Honda has annual design competition between their brightest engineers. The contest called, ” Global Design Project ” which only engineers from Honda can enter and this year 80 of them tried to design their project. The main rule is very simple. Take a motorcycle engine put it in a car and make it look cool. They want to bring the experience of motorcycle driving to a four wheel car.

And the winner of the year is, this car which looks like a supercharged Go-Cart. Its called Honda Project 2&4, designer made a floating seat so drivers feel the experience of motorcycle driving and when he crashed there will be no pain because it should be a quick dead. That is why seat is that exposed. It is joke of course. The car 890 pounds and designer put motorcycle-grade suspension so the super go-cart can do quick turns.

UK Politicians Claims that Spaying Bill will Protect You from Cyber Attack

When the Governments want to reach our data these, they start to talk about the smartphone usage by terrorist groups or hackers. They say, bad people using them to communicate. Terrorists are planning to attacks to us, or Hacker groups planning to do some cyber attacks. Like these last days, Anonymous do some online attacks on Turkish government websites and some banking websites. Even I think that Turkish Prime Minister did help and still helping the terrorist Groups, but those attacks affect people has nothing to do with this issue. For example, we couldn’t blame every German because of Nazis did in WW2. Many German was against to those actions, and even they send to the dead camps.

Technology changes so rapidly and changing more faster now, every day something new coming up. Think about 20 years ago or just think about the phones before iPhone came up at the first time. Think about your first computers; my first desktop PC had 16GB hard disk in it. Even the smartphone I use plays better games than my first computer. And even the new generation that born and grows up in these technological improvements can’t follow it.
– 
Think about politicians now, all around the world, they are 45 to 65 years old. And most of them has no idea how to use a smartphone. Of course, they can make calls or send messages but we new generation know what smart devices can do. So when some evil people want to use the cell phones for harm someone. Politicians think there is a backdoor on out smart devices, and when is that door open they can reach any information about the people who they want to catch.
– 
They don’t even know there are thousand of the different door to use and many of them we are not even aware. If you have access to a smartphone, the people you want to listen will use some other technology. Like in Paris attacks, authorities realized terrorist were using PS4 to communicate. I never thought that before, but I must say it very smart. And maybe they found new ways now that we don’t know.
– 
Also, I must say today politicians are just try to show, they are doing their job. And, unfortunately, they are using the same tactics like terrorists. Just try to scare people to make them accept what they want.

New Creepy Robot from Disney Research, and We Loved It

Only one pair of the wheels is steerable, primary power for going to many directions comes from the propellers, and they are the one thing keep the robot on the wall. This robot is the only thing that we want to see that climbing around our walls. Other creature, we don’t prefer.
