Sometimes, in the seat of our despair (which almost always corresponds with a viewing of The Real Housewives of New Jersey ), we reflect on the sorry state of the world and note that the one thing we don’t have to doubt is that history is marching us towards a mechanized slaughter that will make World War I look like Burning Man (the rave, not the actual burning people). Sure, it never occurred to anyone to maybe figure out how to cap an undersea oil well , but at least we are making headway in our development of autonomous , long range aircraft (you know, for shooting people and eavesdropping and whatnot). Our latest example of a world gone mad comes courtesy of Boeing , and it’s called Phantom Eye.

Glasses-free 3D has taken several forms, but most have a critical flaw — viewers have to stand in predefined locations to get the effect. That just won’t do, so Microsoft’s prototyped a new approach, and it’s one of the wildest we’ve seen. Taking a cue from Project N ..

We’ve seen quite a few electric motorcycles , and even driven some ourselves, but none quite like the MotoCzysz E1pc, which is touted to be the “world’s most advanced.” As Popular Science discovered in an exclusive look at the bike, there seems to be little doubt about that fact — for starters, the bike packs ten times the battery capacity of a Toyota Prius and two and half times the torque of a Ducati 119 motorcycle and, well, look at it. Other standout features include ten 19.5 pound lithium polymer batteries that don’t have wires so they can be swapped out easily, an oil-cooled electric motor that’s been “developed from the ground up to win races,” and a top speed (so far) of 140 MPH — nearly 40 MPH better than its nearest competitor. Most impressively, however, is the simple fact that the E1pc is indeed built for racing — it’ll take on the Isle of Man TT tomorrow, which is described as the “toughest motorcycle race in the world.” Dare we say it might now also be the most electric
