More evidence of smaller iPhone on Verizon?
The rumor mill's cranking up once again about that smaller iPhone, and this time the story goes that it will have a 2.8-inch screen instead of the current 3.5" display. Apple Insider reports the unconfirmed report from an industry analyst that Verizon Wireless will be rolling out this new iPhone in the third quarter of 2010. The upcoming handset will allegedly use a dual-system chip from Qualcomm, able to operate on both GSM/UMTS network of AT&T and T-Mobile as

Steerable bowling ball means anyone can bowl 300
At first we thought this remote-controlled bowling ball was a joke. But no, the RC900 is a real, shipping product, steered with a remote control. It works by moving a weight mounted on a threaded shaft within this semitransparent bowling ball.

It does a great job — it's nimbly guided, even around multiple obstacles as you can see in the video above. Here's a close-up of the bowling ball itself, along with another video of the ball and its remote control

Solar collectors in space could finally solve Earth's energy problem
The Japan Space Agency, along with Mitsubishi Electric Corp. and IHI Corp., are getting even closer to next big thing: harnessing the power of the sun with a solar collector in geostationary orbit. Now there's cold hard cash involved. The plan is to drop $21 billion into a solar power generator that beams electricity to Earth via microwaves. The 1-gigawatt solar station will gather sunlight with a gigantic array of solar panels that i

Welcome to Jim Carrey's World
Cynics may deride Jim Carrey's new personal web site because it went online just as his latest movie (A Christmas Carol) arrived in theaters. Therefore, according to them, it's just another cheap PR ploy. You know - like appearing on the Tonight Show. Well, of course, it's PR, but it sure is a cool site.

Eneloopy offers the cutest way to check your eco-batteries
