The Crossfade M-100s were developed in collaboration with over 200 audiophiles, editors, artists, DJs and Grammy-winning musicians ... and it shows.

SSC showed it nearly two years ago and we haven't heard much about it since. As if in answer to that question, SSC dropped a little "hello" by way of a press release saying that it's moving into the final phases of Tuatara development. It hooked the seething twin-turbo V8 engine to the dyno and is all too happy to share the results. <a href="/web/20130430012139/http://www.gizmag.com/ssc-teases-1700-hp/27276/" class="readmore_link">Read More</a> </p> </div> </div> <div class="summary_item " data-article="27313"> <div class="summary_details"> <div class="sd_top"> <a class="vsmall" href="/web/20130430012139/http://www.gizmag.com/bicycles/" style="float: left; margin-right: 9px;">BICYCLES</a> </div> <div class="clear_both"> <h2><a href="/web/20130430012139/http://www.gizmag.com/4strikebike-arm-leg-powered-bicycle/27313/">4StrikeBike lets cyclists' arms in on the action</a></h2> <div class="summary_details_left"> <div>By <a href="/web/20130430012139/http://www.gizmag.com/author/ben-coxworth/">Ben Coxworth</a></div> <div class="date">April 29, 2013</div> </div> <div class="summary_details_right"> <div class="has_comments"><a href="/web/20130430012139/http://www.gizmag.com/4strikebike-arm-leg-powered-bicycle/27313/#comments">1 Comment</a></div> <div class="has_pictures"><a href="/web/20130430012139/http://www.gizmag.com/4strikebike-arm-leg-powered-bicycle/27313/pictures">6 Pictures</a></div> </div> </div> </div> <a class="noback hero_link" href="/web/20130430012139/http://www.gizmag.com/4strikebike-arm-leg-powered-bicycle/27313/"><img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20130430012139im_/http://images.gizmag.com/hero/4strikebike.png" title="The 4StrikeBike concept would see riders pedaling with both their legs and arms, for a mor..." alt="The 4StrikeBike concept would see riders pedaling with both their legs and arms, for a mor..."/></a> <div class="summary"> <p> Although cycling is a great form of cardiovascular and lower-body exercise, it doesn’t do a whole lot for the upper body. Over the years, various arm-and-leg-powered bikes <em>have</em> been developed, such as the <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20130430012139/http://www.gizmag.com/all-limb-bicycling-raxibo/23160/" target="_blank">Raxibo</a>. Now, however, Dutch design studio TSG Essempio is hoping to get its own such vehicle into production, in the form of the 4StrikeBike. <a href="/web/20130430012139/http://www.gizmag.com/4strikebike-arm-leg-powered-bicycle/27313/" class="readmore_link">Read More</a> </p> </div> </div> <div class="summary_item " data-article="27311"> <div class="summary_details"> <div class="sd_top"> <a class="vsmall" href="/web/20130430012139/http://www.gizmag.com/mobiletechnology/" style="float: left; margin-right: 9px;">MOBILE TECHNOLOGY</a> </div> <div class="clear_both"> <h2><a href="/web/20130430012139/http://www.gizmag.com/google-now-ios/27311/">Google launches Google Now for iPhone and iPad</a></h2> <div class="summary_details_left"> <div>By <a href="/web/20130430012139/http://www.gizmag.com/author/will-shanklin/">Will Shanklin</a></div> <div class="date">April 29, 2013</div> </div> <div class="summary_details_right"> </div> </div> </div> <a class="noback hero_link" href="/web/20130430012139/http://www.gizmag.com/google-now-ios/27311/"><img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20130430012139im_/http://images.gizmag.com/hero/google-now-ios.jpg" title="Google has launched a less capable version of Google Now for iOS " alt="Google has launched a less capable version of Google Now for iOS "/></a> <div class="summary"> <p> When Google <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20130430012139/http://www.gizmag.com/jellybean/23122/" target="_blank">first announced Google Now</a>, lots of people called it a “Siri rival.” The two services do have some overlap, but Google Now is much more than a sassy personal assistant.

Now imagine doing that upside down inside an airplane wing while juggling wires, crimps and a schematic printout. For some field engineers, that sort of thing is an everyday occurrence, so IBM in collaboration with the University of Sheffield Advanced Manufacturing Research Centre (AMRC) in the UK is developing a mobile maintenance, repair and operations (MRO) prototype robot. It's a combination of a smartphone app and a camera/projector mounted on a robot arm, that allows supervisors and experts to have a more active presence on the job. <a href="/web/20130430012139/http://www.gizmag.com/ibm-remote-presence-mro/27248/" class="readmore_link">Read More</a> </p> </div> </div> <div class="summary_item " data-article="27307"> <div class="summary_details"> <div class="sd_top"> <a class="vsmall" href="/web/20130430012139/http://www.gizmag.com/laptops/" style="float: left; margin-right: 9px;">LAPTOPS</a> </div> <div class="clear_both"> <h2><a href="/web/20130430012139/http://www.gizmag.com/laptouch-concept-laptop/27307/">LapTouch: a conceptual laptop for creative minds</a></h2> <div class="summary_details_left"> <div>By <a href="/web/20130430012139/http://www.gizmag.com/author/donna-taylor/">Donna Taylor</a></div> <div class="date">April 29, 2013</div> </div> <div class="summary_details_right"> <div class="has_comments"><a href="/web/20130430012139/http://www.gizmag.com/laptouch-concept-laptop/27307/#comments">1 Comment</a></div> <div class="has_pictures"><a href="/web/20130430012139/http://www.gizmag.com/laptouch-concept-laptop/27307/pictures">8 Pictures</a></div> </div> </div> </div> <a class="noback hero_link" href="/web/20130430012139/http://www.gizmag.com/laptouch-concept-laptop/27307/"><img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20130430012139im_/http://images.gizmag.com/hero/laptouch.jpg" title="The LapTouch concept is targeted at the creative community (Image: Amir Labidi) " alt="The LapTouch concept is targeted at the creative community (Image: Amir Labidi) "/></a> <div class="summary"> <p> Einstein famously maintained that a cluttered desk is a sign of a brilliant mind. However, for many modern designers the desk is not just messy but is also jammed with a mandatory array of PCs, laptops, screens, tablets, and more.
