    Can Cars Float?

    By Adam Weiner Posted on 3.25.2009 2 Comments

    Behold a "hydro-car." You might see its like in the next James Bond movie; this real-life model could be useful for navigating urban waterways or during heavy flooding. Obviously, to propel your car through the water there must be some sort of propeller hidden under the chassis, but a more immediate and basic requirement is that your car must be able to float.

    imposibility is in the head, possibility is in the heart James Bond has also shown that cars can fly and be submerged underwater (like a submarine). Perhapps they will one day be used in space. From Russia with love man with the golden gun

    This is not a Blimp. It's a sort of flying Queen Mary 2 that could change the way you think about air travel. It's the Aeroscraft, and when it's completed, it will ferry pampered passengers across continents and oceans as they stroll leisurely about the one-acre cabin or relax in their well-appointed staterooms.

    Unlike its dirigible ancestors, the Aeroscraft is not lighter than air. Its 14 million cubic feet of helium hoist only two thirds of the craft's weight.

    Little Red Riding Hood Gets Scary

    By Jeremy Hsu Posted on 4.2.2009 3 Comments

    Once upon a time, a small game developer created a demo called The Graveyard that left video game journalists puzzled. The entire game involved playing an old woman who visited a graveyard and then left, unless you paid for the full game version that allowed a chance for the character to die. Journalists debated The Graveyard's merits, and some questioned whether it represented a game or some sort of interactive art. Now the same game developer, Tale of Tales, has come out with a modern-day horror version of "Little Red Riding Hood" called The Path.
