DARPA has chopped $7 million out of its budget for program it’s is calling “Avatar.” Yes, DARPA is talking about that Avatar.… Rather than growing the towering blue aliens that James Cameron had in his awesome science fiction movie, DARPA wants robots.

3D is going to be everywhere this year, thanks to James Cameron’s Avatar…. I recently read that even Mars would be filmed in 3D on those Pathfinder drones. Now, it looks like Sharp came up with a new and cute little add-on that will allow you to film 3D

Sure, sure, the Na’vi people are kind, nature-loving folk. But they also have quite a dark side if you know what buttons to push. Clearly, this cute Avatar-inspired Na’vi cake was created before the RDA came along and knocked down Hometree.

This chubby little Na’vi was created for the That…

If you didn’t already have enough of James Cameron’s Avatar…, you can get more of it thanks to this awesome LEGO Avatar Battle Helicopter. Before you start drooling, there’s more to it than meets the eye, so read on!

This thing has got doors that open, a sort of
