Amazon Discount Finder: Find hidden 75%-off deals & more Buying from Amazon's European sites rather than Amazon UK can be cheaper. Clever tool Priceonline.eu checks prices across Amazon's sites in France, Germany, Italy, Spain and the UK. (It also checks prices in the USA, but there you may need to pay customs, plus consumer rights vary.) The weakened pound means items might cost slightly more than they would have on Amazon EU sites, but there are still bargains to be had. For example, we found some Bose Soundsport in-ear headphones for £30 on Amazon Italy, which cost £62 on Amazon UK.

the conversation Efforts to regulate the lucrative mining venture are not proving successful due to collusion and corruption. Megaproject construction has been a major response to globalization in the urban realm. Whether successful or not – and most impeachments are not – the fallout for the Democrats and the US will be deep and enduring. Creative thinking needs to go into implementing copyright in countries like Liberia. The storage vs bandwidth debate — Broadband News and Analysis Cloud computing, if anything, depends on the idea that we will have ample and cheap bandwidth that will allow us to access various types of information and services on any kind of device, anywhere. The rapid growth of cloud as outlined by Amazon CTO Werner Vogels at our Structure 2011 conference only underscores the need for more bandwidth.

Video: Japan’s Defense Ministry Develops Awesome Ball-Shaped Drone The world got a first glimpse of the “world’s first spherical flying machine” back in June this year, but its maker, Japan’s Ministry of Defense, decided it’s time to showcase it publicly a few days ago in Tokyo. And as you can see in the video embedded below, their ball drone is pretty awesome. The drone can stand still in mid-air, fly vertically and horizontally through narrow spaces at up to 60km/h, and (which is very cool) keep on moving when it hits the ground or a wall. Thanks to three gyro sensors in its body, the machine can keep also flying even if it’s hit by an obstacle. What’s also impressive is that the drone is made of spare parts that cost just US$1,400 in total. Here’s the video (in English, shot by DigInfo TV in Tokyo):

Google Glass podría enviar sonido sin usar auriculares: a través de ondas sobre el cráneo Google Glass podría implementar una tecnología que “crearía sonido” enviando vibraciones directamente a través del cráneo del usuario. Los documentos presentados muestran una tecnología que estaría en fase experimental y usarían la conducción ósea para crear sonido de una forma diferente a la que estamos acostumbrados a través del aire con los altavoces convencionales. Si hacemos una retrospección en la historia de la tecnología, recordaremos que no es nueva pero no ha llegado al gran consumo. ¿Y por qué no? Principalmente porque los usuarios quieren escuchar su música y no los ruidos del ambiente, y con esa tecnología eso no se puede eliminar. Por ahora existen auriculares caros que te anulan esos ruidos y te ofrecen una calidad de sonido muy buena.

The Magnet (film) The Magnet is a 1950 Ealing Studios comedy film, and gave James Fox his first starring role. The story revolves around a young Wallasey boy, Johnny Brent (Fox), whose deceptive obtaining of the eponymous magnet leads to confusion and ultimately him being hailed as a hero, but feeling guilt at his slyness. Johnny Brent (Fox), whilst off school in quarantine for scarlet fever, manages to con a younger boy out of a magnet by swapping it for an "invisible watch". However the little boy's nanny accuses him of stealing, which makes Johnny feel guilty: he runs away but then tries to get rid of the magnet, particularly after an older boy uses it to cheat at a pinball machine and the owner thinks Johnny is involved. He then meets an eccentric iron lung maker who is raising funds for the local hospital and gives him the magnet which is later auctioned for charity. The Magnet at the Internet Movie Database

Interesting A retired farmer has spent more than 30 years building an enormous scale model of a Biblical temple. Alec Garrard, 78, has dedicated a massive 33,000 hours to constructing the ancient Herod's Temple, which measures a whopping 20ft by 12ft. The pensioner has hand-baked and painted every clay brick and tile and even sculpted 4,000 tiny human figures to populate the courtyards. Historical experts believe the model is the best representation in the world of what the Jewish temple actually looked like and it has attracted thousands of visitors from all over the globe. But Mr Garrard, who started the elaborate project in his 40's, says his masterpiece will not be finished in his lifetime. "I've always loved making models and as I was getting older I started to think about making one big project which would see me through to the end of my life," he said.

Be Your Own Souvenir So you’re at the museum, and deep down in the sub-basement right next to the restrooms you happen to discover an enormous machine that looks like it was pulled from the Aliens II movie set. And then you notice you can insert a dollar, and suddenly the machine whirs to life and pipes hot, neon green plasticine into a mold in front of your very eyes as you inahale noxious fumes. Within moments you’re in the possession of a bona-fide neon green submarine, a memento of your visit to the museum that smells strange for days.
