The Coanda helmet

Coincidentally, the helmet was invented in 1910, the same year the jet engine was invented.

Nuts! says Tecs

WTF is "facebook"? Or "cellphone"? Sounds like make-up words to me, referring perhaps to some fake, pointless gizmos.

MIT builds the Coanda sub

MIT has overcome the mathematical impossibility through both its innovative design as well as something called the Coanda effect. So what is this miraculous Coanda effect the company has employed? It is a phenomenon where a jet flow attaches itself to a nearby surface and remains attached even when the surface curves away from the direction of the initial jet flow. Run a stream of water over the underside of a spoon and watch as the water follows the curve instead of dropping straight down – that’s the Coanda effect. [..] Preliminary market research, carried out by MIT, suggests worldwide sales of the vehicle may go beyond 1 million units. MIT is seeking investors to fund the building of a prototype UV before establishing manufacturing facilities. Once in production, MIT expects to produce 10,000 vehicles a year.

Requiem for the floppy disk

If you added up the space on the 12 million disks sold in Japan last year, it would hold just 17 gigabytes of data, which is still less than a single Blu-Ray disk.
Sic transit gloria mundi.

The Rooskie solution

Pravda to the rescue: But in principle there is no difference - you still need to drill a well at a distance from leaking. And it lowered the bomb. As in the movie "Armageddon" with Bruce Willis in the role of a driller. It is desirable that the calculations were done correctly. Such hope is: the U.S. is full of smart scientists and powerful computers. And Russia could have contributed. We still live peaceful nuclear demolition.

Hölder lives up to his umlaut!

Obama cracking up, claims iPads racist, cellphones dangerous. Shows up in Rose Garden with Tecs-like tinfoil hat. Waves arms and seethes.
Is this a malaise speech? How many are we up to now?

Time to buy Coakley


People are betting with their hearts. Tecs, put a couple Gs on this for me, OK?
If they're right, this is the Dems' gameplan.
