We have seen people do some pretty cool things with quadrocopter drones. Like play the James Bond theme song, go fishing or engage in an acrobatics showdown.Now it looks like there's a drone to appeal to the serial party-goer in all of us. OppiKoppi, an annual music festival held in a rugged corner of South Africa, is set to include a beer-dispensing quadrocopter among its features this year. According to a video released today, the OppiKoppi beer drone technology v1.1 ...
If you hadn't already realised that Elon Musk's Space X is going to be a major player in the future of space exploration, check this video out.It shows the company's Grasshopper rocket, which is capable of taking off and landing again. The reason that's important is because it means that at some point in the near future we'll have reusable rockets, presenting massive savings on current launches.The rocket has taken off before, although this video shows it more ...
This is very cool. The Leap Motion controller has people seriously excited about the future of controller tech and when you see how it combines with certain applications, you can see why.Take Google Earth for example. It has evolved steadily over the years but, by and large, nothing mind-blowing's changed on it. Until it decided to join forces with Leap Motion that is.Using the company's 3D motion control technology to control Google Earth takes it to another level. ...

When Facebook aired its first ad for Home, you may well have found yourself thinking something along the lines of "oh jeez, this is weirder than that time it compared itself to chairs". Its second effort though is much better.While the first ad featured half-naked men, drag queens, and a chocolate-covered child it didn't actually tell you what product it was promoting until right near the end.The second effort continues the theme of Facebook Home apparently bringing real ...
Bitcoin is seriously hot right now. Yesterday one unit of the virtual currency went past the US$200 mark.Thing is, it can be a little difficult getting to grips with the phenomenon. It's a currency, but it doesn't work like conventional money systems. It has no central bank or trading system. Instead, it's open-source, peer-to-peer and in trading, it is subdivided into 100-million smaller units called satoshis, defined by eight decimal places. Confused? Don't worry, you're not alone.That's why this ...
The next level of urban surveillance is here: meet SandFlea, an 11 pound (5kg) race car like robot that can jump. Yes, it literally hurdles 30 ft (just over nine metres) into the air, enabling it to jump over a standard wall, onto a roof up a flight of stairs or into a second story window.Built by Boston Dynamics, the SandFlea uses gyro stabilization to keep it level during the jump. This also ensures a smooth landing with ...
Alright, so Funny or Die is really doing this. The humour-based video site has made its own Steve Jobs movie based entirely on the late Apple founder's Wikipedia page. The project will be the longest project by the site to date with a running time of 60 to 75 minutes.The teaser trailer is essentially a collection of Apple buzzwords, Jobs' melodramatic moments and an iFan product display presentation. It's pretty cliché driven and not very serious at all so ...
