t25 Gordon Murray

car design legend Gordon Murray officially unveiled his latest project today, the fuel-efficient T.25 city car. Like the McLaren F1 before it, a few of Murray’s signature details have trickled down into the T.25, one of those being the centered driver position that places the driver seat in the middle with two seats at the back. As for power, the car will put out a total of 51 horsepower which will get the car moving to a 0-62 time of 16.2 seconds and reach a mileage of nearly 62 mpg. Link

Lick the iPad

News anchor licks iPad.

It’s one things to be stupid and it’s something else to be naive.  However, Fox News and its anchors tend to exude both of those qualities and what we have here is a clip to prove it.

Raoul Martinez, a San Diego Fox news anchor tricked his co-host, Shally Zomorodi, into licking her iPad by stating that Shock Top, a popular beer company, had produced technology that works with the iPad and iPhone to illicit taste and smell from their application.

Now most of you would cry poppycock at the first sign of something like this, but just like the running on water video we saw last year, if you want to believe it exists, it will.  Sadly, Shally ended up licking the iPad and walked off set, all be it with humility. But something tells us should we have been none the wiser if it weren’t for the app displaying a message of “happy April Fool’s day”.

Bosch IXO Vino

bosch vino xl Bosch IXO Vino

If Tim “the Tool Man” Taylor was moonlighting as a sommelier, there’s no doubt he would have come up with something like the Bosch IXO Vino (£40; roughly $65). Combining a cordless screwdriver with a corkscrew adapter, the IXO Vino can open bottles of wine as easily as it puts together IKEA furniture, and has an integrated LED light so you don’t miss the bottle when operating in darkened cellars.
