Engineered to perform - but maybe a few issues to resolve - go, go, go The technology group Apple plans to limit sales of its hugely popular iPhone to two for each customer to prevent illegal trafficking in the telephones and preserve stocks for Christmas. The Apple iPhone is not just a phone - it is a phone, music player, video player, internet device, and camera all in one An Apple software update is disabling iPhones that have been unlocked by owners who wanted to choose which mobile network to use.

Future space explorers will be doing just that. As well as drinking their own urine they'll also be drinking their own perspiration. Scientists are currently at a stage where they can recycle 92% of waste moisture but they want to do better than that and are engineering new ways to go about it.
Tests have shown that the process is pretty good, most people can barely taste the difference between this and fresh water. Though, if you think about it, even fresh water is recycled water, it's just that mother nature does a much better job.

Is this a hoax? Something about it just doesn't seem right. Anyways, the theory goes that when you hit this material it becomes hard and absorbs the force. In the video the guy is being hit, with what looks to be a fair amount of force, with a shovel and doesn't flinch.
If this is indeed not a hoax then this Reactive Polymer Gel has some great uses as far as OH&S goes.

Electrical engineering design to the rescue and a positive improvement to the quality of life ---
Following on from the small generator that we described in the March 2007 edition of Eureka, which we then said was “nearly 90 per cent efficient”, the team developing it for use in Third World companies has now reached 95 per cent efficiency.

Maybe it was one of these new flying machines which every engineer is currently intent on developing - and then again.......... NASA has agreed to search its archives once again for documents on a 1965 UFO incident in Pennsylvania, a step the space agency fought in federal court. The government has refused to open its files about what, if anything, moved across the sky and crashed in the woods near Kecksburg, Pa., 40 miles southeast of Pittsburgh.

A move away from fossil - this will get the engineers active in developing new applications for the subtle differences this fuel brings ----- The EU and America are expected to agree early next month international standards for trading biofuels that could see a huge expansion in the global market for alternative sources of power such as jatropha, senior US diplomats said.

Well, back in 2003 there were a few rumours that Autocad may have been coming to the Mac. Alas that never happened. Since then OSX has morphed to run on Intel hardware and appears to be growing in strength every day. With the release of Leopard , this trend is set to only strengthen. It also seems that Windows stranglehold on the desktop may be showing signs of weakening .
In light of this, when do you think we may see Autocad debut on Apple? Surely it would only be a matter of time. Trawling the web it seems that a lot of people are wanting it. AutoDesk also seems to be testing the waters a little. Still there is no indication of anything being released anytime soon for OSX.
We would be keen to get your thoughts and opinions on the topic and we'll see if we can't bring this a little more to the attention of AutoDesk.

I wasn't around to witness the action - and being a born skeptic .... but draw your own conclusions after reading the article -- An enormous cold spot in our universe could be explained by a cosmic defect in the fabric of space-time created shortly after the Big Bang , scientists say.

The rising price oil makes this engineering technology much more competitive on the world stage-- Some 5%, or 7 500 bbl/d, within a larger approximately 30 000-bl/d, or 20%, brownfield expansion planned for Sasol's Secunda complex, in Mpumalanga, is likely to arise from the deployment of a world-first technology able to convert coal fines into high-value liquid fuels.

Did you know that casino dice are generally hand made? Or that they are perfectly cubical to within one five-thousandth of an inch. That's some pretty impressive engineering. It seems that dice have been in use for quite some time, and show no signs of being replaced any time soon. Find out some more interesting facts about this simple implement.
