The eye color thing is pretty cool. Being hazel-eyed, it doesn't affect me either, but still neat. Blue eyes are WAY cooler than brown eyes.

heh...my eyes are hazel, which means they change colors between blue, green and gray, usually depending on my mood. That's way cooler than even blue eyes. :P

Here's PETman, a robot thing that can walk like a person. Yea... I totally thought Terminator. The fact that it has a flashing red light instead of a head doesn't help.

Wow... 14 years, the same computing power in a single chip that existed in 72 cabinets. I wonder if we'll have the equivalent of a K supercomputer in a chip in another 14 years.

For those not "in the know", the K is the #1 supercomputer in the world with a processing speed of just more than 10 petaflops.

Not to be confused with the sound made when fapping.

Ok, first, Shiny, do not look at this.
A 35 foot long robotic snake. Plus a robot spider. The size doesn't really register until you notice a guy inside the spider. Freaking insane.

This is an ad for the legalizing of gay marriage in Australia. It's really well done, very serene and simple - showing that marriage is about people who love each other, not about retarded religious principles. Now you know what it's about the 'surprise' of the video is ruined of course, but if you're not retarded you would have gotten it anyway. :roll:

I'm pro gay marriage and all, but i'm not sure it qualifies as "cool stuff". Unless you're gay. Ox.

How about... future weapons:

Quote:
Even the most high-tech warplane in the world is useless without its weapons. From the earliest days of aerial combat, fighter planes succeeded or failed depending on the accuracy, lethality and reliability of their machine guns, cannons, rockets and bombs. That's why the U.S. military is hard at work on a dizzying array of pricey new guided munitions to match its trillion-dollar investment in stealth fighters, bombers and killer drones. Some are super smart. Others, super fast. A few are designed to be tiny. All of them have one purpose: to blow away the target, and only the target.
