Recently, we came across yet another idea rooted deep in the Dotonbori Canal in Osaka, Japan, that could very well give way to one of the world’s largest swimming pools! Currently, plans are being drawn up for an 800-m swimming pool that will be integrated into the Dotonbori Canal. With a completion date set for mid-2015, this pool will have water independent of the canal. According to the plan, a massive 12 m wide tank will be added to the canal. This tank will be filled with treated water and will not use filtered water from the canal.

Remember Russel Holly? No? Well, it’s fine. He’s this amazing dude from Geek.com was responsible for the much appreciated and applauded Samsung Galaxy S IV Google Edition leak, a day before it was announced at Google I/O.

Now it so came to pass during the Samsung Galaxy S IV Google Edition that a representative from HTC tweeted that we could either settle for former or wait. That was a clear indicator that HTC were brewing something close to our lustful tastes. HTC’s developer arm has put its brains to work with the modders from that Android sphere to create magic such as a mechanism to flash custom software without much trouble. What’s your take on this? Will it lead more Android developers and modders to head to the HTC camp or will it look like just another effort?

So if we were to pick all those colossal Lego creations and pick the grandest of them all, which one would it be? This byte helped us identify our favorite. A giant, full-scale Lego tribute to the X-Wing Fighter showed up at Times Square. It does hold the accolade of being the largest Lego model ever, unless of course we are unaware about something created in some geeks secret hideaway that was never discovered. The model here was built by Lego, using 5,335,200 bricks. Being a full-scale model surely implies that it can accommodate pilots too! The model bears solid credibility as the most die-hard scale model to grace the States. The model is 11-feet-tall, 43-feet-long, with a 44-foot wingspan and weighs about 46,000 pounds.
