Titan Robot @ Gitex Tech Week in Dubai - For people afraid of the impending machine takeover, this demonstration won’t be helping their sleep any.

Left 4 Dead 2 Leaked Trailer - I know everyone is bitter about them making a L4D2 so soon, when L4D the original is still so popular. But what can I say, I’m dying to play it however similar it may be to the last game.

Nikon D3s Video Footage - So the new D3s is impressing everyone with its incredible low-light capabilities which include an ISO range expandable to 102,400 (no, really!) It’s sensor is an evolved version of the one in the D3’s. Its still full-frame but has an improved single-to-noise ratio for shooting in low-light with those stratospheric ISO’s. It’s designed for photo journalists so video wasn’t a main concern but it still manages to catch incredible footage at 720P (seen here). -VincentMunier

It’s design amplifies the air it intakes by 10x and creates a solid wave of air, unlike fans that buffet and create uneven air. It’s $300, but damn is it bad-ass. -Dyson

Manhart Racing BMW V10 M3 Wagon - Take an E91 Wagon, make it look like an M3 and then slap a 5.0L M5 V10 in it and this is what you get. 0-60 in about 4.3 with a top speed just over 200mph! Sick. -Autoblog

Incredible Dinosaur Costume and Animatronics - I’ve seen the first raptor costume before, it was at a museum somewhere during a dinosaur exhibit. It’s basically half costume, with the top-end being animatronics. It even breathes warm steaming air from the mouth. The other two where just straight up impressive as they are all animatronics. Impressive! -DarkRoastedBlend
