November 30, 2008
Every year many society die in car accidents, which is a disappointing fact. Quite often it is considering of high-speed blow-outs, or when driver forget to check the pressure. Even the small gap can be deadly at high speeds. It is even more critical in military, when tires are very vulnerable to damage. There were many interesting improvements to tire design to produce them more durable and resistant to damage, like “run while flat” feature.

MSC-500 Mouse Scale
November 30, 2008
Just when you thought that the mouse could not get any weirder, along comes the MSC-500 Mouse Scale. Judging by its name, you can tell that that is a pointing device that not only helps you play your favorite RTS and FPS games with accuracy, it can additionally be a useful aide when you weigh your can of Coke at the desk, wondering which slimy co-worker took a sip from it when you went for a toilet break. The scale itself is able to operate independently with an internal USB rechargeable battery, while weight readings are incremented by 0.1g, 0.005 oz., 0.005 ozt., or 0.1 dwt. Would you fork out $59.95 for that? We’d rather get a real mouse and a separate scale, unless you’re dealing crack at the office and don’t want to look suspicious, heading off to the pantry all the date.
