The tilting vehicle

Check out the amazing videos of the tilting vehicle;

Its obvious that the most efficient method through a corner  is  to  tilt  the vehicle mass into the curve [ exactly  the  opposite  to a motor car]....    a car is fundamentally   inefficient. Its  not that  the   major companies don't know this, but they  have proved  time and again  to be  unable to grasp  the   technical fundamentals  required  to produce  a  simple  steer narrow Tilting Vehicle.

It has a more “home made” look than the Piaggio MP3 but it looks more comfortable should be a great fun to drive.

DVB-H for devices without built in a TV tuner

Philips is working on a SDIO card that lets you watch DVB-H on devices that do not have a built in TV tuner:

The SDIO cards weren't much larger than a normal SD memory card, and simply need a smallish antenna attached to the top. The European version of DVB-H has a return signal - it is unlikely that DVB-H will be a free to air service, at least in Europe. As always, the US is using a different type of DVB-H that operates at a different frequency.

All the demos were run in Windows Mobile devices, so it is unclear if the SDIO cards will work on other mobile platforms or not. However, you might not need a mobile phone to make it work, as the SDIO cards should also work with many PDAs - as long as the subscription solution is flexible enough from the content providers.

The rocket, which has a jet turbine with 1,350 pounds of thrust, will shoot off the track of the giant crossbow shown above, which is equipped with a 24-foot carbon-fiber bowstring...
