In the last Philadelphia Car Show on February 2-20, 2008, Michelin has introduced a pair of next generation of tires. These are airless tyres and are scheduled to be out on the market very soon.This is a bit radical design from Michelin. They may not look that nice though, but they’re sure to be the next-generation of tires when they come out. This is an outstanding achievement of great research and development (R&D). After this there will be no more air valves, no more repair kits, and also no more air compressors at gas stations. Also, there will be no more flat tires! Thing is, spike strips won’t work anymore on these tires, for it wasn’t air inflated. Cool huh!
Here is a few closer looks on them:

Football or Soccer has managed to influence almost everything in our life, including the designers of gadgets for some time; we have seen many different devices that follow this sport inspiration. In this article, we are reviewing the design of an MP3 player though football related, looks remarkably like the core of uranium (like in the movies when the crook is preparing to nuclear strike a town).
The design of this MP3 player is probably one of the most distinctive shaped MP3 players available. Its lines and details makes it a very desirable gadget. Sized only 4.5cm makes it looks more attractive, and a value added portability.
Features in the player also included an 80 x 48 resolution OLED screen, a stopwatch, up to 30 preset FM radio stations nad comes with 256MB, 512MB and 1GB of internal memory. This round yet nice MP3 player has all the desired qualities with a great look, plus it suits everyone!

Just a short tidbit, but it has all the makings of a great soap opera. First chapter: Intel thinks the CPU can be a GPU. Second chapter: Nvidia is offended. Third chapter (where we are right now): Nvidia fires back and says the CPU is dead. Wonderful! Can there be a more entertaining piece just before the weekend? Sit back and enjoy!
