1. Daredevil Jump
What kind of guy leaps from a balloon-lifted capsule as it dangles 18 miles above the earth? Felix Baumgartner, that's who. And he hasn't even broken the world record yet, set by a jumper for the U.S. Air Force in 1960.
In what was a mere dress rehearsal for the upcoming record-breaking attempt, Baumgartner jumped out of a special capsule when it was 96,640 feet high on Wednesday, reaching a speed of 536mph on his way down. It took him more than 10 minutes to parachute safely to the ground.
If this is the dress rehearsal, what's the real thing going to be like? Baumgartner plans an even more daring parachute jump from 125,000 feet in the next few weeks, smashing the world record by a mile. Make that 4.2 miles -- a world-record altitude from which any person has parachuted before.
2. Google Fiber
You heard the rumors right here last week, and now Google has officially announcedGoogle Fiber, a combination broadband and television service that's set to light up the Kansas City, Kan. and Kansas City, Mo. area in a couple of months.
Here you see the Google Fiber network box, handling broadband duties, and costing those lucky Kansas city dwellers $70 a month to take part in superfast service that offers unheard-of gigabit speeds for downloads and uploads. If you don't need that much speed, a flat fee of $300 gets you 5Mbps download and 1Mbps upload speeds -- about average for Internet service in the U.S. -- and after paying that fee, it will be free. Or, you can pay that off in $25 monthly increments for a year, and after that it's all free. Such a deal.
2. Google Fiber 2
If you're looking for TV service, too, Google will offer "Gigabit + TV" for $120 per month. This gives you a digital video recorder with 1 terabyte of disk space, letting you watch what Google calls a "full channel TV lineup." Also included will be Nexus 7 tablet with which to control everything, a TV box and its associated storage box, as well as that network box for the gigabit connection.
Cable and broadband service providers must be shaking in their boots about this. At the very least, this experimental implementation by Google will spur possible competitors to attempt to follow suit. Google, I implore you, take this excellent idea nationwide. In the meantime, I'll be watching Google Fiber closely, curious about whether providing TV and Internet services at this unusually high speed (and low price) can actually be profitable.

3. Samsung High-Resolution Display
Apple, your Retina display might not be king of the smartphone screens for much longer -- that is, if Samsung is actually testing this 350ppi (pixels per inch) OLED display. It's using an FMM (Fine Metal Mask), new technology that allows OLED screens to display pixel density at astonishing resolutions.
How does that 350ppi compare with the iPhone 4 and 4S's Retina display? Those displays -- which, unlike this Samsung experiment, currently exist -- rock a 326ppi resolution. That would be handily beaten by Samsung's new tech, that might also be able to deliver higher contrast and more vivid colors, a common characteristic of OLED screens.
4. iPhone 6? Already?
Designers must think they have the next iPhone design all figured out. Perhaps that's why one of my favorite conceptual artists, Antoine Brieux, came up with this dazzling concept for a possible iPhone 6.
5. Soul by Ludacris: Usain Bolt Edition
In honor of the Olympics, Soul by Ludacris has released a Usain Bolt Edition of its superb SL300 headphones with active noise cancellation. I took a close listen to the SL300s -- my review unit was in shiny black with white accents -- and I was astonished at the accuracy and punchy power of these comfortable cans.
6. Dragon NaturallySpeaking 12
One of my favorite software applications in the world was just upgraded: Nuance Dragon NaturallySpeaking 12 will be available in a couple of weeks. Until I get my copy, I'll tell you about the one key improvement in this upgrade: Nuance claims it's 20% more accurate than its predecessor.
That's great news, because version 11.5 of NaturallySpeaking is already accurate to the point of seeming like science fiction. It's so good, I use it for everything I write. Can't wait to see if this new version can top it.
Serious gamers, you want your mouse to fit your hand exactly. That's the idea behind the Razer Ouroboros Mouse, a elaborately adjustable ambidextrous pointing device for lefties or righties.
8. OS X Mountain Lion
Mountain Lion has finally arrived, and it's bringing newfound speech recognition, better reminders, tighter iCloud integration, improved notifications and faster speed. In addition, Apple has integrated Twitter into most of its apps, and to a much lesser extent, Facebook.
I especially like the progress Apple's made with its iChat application, now called Messages and incorporating more chat services including AIM and my favorite, Google Chat.
My only gripe?
9. Canon EOS M
Digital cameras are going through a metamorphosis, losing those bulky mirrors and resulting in slim and beautiful cameras like this new Canon EOS M.
10. McLaren JetSet Concept
Take a look at this carbon fiber beauty from the future, a design concept by Marianna Merenmies that looks more like an aircraft than an automobile.
It looks like it's set to pounce with those two wing-like wheel wells, while the front takes some design cues from McLaren cars.
