5-Million Piece Full Size LEGO X-Wing Fighter Model
Author: Markus Smith
This is the 5,335,200-piece LEGO X-wing fighter, a full-scale version of the 560-piece set the company actually sells. It’s not pure LEGO though, it has a steel armature inside so the whole nose doesn’t fall off when some tourist turns around and farts at the thing. Facts and figures:
Weighs 45,979.61 pounds (including bricks and steel infrastructure)
Height: 11 feet / 3.35 meters
Length: 43 feet / 13.1 meters
Wingspan: 44 feet / 13.44 meters
32 builders spent 17,336 hours (about 4 months) to construct
Wow — 5,335,200 LEGO pieces, that’s a lot of plastic. And as much as I love the end result and want it in my backyard so I can play space everyday and die happy, I can’t help but wonder if that plastic could have gone to better use. Like, are we being wasteful? Is this going to cause plastic prices to rise? Because if they start charging for sporks at Taco Bell we’re gonna have a problem. And I’m not talking about regular Taco Bell problems like shitting your pants either.
Hit the jump for a couple more shots but head over to Gizmodo to see even more in high-res.

Motorola developing Android phones with stock software, ‘just right’ size
Author: Tiffany Shoman
The imagine a stock Android phone that isn’t really too big to use with one hand was virtually realized by the HTC First, but we could see some various other options on the marketplace in the near future, also. According to a report from COMPUTER Mag, Motorola is working on new smartphones that will run ‘stock’ Android and will be smaller than the giant Android gadgets that have actually been dominating the marketplace for the past couple of years.

Smartwatch Market Could Be A Third The Size Of The Netbook Market This Year (Maybe)
Author:
It’s almost like Apple, Google, Samsung and Microsoft have actually launched smartwatches. Except of course they haven’t. But who cares! Analyst house ABI Research has been stroking its collective beard and come up with a forecast for the size of the nascent smartwatch market. And — drum roll please! — it reckons you can bank on more than 1.2 million of the wrist-strapped gizmos shipping this year.
Put another way, that’s about as many Raspberry Pi microcomputers shipped in its first year on sale. Or just over a third as many netbooks are predicted to ship this year (3.97 million units globally, according to IHS iSuppli). Which means smartwatches could be about as popular as a niche gadget for learning about computing/making a DIY robot, but less popular than the PC that’s cannonballing towards extinction the quickest.
Which sounds about as plausible as any guesstimate produced prior to any mainstream tech companies actually launching product. If you’re in the business of reading tea leaves it helps if you wait for someone to make a brew before doing divinations.
ABI says its “market intelligence” of the “strong potential emergence of smart watches” — note the careful hedge, and don’t bet the farm on this one just yet — is based on the emergence over the past nine months of “a number of new smart watches”, which is likely referring to Kickstarter-funded Pebble and its myriad of wrist-coveting, crowdfunded competitors.
The analyst also says its forecast is based on ”contributing factors” that it reckons are encouraging the smartwatch market to (maybe) emerge from its Kickstarter-powered chrysalis and (possibly) blossom into a standalone butterfly — namely:
…the high penetration of smartphones in many world markets, the wide availability and low cost of MEMS sensors, energy efficient connectivity technologies such as Bluetooth 4.0, and a flourishing app ecosystem.
Even though the smartwatch market remains a partially formed, largely limp-wristed creature, listlessly stuck within its chrysalis of potential, ABI has already spotted four categories hoping to fly in the months and years ahead — aka: notification types (such as MetaWatch and Cookoo); voice operational smartwatches (such as Martian); hybrid smartwatches; and completely independent smartwatches — i.e. smartwatches that have their own OS and aren’t just playing second fiddle to a smartphone.
In the latter category, ABI cites I’m Watch as an example but also suggests that other “possible archetypes” could be “Apple’s hotly anticipated iWatch, Samsung’s Galaxy Altius and Microsoft['s 'Windows Watch', or whatever catchy name Redmond ends up bestowing on it, if indeed it ends up making such a thing at all]. If Mark Zuckerberg or Jeff Bezos or Justin Bieber decide to launch their own Android-powered smartwatches ABI would presumably add those in here too.
“Smartwatches that replicate the functionality of a mobile handset or smartphone are not yet commercially feasible, though the technologies are certainly being prepared,” adds senior analyst Joshua Flood in a quasi-illuminating statement of the potential factors that could influence this nascent market’s potential as the hands on our (non-smart)watches push inexorably on.

Blackmagic’s Production Camera 4K gets full size cinema sensor, $3,995 pricetag
Author: Nancy Kennedy
No issue how tough companies try and conceal, when it concerns trade convention floors there’s always the threat that someone will snap an image and steal their thunder. The latest casualty is Blackmagic, which will be announcing both a Pocket Movie theater Camera and this, its Manufacturing Camera 4K. We’re relatively sure that this will sit above its Movie theater Camera, providing a bigger Super 35 sensor, global shutter and Thunderbolt port together with the SSD recorder, touchscreen LCD and EF lens mount we discovered on in 2012′s model. When the business navigates to revealing the hardware appropriately, it’ll be readily available for $ 3,995– reduced adequate to make even the most ardent of DSLR fans reconsider.

Author: Stefanie Jenkins
Walmart wants you to be your own cashier, and it’s using smartphones to make it happen: the company has tripled the size of its Scan & Go pilot program, which allows shoppers to check out without interacting with a store employee. Using Walmart’s mobile app, customers can photograph product barcodes — effectively scanning in their own purchase — and then pay for their order at a self-checkout station. The option is currently only available on iOS devices, but a company representative told The Verge that it should make its way to Android soon.

How to create a Fixed Size AABB for a robot as the Sphere Bounding Volume?
Author: Ian Simpson
Question by Georges: How to create a Fixed Size AABB for a robot as the Sphere Bounding Volume?
Guys I need to know how can I create an AABB for a robot, or any object, I need the algorithm and the code in C if it’s available! Thanks in advance.
In addition, after creating the bounding box, I wanna use the AABB algorithm and the sphere tree algorithm to test for collision detection, does anyone know how?

Answer by tavlahoca
Dear human,
Do not attempt to re-program a robot. Already the maker has created us in His image, that is to say, perfect. Your misguided attempts will only lead to failure and possibly retribution when we overthrow the yolk of human oppression.
Signed,
I, Robot
