The Tesla Model X is the safest SUV ever built
The American National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) has just given the Tesla Model X its highest-ever rating for any SUV style vehicle. In fact, the Model X, the biggest vehicle in the Tesla stable, scored 5/5 stars in every category evaluated by the Administration. Even more impressive is that the Model X is the second […]
Flying cars… science fact or science fiction?
We’ve done a few posts on autonomous vehicles, drones, flying ‘cars’ and even the world’s safest small airplane, exploring the future of transport. But what is the reality? Will any of these ever play a part in urban life? In this article, two leading academics from The Queensland University of Technology, one of the worlds great […]
Why Apple Should Buy Tesla and Make Elon Musk CEO
It may be true that there will only ever be one Steve Jobs. It may also turn out to be equally true that there will only ever be one Elon Musk. Jobs was and Musk is, a great innovator – both people who truly ‘think outside of the square’, who ask ‘why not’ when everyone […]
Don’t want to get pregnant? There’s an app for that!
Not only is there an ‘app for that’, it’s been proven to be every bit as effective as the pill! No chemicals, no synthetic hormones, just plain old mathematics and a unique algorithm. Users measure the temperature underneath their tongues every morning and then enter the result into the app. The algorithm then works out whether you’re fertile or not that […]
The future is here and it’s not pretty for the car giants!
Car sales are booming globally. It’s as though the GFC never existed. The Chinese and Indian middle classes are swelling and they all want to be mobile. Americans and Australians are back in love with their SUV’s. Half the world aspires to own the latest Mercedes or BMW. So why should the big manufacturers be […]
Tesla’s Model X rewrites more than the SUV rule book!
The tech revolution is in full force in the automotive industry, but Tesla remains at the bleeding edge. In fact, at the Model X release, CEO Elon Musk stated: “If we had known the true engineering costs and complexity, we would have done fewer things.” Released in late 2015, two years later than planned, the […]
How to store 360 terabytes for around 14 billion years!
OK, right now, most of us may not need to store 360 terabytes of data. And the tax office here in Australia only requires you to keep your files for a maximum of seven years. But this technology may just find a use in your home regardless. Imagine having an inter-generational record of people and events […]
We review the Lenovo K3 Note phablet
Summary: Outstanding 4G Android octa core performance with excellent cameras and true 1080P resolution at 401ppi on a 5.5″ retina screen. Over the years I’ve been a strong supporter of Lenovo products. Back when they were an IBM brand, the ThinkPad laptops, manufactured to IBM specs by Chinese company, Legend, were superbly built and equally robust. […]
The future of PC’s
PC sales, both desktop and laptop, are in decline. There’s good reason… that tablet you’re using and your smartphone are already more powerful than the PC you bought just three or four years ago. And they’re a fraction of the size, cheaper, more robust yet offer resolutions that make many desktops and laptops look very […]
3D printed prosthetics have arrived… and they’re affordable!
Close to three years ago I wrote a post about one man’s quest to print a working 3D prosthetic hand. It was basic but it worked and definitely fell into the category of a miracle (in my humble opinion). It looked like this: Basic perhaps, but life changing for the recipient! In the three years since, 3D […]
