If you accept, it spits out cash The EcoATM machine is a fully automated phone recycler that lets users drop off old mobiles - then pays for them in cash. It's a cupboard-sized machine with a big touch screen and metal tray where you can place your old phone or MP3 player. EcoATM already has some machines in California, but is rolling out across the U.S. shortly. The first machine accepts mobile phones and MP3 players - a new version will also accept Galaxy Tab devices, iPads, Kindles and Nooks. If you accept, it spits out cash.

Meet the eyeborg: Film-maker turns his prosthetic eye into a miniature video camera. By Claire Bates Updated: 14:18 GMT, 26 August 2011 A one-eyed documentary filmmaker has revealed how he has turned his prosthetic eye into a miniature video camera.
Rob Spence, from Toronto, is able to record what he sees through his other eye. It is not linked to his brain and hasn't restored his vision. Here's looking at you: Mr Spence's revolutionary eye camera in action He is working with the makers of a new video game - Deus Ex: Human Revolution - that imagines a world in 2027 when cyborgs roam the streets. 'If you think about it, all this technology is moving towards the body,' he told the Metro. 'I've already started.' The device crams a video camera, wireless transmitted and battery inside Rob's empty eye socket - no mean feat when you consider the tallest space is only 9mm high.
Aeroplane created using a 3D printer in world first: Scientists create aircraft with 100mph max speed. By Daily Mail Reporter Updated: 07:34 GMT, 8 August 2011 This plane is the first in the world to be created using the groundbreaking new technology of '3D printing'.
The aircraft was built using only a computer - but it can get up to a speed of 100mph and has a two-metre wingspan. It was produced using a special nylon laser printer that builds up an item layer-by-layer. Ground-breaking: The plane was produced by a 3D printer - but can still go up to 100mph The parts were made separately and attached using a 'snap fit' technique so the aircraft could be put together without tools in minutes. No fasteners at all were used in the manufacture of the plane. The breakthrough by the team of engineers from the University of Southampton's Computational Engineering and Design Research group could revolutionise aircraft manufacture. Unmanned and electrically powered, the plane can cruise in near silence and is also equipped with a miniature autopilot system.
