KillaJoule electric sidecar motorcycle tops 216 mph

KillaJoule electric sidecar motorcycle tops 216 mph: "University of Denver engineering graduate student Eva HÃ¥kansson pushed her home-built electric sidecar motorcycle "KillaJoule" to just over 216 mph (347 km/h) last week, while setting a new world record for electric sidecar bikes at the BUB Motorcycle Speed Trials at Bonneville Salt Flats. The top speed comes achingly close to the fastest record ever set with an internal combustion engine for a bike of that type: 219 mph (352 km/h)."

Intel demos WiGig wireless technology that is 10 times faster than 802.11n: "Many home and business local area networks (LANs) built around the 802.11n standard are starting to buckle under the strain placed on them by an ever-increasing number of wireless devices clamoring for bandwidth. A new technology known as WiGig is looking to clear the bottleneck by offering transfer rates 10 times that of the fastest 802.11n networks."
