DIFFUS Solar-Panel Handbag Can Charge Gadgets

Posted: 28 May 2011 11:59 AM PDT

Design firm DIFFUS recently had one of those rare eureka moments that inspired their latest creation. Pictured below is their solar powered handbag, embroidered with a hundred small panels that emit enough energy to charge a smartphone. That’s not all its features though.

Japanese Simple Emergency Toilet Is For Doing Your Business On The Go

Posted: 28 May 2011 11:52 AM PDT

Like a wise man (not the guy in the picture) once said: When you gotta go, you gotta go. This rather non-brainy invention is an insta-toilet for those unfortunate occasions when instant relief cannot spare a trip to the john. So what to do? Pull this bag out of its container (it’s small enough for a pants pocket) and step inside. Don’t worry about the smell; you can put fragrant pills inside to diffuse the stink.

On Friday, Space Station Assembly Is Complete

Posted: 28 May 2011 11:46 AM PDT

Huh? We mean the International Space Station (ISS). It’s finished, baby! Happened yesterday. Thanks to the much-delayed Endeavour flight, two astronauts were able to log a spacewalk for the installation of a boom. Once it was attached with the help of a robotic arm, the ISS was officially completed—though upgrades are scheduled in the coming years and future missions.

House Of The Dead Overkill Coming To PS3 In 3D

Posted: 27 May 2011 05:56 PM PDT

By all accounts, House of the Dead Overkill is a pretty spectacular Wii rail shooter, so it’s with a glad heart we bring you news of its impending PS3 makeover. Well, by makeover we mean addition of 3D and Move support, as well as “two brand-new scenarios.” But look on the bright side, while most PS3 games look crappy in 3D due to their downscaled textures and models, House of the Dead Overkill will probably look much the same as on the Wii, but in 3D.

Sony Representative Speaking To Congress About PSN

Posted: 27 May 2011 05:41 PM PDT

Sony Network Entertainment president Tim Schaff will be making an appearance in front of a government subcommittee to explain exactly how fast the guys who haxxored the bejeezus out of the PSN were typing and if it was faster than the guys in “Hackers” the movie. He’s expected to respond along the lines of “So fast, you guys, seriously.” while making furious typing motions with his fingers.

D&D Daggerdale Will Miss May 31 PSN Release Date

Posted: 27 May 2011 05:24 PM PDT

Not that you’re missing much from what we gather about the latest D&D interactive entertainment experience, but if you’re a PS3 owner and were really looking forward to someone actually sticking to a date when it comes to the PSN outage, we’re sorry to disappoint, Daggerdale will not be making the promised May 31 date.

Asus Padfone Tablet/Mobile Phone Hybrid Outed

Posted: 27 May 2011 02:44 PM PDT

Asus’s bold hardware experiments were responsible for the creation of the netbook market category, it’s only fitting that they create the harbinger of its demise. Or a lame duck that tries to do too much and ends up not doing anything right, time will tell. For now, all we know is that Asus has applied for US and European trademarks on the name Padfone, which is nothing if not… descriptive.

Nokia CEO Announces Symbian Cutoff Date

Posted: 27 May 2011 02:34 PM PDT

Though having played coy when asked about the inevitable planned phase-out of Symbian until now, Nokia’s CEO has finally come out with an answer as to the expected year of the veteran mobile OS’s demise. 2016 is when Nokia will stop releasing Symbian updates, suggesting Symbian phone releases should keep going strong for at least three more years. We confess to a certain amount of surprise at the amount of time Nokia is still committing to Symbian.
