Surely, This Remote-Controlled Bowling Ball Is the Devil's Contraption

You thought Walter and the Dude got mad when that guy stepped over the line in The Big Lebowski? Just wait until they run into this bewitched remote-controlled bowling ball. The Dude most certainly does not abide, man.

Sadly, there's more tech involved here than witchcraft, which doesn't exist. Instead, this cheater's bowling ball, created by the nefarious folks at 900 Global, uses an internal "weight screwed onto a threaded shaft inside the ball," and perhaps an incarcerated hamster to steer itself down the lane and into the target.

The goal here is actually to help young children and those with physical limitations bowl better. Perfection ain't cheap though: The 900 Global ball will run you $1,500. And your immortal soul! [Popular Mechanics | Via: Gawker TV | Via: Gizmodo | Via: Youtube].

Remote-controlled cyborg beetle

First demonstration of a neural stimulator which can accurately control the flight of a freely flying insect.

"The miniaturized system developed by Sato and his colleagues is mounted onto the pronotum (the dorsal, or upper, plate of the exoskeleton), and consists of electrodes implanted into the brain and wing muscles. Flight commands to start and stop flight and control the insect’s elevation and turning were generated on a personal computer running specialized software, and transmitted to a microcontroller which is equipped with a radio transceiver and powered by a microbattery."
