Knight Armour redux, invented by Troy Hurtubise for just $2000 apiece

This armored suit called the Trojan has withstood knives, bullets, light explosives, clubs, and even a round from an elephant gun, it sounds like quite the winner. Proclaimed to be the “first ballistic, full exoskeleton body suit of armor,” Trojan is crafted from high-impact plastic lined with ceramic bullet protection over ballistic foam, and features nearly endless compartments, morphine / salt containers, knife and gun holsters, emergency lights, a built-in recording device, pepper spray, ingestible transponder for those “last resort” scenarios, and there’s even a fresh air system powered by solar panels within the helmet. Mr. Hurtubise claims the 18 kilograms (40 pounds) suit is comfortable enough to make road trips in (yes, he tried it), and if any major military would take him up on it, they could reportedly be produced for “around $2,000 apiece.” Now that’s a bargain, folks.

First watch running on Windows Mobile 5 engine

Epoq, which has already had a video watch on the market for some time, has developed what is believed to be the first wristwatch running Windows Mobile 5. Its EGP-WP98B claims to have an OLED touchscreen, 1.28GB of memory, Wi-Fi networking, Bluetooth, VoIP support, and–get this–handwriting recognition. And a faux alligator wristband, of course.

Scary MS Vista Vid – a spoof???

The chorus goes a little something like this:

“If they have been waiting / No more hesitating / When they see the improvements in security / The desktop and mobility and productivity / They’ll say ‘Vista gotta get me some’”

A Microsoft spokesperson told ChannelWeb the video is a joke, and was developed as a way for its sales team to “poke fun at themselves a bit.”

We hear you MS, loud and clear.
