The guys from Tokyoflash have just released their latest geeky timepiece, the Tokyoflash Kisai 3D Unlimited watch, which started out as a concept design and has now made it into the stores.

This is the fifth concept design that has become a real watch, and it comes in a choice of seven different colors, I think well let the guys from Tokyoflash explain how it works.

Google’s new social network has become incredibly popular since it launched a few weeks ago, Google has already released an Android and iPhone app, and now Google has updated the iPhone version of Google+ to add in support for the iPad and the iPod Touch.

As well as adding in support for the iPad and the iPod Touch, the latest version of Google+ also comes with a range of bug fixes, although the iPad version isn’t a dedicated version of Google+, so we can expect that to come in the future.

Texas Town Resort To Desperate Measures To Solve Water Crisis

By ‘desperate’ we mean finally taking the major step to recycling waste water. Seen below: yeah, that kind of waste water (it’s a flushing toilet). The ironic part is the town is named Big Spring. The problem, on the other hand, is tangible enough for a lot of small communities with a population under 50,000.

These Concept Vehicles Will Make Your Jaw Drop

While concepts–a practice in the design world that often leaves most people scratching their heads in puzzlement–are usually hit and miss, there are a few that really inspire closer scrutiny.

Deus Ex HD Texture Pack Now Available

We’re not too proud and only marginally ashamed to admit we’re among the few predominantly PC gamers who have not played Warren Spector’s take on conspiracy theories and the cyborgs who investigate them. It’s on the list though and this so-called “New Vision” mod  just kicked it up a few notches, as judging from the screenshots we perused on Steam before hovering our cursor over the Buy button and chickening out at the last minute, Deus Ex hasn’t aged gracefully.
