Top 10 Tech This Week
By Lorenzo Franceschi-Bicchiera,
Mashable, 20 October 2012.

This week in tech was filled with news of astounding gizmos sprinkled with an amazing sports car. Oh, and then there was that guy jumping from the edge of space to become the fastest man ever.

The world of gadgets brought us even more exciting news than last week, with Microsoft’s developers answering a barrage of questions on Reddit, HTC announcing a new phone with a giant, shiny, FullHD, 5-inch screen and JVC’s ground-breaking 55-inch 3D HDTV.

Obviously the biggest story of all was Felix fearlessly jumping from the stratosphere to break the sound barrier, becoming the first human to achieve that incredible feat without the aid of an airplane. The world was watching his seemingly infinite free-fall, and we all held our collective breath until we saw him safely land. To relieve the historic moment we offer the complete video of his jump and the most comprehensive photo gallery you can wish for.
