One person dies on the road every 25 seconds.
While alcohol, inattentiveness due to mobile devices and that other
distinctly human failing, sheer stupidity, all play a role in the road
carnage, the overwhelming reason 1.3 million humans a year die on our
roads is speed – we all drive too fast for the conditions. Registration
is now open for the third international congress on tackling speed,
taking place in London on May 13. This widely-acclaimed, biennial
congress at the Royal College of Surgeons will address the latest
research into effectiveness of speed management measures, International
policies, successful road engineering measures to control speed and
protect communities, best practice speed-awareness education … spread the word! Read More
There has been a lot of pondering about exactly
which niche the tablet PC will fit into in today's tech-centric mobile
world. At this year's CES trade show
in Las Vegas, Lenovo hopes to answer many of those questions by merging

tablet PC into one package. The main innovation in the IdeaPad U1 is a

processor but when docked in the laptop body shares both battery and
processing power. Read More
Up until now, for a projector to pack a decent
punch it has had to incorporate a high pressure lamp using mercury,

laser and fluorescent illumination capable of brightness up to 3000
lumens, as well as featuring wireless and USB capability. Read More

When did outdoor entertaining and al fresco
dining become so sophisticated? Once, most people would be happy with a
humble barbecue – now homeowners are adding gazebos and patios,
landscaping their gardens, building grills or outdoor kitchens and
installing outdoor sound systems. In response to this urge to create
attractive outdoor living areas, manufacturers have produced some clever
outdoor speaker options – from Rockustics, to Niles Camouflage speakers, to the Sonance rock speaker.

The Stat-X First Responder – designed just for manhole fires
By Gizmag Team
January 7, 2010
Now here’s a clever device no electrical, gas,
plumbing, fire, police or first responder crew should be without ... if
they ever have to go into confined spaces where there’s even a remote
chance of fire. It’s called a Stat-X
First Responder® and it only does one thing – extinguish fires in
confined spaces really fast. If fire breaks out, you activate the
aerosol-based fire suppression device and toss it in the hole. It’s
clean, compact, cost effective and safe for the environment. Fires in
manholes are rare but can be deadly without the correct firefighting
tools to enable a trapped worker to escape. Read More
With the Wii's MotionPlus already old news, and Microsoft's Project Natal and Sony's PlayStation Eye-based equivalent likely to hit this year, it's easy to wonder when motion controls will find success in the PC world. ASUS's Eee Stick
tried, but merely proved that strong software support for new hardware
peripherals is absolutely crucial for success - which is why we're
excited to see Valve, developers of hit series such as Half-Life, Left 4
Dead and Portal, showing support for Razer and Sixense's new,
as-yet-unnamed motion control hardware for the PC. Read More
Mad Catz Interactive has unveiled a new range of
premium Cyborg gaming mice which will begin shipping in Q2 this year.
The new range takes all the same principles normally applied to

contact between the gamer’s hand and the mouse are fully adjustable
allowing it to be customized for any grip preference. Cyborg claims they
are the most comfortable gaming mice in existence, but who cares, cos
they are the coolest you’ll ever see. Read More
