Jet-Engine-Alike Fire Sculpture Will Please Your Inner Pyromaniac

12:30AM Kit Eaton | Flames, thunderous noise, drama and the threat of explosive, combustive doom: That’s why this sculpture by Dave Umlas will please your inner fire-starter. Made from stainless steel, propane gas-air jets and what seems to be a turbine-like system somewhere in its construction, it exists merely to thrill you with flames. If the still photos of the sculpture aren’t enough for you, check out the video. It’s freakin’ firey. galleryPost('fireeffect', 5, ''); More »

Rumour: MWg to Launch Windows Mobile 7 Device This Year

10:29AM Wilson Rothman | One fun rumour bopping around the phone sites is that MWg, the smartphone maker previously known as O2 Asia, will be rolling out a Windows Mobile 7 phone in the fourth quarter of 2008, specifically the Flame II shown above. That’s about a year earlier than we last heard. Everyone sounds skeptical, but you never know, the timeline could have been accelerated because WM6 isn’t exactly a crowd pleaser. If you want a more complete roadmap, check out Boy Genius; for the original video presentation from MWg, look at MoDaCo. Either way, take it with a grain or two of salt. [MoDaCo via BGR] More »
