Top speed of 18mph, and a range of 15 miles? Charges in only two hours? No, this isn’t the future of transportation we’re talking about here, it’s a toy. A toy from Audi, of all places. The company has created this electric-powered and half-scale recreation of an Auto Union Type C, grand prix racer of the late 1930s, and done it in e-tron guise, applying the moniker from its grown-up line of EVs, like the luscious e-tron Spyder. This one’s intended for kids of all ages — so long as they’re shorter than 5’11” — and it will be on display at the International Toy Fair in Nuremberg. At this point there’s no mention of a plan to produce it nor a price if Audi did, but surely it’s one of those “if you have to ask” things — that body is entirely made of carbon fiber, and that stuff doesn’t come cheap.

A battle with cancer left film megacritic Roger Ebert without much of the lower half of his face. But he will appear on his new TV show looking quite like his old self. How? A meticulously sculpted prosthetic chin. More »

Smoking is bad for you! But let’s be honest, smoke itself looks sorta cool. Here’s a video of smoke looking like liquid, which makes it even cooler looking. You can even swirl the smoke around and pour it out like water. More »

The unthinkable has happened. After spending 99 percent of their recent marketing budgets figuring out ways to sling mud at each other, AT&T and Verizon have now come together to dance a merry waltz — all in the name of Apple’s hallowed iPhone. The latest commercial for the phone that really doesn’t need advertising shows that you can FaceTime, read iBooks, navigate maps, and do everything else on the Verizon iPhone just as well as you could do it on the AT&T-friendly GSM variant of the device. As if you didn’t already know. Still, it’s fun to see these guys trying to turn their lack of competitive diversity into some sort of an advantage. Video after the break.

Update: Now in HD!

Hopefully you read our review of the AppSumo Supercharge OS X bundle over the weekend. Sam has now been playing with the bundle for a few days — in fact, the only sound emanating from his padded room in the Download Squad bunker is the gentle, rhythmic chanting of sumo, sumo, sumo — and at the bargain price of $14, he really can’t see a reason to not buy the bundle.

Unless, of course, you win our giveaway! We have 10 copies of the excellent AppSumo Supercharge OS X bundle to give away. You can enter the giveaway by simply leaving a comment. Full terms and conditions follow after the break.

Bear in mind, if you really want the bundle, you only have 36 hours left to buy it. You can still enter the giveaway — and if you win, you can give your license keys to friends and family!

We’ve always taken Art Lebedev‘s product launch forecasts with a grain handful of salt, so this doesn’t come as a surprise: the firm’s sub-$1,000 OLED keyboard won’t be out anytime soon. However, the second thing the indie peripheral design house revealed today makes us giddy despite our misgivings — before the full-sized Optimus Popularis comes to market, it’s planning to release a new miniature keypad like the Optimus mini three (pictured above) but with six keys inside. Still… is it bad if all we really want is an Optimus Aux prototype?

Art Lebedev’s Optimus Popularis delayed, but new Optimus Mini Six is on the way originally appeared on Engadget on Sat, 22 Jan 2011 20:51:00 EDT. Please see our terms for use of feeds.
