How’d you like to see this coming up behind you in the rearview mirror? It’s a motorcycle built by Pitstop Motors that’s covered in skulls and topped with a horrifying Predator head. If only it could turn invisible!
These are the first images of the stealthy Predator C Avenger in flight. With a 20 metre wingspan, the latest and deadliest Unmanned Aerial Vehicle yet can fly for 20 hours powered by its jet engine.
About 215 of Acer’s ASG7200 and ASG7700 units were just recalled by the consumer product safety commission because their internal wiring could get “bent or stripped”, causing them to overheat and create a “burn hazard.”
I love the beautiful Alien vs Predator art that Meredith posted at io9. Not only they are perfectly done, but there’s something hilarious about seeing them playing games like humans. Check out the rest here.
If the Predator were a golfer, he’d hunt his prey—the pin, in this case—with this tri-laser equipped putter.
If you’re a surfer / jetskier / snowboarder / sailor / kayaker / speedboater / any sport that involves water who’s been ruing the lack of a wearable, waterproof camera that you can take with you to video your crazy water-based adventures – you’re in luck! The Predator VX360, which claims the mantle of “first wearable waterproof video camera” has been available in the UK for a little while, but it’s coming to Australia in January for $1199.
If you ever wondered how it looks to obliterate a group of alleged terrorists from an unmanned air vehicle, this video is your answer. What you see here is a group of people trying to put together an improvised explosive device in Iraq, only to be vaporised by a Hellfire missile launched from a Predator. No wonder why those UAV crews are so stressed: They absolutely, definitely need new Nvidia graphic cards. I would add the cost of the upgrades to the Death and Taxes poster.
Officially we are sick to death of steampunk, but we are willing to make an exception for a Predator with the skull of his alien adversary stuck to his spear. Currently the 8-foot statue stands guard outside of a London junk shop as a means of luring customers in to buy useless old crap. Whether it is successful in that endeavor is unclear, but the owners of the junk shop are not so attached that they are unwilling to sell it off to the highest bidder. Unfortunately, that bidder will have to pony up at least 5000 British pounds to take it home. That’s about $US9200 to us Yanks.
This is quite possibly one of the meanest looking computers you will ever lay your eyes on. The Aspire Predator from Acer is their top of the line gaming machine, meant to aid you in your quest to destroy anything and everything that stands in your way, from Alien hordes to Danny Glover.
The front panel mechanically rotates up to expose the glorious innards, from hot-swappable HDDs to USB ports. Behind the connections (in the belly of the beast, perhaps?) you’re inundated with the highest possible tech available, from the 4TB of hard disk space to the 8GB of RAM. The entire thing is powered by an Intel Core2 Extreme quad-core processor with 1333MHz FSB, while a two-way enabled NVIDIA SLI takes care of the graphics.
There’s also liquid cooling and dual Gigabit LAN technology to completely eradicate lag from your fragfests.
Needless to say, all this tech will cost a pretty penny, and that pretty panny adds up to be $4,500. But if you’re serious about your PC gaming, how can you really afford to not own one of these machines?
A few months ago, I had a mouse problem in my apartment (just one and we caught it, but that’s a problem to me) and I was on edge for weeks, always expecting another one of the cat-eating, fanged and diseased rodents to scurry out from behind my kitchen sink (determined, after going over the whole apartment CSI-style, to the be sole point of invasion). If I had possessed Fluke’s Ti25 handheld thermal imager, I could’ve resumed calmly eating peanut butter by the spoon a lot sooner, since the pocket Predator vision would’ve revealed any more lurking in my walls. And peace of mind, friends, is certainly worth US$7500. You can see its actual, proscribed use after the jump.
