Giant Mosquitoes Are Coming!
If there is one thing I would rid the world of, its pesky mosquitoes. They've been responsible for killing thousands across the world, spreading germs and disease.
Now there are these giant mosquitoes the size of a quarter that can easily pierce through your clothing to bite - and they're coming to you, Florida! Its not known how effective current bug repellants are either.
Saw this on Newsy, you can see the video here.
Biolite Grill Spotted @ REI
I honestly have not been keeping up with the news on this, but now apparently you can 'feed your fire' and yourself at the same time now.
Check back for a full demonstration.
Audi eTron R18 @ CES
Audi showed off their eTron R18 Quattro. Its a hybrid version of the R18 ultra. Electric motors for the front, and V6 510 HP in the back. It's just a stunning car you and I will probably never drive.
More pictures after the break.
@CES Mechanical Spider and Snake
Created by eatART, and apparently powered by Lenovo (at least I think that's the point of them being here at CES).
Nope, I did not get a chance to see them in action, but theVerge did.

Double Robotics Offers Wheels for iPad @ CES
Saw these guys for the first time - they're based out of Sunnyvale. For $2000, and your iPad 2/3, you can have your very own remote telepresence robot to be there, without really being there.
One will run you about $1999 right now, before the price goes up when finally released. All things considered, that's actually fairly priced.
Too bad there is no charging dock right now, nor is there an automated patrol type setup. SDK and APIs are available for developers to add those features.
CES Traffic Jam
If you are getting here in the morning, it's faster walking than by car/bus. Better to take the tram. Literally 1 hour traffic jam from the Wynn.
SpiderWing!
Make this 10 times larger, with thousand times the payload capacity and we got something here!
