X-Wing Squadron Seeks $11M On Kickstarter For Measured Response To Funding Of Intergalactic Weapon
Author: Jamie Colby
The Death Star may be well on its way to Kickstarter success, with £224,596 pledged out of total £20,000,000 goal, but its construction won’t go unopposed. Rebel forces have rallied to crowdfund a means to oppose Imperial tyranny, in the form of an X-Wing fighter and a pilot trained to use it to take down any moon-sized space stations that may end up floating around in the void.
The project’s creators are seeking $ 11,000,000 in funds to finance the development of a single X-Wing, and to train a pilot to use the fighter to deliver its deadly payload. Let me take this opportunity to volunteer myself to wear the orange jumpsuit, since I’ve logged countless hours on the X-Wing and TIE Fighter simulators that LucasArts wisely issued back in the 90s in anticipation of this exact scenario.
If somehow I’m not picked to be the first X-Wing pilot, then at least I hope to be considered for the entire X-Wing squadron that project creators Simon Kwan and Ed Dean hope to put together if they can manage to hit their stretch goal of $ 4,458,672,683. For backup, should the project achieve 13 million Galactic Standard Credits, the team will also fund and build the creation of a Corelleian YT-1300 freighter, which certainly came in handy when the Rebels took down the second death start in our distant past during that far-flung galactic struggle we all know so well from the re-enacted documentaries created by George Lucas.
While it’s likely true that the galaxy needs an X-Wing or two, I’m a little skeptical about this project’s ability to achieve its goals, for one reason: the conversion rate for Galactic Standard Credits is all wrong. The GSC was estimated to be worth around 0.62 USD back in May 2012, which means that that 13 million stretch goal would translate to around 8.6 million USD – under the total funding amount required to make the project successful in the first place.
That’s just crazy, and it definitely doesn’t give me any confidence in the ability this project’s creators to get the job done. If you can’t handle basic galactic currency conversion, how do you expect to manage planetary defence? There’s a lot of math involved.

Author: Matthew Baker
Because everyone suches as pretending they’re a knight when they cook, James Brown (no not THAT James Brown, silly! The one with the green hair in the video clip after the jump) has created a Kickstarter for Fight Kitchenware, a line of pots and pans with tool handles instead of plain ones. Presently, $ 27 will get you a take care of kit to transform a pan yourself, and put together pans start at $ 45 and increase from there. Unfortunately, they do not can be found in ninja sword holds. OTHER THAN THE ONES I ‘M SELLING. “That’s a shoelace wrapped around a banana.” Shhhhhhhh! But yeah, that is things that it is. I desire one that looks like Excaliber’s take care of so I can easily threaten roomie with it oldschool design.

Army’s New Weapon Shoots Lightning Bolts Down Lasers
Author: Janet Odell
Mad experts at the army’s Picatinny Arsenal have actually established a tool that can easily shoot super bolts down laser beams to fry electronics and detonate explosives. But can it prepare a hotdog?
” Air is composed of neutral molecules and is an insulator,” Fischer said. When lightning from a thunderstorm leaps from cloud to ground, it behaves merely as any type of some other sources of electrical energy and follows the course of the very least resistance.
“The plasma channel conducts electricity way more desirable than un-ionized air, so if we established the laser so that the filament comes near a high current source, the electrical energy will travel down the filament,” Fischer elaborated.
A target, an enemy automobile or even some kinds of unexploded ordnance, might be a more desirable conductor than the ground it sits on. Because the voltage drop around the target might be the exact same as the current drop across the exact same distance of ground, present flows with the target. In the scenario of unexploded ordnance, it would detonate, described Fischer.
Have I ever before advised you I’ve been struck my lightning prior to? Well I was lying if I did. It’s just a dream of mine, it’s never ever really occurred. So yeah, the super bolt laser-gun. That’s cool and all, Army, however you know what you should get next? A nicer video camera.
Thanks to richard, bb and joe, that agree it’s probably not the kind of gun you would like to wave your hand in front of jokingly after it’s powered up. Pfft, I’ll do it for $ 1.

Microsoft’s secret weapon in mobile gaming: DirectX on Windows Phone 8
Author: jos
Not many people remember this, but the original Xbox got its name from Microsoft’s plans to deliver a “DirectX Box” to the home console market. Feeling the need to counteract the growing influence of consoles at the turn of the century, Microsoft sought to bring DirectX — its proprietary collection of programming interfaces (APIs) used to build games for Windows — to the living room. While its first attempt was rightly derided as a chopped-down desktop PC dressed up in home entertainment garb, the consequent Xbox 360 has been a runaway success with users, and its slim second iteration has also been a fantastic feat of hardware engineering to boot. And it all started with that seemingly innocuous group of APIs. Now, DirectX is coming…

Secret Windows 8 Weapon: Kinect Built Into Your Laptop
Author:
The Windows release of Kinect is coming up in a couple days, but for most people that won’t be a major event: the Kinect they have is sitting on their TV or in a drawer, waiting to be taken out for an impromptu Dance Central 2 party. Of the 10 million Kinects out there, the only ones connected to computers are the ones being fiddled with by the various hackers and students making science projects out the things.
But according to the Daily, Microsoft is hoping to remedy this particular situation by building Kinect sensors right into your laptops. TechCrunch alum Matt Hickey got to handle a pair of prototypes, which were confirmed to be official, not just one of the many experiments that hide within Microsoft’s various lairs.
Unfortunately the laptops were not ready for their debut and no pictures seem to have been permitted. But they are described as netbook-like, with a number of smaller sensors instead of a webcam, and what could be an IR LED at the bottom of the screen.
The inclusion of depth-sensing cameras on a laptop is an interesting idea, and if they can drive the price of the sensor array down, it might become a standard feature. Microsoft has clearly also been focusing on miniaturizing the Kinect hardware, as the bulky original would seem somewhat out of place on a petite netbook. Whether this smaller sensor set has the same capabilities as the larger isn’t clear and wasn’t discussed.
A smaller Kinect would also suggest that Microsoft’s next console, rumored to have Kinect built in, is nearing readiness. While many gaming industry insiders have discounted the idea that the next generation of consoles will be announced this year, the rumor mill says otherwise.

ASUS chairman Jonney Shih promises ‘secret weapon’ to rival iPad 2, disses 3DTVs
Author: James Cliff
Jonney Shih has never been one to back down from his stance on anything, and in a recent sit-down with IDG News Service, the ASUS chairman delivered quite a few nuggets worth poring over. For starters, he played up (and subsequently downplayed) a “secret weapon” that would likely rival the iPad 2, but wouldn’t go so far as to confirm that said weapon would actually be a slate. His response to prying? “I think it’s best not to say now. You will have to wait until the launch.” He also noted that personal cloud computing was poised to boom, and didn’t leave much hope for the likes of webOS and QNX — he claims that there is only room for three OS camps to win, and those three slots are already occupied with Windows, Android and iOS. Finally, he took the opportunity to fling water on the 3DTV buzz, noting that he “doesn’t think that will prevail.” He did leave open the possibility for glasses-free options in handhelds to succeed, but beyond that, it’s safe to say he’s not much of a 3D advocate. Hit the source link for the full skinny, but don’t go digging for any extra details on his iPad 2 killer — something tells us you’ll be sorely disappointed.
