North Koreans are in possession of vehicle mounted GPS jamming devices that can have a range of 50 to 100 kilometers said South Korean defense minister last week (to their defense nobody asked Kim Jong Il if they could beam GPS signals on North Korea) Apparently these GPS jamming devices were imported from Russia but no information was available on their numbers. There’s also the potential issue of electromagnetic pulse (EMP) bombs that can detonate high above the atmosphere and release gamma rays that can destroy electronic devices and computers but it sounds like North Koreans haven’t had time to work on this just yet. via Brought to you by your GPS navigation site NaviGadget .

asd The game SimCity came out in 1989, but its presence is still felt in every corner of the gaming industry. From new incarnations on consoles and PDAs and phones to new versions for PC and other platforms to influenced games for a variety of platforms, it is clear that Will Wright had SOMETHING right! The iPhone and iPad have been home to a number of games in this style, and I have just found my new favorite – Virtual City from G5 Entertainment! The Hype: Build a city of your dream – a residential paradise or an industrial center. Build dwelling houses and industrial buildings. Produce goods and deliver them to the shopping malls. Setup mass-transit system to take your citizens to places like parks, cinemas and stadiums.

Building the Plastruder isn’t too difficult, but it does take about two hours. I’m highlighting the general build process. You are going to want to follow the official directions carefully, double-checking everything. It’s not hard to build, but having a short, or other problem, can lead to disastrous results

Unless we’ve miscounted somewhere along the way (a distinct possibility), this week marks the 100th episode of our little outpost on the information superhighway. Of course, it wouldn’t be a Digital City show if everything ran smoothly, so you shouldn’t be surprised to find that Scott has been called away on urgent business and is here only in spirit (plus, he sent a note). Standing in is CNET News reporter Greg Sandoval , who joins the discussion on Windows 7 phones and Google’s top-secret music cloud project — but is stunned into silence by our extreme nerd-out over the past weekend’s New York Comic Con . The rest of us, however, happily narrate our photo galleries from the show, showcasing the usual collections of costumed character and overpriced collectibles

We know you’ve been waiting for our Apple TV review , and we’ve been playing with Apple’s second try at a home theater set top box for about ten days now, and figured it was time to report back with our thoughts. The thing is, it really is a lot of the same in terms of usability and interface. There aren’t many changes (yet!) to that side of things, despite things being very different under the hood. The new Apple TV is a lot smaller, and runs iOS 4 , and is priced at just $99. It’s centered around a focus on renting movies and TV shows rather than purchasing them.

Inflatable tanks were used in both world wars so this isn’t exactly new news but I’m posting it anyway with the hopes Russia sends me some free vodka for the good publicity. So, yeah — Russia has ordered a boatload of blow-up army vehicles at a cost of almost $3,200 per piece. Tell me — how much are you currently spending on assault rifles? Because I have a truckful of slingshots AND THEY ARE PRICED TO SELL, RUSKIES! The purchase has drawn sharp criticism from military analysts, who say the Kremlin should be spending its oil wealth on buying real military hardware rather than rubber copies. “Inflatable military hardware is most effective in conflict situations when there is a need to confuse the enemy,” the daily Komsomolskaya Pravda newspaper argued on Tuesday.

As you may have heard, last week in Stockholm a bunch of lucky stiffs talented, hard-working scientists (and one fiction author) got to meet the King of Norway.

Edwards for inventing the test tube baby; and the Chemistry prize , to Richard F. Heck, Ei-ichi Negishi, and Akira Suzuki for, ah, some other fancy tricks with carbon (plus palladium). That’s all well and good.
