Wildcat Robot

Very nice.  The only issue I can see is engine noise and how well will this handle rough terrain?

If the tech boggles can get one these to run quietly and be capable of evacuating casualties without the bouncing hurting them there are cheap at twice the price.

On the bouncing and jouncing, I wonder if a 6 legged 'Bot would be better to reduce the stress on the system as well.

Young High School Scientist builds his own submarine

"[Justin Beckerman] built a functioning one-man submarine. The thing is, this isn’t the first one that he’s built. Looking through the projects on his website we find almost no information about this build, but he does show off one previous model, as well as a couple of unmanned underwater rover projects."

We need more young inventors like this.  Thinking outside of the box and building things partly for the cool factor but also as testbeds for further study.  Can you imagine our special operations troops using something like this to help them do their jobs?  A small sub that could carry 1 or 2 men and their equipment that costs less than $5,000.00. 

INGENIOUS!!!!

I want one to tool around the bay, maybe just a little bit larger to take kids for rides.  Major Kudos and Kewl Points sir.

Please seriously read the comments.  The stupidity, misinformation and vitriol being spewed would be hilarious if it wasn't so pathetic.

Malicious Redirect Hack

"The concept is driven home right away by a link in the post which lists PayPal as the target when you hover over it with your mouse. Clicking on it will give you a warning that it could have been a malicious page you were redirected to. Of course the address line of the page shows that you were sent somewhere else, but it’s still an interesting issue. The hack is accomplished with just a few lines of JavaScript. In fact, the original example was 100 characters but a revision boils that down to just 67."

You know the trick where you hover over a link to see where it goes?  Well this hack will show you an benign link, then redirect you to something that good be malicious.  So click the above link and check it out.  This is something you need to be aware of, and make sure your family members, such as parents/grandparents who aren't computer savvy know about this, so they can protect themselves.
