| RetroUI Lets You Switch From New Windows 8 OS to Classic Desktop Posted: 08 Sep 2012 07:08 PM PDT  Daunted by the missing start button in Windows' latest operating system?

| What It’d Take to Build an Uncrashable Car Posted: 08 Sep 2012 06:12 PM PDT  As far as cars go, the Infiniti JX35 is a pretty smart cookie. Try to back up into somebody or something (a task you'd have to be a complete moron -- or an unwise journalist -- to actually pursue), and it beeps, switches the large dash display to a view of a rear-mounted camera, and, if all else fails, hits the brakes for you. The JX35 isn't quite an uncrashable car (its tech is understandably focused on preventing back-up collisions), but it's a nice step, considering the frustrating fact that even today's newest, most technologically advanced cars operate as little bubbles on the highway. My totally impractical, ridiculously expensive, and not-at-all-original plan for e… More About: car tech, cars, mesh network, navigation, networking, trending

A company based in Princeton, N.J., makes monitoring your energy use easy with a smart energy sensor and mobile app, Wattvision 2, a Kickstarter-funded project.

| Watch the Human Mind Explode a Watermelon [VIDEO] Posted: 08 Sep 2012 04:36 PM PDT  Have you ever come home from a stressful day at work and felt like smashing a watermelon to pieces? Only, you didn't feel like getting up from the couch to do so? Well, stress no more -- now all you have to do is think. LVL1, a hackerspace in Louisville, Ky., designed a get-up that gives folks the ability to blow up a watermelon -- using only their minds. Here's how it works: The user (or fruit-destroyer) wears an EEG headset to interpret his or her brain waves. Then those signals are transferred into wireless impulses and sent to a CO2 cannon mounted at the bottom of the fruit. Once the user thinks hard enough, the signals fire off the cannon… More About: EEG, Science, trending

| Nokia Expands Apology for Misleading Lumia 920 Video, Photos Posted: 08 Sep 2012 03:45 PM PDT 
Unveiled on Wednesday, the Lumia 920 features the "PureView" camera, which has a "floating lens" optical image stabilization (OIS) technology that Nokia claims lets users take sharp photos and video. Earlier this week, Nokia admitted a video that purportedly demonstrates the benefits of the 920's OIS capabilities was "a simulation" and not shot using its PureView camera. It later revealed on Saturday that promotional photos were also faked. "The video was produced while the Nokia Lumia 920 was in early prototype and still not ready to show the full benefits of the amazin… More About: Lumia 920, Nokia, trending
