Hey guys, still into Transformers? A seller is offering a Saleen Barricade replica from the Transformers movie at eBay. It looks the same like the one in the movie but with a few changes.
“To punish and enslave” has been changed to “Power in the hands of a few”, and the 911 decal has been switched to a 411 promoting the Saleen web site. The light bar is also absent, probably to help prevent the vehicle from being mistaken for an actual police vehicle”
The upcoming 552bhp Lexus LF-A is already setting lap records at Nurburgring, posting a time of 7 minutes, 24 seconds — Porsche 911 GT2 clocked in at 7 minutes, 32 seconds.
“Its 4.8L V10 churns out a reported 552bhp while slapping the needle against a 9,000 rpm redline. A 210 mph top speed is said to be the car’s upper bound, which makes us shake our heads. This is, after all, the brand that brought us the sarcophagus of a car that is the LS sedan”

The winner was recently announced, and Singaporean industrial designer Joe Tan’s entry “blur” beat the pack to win the Gold Prize and a cool 1 million yen! Obviously inspired by one of the tools of our trade – Photoshop – his entry plays a pun in bringing the techniques used in ‘Photoshopping’ to real life:
“blur is inspired by the photoshop “blur” tool often used to erase wrinkles in photos. We can find similar blur texture effects on glass or plastic products in our everyday life. Applying such textures to specific area on the eyewear blurs wrinkles and seemingly reverse the effects of aging. blur is specially designed for women who want to look younger in a blink of an eye!”

I just got the news that Windows Vista Service Pack 1 is available for public download. It’s not the final version but it’s at least the first release candidate and it should be extremely close to the real thing. It’s a big download – 32-bit version is between 440 and 550 MB, and the 64-bit version is between 730 and 880 MB – and you might need to uninstall it completely when the Vista SP1 Final is ready. If you download it and try it out, please drop a comment.
