This is pretty neat. *promote

As for more ideas; I didn't hear if the Rubik's Cubes were random (as in P & T went and bought their own for this trick). If he brought his own Cubes, then things change again. Since after all he could be engineering Rubik's Cubes with some added perks.

It'd require some pretty good "quirky" engineering knowledge (and BTW, this is quite common with magicians)... But he may be able to make a Rubik's Cube that with a touch to a button, change in acceleration, heat & cold, etcetera, perform many simple yet crucial tricks to complete his act.

Anyway, it all depends on what his goal is for the Cube. He may NOT want a Cube that solves itself instantly with a press of the button (plus that may be a little too much over-engineered). But, you could have stickers that switch color via various means, like a switch based on temperature.

It all depends as well as what is available out there. There are a lot of very tricky things you could accomplish if you truly had the ability to get some of these items.

It's very hard to tell you what types of abilities this Cube could have; it's probably easier to tell you what features it wouldn't have based on the performance we saw (like I said, one that "solves itself" would more than likely be over-engineered)...

But, to me it's far more easier to see it via a extraordinary ability in sleight of hand and an extreme amount of experience with a Rubik's Cube (go look at Rubik Cube videos; there are a lot of people that do very neat things with Rubik's Cube...).

now that is pretty cool.
i no longer play WOW because the pve always sucked and they killed the pvp for me,but this was neat.

They should change the name to Line-Con, the convention of long lines to get into huge panels that have nothing to do with comics! Seriously, if you want to get into any of those panels, you will be in line for entire days. I live in San Diego and gave up on it years ago, and will never go again unless they do something about those lines (like a lottery).

Still, walking around the main convention floor is cool (no lines, just shoulder-to-shoulder people in costume), and all around downtown are really neat ticketed events (like CONAN) at other locations such as Balboa Theater. I saw me some live @midnight with Chris Hardwick last year! And no line for that one! POINTS!!

I know, but why, in this sport, is it important that everyone only gets the one run? No do-over in the case of a mechanical failure right out the gate? There's no NEED to accept the bad luck... it's neat he won tho.

Looked like the Leonov doing atmospheric braking from 2010 (the movie). Neat!

Neat, but I don't think I can justify it for my single kiwi vine, even if I do get around 5 large grocery bags full of kiwi off it per year!

And just like a lot of those Gatling guns in Borderlands 2 it barely starts to spin up and it's already out of ammo, useless.
But neat otherwise.

Neat. I never knew. Now I have something new to try. I've never even had plain Turkish coffee, much less sand brewed. Thanks for the info.

Inspired by this announcement, I started looking at solar panels yesterday. Actually I learned that there are also "solar shingles" that replace regular shingles, and blend in better, but are not as efficient as PV panels.

I signed up to be notified on the Tesla site - would be neat to own.

I also learned that northeast USA has more average sunlight (~4 kWh/m^2/Day) than Germany, which leads the world in solar adoption. Obviously places in southwest are better suited (~6.5 kWh/m^2/Day)

I don't think he meant to be pejorative about it, Sage. Just... here's something I noticed, isn't that neat? The artistic choice to choke back on the scale in "I'm so Fancy" and deliver it like a taunt certainly fits... in any other context, we'd probably be saying whoever made that choice is a genius!

reminds me a bit of the "motorcycle" chase scene from Terminator Salvation.

Some neat ideas, and might be a cool movie when it's done, but I wouldn't back a kickstarter (or similar) for it because it's just 1 guy.

I upvoted just to say "welcome" to cyberpunk amidst his attempted banination.

Neat. Makes me wonder how long it would spin in the other extreme, surrounded by air but with zero friction. In my naive mind, I imagine it'd go considerably longer. And of course with zero air and zero friction it'd go on indefinitely.

Air resistance vs. friction. Who will win out?!

There's actually a neat trick to smoothing the surface if you are using ABS. But it requires boiling some Acetone.
