This device on this car is probably the future of auto security as we know it.
Someone has gone to the trouble of installing an Eee PC 900A into the dash of this Volvo, and has gone to even more trouble to make the computer part of the automobile’s systems.
Not only does it have two pressure sesnors for boost and vacuum, but the computer displays the RPM, O2, and the exhaust directly. By the way, the user enters in a PIN number in order to start it.
I have included a video of it that you can see after the jump. Granted, the camera movement is shaky, and the narration reminds me of the show Dexter, but I like what he has done here.
In fact, I take back the Dexter comment, as you are no serial killer, but a complete genius. I think we all know that a PIN number could really do a lot to prevent car theft.
However, in the photo, it appears to be a woman doing some sort of strip tease. That is probably going to lead to an accident.
Well, we all know that cars and computers are going to get more and more “in tune” with each other. This particular DIY device is definitely the way to go, and I hope not to hear about any “surfing the net while driving” accidents.

Everyone knows that a basket of freshly cooked fries are superb to the palate, but they certainly aren’t the healthiest food to have if you’re trying to do something about your health. Philip’s Airfryer is different, however, as it requires “little or no oil” in order to perfectly cook a bunch of delicious golden... Read More

This is the Modern Chess Set, and, as you can see in this illustration, this Chess set is able to fit very compactly in this tiny box.
You will notice the pawns are these little cubes that fit together well. The rooks are a little larger and do the same thing. The bishops and knights have some sort of symmetry, to create a rectangular solid, I like how the king and queen dovetail together, as... Read More

In war, the person with the biggest gun or weapon doesn’t necessarily emerge as the victor, but having one in your possession will surely give your side a psychological boost although it might end up as a liability. Nevertheless, we’re pretty sure that most folks won’t mind having the Nerf Stampede ECS Blaster as part of their arsenal when it comes to Nerf gun fights. This £49.99... Read More

Looks like getting decent certification does not only apply to us human beings (when it comes to work, professional qualifications, etc), but it also trickles down to the gadget world as well. We’re talking about the latest Samsung Galaxy Tab Android-powered tablet device that looks primed to go up against the iPad from Apple, but one advantage that this puppy has would having received DivX...
