Can you imagine an electric supercar with a zero to 62mph time of 2.8 seconds and a top speed of 190mph? That’s what Rimac Automobili is building and hopes to have investors for. This sleek looking supercar is one of the most beautiful cars I’ve ever laid virtual eyes on. The low stance and broad shoulders give it an aggressive posture making it look like a wing gliding just over the ground. Rimac might finally see itself being produced with the help of investors in Hong Kong and Colombia. Rimac is based out of Croatia.

Insects As Small As 3 mm Being 3D Modeled And Colored

 

journal.pone-insect-0094346.g001

Some brilliant minds in Australia have a new 3D modeling system that can model insects as small as 3 mm and bring their characteristics into a scale that scientists can study them better. These large colored 3D models are kind of creepy but really cool at the same time. I’ve often wondered what we would do if some of these bugs were the size of large dogs, we’d probably be in some trouble. Check out the Abstract from the PLOS One website and hit the links after the break for more info.

Review: Orpheus Music Player (Android)

orpheus-logoIf you’ve ever gone looking for a new music player for your Android smartphone or tablet, you’ll know that the Google Play Store is cluttered with hundreds upon hundreds of apps in that category. Less than half of them are worth your taps, and less than half of those are worth the price they ask for. Orpheus Music Player, however, is worth every single cent of the 99 cents you’ll pay for it, and then some!

Digital Shadow: Watch Dog‘s Stunt Outs Shoddy Facebook Privacy Settings

Digital_Shadow_Watch_Dogs_Cover

I’ve certainly complained about Facebook in the past, and my feelings have largely remained the same.  It’s no secret that Facebook doesn’t seem to respect your privacy, and really wants to pry open and inspect all aspects of your life.  For the most part we seem to let them.  They roll out changes to their privacy settings, making you opt-out of updates that increasingly open up your data – if you can even find where to opt-out in their giant mess of settings.

Leonardo DiCaprio Eyed For Leading Roll In Sony’s Steve Jobs Film

The Hollywood Reporter says that Sony Pictures is in talks with Leonardo DiCaprio to play the roll of Steve Jobs in the film adaptation of Walter Isaacson’s Steve Jobs biography. Last year’s movie “Jobs”, staring Ashton Kutcher, didn’t do too well at the box office and hit sour notes with critics. Sony is basing their film off of the actual biography of Steve Jobs which is probably a good idea given that a lot of what is written in that book comes from Jobs himself. Sony is also hitting up Danny Boyle to direct the film as the deal with David Fincher fell through due to some disagreements between Sony and the director.

Land Rover Discovery Concept Is All Kinds Of Awesome

Land Rover has always made some really awesome SUV’s from design to functionality. So it’s no surprise that their latest concept SUV, the Discovery, is beauty wrapped in steel. The first noteworthy feature is the absence of door handles on the Discovery. As a lover of minimal design and clean lines, I find door handles break up the symmetry of the body and generally are gaudy. There have been great attempts at integrating door handles into design and keeping the lines clean and crisp, the Acura NSX comes to mind. But Land Rover takes it a step further and completly does away with door handles, opting instead for a gesture controlled interface. Check out the video after the break.
