I Want My Batwings
Written by Maxit   
Picking up where Austrian daredevil Felix Baumgartner left off, German company ESG has developed a rigid wing system to allow special forces paratroopers to glide at high speeds for great distances away from their drop-off point before opening their parachutes.

That's right: Batwings!
 
Freeline Skates: Teeny Tiny So Cool Transportation
OK, so, these are cool:

Freeline Skates

"Dual independent skate connected by the body of the rider with a sideways stance.

"The Freeline Skates TM are ridden skateboard/snowboard-like.

"Riders can achieve high levels of traction and carve smooth 'S' turns while riding downhill and dance like a fish on the flats and uphill.

"The Freeline Skates TM are extremely portable making them the smallest and lightest form of transportation."

So sayeth the Freeline Skates website. But do they work?

Sony VE7000S Walkman DVD player

Sony continues to milk the Walkman branding with the release of their new portable DVD player line-up. Introducing the D-VE7000S DVD player (pictured) which brings the coveted Walkman branding in a compact package sporting a 7-inch display, a couple of headphone jacks, and a dock with integrated speakers capable of charging the unit in about 3 hours. Also announced is the DVP-FX810 which is just a regular ol’ portable DVD player with two headphone jacks for snuggling up against that 8-inch display for up to 6-hours at a time off battery. Yup, that's it... no DivX, no network, no USB, no tie-in to Sony’s Japan-only Portable-TV service or up-coming HUB PlayStation Network Platform. Just a couple of portable DVD players shipping in June for undisclosed prices. Come on Sony, we’re waiting to be impressed again. More snaps after the break.

Sennheiser PC160 Gaming Headset
sennheiser-pc160
Our favourite partner site, Trusted Reviews, just finished giving their ears a workout with a review of the Sennheiser PC160 Gaming Headset.

"When it comes to picking out a set of sound-conveying accessories, the
choice is now more divergent and complicated than ever in this post-iPod
world. Do you want a pair that you can take with you and use with your
portable audio player, as well as being plugged in for long frag-a-thons?
Are you an audiophile who won't compromise on sound quality, or is VoIP such
a massive part of your life that the mic is the deciding factor when it
comes to your purchase? There's also the complication of whether to have a
headset that works over USB as a secondary soundcard versus just having a
couple of audio jacks on the end."

Written by Maxit   
The Emperor's New Suit.

Flush from victories over Napster and the eeeevil forces of P2P, the RIAA is now taking aim at radio. Who are they suing now? Why, XM, of course...
