Helenair over at Metacafe uploaded this video of the first preparation flight of a 1/5th scaled MIG-29 fighter-jet. The going gets tasty at around 3min 15s, so skip ahead for the goodies.
We do not know a great deal about the project except; the team has seemingly created a sweet RC scaled MIG-29, costing between $5,000—$15,000 and the replica was fitted with two turbine engines, which were not tested at their full capacity. Helenair said, regarding the test:
“We never go full throttle cox the engine (2 turbine) are too powerful, apply full throttle the plane will go out of sight in matter of seconds.”
We are not sure about you, but we want to see those bad-boys at full throttle—seconds of excitement sounds familiar and awesome to us! [Metacafe via Techeblog]

Elecom’s USB 2.0 memory card reader supports all of the following; SDHC, SD, MMC, xD and Sony’s Memory Stick MagicGate/Pro/Duo cards. That is nothing out of the ordinary; a cross format reader is near enough the norm these days. Elecom goes one better with a storage space built into the card reader.
Now, that is the art of simplistic, useful design. This very much begs the question; why did no one think of this earlier? Elecom’s marvel of functionality is set to ship on October 20th 2007, available in; blue, black, red or white trims and will be priced at $28.13. [Product Page via Gadgetell]

When darkness falls, the Buzz Box is activated to emit a high-pitched “buzzing” noise, not too dissimilar to the noise made by a large mosquito thirsty for blood. The use?
If you have enemies, (with a personality like yours that is more than likely), hide this in their apartment. Slowly but surly, they will begin to resent life, then you can watch them transform into an insomniac with paranoid tendencies focused on the evils and dangers of mosquitoes and wasps. And you will laugh, a hearty laugh, each night before you lay down to blissful slumber. Kill Bill, eat yer’ heart out.
Priced at £4.99 ($10.21) each, they are only available in batches of twelve, so you are going to need a dozen enemies to make it a worthwhile purchase. Shouldn’t be difficult. [Product Page via Nerd Approved]

Auto Blog Show has released these pictures of an incident, in Russia, involving a Motorola RAZR 2 advertising campaign and a nearby Mercedes.galleryPost(\’MeRcd\’, 3, \’MeRcd\’);
Details are sketchy at the minute, but check back for updates. There were no paramedics on the scene, so we are guessing everyone escaped injury free. Everyone but the Mercedes, which surly has seen better days.
Update: As some readers have already pointed out; everything is all well, it was a rather grand marketing scheme by Motorola. Hats off, good one, sirs. [Auto Blog Show]
