Great Scott! this Kickstarter project can actually fly...

Always wanted to fly on a hoverboard? well Kickstarter has a project that just might work for you and your inner Marty McFly , presenting the Hendo Hoverboard ,this weird looking apparatus is probably the best example of science at work . The hoverboard features 4 "Engines" which are essentially 4 strong downward facing electromagnets that create a repulsion when it comes into contact with a non iron or steel metal surface ,this effect in return causes the board to lift ,but sadly the board will only levitate if its on top of such a surface ,and therefore the board will not work outside which is a bummer considering that your plans of becoming the next silver surfer are ruined . But fear not , this technology is still at its infancy , but till the technology matures , users can expect to move in directions thanks to a system that will increase and decrease intensity in order for you to move faster , the lack of friction between the two surfaces means that you can basically travel ~~till infinity and beyond~~ a large distance after getting a single push . The Kickstarter project is still accepting generous monetary backings from hoverboard fans right now ,A developer edition "Whitebox" ,which is said to ship next October (2015) will be priced $299 and for that you get a Hendo Hoverboard Engine kit- which is basically the components needed to make a DIY hoverboard of your liking , the box will also include a some promotional stickers and t-shirts . The company also hopes to make a few bucks off ticket sales for its first VIP conference and even flying lessons which are priced $1000 and above , and for all you folk who want to own one for real , the price for the board is a bit steep -$10000 to be precise .

HTC One to sell as TD 101 at China Mobile

HTC decided to invest in such a brand by launching the One series of smartphones last year, although the company was not able to impose its own product names to certain carriers. Then, just a few days ago, the company launched the HTC One, which is going to be the company’s only One-branded handset this year, a make-or-break kind of project for the Taiwanese Android maker that’s still having a tough time fighting against the competition, especially Samsung. We were under the impression that HTC will further invest in its One brand and not budge to carrier demands anymore when it comes to changing the name of the product – in the U.S., AT&T, Sprint and T-Mobile are going to sell it as the HTC One. But it looks like things aren’t necessarily so, and no, it’s not Verizon that’s going to get its way selling the One as the Droid DNA Plus, as it was recently rumored. We’re looking at China Mobile this time around, which has announced the HTC One as the HTC TD 101. That’s certa
