Linux Media Recorder - Neuros OSD
At Gadgettastic we prefer our media devices hackable and preferably with a dash of Linux… the Neuros OSD Media Recorder delivers on all fronts. At the base level, the Neuros OSD functions as a media recorder and player. Connect the OSD to your TV and give it an analog video input from your DVD or cable box and it can encode video in various formats for your portable devices like PSP or mobile phones. Files can be stored and played either using media cards or using a USB external hard drive plugged into the OSD. More information here
However, the really special part about the OSD is its wealth of ports and the completely open source firmware. You get analog video/audio input and output, ethernet, USB, infrared, serial, two card slots to accommodate CF and SD/MS/MMC cards, plus a full-function universal remote.

Video - Gigantic Man Made Tornado
Check out this video of this gigantic man made tornado.
To create the tornado seen in these photos, carbon dioxide vapor was used instead of smoke, and it takes 144 separate jets about 7 minutes to get the 28 tons of air moving fast enough to form a funnel. When it does, a low-pressure column in the center of the tornado effectively sucks in any smoke and carries it up to vents in the roof allowing it to escape.

Funny Video - i-SOBOT takes on Godzilla
The guys over at Robots Rule, have come up with this funny video of the i-SOBOT against Godzilla.
i-SOBOT “fight clubs” have begun springing up throughout the USA where hapless i-SOBOT’s are forced to fight in vicious pit matches with lethal and primitive creatures; solely for the dark pleasure of fat grubby humans (like myself), who wager on these matches. In dusty dirty basements found below abandoned warehouses the tiny robots fight for their very survival against hopeless odds. Tiny Toad, our fearless intrepid reporter managed to infiltrate one of these clubs wearing a wireless camera and microphone, and film a training session. But even more breathtaking is the live footage Tiny Toad captured from a real death match. This was no ordinary death match. Showing no lmit to their depravity, the hosts for this brutal match managed to capture none other than the terror known as Godzilla, and force poor i-SOBOT into a no holds barred battle for supremacy.
