Watch 1,208 Porsche 911s collect at Silverstone for world record

Porsche has been spending the majority of 2013 celebrating the 50th birthday of the 911, with its latest stunt taking the German brand to the home of British motorsports, Silverstone. To celebrate, Porsche invited enthusiasts to take their personal 911s on a lap of the former airfield, and boy, did the Porschephiles show up. 1,208 911s took part in the lap around the Grand Prix circuit, making it the largest-ever gathering of the iconic, rear-engined cars. This wasn't just a celebration of 50 years for the 911, though.

Kwikset Kevo lets you open your front door with a gentle caress

Kwikset, longtime makers of locks and keys, have announced that their new Kevo deadbolt lock will be available for pre-order starting today. The Kevo looks like a standard deadbolt style lock that you might find installed in most doors. But it uses Bluetooth Low Energy™ 4.0 technology to turn your smartphone into an electronic key (eKey). Once configured, you don't even need to remove your phone from your pocket. Just walk up and touch the Kevo to unlock the lock.

Samsung Galaxy Note 2 with Snapdragon 600 launches in China... that's probably as far as it'll go

Samsung Galaxy Note 2 with Snapdragon 600 launches in China... that's probably as far as it'll go

I was excited to read about news that Samsung's Galaxy Note 2 — the phablet hit that inspired other competitors to step into the “big-ger” phone game — would be getting another launch, except this time it'll have a Snapdragon 600 processor. The Exynos 4412 sitting inside the original Galaxy Note 2 isn't bad, but Qualcomm's Snapdragon 600 is so nice that I'd probably buy the phone again just for it. Such a phone is launching in China, but unfortunately it doesn't seem those of us in other parts of the world will be quite as lucky.

Aside from those five sensors and GPS functionality through your smartphone - iPhone only at the moment, but an Android app is being finished off - the camera itself can take 5-megapixel shots, with a dedicated glass hybrid wide-angle lens which captures a fixed-focus 136-degree view. Other technical specs include 8GB of storage, which will hold up to 28,000 images (which works out at over 12 days of capture on the highest frequency setting). There's also a medium and low frequency option, which you can switch between using the two-button setup on the right edge of the device.

Disney's Papillon Tech Offers Robots Come With Expressive Eyes

Disney's Papillon Tech Offers Robots Come With Expressive Eyes

Disney's forte would be their cartoons – and one thing about cartoons that we know of would be this; they come with extremely attractive eyes. Disney has come up with a new technology that they call Papillon, which happens to be a bundle of optical fibers that have been printed with the Papillon 3D printing tech. Using this particular technique, researchers realized that they are able to project an image on one end of the bundle, while making it appear at the other end.

Newsmy Newman Q20 Netbook Tablet Hybrid

Newsmy Newman Q20 Netbook Tablet Hybrid

For those of you who were around when Nokia ruled the mobile phone scene, and there was no such thing as a smartphone yet, let alone a color display on your handset, I am quite sure that you would have come across the Nokia Communicator. Sure, it was far from being the most svelte nor smallest handset out there, but in terms of raw computing power among phones, not many others came close. We are talking about a mobile device that is capable of letting you work on your documents on the go, arriving in a horizontal clamshell form factor.

Many gamers already believe both the Xbox One and PlayStation 4 will be huge eyesores in their living room, dorm or bedroom, but Sony has taken it upon themselves to do a bit of comparing between the launch version of the PlayStation 4 and the launch version of the PlayStation 3.
