Geek Alert – A galaxy far, far, away comes to Brazil

The Star Wars Exhibit Museum opened on March 5 on the “Porão das Artes” at the Ibirapuera Park in São Paulo, where it will be until June 29.

Children can take a course at the “Jedi Academy” (and face Darth Vader himself at the end) and adults can take a guided/scheduled tour.

Loaded with official costumes, props and models that were used in all six Star Wars films, this traveling exhibit is second only to the archives of the Jedi Temple.

LucasFilm sent a squadron of Stormtroopers out to visit various tech offices in Brazil as a promotion for the exhibit. (I could think of a couple ex-bosses of mine who could use a visit from these guys.)

Do you want a flying car?

Need to get to another city really fast? Just drive your car to the nearest airport, take off, land in your destination city, and drive to where you want to go. That’s the scenario envisioned by Milner Motors as it unveils a prototype of its AirCar, coupled with its ElectriCar, at the 2008 New York auto show.

The AirCar prototype won’t fly you anywhere now, but you can drive it, and it could be your transportation of the future.

Ultra Cool Tech Car

Shoe tycoon Nike, dipping into the auto industry may seem disastrous, but the Nike ONE is an undeniably sexy single-seater. The ONE design team was led by legendary car designer Phil Frank, who designed classics such as the Saleen S7 and the new Ford Mustangs.

Made to coincide with the release of racing game Gran Turismo 4, the Nike ONE looks a bit like what might happen if the monstrosity from Alien and one of the bikes from Tron had a baby.

Take 2, Levine, Max Payne 3 and BioShock 2

In its call with investors following its Q1 results, Take-Two execs confirmed that BioShock producer was still involved in the 2K Marin sequel, that 2009 would bring another sequel to a triple-A Rockstar game, and hinted at the possibility of a new Max Payne title as film production ramps up.

Asked why the BioShock IP had moved to 2K Marin, and whether Levine was still attached to the project, company CEO Ben Feder said that Levine was a “terrific asset to the company,” and that he was working on both BioShock 2 and a different IP.

2K Boston and Australia were both working on a new title, he said, but that was “not to say Ken is not involved” in the continuation of the BioShock franchise.

Toyota iQ – Tiny Techno-Car Rolls Out This Year

Toyota is proudly showing off its iQ, a concept pocket car, at the Geneva Motor Show. After some design mainstreaming, the iQ is expected to enter production by late 2008.

It will go up against Mercedes’ micro car, the Smart Fortwo. Not a whole lot more is known about the iQ except that it looks monstrously cool, will have a low-emission engine (Toyota calls the car’s design techno-organic) and will boast a flat, under-the-seats gas tank.

Putting the gas tank under the seats has to be one of the unconventional changes that Toyota will make in order to fit three adults and a baby in the 9.75-foot-long city car.

The car’s original design will be toned down, but not the tech, which if anything is expected to grow significantly.

The company’s not saying anything about pricing – as yet.

Microsoft: Please Buy Vista, PLEASE !!!

Acts of desperation: Microsoft is planning on cutting the price of Windows Vista in the hopes that it will spur sales.

They are planning to drop the US price for Windows Vista Ultimate to $319 from $399 for the full version and cut the price for an “upgrade” version to $219 from $259 for consumers who already run Windows XP or another edition of Vista.

This announcement arose after sales data that showed a 30 percent drop in money spent for software at U.S. retailers in January.

This drop is planned for 70 countries.

But the bottom line is this: if you cut the price of crap, you still have … crap!
