First and foremost, Brix is a phone. The entire surface is a touchscreen, even void of a receiver. There is no bezel at all so you really get 100% screen real estate on the front. You have all your personal multimedia functions just like any other phone but here’s where it gets interesting. By stringing together multiple Brix, you expand the screen real estate. Suddenly video is bigger. A temporary virtual shared folder is created to merge content between the devices until they’re disconnected or one device can be designated as the media hub and interface. The awesome thing is the ability to endlessly string together as many Brix as you want. You can easily go from a small media player to a big screen TV. Throw in an external audio jack, DVR functions, GPS and we have a wonder device - like for real.

Two Brix Are Better Than One
Energy Bracelet
Have you ever realized your skin can generate electricity? The Dyson energy bracelet gives you a definite answer. Inspired from “Seeback effect”, the energy bracelet can generate electricity and charge your mobile phones when you desperately need it.
Designer: Mathieu Servais, Camille Lefer, Clément Faydi & Mickaël Denié
Ps: Seeback effect, which is a separate type of thermoelectric effect, refers to the direct conversion of temperature differences to electric voltage and vice versa. If the two kinds of metal in one loop show different temperatures on their contact points, then the thermo current is generated.

Top Ten Cars Worth Waiting For
Here are a few of the "gotta-have" cars arriving on the scene over the next 24 months. Make room in the garage.
00.1 Acura NSX
Now expected to appear as an early 2010 model displaying only a hint of the style seen in Acura's 2007 Advanced Sports Car Concept (shown), the next NSX will have a 5.0-5.5L/500-550-hp V-10 up front, a six-speed dual-clutch manual gearbox, and all of it feeding power to the ground through a new version of Acura's SH-AWD. Also projected: a six-figure sticker.
00.2 Aston Martin Rapide
The new owners of this storied brand-besides having just won the GT1 class at Le Mans-have announced they're pressing ahead with the Rapide, a hyperelegant sedan version of the DB9. The V-12 powertrain will remain, juiced to around 470 horses. It's beautiful and rare, but will it be worth nearly double the cost of Porsche's upcoming Panamera?
00.3 Chevrolet Camaro
We've been watching for this one a long time now, but it should be worth the wait. The Global RWD architecture that underpins Chevy's reborn muscle machine is solid stuff, as will be a variety of V-8 and V-6 powertrains. The coupe arrives in early 2009, the convertible as a 2010 model, and a high-horse SS is expected, too.
00.4 Chevrolet Corvette "Blue Devil"
A hundred grand for a Vette? With 625-650 horsepower, alloy chassis, and lightweight bodywork, it may well be worth it. GM has kept a good lid on the "Blue Devil" Corvette (which may be called the SS when it finally arrives), but info is beginning to leak out. Don't expect it before late 2008 or early 2009.
00.5 Hyundai Genesis
On sale in fall 2008, the production version of Hyundai's Concept Genesis (seen here) promises to shake up the entry-lux sedan ranks big time. Based on a new RWD premium platform architecture, it'll offer a 3.8L/270-hp V-6 and 4.6-liter/300-325-hp V-8, ZF six-speed automatic, and a full array of luxury and safety kit-but start "well-below $30,000."
00.6 Jaguar XF
This edgy new sedan can't arrive soon enough, as the S-Type goes back to the dawn of the New Millennium. The C-XF concept version is shown here, and the production variant will be revealed soon. We're hearing it may be all V-8-powered, with base, supercharged, and high-performance supercharged powerplants. The XF comes to market in fall 2008.
00.7 Lexus LF-A
Envisioned as a true Ferrari fighter, the sleek LF-A (prototype pictured here) is expected to bow for MY2010. This front-mid-engine/rear-drive ultracoupe is likely to carry a high-tech V-10 with 500-600 horsepower, have a six-speed rear-mounted transaxle, be able to top 200 mph-and ultimately offer a V-8-based hybrid variant. Expect plenty of lux along with supercar performance.
00.8 Lincoln MKS
This one won't be as "worth waiting for" as it could've been, because Ford has dumped the Yamaha V-8 version. We don't understand why: Midsize sport sedans from Audi, Mercedes-Benz, BMW, and crosstown rival Cadillac have V-8s. But a turbocharged V-6 should come close performance-wise, and the Volvo S80-based, AWD platform is a good one.
00.9 Nissan GT-R
This marque's much-anticipated supercoupe will pack a 450-horse twin-turbo V-6 of around 3.7 liters, AWD, a six- (or seven) speed dual clutch/auto-clutch gearbox with paddle shifters, and 20-inch wheels. Its performance sights will be set squarely on the Porsche 911 Turbo. The wait is nearly over, as its public reveal takes place at the Tokyo show in October.
00.10 Ford Shelby GT Convertible
We'll be drowning in cool Mustangs this year and next. The Shelby GT will be offered in ragtop form for 2008, and Ford will launch another round of Bullitt-edition Mustangs for next year, too. Development continues on the Shelby GT500KR, and Ford will give the Mustang lineup a midlife update for 2009. Will we then see a Boss 302?

The Top 100 Heavy Metal Albums
Below are what we, the staff of Metal-Rules.com, have collectively decided are the best and most influential heavy metal albums of all time. We scored a list of some 400-500 albums to determine the top 100. There is absolutely nothing scientific about the ranking that appears below; it is simply the collective opinion of a group of true metalheads. Not everyone will agree with the list or all the items in it, and that's fine, we make no apologies for having an opinion and sharing it with you! This is not meant to be the only definitive list in existence, but it does reflect the common interests of everyone who writes for metal-rules.com as of September 2003.
The Top 10
#1. Metallica - Master of Puppets
Metallica are a band that opened many doors for a lot of fans/bands. They also opened many doors and provided a lot of listeners with a gateway to other more extreme bands. Sadly, much of their material post "the black album" hardly qualifies as heavy metal, but in their prime this band dealt out thrash metal that was second to none! Just listen to "Damage Inc." or "Battery" and even today they still stand up against what has come along.
#2. Iron Maiden - Number of the Beast
It is of no surprise that IRON MAIDEN comes close to the top spot. Culling fans from all areas of the metal spectrum, Iron Maiden, clearly are one of the true innovators in heavy metal. The intro to the track "Number of the Beast" has become one of the "prayers" of heavy metal with just about every fan knowing it word for word.
#3. Metallica - Ride the Lightning
Arguably Metallica's heaviest album, the glorious RIDE THE LIGHTNING comes in at #3! This was the album that really started getting Metallica recognized around the world. It was followed up with MASTER OF PUPPETS which is really what put them on the map. However, the impact of RIDE THE LIGHTNING was definitely felt with "hits" like "Fade To Black", and "For Whom The Bell Tolls" to lesser hailed (but equally memorable) tracks like "Escape" and "Creeping Death" .
#4. AC/DC - Back in Black
Some of you youngsters will no doubt say "WTF is a classic rock band doing in a heavy metal list?" It is true that AC/DC has become darlings of the classic rock radio circuit, also their recent performance with the Rolling Stones in Canada to several hundred thousand people only goes to show that their appeal extends well outside of the metal realm. All this aside, that does not mean that their contribution to heavy metal in the 70's and 80's should be ignored! BACK IN BLACK is not only one of the best heavy metal albums of all time, it is also one of the best selling "normal" albums of all time as well!!
#5. Slayer - Reign in Blood
REIGN IN BLOOD is hailed by many as the definitive Slayer album. Clearly most of us here at Metal-Rules.com agree, as the album comes in at #5. As I've said before, listening to this album is like a religious experience. "Angel of Death" is one of the best Slayer songs ever written. The whole album plays like the soundtrack to hell. Learn the sacred words of praise, hail SLAYERRRRRRR!!!
#6. Iron Maiden - Powerslave
Iron Maiden's POWERSLAVE is a monster of an album. After the success of NUMBER OF THE BEAST and its follow up PIECE OF MIND, Iron Maiden was hard pressed to deliver an album that would match its predecessors. They would not disappoint as POWERSLAVE, with its instant classic tracks including "2 Minutes to Midnight" and the epic "Rime of the Ancient Mariner" would cement Iron Maiden at the forefront of the metal world and spawn the massive and seemingly never-ending World Slavery Tour.
#7. Iron Maiden - Piece of Mind
Maiden again? Yes, again...making for the third entry in our top 10! Many people consider this the pinnacle of Maidens career and with tracks like "The Trooper", "Still Life", "Die With Your Boots On" and "Flight of Icarus" it is hard to disagree. Piece of Mind turned 20 years old this year and forever will be a classic of the metal genre.
#8. Dio - Holy Diver
Ex-Rainbow, ex-Sabbath vocal god Ronnie James Dio comes in at #8. Pushing to his 60's, this old goat can still easily kick the ass of the majority of singers on the scene.
#9. Slayer - Seasons in the Abyss
SEASONS IN THE ABYSS is considered by some to be the last "classic" Slayer album. Songs like the evil title track and speed metal masterpieces like "Born of Fire" and "War Ensemble" have become fan favorites standing shoulder to shoulder alongside the band's past material.
#10. Judas Priest - Screaming For Vengeance
Rounding out the top 10 is SCREAMING FOR VENGEANCE, the quintessential Priest album in the eyes of many. Fronted by the metal god Rob Halford, Priest have been one of the defining bands of the metal movement. You`ve Got Another Thing Coming helped to create a new generation of metalheads and showed to the world that Metal Rules!!
