Tron mouse leaves a trail like a Light Cycle
Movie-branded computer peripherals normally aren’t all that interesting. However, given Tron’s unique aesthetic, we’ll always take a peek. Tell us it acts like a Light Cycle, and all the sudden we’re all kinds of interested.
Razer, a name familiar to folks who enjoy playing PC games (I’ve got a Diamondback on my desk right now), is bringing out a Tron-branded mouse that boasts the familiar neon streaks it needs to carry such a name. What’s more, it’ll even leave a faint tail when you use it with Razer’s accompanying Tron mousepad, just like a Light Cycle.
The mouse and pad should be out soon for . You can check out the effect in the video below.

GoPro unveils new HD Hero 960 wearable camcorder
Posted in Camcorders,Cameras by Shane McGlaun on September 30th, 2010
GoPro has been offering wearable and mountable camcorders for a while now. The latest offering from the company shares many of the same features of the older cameras at a much cheaper price. The new camera is called the HD Hero 960.
The camera supports 720p resolution, but not the 1080p resolution of the other more expensive cameras in the GoPro line. The 960 also gives up the expansion bus on the bottom of the higher-end cameras so it can’t be fitted with the extra battery or LCD back GoPro offers.
The 960 ships with a couple mount options including a head strap to let you wear the camera like a hat on your head or on a helmet. It also comes with a flat and curved surface adhesive mount and a waterproof case. The camera sells for 9 and is available now.

Concrete cloth is ‘a building in a bag’

Essentially, it’s like a tent that’s blown up with a compressor. But once it’s up, it can be sprayed with water to be solidified into a solid structure that’s waterproof and fireproof. It’s perfect for situations like disaster relief when time is of the essence. Just check out the below video to see it in action.
