Bing Visual Search Could Be A Great Tool, Maybe, Someday
7:39AM John Herrman | Oh, what a romantic vision Microsoft has here, with Visual Search: Imagine a search engine that served up results in images instead of text, and had easily-recognisable pictures, organised by topics and other parameters, which you could narrow down until you found what you were looking for. That dude, with the hair, in that movie? Done. The camera, with the stumpy lens and retro body? Found. That girl, in that band, with that smile, and that voice? Binged. More »

11:50PM Mark Wilson | It’s June, and most of us reading this post are stuck at work instead of wasting a summer vacation away with lemonade and the dreaded “playing outside.” And to make matters worse, there’s the ridiculously cool Heli Mission SWAT Truck. More »

Silverlit Kazoo Electric Indoor ‘Kite’ Completely Misses The Point
1:40AM Sean Fallon | Isn’t flying a kite about skillfully utilising the wind to keep a cloth contraption aloft? Sure, there are high tech indoor kites, but the Silverlit Kazoo completely breaks with convention by using an electric motor. More »

Silverlit RC Ducati Motorcycle Racer Leans Into Turns Around Your Furniture
3:00AM Jack Loftus | There are plenty of RC cars and motorcycles out there today, so what Silverlit did with this 1:12 scale red racer is throw on a working driver and let him have some say in where the sportbike is going. Thanks to an on board gyro, the rider actually leans from side-to-side, just like those crazy guys I see whipping around European courses on Speedvision. The US$96 racer also has an active throttle control and spring suspension, which you’ll see in the video, just in case you like to name your RC motorcycle racers Evel Knievel. More »

Silverlit V-Beat Air Drums—Motion-Sensor Sticks for Schmucks
10:31PM Addy Dugdale | Silverlit, purveyors of remote-controlled things that fly, have come up trumps with their V-Beat Air Drums. Containing motion sensors (but, sadly, no neon tips like you see in the picture) they are the beans to the toast that is the V-Beat air guitar. Plug your iPod into the control box and drum along to whatever you fancy. There’s even some kind of pedal thingy that lets you drum with your feet, although the protruding wires made me think “shoe bomb.” Video of the US$60 friend-isolator after the jump. More »

iBird R/C Toy Looks Like Flapping Good Fun
9:55PM Gizmodo US Edition | The new iBird comes from the same makers as our favourite R/C microcopters, but this time takes a leaf from Mother Nature’s design book. Controlled with the same kind of infrared remote and charging system as the Picoo Z’s, the flapping wonder is supposed to look and fly like a real bird. Real, hey? I’d say really cybernetic, but what the heck: check out its “realistic flapping motion” in the video. More »
