The Tomahawk is a Viper V-10 based motorcycle, a 500 horsepower engine with four wheels beneath it.

Chrysler will be selling the original Tomahawk concept and nine replicas through Neiman Marcus, for up to $555,000 each. The motorcycles cannot be licensed, so they cannot be legally driven on public roads. A Chrysler spokesman told Reuters they were meant as rolling sculptures.

Rumors had the Tomahawk selling for under $200,000, most likely at a loss or breakeven price, for publicity purposes – but still fully drivable. Wolfgang Bernhard, Chrysler’s not particularly respected first mate, was said to be enthusiastic about that project, so much so that hundreds were projected to be built at under $200,000 each. They reportedly cost Chrysler over $100,000 to build (admittedly the work is outsourced).
The Dodge Tomahawk can reach 60 miles an hour in about 2.5 seconds, and has a theoretical top speed of nearly 400 mph. Each pair of wheels is separated by a few inches and each wheel has an independent suspension. Bernhard said four wheels were necessary to handle the power from the engine.
The Tomahawk remains on display at auto shows – though well out of reach of the general public, elevated on a special display.

iphone.jpgThe Onion, truly America’s finest news source seems to have scooped every one with their list of the iPhone’s most highly anticipated features. If you can’t muster the mouse click to head over to their site to read the Infographic I’ve conveniently included the feature list below.

  • Nanotechnology enables it to reassemble itself when thrown against wall
  • Exclusive link to Google Street View so you can watch yourself using your iPhone at all times
  • Takes Polaroids
  • When moved from hand to ear, makes Lightsaber sound effects
  • Prominent Apple logo
  • Reproduces through asexual budding
  • Has way, way more PRAM than the last thingy
  • Comes with an iPhone hat, so people know you own an iPhone during the brief periods you’re not using it

iPhone looks great. But later when some of it’s drawbacks were revealed, atleast i wasn’t much keen on buying it therafter. Now the backup time has been increased. Looks like Apple is clearly following people’s comments and working over their product for that invaluable customer satisfaction. :) Let’s see what the final product looks like.

Here Comes The Future!

I’d always thought that flying cars and flying men on jetpack were not going to be realities for probably another decade. But hey….It looks like that I’m dead wrong: The personal jet pack that you can buy is set to be released December 11 of this year.

It may or may not surprise you to hear that jet packs (of a sort) are old news. Bell Aerosystems had a personal rocket belt back in the 1960s, and a few different companies are currently offering the same hydrogen peroxide powered sort of thing, including Tecaeromex, from whom you can buy a working version for $250,000. The downside of rocket belts is that they only get a maximum of 30 seconds flight time, and the fuel is expensive and dangerous. Bell Aerospace started working on an actual jet pack in the late 60s, which had a hypothetical flying time of 25 minutes and a top speed of about 80 mph, but dropped the project due to it’s complexity.

Luckily for us, Jetpack International (who has lots of experience with conventional hydrogen peroxide powered rocket packs) is working on a turbine powered jet pack with an estimated flight time of 19 minutes, with a range of 27 miles at a max altitude of 250 ft. Best news is that it runs on easily available and cheap jet fuel. The $200,000 price tag includes a training course, although it’s unclear what certification (if any) is required to operate a jet pack.

Cricket World Is Too Long, Needs To Be Reformed: Ponting

Australia captain Ricky Ponting said the seven-week Cricket World Cup is too long and challenged organizers to come up with a better format in 2011.

“It is a long event,” Ponting told reporters in Barbados. “In the future I think it can be condensed a little bit. We’ll learn lessons from this time around and hopefully make it a better World Cup next time.”

Ponting is the latest critic of a competition where grounds in the Caribbean have frequently been less than half full amid claims from former players such as ex-West Indies captain Viv Richards that the ticketing structure priced out local fans.

Tournament Chief Executive Chris Dehring said the length of the tournament was dictated by the decision to allow a reserve day for every match in case it was washed out, after weather disruptions at the 2003 tournament in South Africa. In the event, only the March 27 match between Australia and the Windies was pushed into a second day by adverse weather.

The 2011 World Cup will be held across India, Bangladesh, Pakistan and Sri Lanka.
