Any new mobile phone related goodness is welcome around here, so we’re really loving this Mobile Ticket business from the Washington Nationals, MLB Advanced Media, and Tickets.com. Starting now — yeah, this is immediate stuff, friends — when you pick up tickets for the game at the Washington Nationals site, delivery options include sending it to your handset via picture messaging (check the pic). Once the receipt is received on your mobile you can head straight to the gate where the barcode on your ticket is scanned and presto, you are in. We think that the movietickets.com people really have to get in on this action, like, now!

A solar-powered air conditioner doesn’t do one much good during a Vermont winter, but rather than cranking on the heater (or huddling under the heated Hello Kitty mat) just to heat things up in a relatively small garage, a clever DIYer set out to concoct his own solar heater using scrap parts and a bit of free time. The solar wall was primarily built with black-painted soda cans, a wooden wall, plexiglass cover, and an inlet and outlet to channel the air around. The homegrown “solar furnace” captured the sunlight beaming onto the south side of the building, and as cool air found its way into the toasty cans and rose through drilled out portals, it managed to heat up a respectable 15-degrees Fahrenheit before escaping into the garage. The creator did note that his next attempt would sport a relocated inlet and be much larger in size, but if you’re interested in putting a few in-the-way parts to good use next winter, be sure to hit the read link for a pictorial how-to.

Office Depot Featured Gadget: Xbox 360 Platinum System Packs the power to bring games to life!

Original post by Darren Murph

University of Tokyo researchers have created a sheet of plastic one millimeter thick that can deliver 40 watts of power to objects on it — or EVEN NEAR IT! This fish bowl is sitting on the sheet, and the light inside is powered by it through the glass and water. The secret sauce for the plastic is pentacene, which is an organic molecule with controllable electrical conductivity. When this technology hits the market (in about five years), you’ll be able to buy a desk that powers or charges any object sitting on it.

Pushing the envelope is what it’s all about, and for companies cranking out Wiimote-like devices to make gaming and PC experiences more eventful, even that’s not enough to satisfy a bevy of outfits with their eyes set on getting biofeedback into games. Companies such as Emotiv Systems, CyberLearning, and our old friend NeuroSky are all looking to take advantage of the public’s current curiosity about thought-controlled (and influenced) gaming by offering up electrode-laced headsets that read a variety of brain impulses to effect gameplay. Essentially, these gel-free caps rely on technology such as electromyography (EMG), which records twitches and other muscular movements, and electrooculography (EOG), which measures changes in the retina, in order to change the way games are experienced. For instance, a nervous, uneasy GTA player would barely be able to aim at his / her enemies, while a daydreamer would have a hard time staying on course and reaching full speed while playing Gran Turismo. Unsurprisingly, said companies have noted that “finding their target markets” have been the most difficult aspect, and certain analysts rightfully question whether gamers would actually enjoy such “mentally taxing restrictions” on their games, but if all goes as planned, we should start seeing a few more options in the commercial brain-interface market before too long.

We’re not too sure what to make of this, but the industry journal Mobile/Cellular Technology slips a couple interesting details in its profile page for T-Mobile USA: one, that it’ll be picking up the Nokia N90 (a little old, no?), and more interestingly, that it’ll also rock the N95. To be fair, they manage to accidentally swap the N90′s and N95′s pictures in their sidebar, so they may have absolutely no idea what they’re talking about, but for a country (and a carrier) starved for S60 devices, this is a rumor we’d very much like to cling to. As always, we’ll remain cautiously optimistic unless we’re given sufficient reason to the contrary.

Carnegie Mellon University Robotics Institute eggheads have created a robot that climbs up walls, then across the ceiling — fast! The robot uses sticky-feet fibers “twice as adhesive as those used by real geckos.” The robot is compact and maneuverable, according to engineers, and by far the NIMBLEST CLIMBING ROBOT YET CREATED. It even has a tail (useful for leveraging the robot into strong contact with the surface it’s climbing). Here comes the VIDEO! Wow! Look at it go!
