Since the tragic attacks on the World Trade Centre in 2001, the whole world has been cautious about who they can trust, where they’ll stay safe and what events/places to avoid as a precaution. Sports stadiums and arenas can hold thousands in a concentrated area and last year, the Department of Homeland Security and the FBI warned that terrorists could take an interest in attacking these venues, while at full capacity. Officials are aware of the threat of a possible attack and have been planning what to do, should something ever happen and all of the crowds need to be evacuated quickly. One can only…

Japan’s Sharp Corp has announced that the company will begin offering 3D-capable LCD televisions later this summer in Japan. Sharp Corp. has high hopes for the new design and it is expected to be the industry’s next biggest thing. Popular rivals such as Samsung and Sony Corp have already seen large success with their 3D TV models and Sharp Corp hopes to see the same interest in their 3D-capable LCD. The new design features the world’s first 3D TV which uses four-primary-color-technology and offers brighter and more vivid images. “We are now one step closer to such things as 3D displays with the world’s…

Even better? The app is completely free to download! With this app, jokes are readily available so that users can get laughing right away.

Who said that a hotel must be a stationary thing? It wasn’t Rotel Tours. This company has created an army of buses (called Rotels) that give guests their very own bed and comfort on wheels. The shocking thing is that this idea is hardly new — the company has been cranking out these busses since 1945. Rotel provides around 3,600 beds, and the people on those beds travel around the world — Africa, Asia, and Europe — while enjoying a scenic view from the comfort of their own “room.” In these “rooms,” there is a bad that measures in at around 6 ft x 3ft and a window to take a peek at the outside world. The only…

Lets face it, clean is cool. The only thing cooler than clean is Star Wars, so following some simple arithmetic we can deduce that a bar of soap molded in the shape of Han Solo trapped in Carbonite as seen in Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back equals absolute pure awesome. Available at Luxury Lane Soap, the Solo Scrub is the epitome of what we believe in at Techi.com – awesome, nerdy and fresh to boot. At 4.2″ x 2.25″ and 1″ thick, the soap should last a while, but even better, while a side effect of being frozen in carbonite for Han Solo was temporarily blindness, this bar of soap is fragrance-free and made…

The ColorWare design studio has now made it possible to customize your brand new iPad in almost any color you can imagine. Just think, you could be the first person, sitting in Star Bucks, reading the newspaper on your new blue iPad with a green Apple logo. If sending them your current iPad to be customized, it will cost you $400 or you can purchase one directly from them for $900 and takes three weeks to ship. The ColorWare website has some really cool functions that allows you to pick the body, logo and button color right on screen to preview your iPad before committing to a design. Everyone seemed to…

This formal US Postal Service Jeep has been transformed into a contraption that the most hardened fighter jock could climb into after a night of gambling and hard drinking of ambrosia in the pilot’s mess. Yes, Dean Shorey, the master ride mechanic for Seabreeze Amusement Park in Rochester, NY has created a vehicle that may actually make a hardened geek cry more than a silver Delorian. And it’s street legal. STREET LEGAL. You can drive this baby on the motherfracking highway. It uses a Chevy engine block and features a cassette deck, appropriate low-tech for the “no networked computers on MY SHIP”…

The Wake Forest Institute for Regenerative Medicine has come up with a new technique of skin grafting that works like a printer to improve the treatment of anyone who is unfortunate enough to lose skin. Dr. Anthony Atala calls the new technique “bioprinting” and has already set up machines to do it in the laboratory doing initial scans on mice. A laser first scans the wound to feed information to the machine, and the “printer” then sprays two layers of cells onto the wound. The cells take care of the rest. This technique allows skin to heal within two weeks as opposed to five if left untreated. The next…

In the world of cloud computing where Google is pushing Chrome OS as a browser and operating system (OS) to manage all your online apps, we’re no longer required to stick to the one computer. You can break free of all those apps designed for use on one operating system only. You can be free of your OS. We live in a time where spreadsheets can be managed in a browser, accessed by multiple people in many locations. Collaborative works can evolve as quickly as it takes to do the actual work. No-one needs to fuss around with managing who’s in charge of the master document and ensuring everyone has the updated…
