A lawsuit almost stalled NASA’s Cassini mission

Captain Scott Kelly wasn't kidding when he famously quipped that "space is hard". Even getting to the launch pad can prove to be a daunting challenge. Take the Cassini mission to study Saturn, for example. Despite an investment of $3.4 billion and ne...

Aromatic Alarms!

mojo_alarm_1

Ever woken up to the smell of fresh coffee, or sizzling bacon, or just the fragrance of your loved one? Smell has a way to invigorate you in a way that sound can’t. The Mojo fragrance alarm relies on that property by using fragrances to wake you up so you feel absolutely refreshed and vibrant!

The Mojo’s design is innovative and has a clever detail. The fragrance grill takes inspiration from the Fibonacci arrangement in a flower, making a rather clever reference to the way humans smell lowers for their unique and pleasing fragrances. While the idea of waking up to fragrances isn’t for everyone, Mojo works as a conventional alarm clock too. Either set your alarm time and fragrance manually on the Mojo, or use the Mojo app to configure when you want to wake up, and to what aroma!

Mad Catz confirms M.O.J.O. Android ‘micro console’

Mad Catz confirms MOJO Android console

Mad Catz CEO Darren Richardson may have already let slip about the forthcoming Android M.O.J.O. console, but now it's been made official. The firm stopped short of giving us all the specifications, but we can tell you that it supports Bluetooth 4.0, and will ship with the company's GameSmart C.T.R.L.R. wireless GamePad. Thanks to the images, we also get a clue at some of the connectivity, which includes two regular USB ports, one micro-USB, an HDMI out, headphone connector and microSD slot. The wedge-like device is out there in the wild at E3, so we'll be sure to give it the full hands-on once it's spotted in its natural habitat.

Mad Catz CEO announces ‘Project M.O.J.O.’ Android gaming console coming at E3

Mad Catz CEO announces 'Project MOJO' Android gaming console coming at E3

So, what with E3 just over the horizon, we're expecting a bunch of gaming news. But a new contestant in the Android gaming market? From an established gaming hardware maker? Well, apparently so, according to Mad Catz CEO Darren Richardson who announced "Project M.O.J.O." in a recent earnings call. Calling it an Android "micro console," Richardson claims it's like a supercharged smartphone, without a display, that you plug into a flatscreen TV. Richardson was also keen to stress that it's all about hardware performance, and will be open platform (rather than selling content). There are no details about specification at this stage, but M.O.J.O. is likely to be the fruit of a recent NVIDIA partnership, and will be the centerpiece of Mad Catz's own GameSmart products, which ensures a slew of peripherals and controller options. This partnership also likely means Tegra Zone compatibility, and therefore games from launch. For now we'll have to sit and wait, but it looks like Android gaming is about to step up a gear.
