World's Largest Digging Machine

This is the largest digging machine (or trencher or rotating shovel) in the world. It was built by Krupp and is shown here crossing a road in Germany on the way to its destination, an open air coal mine. Although at the mine the treads are unnecessary, it was cheaper to make the machine self-propelled than to try and move it with conventional hauling equipment. Some factoids: The machine is 95 meters high and 215 meters long (almost 2.5 football fields in length) Weight is 45,500 tons (that's equivalent to a bumper to bumper line of jeeps 80 miles long) It took 5 years to design and manufacture at a cost of $100 million Maximum digging speed is 10 meters per minute Can move more than 76,000 cubic meters of coal, rock, and earth per day

Slim G4 - World’s Thinnest Mouse

Slim G4 - World’s Thinnest Mouse

Everything’s now going super slim (apart from me of course). Mobile phones, notebooks and now mice too. The ultra-slim G4 Mouse, just 5mm thick, serves as a perfect tutorial for mobile mouse construction.
The uber-slim mousing instrument of the G4 optical mouse folds perfectly flat in order to fit in your PCMCIA slot when not in use, and when you’re ready, it pops out, ejects a USB cable, and folds into a more ergonomic position for all your mousing needs. It seems it just takes 10 seconds to go from its unbelievably thin structure to being fully usable.
It has a major advantage over a lot of mice, in that the USB cable stores neatly into the mouse when it’s not being used. The 800 DPI mouse boasts a left / right click and a touch-sensitive scroll wheel, is apparently Windows- compatible.
Available in pink, blue and silver colors with matching pouches, the Slim G4 Optical Mouse costs around $50

Top 10 Cutting-Edge Advances in CSI Technology

We’ve all watched episodes of those popular TV shows about crime scene investigation. They take place in various cities and the investigators are always glamorous and “dressed to kill.” We do see them working in the lab, yet many times we see them actually taking down the suspects with their own gun. Reality? Maybe, but crime scene investigation is exactly as the name implies—investigation. If you’ve ever wondered how to become a crime scene investigator, even if you don’t have a designer suit, you will need training on using these Top 10 technologies to catch criminals.
1. Facial Recognition Software
An investigator no longer has to follow his nose – he can use a photo of yours. You may think you can blend in with the crowd but your face won’t lie. So go ahead … shave your beard and dye your hair black. When facial recognition software compares your features to a database, you’ll have to face the music. Better to keep your nose clean.


2. Handheld Spectrometer
Flushing your stash won’t help … this handheld spectrometer can detect illegal drug residues that are completely invisible to the naked eye.  Also, that residue on your shoes, yes that brown stuff, this technology can be used to tell an investigator where you’ve been.  Better contact a lawyer!

3. Florescent Dye Solution
Florescent colors aren’t just a fashion statement lost to the 80’s.  Even the tiniest blood spatter is visible using florescent dye, and a detailed analysis can reveal the type of weapon, how the wound was inflicted, and even whether the criminal was right or left handed.

4. New processing techniques for latent prints
Don’t smudge that smudge!  Investigators itching to retrieve a fingerprint, but hesitant to disturb material that could be subjected to DNA analysis, may soon be able to use a non-contact retrieval technique.

5. Portable Laser
How many people can brag that they carry a portable laser to work? Now smaller, lighter, and more powerful than ever, investigators can use this high-tech tool to find more trace evidence and process crime scenes faster, and we all know that time is of the essence in crime fighting. Nothing short of amazing, even a miniscule piece of a nearly-invisible blond hair found using laser technology could lead to successful prosecution using DNA amplification.

6. Electrostatic Dust Print Lifter
Burglars don’t rock gloves as a fashion statement … they know fingerprints don’t just show up on doorknobs and glass. With electrostatic lifting kits, dust becomes electrically charged to reveal prints on everything from carpet to rough surfaces such as wood. Doesn’t that just make your hair stand up on end?

7. 3D Scanning
Tediously collecting, measuring, and preserving evidence and bloodstains covering multiple surfaces can be incredibly time consuming, just ask Dexter! Luckily, 3D scanning allows investigators to process crime scenes in a fraction of the time – and with more measurements. Scanned evidence can be analyzed immediately on a laptop at the scene.

8. Fingerprint Database
In a split second a fingerprint can pull up not just a name and photo, but height, weight, hair color … even scars, tattoos, and aliases. Did you know Billy the Kid’s real name was Henry McCarty? In a bank of over 50 million prints, it’s virtually impossible to slip through the cracks.

9. DNA Database
There’s no arguing with DNA. Now that the Combined DNA Index System computer database allows all levels of law enforcement to search your genetic code against known criminal offenders, the shadow of a doubt has become less than a sliver. DNA talks so crooks don’t walk!

10. Firearm Database
Like human faces, bullets have unique characteristics. When fired, they’re marked with unique patterns by the firearm. Comparing photographed markings in a database, firearms examiners can now link guns to both current and future crimes.
