Nothing gets my blood pumping like a sexy lady wearing a skimpy outfit that glows in the dark. Well, I guess the glowing in the dark thing isn’t necessary, but if it’s part of the package, go nuts, I guess.

LuminoGlow is an Australian company that makes unmentionables that look normal with the lights on, but glow in the dark when they’re turned off. Pretty neat, but don’t glow in the dark items need to be left in the light for a while before they glow? Are you supposed to wear these around the house all day first just to charge them up before gametime at night? And will they glow through your clothes if you wear a thin shirt or dress?

Also, where’s my glow in the dark underwear? Why do only the ladies get this fun? So many questions, so few answers.

I’ve been considering buying one of those aerovertebraedynamic Herman-Miller chairs. But then I saw this: The Vespa Chair. Awesome retro design recycled with leather to fit my sweet bubblebuttocks or scientifically-researched ergonomics that can avoid fatal back problems and RSIs?

I always wanted to have a Vespa. *Buys* [Born Rich]

As a New Yorker, this gets me very excited: the Bedford Ave L station just got an LCD screen that shows exactly where all the cars on the line are, so you know how long you’ll have to wait.

It’s part of a test program on the L line, where they installed boards telling people when the next train would arrive last year. This is just the next step. If it goes well, presumably, they’ll expand it to other lines as well. Like the Q! Bring it to the Q, MTA! Please! [Gothamist; pic via Kate Heffernan]

This is Lockheed Martin‘s Sabre Warrior, a next-generation plane that looks like something Batman and Darth Vader would fight over for. Instead, some good-turned-evil computer will get a fleet, as part of a plan to destroy us all. It’s impressive.

The Sabre Warrior drone is 46 feet long, with a 36-foot wingspan, capable of taking off with 30,000 pounds of load using a 22,000-pound trust afterburning turbofan engine. It has two modular payload sections, which can be changed by soldiers in the field. Each bay can handle one 2,000 pound or two AIM-120 AMRAAM missiles or 10 smart bombs or sensors, or even fuel for extended range missions—even while this thing is air refuelable.

Its twin nose can also hold multiple sensors, which are interchangeable. And it is designed so there could be a version with a cockpit, so they can send man version as an on-the-scene controller, overlooking over the unmanned versions.

Ah Lockheed Martin’s SkunkWorks, always working on making all our nightmares real, you nutty engineers who don’t watch apocalyptical movies you. OK people, we may as well burn the office and run to the hills now. [Defense Tech]

To celebrate the Web’s 40th anniversary, DARPA wants to explore social networking’s role in time-critical communication. It’s offering $40,000 in hard cash to the first entrant who finds ten 8-foot weather balloons located at fixed locations around the U.S.

Registration begins on December 1, and the balloons will appear on December 5. The first to submit the latitude and longitude of all ten balloons walks away with the cash. Pretty cool. Full rules at: [DARPA via BoingBoing]

Android 2.0 only came out last week, but the open-source community has already ported it the T-Mobile G1 / HTC Dream, the first Android phone. Check it out:

Props go to coder, Akira Harada, for the port, but it’s just a sluggish preview at this point. If you’re super keen, you can download the code for your G1 here, but you’re probably better off just watching the video below and waiting for Cyanogen to cook up a fully functional Android 2.0 Éclair ROM.

The a750 isn’t official yet, but Sony itself has apparently leaked specs early via a registration page. The Alpha a750 would fill the big price gap between the a550 and a850 with a 14.6-megapixel full-frame sensor, and high-speed image processing.

Not much else is known at this point, but it wouldn’t be a stretch to think we’ll see the a750 at CES 2010. [LetsGoDigital via Engadget]

That on-again, off-again Asus Eee PC with Android OS, and 1GHz Snapdragon processor is, well, back on again. Asus now calls it their “secret weapon” and says it should arrive early next year for about $180 bucks.

Maybe all the interest in Android 2.0 got them interested again.

As a reminder, Smartbooks are just Qualcomm’s name for netbooks that use ARM-based processors, which are needed to run Android. (Acer actually ported Android to Atom processors for its Aspire One netbook). Nvidia is also pushing its ARM-based Tegra chip for Smartbooks. [Shanzai (translated)]

LG has outlined its OLED roadmap, and there’s good stuff coming up. Its 15-inch panel takes on Sony in November, followed by 20- and 30-inchers in 2010 and 2011. LG also believes OLED will cost less than LCD by 2016.

Those 40-inch panels will still be “fairly expensive”, but LG says new manufacturing processes will drive down costs by 2016.

LG Display aims to achieve a 50% higher material cost and a 30% lower yield than those of LCD panels in 2012 and a 20-30% lower material cost and an equivalent yield in 2016.

That’s a pretty big call, but I like where their head’s at. [Nikkei via OLED-Display.net]

The DSi LL (or XL, as it will be known in the US early next year) made its first TV appearance in Japan overnight, and yep, that 4.2-inch screen is lookin’ pretty big.

It arrives in Japan for ¥20,000 (US$220) on November 21. Hit up Kotaku for all the details. [Kotaku]
