Underwater airplanes.
Here is a video on underwater airplanes. They use the same principles found in aerospace engineering, but instead of flying up, they fly down. It is pretty amazing looking crafts.

If you can’t afford the $400 price tag on a new Apple iPhone, you could make one out of Legos for less the $10. Click here to see a comparison.
Not sure if you’ve seen this before, but it’s relatively new to me: The Conference Bike, invented by Eric Staller.
Basically, it’s a tricycle where 7 (seven!) riders sit, all facing eachother, pedaling. One lucky person gets to steer the 400 pound “bike”.
On their site you can see videos of it in action - and Oh, how I want one!
There are also great money making oppurtunities, apparently. Which gives me an idea…
Yes - I am very bad at getting out of bed. So far it hasn’t hurt my career or anything… I get out of bed “on time”. But it definitely doesn’t help me that I don’t get out of bed until the last possible minute. Doing that makes me feel bad all day, because I think about what I *could* have done, or how much better I would have felt if I would have gotten up and made breakfast, maybe did a little “Man-lates” (ask me later) or something.
Which brings me to the Flying Alarm Clock over at ThinkGeek. A very tempting purchase. Not tempting enough for the $34.99 price tag though.
Ever wanted to be a superhero. Well here is your chance, kinda (mainly if you are a girl). This jacket apparently emits 80,000 volts of electricty on the outside layer of the jacket, thus shocking anyone who is touching you.
According to the website,
“The goal of the No-Contact Jacket is to call attention to violence against women and to offer an alternative response to the body’s vulnerable space and boundaries that society, culture and fashion have created.”

Woohoo! Like it’s actually going to work with any motherboards on the market in the next 2 years, but check this out…
From the Article:
IBM Research says it will demonstrate a new prototype optical transceiver chipset that “is fast enough to reduce the download time for a typical high definition feature-length film to a single second compared to 30 minutes or more over the best available connectivity today.”
Read the rest on ZDNet.
An article at Apple Gazzette mentioned their ultimate weapon: the Create Your Own Apple Rumor Chart.
From the article:
“You too can be an “inside source” with this amazing new handy dandy Apple Rumor creation tool.
You can use the chart to create top notch and completely trust worthy rumors…”
Enjoy! And if you hit the Digg front page, let us know!
If you don’t know what “TARDIS” or “MAME” is, you might want to start here. If you’re excited at the thought of *putting* one inside the other, go directly to the intsructions.
If you’re too confused to continue, read this:
TARDIS stands for “Time and Relative Dimensions in Space. ” Doctor Who (in the TV show of the same name) uses a TARDIS to travel anywhere in time or space. His looks like a 1950’s booth for calling the police.
MAME stands for “Multiple Arcade Machine Emulator.” It is an emulator that runs the exact code from arcade video games on a personal computer.
…an enterprising New Zealander named Simon Jansen has combined the two concepts into a very cool video-game apparatus. A TARDIS that runs MAME.
That’s right folks, for just $24.99 (USD), you too can own this USB Powered Desktop Tanning Center!
As if us geeks with farmers’ tans weren’t bad off enough already. Then again, I guess I could take my shirt off at work and get these aimed in a more general direction. I would love to see how that would go over!
