The world’s largest passenger plane, the Airbus A380 Takes Flight!

The world’s largest passenger plane, the Airbus A380, has landed in Sydney on its first commercial flight, after a seven-hour journey from Singapore.
Singapore Airlines took delivery of the huge plane, dubbed the Superjumbo, just over a week ago. Passengers bought seats in a charity online auction.
It can carry some 850 passengers, but took about 450 to Sydney.
The superjumbo’s advent ends a reign of nearly four decades by the Boeing 747 as the world’s biggest airliner.
Basicly this is one fucking kick ass plane! oh and a first class ticket will only cost you 100,000$ for 7hr flight thats about 14 grand an hour or 250$ a min. Who needs a House? just blow that money on a plane ride.

Ben Heck unveils the Access one-handed controller

Everyone’s favorite hardware hacker Benjamin Heckendorn is at it again, and his latest mutant mashup is the one-handed Access controller. The modular rig features five interchangeable pods — one each for the analog sticks, d-pad, main buttons, and shoulder buttons — that can be rearranged to make any control scheme one-hand-friendly. Ben says the Access is in pre-production with eDimensional, and will be hitting in PS2 / 3 versions first with a planned 360 version to follow — although it certainly looks like a brave 360 controller was involved in making that prototype.

So if you have not jumped on the band wagon and started watching heroes by now, …. Do it now!
