This is the watch used by the U.S. Navy SEALs because of its unique illumination technology. Identified as a vital element for achieving success during night missions, borosilicate glass capsules with phosphor-lined interiors make up the watch’s 12 hour positions and its hour, minute, and second hands.

Tritium gas is pumped into the capsules, which reacts with the phosphor lining, causing it to fluoresce for more than 25 years without the need for a recharge from a light source. The watch’s case is made from injection-molded, carbon-reinforced polymer coupled with a stainless steel case back secured with stainless steel screws. It has a ratcheting, unidirectional polymer bezel and a double-gasket, push-in crown that is water-resistant down to 656′. The Swiss quartz movement provides impeccable timekeeping for on-the-second synchronization.

I want to make fun of this article but the damn picture they used in the article made me lose my train of thought. What the hell is going on in that picture?

Israel army uses Facebook to find female draft-dodgers. About 1000 Israeli women who tried to avoid military service by pretending to be religious have been caught out through their Facebook accounts, an army spokesman said on Tuesday.

CNET reports that Intel’s Light Peak, a high-speed connection standard capable of transferring data at 10 gigabits per second, will be arriving sooner than expected: sometime in the first half of 2011. And Apple’s poised to be an early adopter.

According to CNET’s industry source, Light Peak is “now on track to appear in products in the first half of 2011—and likely earlier in the year than later.” And if past reports are true, Apple could be among the first to incorporate it.

These are the ski goggles that record a wearer’s perfectly carved turns, long jumps, or aerodynamic tucks using a built-in video camera. The camera’s image sensor captures high-definition 720p MPEG4 video footage or 5 MP still images with a wide 135º field of view. A foam guard protects the microphone, eliminating the sound of the wind. Simple lever-style buttons at the corner of the goggles allows use while wearing skiing gloves.

The goggles are compatible with helmets and have dual-pane, anti-fog 100% UV-protected lenses. A 4 GB microSD card stores up to 90 minutes of 720 x 480 resolution videos and thousands of 2560 x 1920 resolution still images; supports up to 32 GB microSD cards.
