A transformer robot which can really transform (no not the Optimus Prime), this is one of the coolest mods/inventions that I have ever seen. It’s not just an ordinary robot but a robot which can move and transform itself from a motorized truck to an upright position (Check out the video below). Transformers fanatics will really like this. It was built for a robotics class by “Kevmag 2000”.

Check out the video below:

If you are a hardcore Transformers fan, then you might be interested in this-the G1 Optimus Prime Head with Built-In USB Speakers. Yes, you can listen to music, but it doesn’t have such great quality sound. It is pretty moderate. But if you like Optimus Prime and support the Autobots, you can keep it with your Transformers collection.

The head weighs 3-pounds and in the sides of its helmet there is a set of speakers. And the controls are on the back. In addition to this, there will also be Ultra Magnus.

It is priced at $49.99 and is available at Big Bad Toy Store.

Now you can send large attachment files in gmail upto 25MB because Google has increased the attachment size from 20MB to 25MB. This is good news for the Gmail users, but if you have to send an email to your friend who is having another email account(with smaller attachment limit) other than gmail, then it is likely that the mail will not reach him and it will bounce back. So it is best for gmail users, as till now or better still you could invite your friend to using gmail.

Gmail users with the flash uploader will get an error pop-up if the file exceeds the 25MB size limit.
