Worldwide largest multi-cylinder Kawasaki motorcycle in action


Well known bike maker Simon Whitlock has created a fabulous replica, his newly revamped Kawasaki bike. This Kawasaki motorcycle comes with a powerful 48-cylinder engine and is constructed from sets of engines from Kawasaki S1/KH250. This bad boy also features a displacement of 4200 cubic centimeters while instead of one engine, there are six inline engines.

Each engine has its independent crankshaft while being fixed with gears and run via a BMW transmission. This monstrous engine applies 6 Jaguar E-Type distributors while its 75 cc pony motor is placed under the seat of the bike. Simon Whitlock appears to have proved the world that the manlike monster Frankenstein is alive.

Plustek OpticBook A300 - A3 scans with care


Plustek has announced today a new model of scanner for their already accomplished range of scanners. The new OpticBook A300 is aimed to help designers, librarians, students, etc. to scan different kinds of books, even quite thick exemplars. Nipping on ahead, I should that because of the estimated price you probably wouldn't happen to see the A300 in student's dormitory. Anyway, so far it seems a really well made piece of office inventory with a lot of features, so Plustek will probably be offering a bargain when OpticBook A300 goes on sale.

Speaking of features, the idea behind A300 was to make book scanning trouble free for both scanner and a book. In the final analysis, you can easily stuff A300 with A3 size as well as an old tumbled down book in thick cover. Judging by the picture you don’t have to keep the book wide opened, neither you won't have to push the hood down hard and still and up with odd shadows as Plustek confirms. More features – fast scanning (2.4 sec. for an A3 page at 300dpi), USB 2.0 interface, automatic conversion to .pdf, .bmp and other popular formats. I also liked built in optical character recognition (OCR) software. We know that Plustek OpticBook A300 should come out really soon, but there is nothing said about price or anything else.

Xbox 360 Arcade gets the double memory from now on, 512MB overall


Absolutely unexpectedly Microsoft decided to put some more memory in the Xbox 360 Arcade. Even more interesting is that guys from MS didn't seem to hurry up with the announcement but instead just started shipments with bigger flash memory modules. The fact that Xbox 360 Arcade has become double memory richer was discovered accidently when an Xbox hardware veteran has disintegrated a fresh device made for Japanese market.

After the discovery started to fill the Web, official statement came immediately. Following it, the change is aimed for better user experience. Mind you, that Xbox 360 Arcade comes without internal hard drive and onboard flash memory is used by system. Obviously now we can't stop thinking that a firmware upgrade is coming or something in this vein. Or more memory is needed for extra functionality we were told about at E3 – integration with Facebook, Twitter and other social networks. Anyway, the price is still the same – 199 USD.
