Lasers, miniaturized things, and wearable devices also tend to rate pretty high on the neat-o-meter. It goes to follow, therefore, that a small wrist-mounted laser-sighted crossbow should have a lot of admirers. Well, laser hobbyist Patrick Priebe built just such a device, and his video of it in action has already racked up over 100,000 hits in just four days. As it turns out, the "WristBow" is just the latest of his cyberpunk-esque creations. <a href="/web/20120104040619/http://www.gizmag.com/wrist-mounted-laser-crossbow/20394/">Read More</a> </p> </div> </div> <div class="summary_item "> <div class="summary_details"> <div class="sd_top"> </div> <div class="clear_both"> <h2><a href="/web/20120104040619/http://www.gizmag.com/darpa-shredder-challenge/20350/">DARPA offering US&#36;50,000 for shredded-paper puzzle solutions</a></h2> <div class="summary_details_left"> <p>By <a href="/web/20120104040619/http://www.gizmag.com/author/ben-coxworth/">Ben Coxworth</a></p> <p><em>18:37 November 1, 2011</em></p> </div> <div class="summary_details_right"> <p><img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20120104040619im_/http://images.gizmag.com/layout/icons/comments.png" alt=""/> <a href="/web/20120104040619/http://www.gizmag.com/darpa-shredder-challenge/20350/#comments">6 Comments</a> </p> <p></p> </div> </div> </div> <center><a class="noback" href="/web/20120104040619/http://www.gizmag.com/darpa-shredder-challenge/20350/"><img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20120104040619im_/http://images.gizmag.com/hero/shredder-1.jpg" title="In order to develop methods for reading shredded documents, DARPA is running a contest in ..." alt="In order to develop methods for reading shredded documents, DARPA is running a contest in ..."/></a></center> <div class="summary"> <p>Do you like puzzles?

That's the maximum prize that DARPA (Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency) is offering in its Shredder Challenge. The agency is trying to develop methods of reconstructing shredded documents that U.S. soldiers could use when gathering intelligence in war zones &#8211; it also wants to identify shredded-document-reading strategies that could be used <em>against</em> the U.S., so that it can take preemptive measures against them. What better way to do it than by crowd-sourcing? <a href="/web/20120104040619/http://www.gizmag.com/darpa-shredder-challenge/20350/">Read More</a> </p> </div> </div> <div class="summary_item "> <div class="summary_details"> <div class="sd_top"> </div> <div class="clear_both"> <h2><a href="/web/20120104040619/http://www.gizmag.com/rotundus-groundbot/20259/">Rotundus GroundBot spherical surveillance robot broadcasts live in 3D</a></h2> <div class="summary_details_left"> <p>By <a href="/web/20120104040619/http://www.gizmag.com/author/pawel-piejko/">Pawel Piejko</a></p> <p><em>15:08 October 24, 2011</em></p> </div> <div class="summary_details_right"> <p><img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20120104040619im_/http://images.gizmag.com/layout/icons/comments.png" alt=""/> <a href="/web/20120104040619/http://www.gizmag.com/rotundus-groundbot/20259/#comments">1 Comment</a> </p> <p><img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20120104040619im_/http://images.gizmag.com/layout/icons/image_modernist.png" alt=""/> <a href="/web/20120104040619/http://www.gizmag.com/rotundus-groundbot/20259/picture/145582/">7 Pictures</a></p> </div> </div> </div> <center><a class="noback" href="/web/20120104040619/http://www.gizmag.com/rotundus-groundbot/20259/"><img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20120104040619im_/http://images.gizmag.com/hero/rotundus-groundbot.jpg" title="The Rotundus GroundBot spherically-shaped surveillance robot is equipped with a pair of ca..." alt="The Rotundus GroundBot spherically-shaped surveillance robot is equipped with a pair of ca..."/></a></center> <div class="summary"> <p>Remote-controlled unmanned ground vehicles (UGVs) have proven exceptionally useful in <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20120104040619/http://www.gizmag.com/us-military-throwable-robots/20052/" target="_blank">military applications</a>, but according to Swedish company Rotundus, they can be equally well applied to civil security.

Other surveys have put the number at anywhere from around 20 to over 50 percent. While such figures certainly don't imply that ghosts are real, they do suggest that belief in them is relatively common. When someone <em>does</em> suspect that a ghost is present in their home or business, they will sometimes call in "experts" to ascertain if that is, in fact, the case ... and what sort of gear do these ghost hunters use to detect said spirits? Gizmag's (very intrepid) Ben Coxworth decided to find out. <a href="/web/20120104040619/http://www.gizmag.com/ghosthunting-gadgets/18113/">Read More</a> </p> </div> </div> <center class="snap_noshots"> <div class="next_prev"><strong> <span>1</span> <a href="/web/20120104040619/http://www.gizmag.com/spygear/2/">2</a> <a href="/web/20120104040619/http://www.gizmag.com/spygear/3/">3</a> <a href="/web/20120104040619/http://www.gizmag.com/spygear/4/">4</a> <a href="/web/20120104040619/http://www.gizmag.com/spygear/5/">5</a> <a href="/web/20120104040619/http://www.gizmag.com/spygear/2/">Next </a> &#187; </strong></div> </center> <div class="dotsontop"> <!-- Google Search Box --> <div id="search_form_bottom"> <form action="https://web.archive.org/web/20120104040619/http://www.gizmag.com/search/" id="cse-search-box-bottom"> <span class="title">Looking for something?
