You will be able to choose from red, blue or clear colors, just make sure you’re eight years old and above before you give this $69 sports equipment a go. Razor, a company famous for its Ripstik has just launched another lightweight scooter that comes with a “Spark Bar” mechanism connected to the rear wheel – all you need to do to generate some mean-looking sparks would be to stomp on the bar without having to get involved in ball bustin’ stunts and tricks.

Interestingly enough, the spark cartridge is refillable. The Razor Spark Bar Scooter is made from durable aluminum and comes complete with adjustable handlebars, a patented rear brake and a folding system that makes toting it around a snap.

John Carmack’s has dedicated a significant amount of time on programming for the iPhone. Doom Resurrection for iPhone should set the bar very high for 3d graphics on Apple’s platform.

What I do know is that the next-generation Doom for iPhone is critically important, beyond its game form. We’re not sure that the iPhone (the 3G) beats the PSP in a raw computing fight, but I would not go against the Master himself without having poked the iPhone registers for a while, but we have yet to see this on an iPhone. The 3D engine will be licensed, studied and maybe even go into the public domain at some point in time.

Lightning GPS has just released its Spark Nano GPS tracker to the masses, something new for the public since the company has long provided covert GPS tracking to police departments and the military. According to Lightning GPS, this is what a survey they performed among everyday folks resulted in, “Everyday we field desperate calls from parents who are begging us for implantable GPS Trackers that they can use to track their family members. ” Guess this is where the law of supply and demand comes in, with the latter kicking Lightning GPS into action with its Spark Nano GPS tracker that is rugged and waterproof, measuring no larger than a 9-volt battery.

There is a very real demand for this technology that is just not yet available to the public.
