Tresling is a brilliant fusion of popular computer game tetris and macho arm wrestling. The game utilizes a sophisticated arm wrestling board which converts tussling moves into block movements within the tetris game. |
|
You control how your blocks turn with your arm wrestling moves. If you falter often enough, your blocks keep stacking up and you eventually lose. [TechEBlog]

Zoombak from the UK has presented their latest GPS gadget for the world to see. It isn’t a normal GPS navigation system like many others, the new product works mainly as a GPS locator - for vehicles and pets (dogs). The working mode is simple: just place the locator on your car/pet, and follow the information about its location, which can be delivered by email, or text messages for your cellphone. |
|
As it happens with other devices of the same kind, users can setup the GPS locator to trigger an alarm if the “target” goes beyond a selected area. [Zoombak]

Audi officially reveals the 2009 Q5, which “utilizes the same underpinnings as the A5 coupe and A4 sedan/wagon. That means the Q5 has a longitudinally mounted engine rather than the transverse powerplant found in the smaller VW Tiguan. |
|
Compared to the Q7, the Q5 looks substantially more compact than its hefty sibling and is much tidier design overall, keeping with Audi’s current pretensions of being a premium sporting brand. [Audi]

Ever wonder what would happen if a pelican hit an F-111 that was flying at just over 340mph? Well these two photos should give you a pretty good idea. The incident happened in Australia at Evans Head in the northern part of New South Wales about a week ago. |
|
The plane was flying at around 3,000 feet during a test bombing raid when a pelican collided with the fiberglass nosecone and was then sucked into one of the engines. As you can see, the nosecone itself was nearly destroyed and other damage included a hole in the wing as well as an engine failure. However, the two RAAF pilots were still able to safely land the heavily damaged plane, and are being hailed as heroes. [FAZED]
