Recently we’ve been looking for a good HD-quality camcorder, and we found this little beauty over at Uncrate.  The Sony HDR-SR1 HD Camcorder records video in true 1080i and features a built-in 30 GB hard drive.  You can view what your filming on a bright 3.5" LCD screen and can also take 4 megapixel still shots.  The HDR-SR1 HD has a recommended shelf price of $1500.  You can check out the official press release here.

What at first looks like a shady black warehouse from the outside is really one of the, if not the largest video game store on earth.  The store carries everything from your average PS2 and Xbox 360 games to retro games and even anime.  It’s really a sight to behold so we will just let the following pictures do the rest of the talking. Where is this little slice of heaven on earth you ask?  We will never tell. via Shoganai

According to Boeing, new technology will soon make it possible for planes to be constructed mostly from non-metal composite materials aka plastics. Boeing’s 787 Dreamliner which is set to debut in 2007, is the first of a new generation of planes. These next-gen planes use carbon-fiber based composite materials instead of metals which make them lighter and more fuel efficient, in fact the 787 Dreamliner is almost 20% more efficient than Boeing’s current 767 models.

Another advantage of using composite materials is that they don’t fatigue or corrode like metals do. This composite technology is expected to eventually make its way into the production lines of Boeing’s current aircraft models. Boeing’s popular 737 line could be built using a similar technique and could consist of up to 50% composite material which in the long run is expected to reduce the aircraft’s cost. via CNN
