of Jan. 19.
"It was clever, kind of cute, but not what it was intended for," said Lippincott, who saw the sign during his morning commute. "Those signs are deployed for a reason — to improve traffic conditions, let folks know there's a road closure."
"It's sort of amusing, but not at all helpful," he told FOXNews.com.
