Robots, Cars & Megan Fox

Despite all of the cheesiness that pretty much anything done by Michael Bay, well, maybe even because of it, the next Transformers flick Revenge of the Fallen looks promising as the biggest film of the summer (or at least the biggest robots, although I hear the robots in Terminator Salvation are pretty big too). Robots, cars & Megan Fox... it doesn't really need to be coherent in any way. Did I mention Megan Fox?

I made a comment to my wife while we watched the trailer that I guess they were working on a trilogy, with Revenge of the Fallen sounding a little too much like The Empire Strikes Back, and sure enough, as per imdb, Transformers 3 is in development.

Add Star Trek and it sounds like a perfect drive-in combo.  Sweet!

RC RX-8

Not exactly RC, more like Wi-Fi internet connectivity controlled, but you get the idea.  I've been wondering for a while when we were going to start seeing mor diy computer systems in cars, especially with how easy it is to configure Ubuntu Linux on portable motherboards.  The possibilities of this are endless, wonder when we'll have one that you can actually look through webcams to see the area around the vehicle and be able to actually drive it.
