Architect Bitchfight: Which Crazy Mega Bridge Tower Will Dominate?
Just like inner-city drug kingpins and high-seas pirates, architects also often find themselves eyeball to eyeball in deadly cutthroat fights. This time around, the Broken Bottle award goes to two firms trying to revamp the mouth of Copenhagen's harbor with a crazy bridge-building. One team wan
How many atoms to build a computer?
Because transistors will inevitably stop to shrink in size in the future, European researchers are studying atomic-scale computing. According to ICT Results, this would allow computer processes to be carried out in a single molecule. ‘In theory, atomic-scale computing could put computers more powe

Gesture-Controlled Light Switch is Like a Trackpad For Your House
The hardware in Mac Funamizu's gesture-controlled light switch would be very, very simple—after all, it's just a trackpad. But it's the input methods that make this exciting: just as laptop trackpads can track gestures for scrolling, this light switch would parse them to control up a roomful

China Withholds Valuable Materials Needed for Electric Cars From Japan
Unless China and Japan can sort out their shit and the exportation of rare earth elements can proceed into Japan, the future of electric cars could be thrown into jeopardy. Production of cars like the Prius could slow down dangerously. According to the NY Times, a tiff between China and Japan ove
Toshiba 64GB SDXC Card Is Will Be the World's Largest, Fastest
On one hand, it's great to see the SDXC standard—which theoretically tops out at 2TB—flexing its muscles a little bit. On the other, I kinda wish Toshiba wouldn't announce a record-breaking SD card six months before release. Toshiba's upcoming line update stretches from 16GB to 64GB, with rea
A Quick Look at the 10-Inch Aspire One 103
A 10-inch version of the popular Acer Aspire One netbook is on the way, as proven in this first set of real-live photographs.

The US military is gonna need some new fighter jets at some point, probably after 2025. It’s never too early for Boeing to start pitching for their business!
The two twin-engine concepts can both fly either with a pilot or without, and they definitely bear a strong resemblance to the famous stealth bomber.
They’ll be replacing the F/A-18E/F, which entered into service only back in 1999, making them relatively new planes. But it takes so long to design, test and manufacture these planes, not to mention get through governmental red tape to authorize the purchases, that they have to start prepping a good 15 years before deliveries are anticipated.
My only concern is that there doesn’t look to be much cargo space. What if you want to pack a lunch? Back to the drawing board, Boeing. [Flight Global, Thanks, Jason!]
