Spike Aerospace Supersonic Private Jets

Spike Aerospace, a Boston-based company currently developing the world’s first supersonic private jet, have just announced that in the interests of performance and safety, their S-512 jet won’t have any windows in the passenger cabin. Instead the passengers will view the world outside on massive ultra-high definition displays that run the length of the cabin. Spike Aerospace say there are several reasons for removing the windows from the cabin. Firstly, windows cause significant challenges in designing and constructing a strong, safe, aerodynamic aircraft fuselage. They require addition structural support, which in turn adds to the overall weight of the aircraft, reducing performance and efficiency. Spike say that instead of trying to work around these issues, they are just going to do away with the windows altogether, and fit micro cameras to the outside of the aircraft which relay images to the interior displays. The brightness of the displays can be turned up or down to reduce glare, or turned off completely for sleeping. Spike Aerospace S-512 Supersonic Jet Background. The Spike S-512 is a supersonic jet that will enable travelers to reach destinations in half the time it currently takes. Passengers will be able to fly from NYC to London in 3-4 hours instead of 6-7 hours. LA to Tokyo in 8 hours instead of 14-16 hours. Commercial airliners typically fly at .85 Mach (567 mph). Spike S-512 uses advanced engine and airframe technology to cruise at average speeds of Mach 1.6-1.8 (1060-1200 mph). Expected to cost in the region of $80 million, the Spike Aerospace S-512 will be able to carry 18 passengers. The company is expecting that their typical customers will be multi-national businesses and their management teams that need to manage global operations more efficiently. The jet is in the very early stages of development and it will be several years yet before even a prototype takes to the skies. (diseno-art)

Iridium Go Satellite Wi-Fi Hotspot

Iridium has introduced Iridium Go, a portable hotspot which, uniquely, uses satellites to provide connectivity anywhere in the world. Iridium Go will enable voice and data communications on mobile devices. It connects to smartphones and tablets, extending voice and data coverage when they are out of cellular-network range. Iridium Go will support up to five devices at a time, and will allow you to make calls, check email, send texts and use apps. The hotspot's Wi-Fi network has a radius of 100 feet. This functionality is especially useful if, say, you're climbing Mount Kilimanjaro. You can stick Iridium Go in your bag and travel around, worry-free. Features include an antenna, which turns on the device and connects to Iridium's satellite network to establish a Wi-Fi connection, and an Iridium Go app for devices. The app lets you use data and provides a location point for emergency services in case of an accident. It also has a platform for developers, thanks to Iridium Go's developer program with open access to APIs. App makers can utilise Iridium's satellite network, broadening the capabilities of their new products even further. Iridium.com has an Iridium Apps section, for instance, with apps from companies already making use of Iridium's satellite network within their maritime, aviation, outdoor recreation and enterprise solutions. Iridium Go will launch in the first half of this year through select partners. Pricing has yet to be revealed. The Iridium Go developer program will be commercially available in the second quarter of 2014. (pocket-lint)

New UK Trailer For The Japanese Remake Of "Unforgiven"

The UK branch of Warner Brothers has released an official trailer for director Lee Sang-il's remake of Clint Eastwood's classic western Unforgiven (1992). Yurusarezaru mono stars Ken Watanabe (The Last Samurai), Jun Kunimura (Ichi the Killer), and Kôichi Satô (Gonin). The film will open in cinemas across the country on February 28th. Official synopsis: Lee Sang-il writes and directs this Japanese remake starring Ken Watanabe. Set in 19th-century Hokkaido during the Meiji era, the film follows swordsman Jubei Kamata (Watanabe) who killed many rebels while working for the now collapsed Tokugawa shogunate, gaining a reputation as a fearless assassin. With the new government looking for him, Jubei disappears. For ten years he lives a quiet life in isolation along with his wife and children but as they struggle to survive Jubei agrees to take up work as a bounty hunter, despite having promised never to engage in violence again. Along with an old friend, Kingo Baba (Akira Emoto), Jubei tracks down samurai Sanosuke (Yukiyoshi Ozawa), who has disfigured a prostitute, hoping that he will be able to provide a better life for his family with the reward money. Will his mission be a success? 

New Trailer For "Jodorowsky's Dune"

Sony Pictures Classics has just released, via Yahoo!, the trailer for their upcoming feature-length documentary Jodorowsky's Dune, hitting theaters in a limited release March 21. Check it out in the player below! Directed by Frank Pavich, Jodorowsky's Dune explores legendary cult film director Alejandro Jodorowsky (El Topo, Holy Mountain, Santa Sangre) and his staggeringly ambitious, yet ultimately doomed, mid-1970’s film adaptation of Frank Herbert's seminal science fiction novel "Dune." The tale of Jodorowsky and his Dune is a fascinating trip through creativity and imagination, a story about the relentless pursuit of a dream, and the necessity of art. In pre-production for over two years, the film was to star Jodorowsky's own 12-year-old son Brontis alongside Orson Welles, Mick Jagger, David Carradine and even Salvador Dali, set to a musical score by Pink Floyd and art-design by some of the most provocative talents of the era, including H.R. Giger and Jean ‘Moebius’ Giraud. (comingsoon)
