Forget about multi-touch if this is a real display it will blow that away. Amazing video.

Courtesy of Boing Boing. I always love silly projects like this. It’s really quite interesting as he was paid by Stride gum to actually make this video. Either way it’s entertaining and good for a grin.

Here’s a wild video about something called a Prince Rupert Drop. Essentially a piece of glass is quickly cooled in water forming a drop with a tail. When removed the glass is virtually unbreakable, how ever if you remove the tail the drop shatters into tiny pieces.

Quite an amazing view, I wonder what the mountains in the background are.

Awesome! There was once water on mars!

Made with no IC’s! Just tons of transister, diodes, capacitors and resistors. Amazing, I’d love to build something like this I don’t know I have the patience.
