Moller International have been working on bringing us affordable flying vehicles for more than 30 years, and it seems that the first of these is very close to being available. The M200G is capable of flying up to 10 feet above any surface, including land, water, sand, swamp and snow.

Of all the things to spend our robotic innovations on;
her? Hello Kitty, seriously?
Yes, seriously. This kid-friendly cat has gone robot, possibly replacing your child's best mate for good (and nearing the completion of her long-planned world domination). If you're prepared to dish out the $6,299 (mee-OUCH), you've crossed the line of obsessive fandom and entered the world of her design.

I've managed to avoid writing about the iPhone up to this point, but I think now is the time. I want to do a quick roundup of methods for protecting you chic, pricey, high-status baby. With the money you spent buying it, and then money you can spend on accessories, you really need to dish out a few bucks to keep it in good condition.
There are tons of options when you're protecting any gadget, really.

I'm sure at some point or another you have always wished you could have some sort of secret high powered fan or something you could get out and let loose on someone right after they fix their hair or a pile of papers, not to hurt them but just for the good laugh you could get from messing those things up from a distance and their initial response. Well with the Airzooka now you can have that power.
The Airzooka is capable of launching a strong ball of air up to thirty feet to your unsuspecting victim.

You know you've been there, driving down the road, you're running late or just having a bad day and then some person decides that they are going ride your tail for 20 miles then proceed to fly past you and cut you off just so they could get to the exit ramp a whole 2 seconds before you. There are a wide array of possible responses that a person may consider from screaming or certain hand gestures. Well with the Driving Emoticon you can express those feelings easily and very clearly to all drivers.

Here's a nice quote from Gizmodo that pretty much sums this baby up:
"Nice Lexus. Oh, what's this? Just a ROBOTIC LEG. But really, your car is quite nice. Cup holders and everything."
But seriously, the C-Leg has to be the coolest I've ever seen. It's a microprocessor-controlled hydraulic limb, complete with a wireless remote control.

I've heard rumors about space trips for a long time, but I didn't really expect it to actually happen any time soon. I've also always had trouble seeing how it's possible considering the extensive length of time astronauts spend training to go into space. How is it that we can simply send civilians? Well however that is, it's now gone from 'possibility' to 'opportunity'.
Apparently, Space Adventures is finalizing the contracts with the Federal Space Agency of the Russian Federation (FSA)
for two commercial seats aboard upcoming flights of the Soyuz TMA
spacecraft.

I'm really not a big fan of the whole iPod gear craze. Everyone's dressing their iPods better than they dress themselves, and a lot of it is overpriced hoo-ha. On that note, I also don't like Disney very much, especially when they mess with technology. From Disney CDs to Disney phones, I just can't stand the concept.
That said, they made something that is almost kind of neat; your kids will certainly like it, anyway.

You've no doubt noticed all of the new technology in security over the years. To date, we've been able to get very Hollywood with these security approaches, utilizing tools such as voice and fingerprint identifiers. It seemed cool to me a while back, and now I'm not alone by saying that I can see the ugly other side of that coin.
On July 19, NEC announced its newly-developed border control system.

Theres nothing quite like a nice cool draught beer on a Friday afternoon, or any day for that matter! Thats why I love this Beer Cooler made by Wunderbar, it chills your beer to a perfect temperature and then lets you pour yourself a refreshing pint with as little or as much head as you like.
