TiVo tools.
The new TiVo third party toolset announcement looks really ho-hum until you dig deep into the concept, at which point light bulbs start popping. The tools allow anyone with smarts and content like TV programs or music videos, to ‘broadcast’ it directly to TiVo boxes using broadband, i.e. without going through the traditional TV network routes . The Ferret reckons that this is colossal stuff, peeps, ‘cause once broadband is everywhere, all it needs is a widespread deployment of this kind of tech…

A total of 16 Segway HTs and 25 electric bikes…

Syn-ful future.
The Ford SYN US concept car. With its slit windows and menacing front profile this concept urban vehicle looks like something out of Judge Dredd. An armoured car SUV for the terminally frightened perhaps? Look well suburbanites, for this is your post-Hummer future. The architecture of the SYN US comes from the Ford Fiesta and the inspiration definitely came from bank vaults and armored cars – this concept’s exterior design immediately communicates that it takes security seriously.

Senso the dramatic.
The Rinspeed Senso is billed as the ‘most sensuous car in the world’. Let’s just hope that it’s not too temperamental or high maintenance as well, eh? More here. …the idea behind the car is that it will sense and adapt to the driver’s mood. The car apparently uses a combination of biometric and other information to assess the driver’s mindset, then assists the driver to reach an optimum state of mind by altering ambient light, and “feel, smell and sound.”

Flying ferrets.
The Capanina Project. Actually this should be filed under ‘random press releases I have received this week which don’t say much at all really.’ Solar Power Aircraft Will Make Broadband Available To All…“The opportunities offered by HAPs..[high altitude platforms]..are exciting as they could deliver broadband connections which are 2,000 times faster than a traditional modem and 200 times faster than today’s ‘wired’ ADSL broadband.

Death of the arcade?
The Holo Dek Sphere. A game centre which incorporates a giant sphere with 360 degree vision and a host of other immersive tools for computer gaming? The future of public visual entertainment? When Sullivan powers up the game Far Cry, the room floods with light and the wall seems to fall away, replaced by palm trees and tropical blue sea and the sandy beach of a desert atoll. Tiny, frothy waves lap at the carpet from the bottom of the screen, rendered in exquisite…
