Novint has the next big thing in controllers, and it might just be a huge success, especially with the enthusiast crowd.
Looking like an odd robot, the Falcon gives you 3D control, allowing movement in ANY direction. It also provides force feedback for a realistic sense of touch, supposedly making it feels like you are playing with a real basketball, have actual gun recoil when firing, etc.

A spectacular crash involving a flatbed truck was caught on tape inside the I-90 connector tunnel. The truck was too big, but the driver kept going despite alarms.
In a video released by the Massachusetts Turnpike Authority Thursday, the flatbed truck carrying a crane is seen heading into the Ted Williams Tunnel. It triggered the overheight sensors and the warning sign before the tunnel’s entrance, but the driver didn’t stop.
Then, a latch detached and the boom of the crane became loose, causing sparks to fly.
Moments later, as regular traffic was moving through the connector tunnel, the crane’s boom gouged into the tunnel ceiling, and the truck came to an abrupt stop.
This Airbus A320, tryed to land yesterday, March 1, at rwy 23 of Hamburg airport. The pilot experienced strong crosswinds and finally forced to a missed approach.
The approach was really scary. The left wingtip actually hit the ground and tore off the winglet. Conditions were so bad that some other flights gave up and diverted.
A near-miss accident. I can only imagine the sheer looks of terror that the passengers must have felt.
Here is the picture of the ground hit, caused the the winglet’s tore off, posted at airliners.net (click the image for bigger version).
