Autonomous, laser-guided turret takes aim

Those projects are all rip-offs of the original by Inventgeek. i really hate it when people take ideas as there own. they may have a differing method of doing it and i give kudos for that. but its not your idea, just your improvement on an existing well publicized idea.

Ultraviolet bread box preserves bread, freaks out friends

He used a water clarifying unit he got on eBay. These use the genuine UV bulb as you mention but as they are submerged they are coated in a thin black layer of PVC so the bulb won’t burst in cold water. I use these systems in a pond I have and know first hand the risks that come with them ultimately UVC is an issue and a kill switch in this project would really make it something viable.

Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.

"I commonly need to boot a system from an external disc and take a snapshot of the host system. I also then need to burn a copy of the image to a DVD. While I can do it with two separate external devices, and two power supplies, and two I/O cables, it'd be nice to find a small dual-drive enclosure. It would need to have USB, eSATA, and FireWire. Either slim-line or half-height bay for the optical burner would be fine, and space for either a 2.5- or 3.5-inch hard disc. Any ideas?"
