If you're out tackling trails and rock crawls in the middle of the desert, you're going to need supplies - big supplies, like gas cans, water jugs, tools, etc ... and a pickup bed is the perfect place to store those supplies. The Brute Double Cab bolts a pickup bed onto a modified four-door Jeep Wrangler Unlimited, becoming the Jeep pickup for the 21st century. <a href="/web/20120606171836/http://www.gizmag.com/brute-double-cab-jeep-wrangler-pickup/22676/">Read More</a> </p> </div> </div> <div class="summary_item "> <div class="summary_details "> <div class="sd_top"> <a class="small" href="/web/20120606171836/http://www.gizmag.com/mobiletechnology/" style="float: left; ">MOBILE TECHNOLOGY</a> </div> <div class="clear_both"> <h2><a href="/web/20120606171836/http://www.gizmag.com/icache-geode-iphone-released/22802/">iCache Geode digital wallet for iPhone released</a></h2> <div class="summary_details_left"> <p>By <a href="/web/20120606171836/http://www.gizmag.com/author/adam-williams/">Adam Williams</a></p> <p><em>14:45 June 4, 2012</em></p> </div> <div class="summary_details_right"> <p><img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20120606171836im_/http://images.gizmag.com/layout/icons/comments.png" alt=""/> <a href="/web/20120606171836/http://www.gizmag.com/icache-geode-iphone-released/22802/#comments">4 Comments</a> </p> <p><img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20120606171836im_/http://images.gizmag.com/layout/icons/image_modernist.png" alt=""/> <a href="/web/20120606171836/http://www.gizmag.com/icache-geode-iphone-released/22802/pictures">3 Pictures</a></p> </div> </div> </div> <center><a class="noback" href="/web/20120606171836/http://www.gizmag.com/icache-geode-iphone-released/22802/"><img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20120606171836im_/http://images.gizmag.com/hero/icache.png" title="The Geode comes with a removable card for debit and credit card purchases, in addition to ..." alt="The Geode comes with a removable card for debit and credit card purchases, in addition to ..."/></a></center> <div class="summary"> <p> iCache Inc has announced the release of the Geode, a secure digital wallet for the iPhone 4 and 4S, which the company states to be the first of its kind, worldwide.

Central to the R6 concept is the claim that its unique, hollow, almost pulled-apart layout lends its compact apartments "generous views, daylight, and cross-ventilation," compensating for their modest size. Courtyards and roof terraces are intended to achieve a similar sense of community in R6 that Studio Liebeskind sought with its #-skyscraper design. <a href="/web/20120606171836/http://www.gizmag.com/rex-yongsan-tower/22779/">Read More</a> </p> </div> </div> <div class="summary_item "> <div class="summary_details "> <div class="sd_top"> <a class="small" href="/web/20120606171836/http://www.gizmag.com/games/" style="float: left; ">GAMES</a> </div> <div class="clear_both"> <h2><a href="/web/20120606171836/http://www.gizmag.com/microsoft-e3-smartglass/22805/">Microsoft unveils new SmartGlass Xbox control technology at E3</a></h2> <div class="summary_details_left"> <p>By <a href="/web/20120606171836/http://www.gizmag.com/author/james-holloway/">James Holloway</a></p> <p><em>12:19 June 4, 2012</em></p> </div> <div class="summary_details_right"> <p><img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20120606171836im_/http://images.gizmag.com/layout/icons/comments.png" alt=""/> <a href="/web/20120606171836/http://www.gizmag.com/microsoft-e3-smartglass/22805/#comments">1 Comment</a> </p> <p><img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20120606171836im_/http://images.gizmag.com/layout/icons/image_modernist.png" alt=""/> <a href="/web/20120606171836/http://www.gizmag.com/microsoft-e3-smartglass/22805/pictures">7 Pictures</a></p> </div> </div> </div> <center><a class="noback" href="/web/20120606171836/http://www.gizmag.com/microsoft-e3-smartglass/22805/"><img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20120606171836im_/http://images.gizmag.com/hero/xbox-e3-smartglass.jpg" title="Microsoft used its E3 press conference to unveil its new SmartGlass technology that will u..." alt="Microsoft used its E3 press conference to unveil its new SmartGlass technology that will u..."/></a></center> <div class="summary"> <p> Microsoft used its E3 press conference to unveil its new SmartGlass technology that will use handheld devices such as smartphones and tablets as both an Xbox control device and as a second screen for the display of dynamic, rich information.

Sony's forthcoming SOEmote technology however, promises gamers the ability to express themselves through their online characters in a way that's more like real life. Using any webcam to track facial expressions, head movements, and voices, anything from an elf to an anthropomorphic frog will be able to mimic a player's own actions in real-time. <a href="/web/20120606171836/http://www.gizmag.com/sony-soemote-replicates-facial-expressions/22797/">Read More</a> </p> </div> </div> <div class="summary_item "> <div class="summary_details "> <div class="sd_top"> <a class="small" href="/web/20120606171836/http://www.gizmag.com/ecogizmo/" style="float: left; ">ECOGIZMO</a> </div> <div class="clear_both"> <h2><a href="/web/20120606171836/http://www.gizmag.com/osu-blue-pigment-solar-efficiency/22796/">"Cool blue" pigment could boost energy efficient building</a></h2> <div class="summary_details_left"> <p>By <a href="/web/20120606171836/http://www.gizmag.com/author/noel-mckeegan/">Noel McKeegan</a></p> <p><em>01:01 June 4, 2012</em></p> </div> <div class="summary_details_right"> <p><img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20120606171836im_/http://images.gizmag.com/layout/icons/comments.png" alt=""/> <a href="/web/20120606171836/http://www.gizmag.com/osu-blue-pigment-solar-efficiency/22796/#comments">3 Comments</a> </p> <p></p> </div> </div> </div> <center><a class="noback" href="/web/20120606171836/http://www.gizmag.com/osu-blue-pigment-solar-efficiency/22796/"><img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20120606171836im_/http://images.gizmag.com/hero/cool-blue-pigment.jpg" title="This 'trigonal bipyramidal' crystalline structure that forms the basis of OSU's 'cool blue..." alt="This 'trigonal bipyramidal' crystalline structure that forms the basis of OSU's 'cool blue..."/></a></center> <div class="summary"> <p> Researchers at Oregon State University have discovered a new type of blue pigment that could help boost the energy efficiency of buildings.
