Hacked USB Interface

Check out this new way of controlling your computer via USB - this tricked out USB joystick has been hacked to interface with new buttons, letting you monitor the contacts via software. Could this herald the return of the 'new parellel port'? After all, the older days saw computers' parallel ports interfacing with the real world, so why not in the 21st century. The possibilities are endless as you can attempt to hook it up to door contacts, motion sensors and rain sensors among others. You can watch the video here.

Colombo Cordless Phone Concept

Check out these cordless phone concepts, known as Colombo One and Colombo Two. Designed by London-based Chauhan Studio, the former stands straight up and pays homage to the early Ericofon of the 1950s and 60s while the latter (as shown above) is more laidback, complete with cradle and all. This is one of the rare times where concept will actually turn to reality, as both handsets will be made available later this year at a modest price.

Army Soldier Suit Resurrected

Ground troops will be pleased to know that the Army's soldier suit of the future known as the Land Warrior has been given a new lease of life, after the 4/9th Infantry stripped it down and modified it accordingly, making all the modded equipment indispensable in combat. The whole 16-pound ensemble was trimmed down to just 10, while the digital gun scope was abandoned due to its impropriety for urban fights. The need to improvise could see the Army revive the program by opening up their coffers, although doing so is extremely difficult after plopping down half a billion dollars in research over the years. Ah, to revisit an old flame always conjures up unexpected emotions. Still, what value does one place on a human life?
