Note: Video is after the jump because even I peed a little and I’m exposed this this sort of thing everyday. Autonomous drones that can assemble themselves into a flying mothership. Crap.

Technology is an ever-progressing front, and as we welcome the next batch of great inventions, we also have to take in the minor steps in the same direction as well. Then again, getting a monitor that not only receives its display signal from the next step in Bluetooth tech, but is also powered by it, may not be all that minor at all. Thanks to 3M , you can now safely debate the subject, as they’ve gone ahead and demoed their first monitor that does just that. 3M have gone ahead and pulled the curtain from their first USB 3.0 -powered monitor

Take one lesbian nun, a scythe, six upgradeable weapons, hordes of undead, and some of the smoothest visuals I have ever seen on the iPhone, and you’ve got yourself a solid $2.99 action title in the form of Twin Blades . If you’re into mindless zombie destruction coupled with incredibly stylish action (and don’t mind a bit, well, a lot of repetition), then Twin Blades will deliver in spades

Okay, this might be the coolest thing that I am going to see all day. It is essentially the Super Nintendo Entertainment System (SNES) running on an emulator, with an iPhone used as the controller. This application is built on ZodTTD’s emulator, the man who gave us the Playstation Emulator for Android devices . Yeah, apparently this is “coming soon” from Cydia . In order to get it, both your iPhone and iPad will need to be jailbroken

If there’s one iPhone accessory you might want to consider for your iPhone 4, it’s a stand. Even if you’re not a case person, a stand will be pretty useful for the 4 because of the emphasis on this…

Just dropping in to let you know where we are with Nerd Approved’s Oatmeal, Coffee, Bacon Stout project . The fermentation process has concluded, the beer tastes great so far, and it is set to move on into the most interesting stage. I was aiming for a final gravity reading of 1.013 (the measurement used to determine the level of fermentable sugars and final alcohol content in beer) and pretty much hit it dead on. I went ahead and racked the beer (transferred it to another container to clear it) where it will sit for about a week

We certainly don’t want to point the finger at a wildly-successful EVO 4G launch just yet, but it seems that Sprint’s voice service is down in New York City (data is still working, for what it’s worth). This is happening consistently for three of us here in the city with EVOs on hand, so it certainly seems like a real problem. We’re reaching out to Sprint for comment and we’ll let you know what we hear. [Thanks to everyone who sent this in] Update: And we just got this from Sprint — “One of our VoIP switches in New York did experience an equipment failure earlier today causing some traffic to be rerouted to another switching location during the repair process and resulting in call congestion for some Sprint customers. Our network operators are working aggressively to resolve this issue and hope to have service back to normal soon.” Let’s hope those glorious EVOs resume normal operation shortly.

For his final project in the course How To Make (almost) Anything , David Carr designed and built this 3-axis CNC milling machine . It’s probably not the most precise or powerful device, but it costs less than $90 to build, and can mill PCBs, wood, and even light steel

Building an LED flashlight is simple, right? Take a battery, connect it to an LED by way of a resistor. Alright wise guy, now make one that steps up the voltage for multiple LEDs and don’t use a boost-converter IC to do so. [fede.tft] shares a flashlight built inside of a used glue stick case . It’s the perfect size for one AA battery (we’re always on the lookout for good battery cases ), and a shape that we’re familiar with as a flashlight.

Here’s another reason to buy the Nexus One, and not just because it will have Android 2.2 (Froyo) earlier than other phones. Apparently, there is some new type of download that enables Google’s favorite phone to shoot at 720p resolution

Section: Web , Web 2.0 / Social Networking Watch out bit.ly! Twitter announced yesterday that it has begun testing its own URL shortener. The company says it’s necessary to improve security and also to provide analytics for its Promoted Tweets service. A post on their blog explains how the service works: All links shared on Twitter.com or third-party apps will be wrapped with a t.co URL. A really long link such as http://www.amazon.com/Delivering-Happiness-Profits-Passion-Purpose/dp/0446563048 might be wrapped as http://t.co/DRo0trj for display on SMS, but it could be displayed to web or application users as amazon.com/Delivering- or as the whole URL or page title. As of now the service is being tested on some employee accounts but Twitter plans to roll it out to users later this summer.

I am a big fan of Star Wars , but you won’t catch me sporting Darth Vader on my notebook or iPhone. I have a friend that has a Darth Vader hoodie – he’s 30. I mock him openly. If you are maybe 14 you can get away with sporting a shirt that says Team Edward or has Darth Vader, once you have a 2 in front of your age, it’s time to look for more grown up things for decorating your gear than Twilight characters by most accounts.

Moshi, the company that’s infatuated with people’s voices, loves to make things that get controlled by just the sound of your voice. While we love their clocks (even if it means we miss a couple of meetings here and there), we’ve got to say that going the Bluetooth speakerphone route is probably the most logical, and we’re glad to see a new gadget coming our way. This car speakerphone features one of Moshi’s most notable features
