The Swimming car!!!

Three decades ago James Bond (then enacted by British star Roger Moore) wowed the world with a car that could 'fly' under water in the movie The Spy Who Loved Me. Only, it was animation and not an actual scene.
But Frank M Rinderknecht, the 52-year-old automobile visionary and boss of Swiss automaker Rinspeed, has turned a dream into reality with his 'sQuba.'
Rinspeed sQuba is the most exciting thing at this year's Geneva Motor Show and is creating many a ripple.

sQuba is the world's first real submersible car that can 'move like a fish underwater'.

It can dive up to 32.8 feet (10 mt) below the surface of the water and can move at a sedate 1.8 miles per hour.

The sQuba has an open cockpit for 'safety reasons' (so that people can get out easily anytime in case of an emergency). The occupants of the car have to breathe compressed air through built-in scuba masks.

sQuba is an electric car that uses rechargeable lithium-ion batteries and 3 electric motors for propulsion. It is a zero-emission car as documented by the rotating license plate in the rear. It produces no exhaust emissions.

The 'sQuba's' filling station is the water reservoir.? It is no surprise that the vehicle features powerful yet energy-saving LED lighting technology.

The first car that could drive underwater was Quandt's Amphibicar, built in 1968. Only 3,878 were produced but many are still being driven on roads.

Then Gibbs Technologies came up with Gibbs Aquada in 2004 which Virgin boss Richard Branson used to break the speed record for crossing the English Channel.
However, the sQuba seems to be the most exciting of them all.

To drive on the roads, the sQuba 'relies on a stainless coil-over suspension from KW automotive and large Pirelli tires mounted on custom-made forged light-weight wheels from AEZ with 17- and 18-inch diameters.'

AIS RUGGED TABLET PC FOR MEDICAL ENVIRONMENT

American Industrial Systems, Inc. (AIS for short) has recently introduced a couple of medically certified 8.4” and 10.4” Rugged Tablet PCs that will target the medical industry. Being that small in size, you are spot on if you thought that the famous Intel Atom processor found in netbooks will be the heart and engine of these rugged tablet PCs - they will utilize the latest N270 Intel Atom Processor that offers high reliability operation in an ultra low power environment. On the outside, you will be pleased to note that the tablet PC sports an elegant, practical design that boasts an aluminum-magnesium alloy construction with individually sealed ports for complete IP54 compliance waterproof and dustproof protection. In addition, these two tablet PCs have already made it past the UL60601-1 Medical Equipment Certifications that make them approved where electronic compatibility and reliability in the medical field are concerned. Not only that, AIS has made sure they are tough as nuts by virtue of its engineering that complies with Military 810F shock, vibration, and drop standards. Never knew the hospital environment would be that tought, but hey, you can never tell when your tablet PC might drop to the ground when a patient starts to trash around in bed, right?

Features of the AIS tablet PC include :-

• UL 60601-1 Medical Equipment Certified
• 8.4” & 10.4” Industrial TFT-LCD Panels
• High Performance, Low Power Intel Atom N270 1.6GHz with Intel 945 GSE Chipset + ICH7
• 1 x SODIMM, Max 2GB DDR2 400/533
• Rugged Alu-Mg Alloy Housing Design with Protective Rubber for MIL-810F Shock, Vibration, and Drop Std.
• Versatile Mobile Communication Functions including WWAN (GPRS/GSM/CDMA/UMTS/EDGE) and GSP Module
• Wireless 801.1 b/g and Bluetooth Module
• Ergonomic Portable Design with Handstrap and Carry Belt Accessories (optional)
• 6 Cell, 4800 mAh Lithium-Ion Battery Pack
• IP54 Dust and Waterproof Rating

They will be powered by Windows XP, although we’ve no idea how much it’ll cost.

THE USB HEART 4-PORT HUB

This hub is great for women of all ages (as long as they prefer things of this style). It would look especially good in a young girl’s room, not that a young girl would necessarily need a USB hub. However, if your daughter does need one, this pastel heart is definitely an affordable way to go. It only has 4 different ports, but that would be enough for a great deal of people. Most people don’t really need a ton of extras, but merely a few more ports. Being a hub, it’s compatible with either Mac or PC, obviously. It comes in the three different colors you see here. The pale pink, blue and then bright yellow. So if you don’t want a pastel color, the yellow is a bit more bold. Brando has these up for sale, and for cheap too. You can purchase one for all of $10
