The problem with consumer electronics is that a new and improved version is always coming out. If you jump on the bandwagon, what do you with the older version? You could try selling it, look into recycling or if you are a pack rat who holds on to old gadgets with a Kung Fu death grip, you could Cubisto. From the site: The idea is to sandwich your nick-nacks (no sniggering at the back!) between [...]
Simple ideas can sometimes become pure genius products. Take one D-Cell battery, top it off with a lamp shade and you have one classic miniature LED table lamp. It even has the quintessential fully working pull chain as the on/off switch. I want one. Price: available as a preorder for $35 and yes, battery is included. [Thanks Claus!]
There are plenty of customizable skins and faceplates for gadgets, so why not change the look of your alarm clock. That is what makes the Fabric Alarm Clock unique. You can pick and change the face with any fabric you want. From the site: Uniquely and endlessly customisable by you! The fabric screen is designed to be removed and replaced with any material you prefer: Tartan? A left over swatch of your bedroom curtains? A [...]
TakeNote is a very strange website provided by Staedler, the description goes something like this: “Write a handwritten note online, we’ll handwritten it and then send it onto any address in Australia†You can register as a receiver and get handwritten letters at your house – The item delivered to the user will consist of one small paper note featuring the exact words submitted by the user. This will be inside a standard hand addressed [...]
A Korean company (lets call it KLIC) has introduced the world’s first terrestrial-based location detection device called KP-100, I really like the “world’s first†detail when a company launches a product, it just makes me look at the gadget with another point of view… not! Anyway, this light (49grams) and small (45.9 x 63.9 x 17.2mm) portable device can provide the precise locations with a margin error of 1 meter, which is pretty good compared [...]
If you’re like me, too often you find yourself hunched improperly over your keyboard, your back curving into an ungainly arch, threatening to condemn you to a life of Quasimodo-like spinal curvature if you don’t shape up and start correcting your posture. Unfortunately, when I’m in the throes of a good blogging session, I’m usually far too entranced by the flow of words across my screen to pay any attention to this sort of mundane [...]
What do you get when you take a classic Apple mouse and combine a bluetooth headset? You get the iNoPhone. From the site: iNoPhone uses a proven user interface based on one button, letting you control your calls with just one finger. So it ushers in an era of sophistication never before seen in a bluetooth device, completely redefining what you can do with your current phone. * OneButton Call Management * Breakthrough Bluetooth Device [...]
Remember iSketch? It is a website I talked a few weeks ago, more precisely an online flash game to draw stuff and let other people guess the word of what you are trying to sketch = interact with other people on the internet in real time. I just found a similar version of the game, but it can be played on a TV and it is now called “Win, Lose or Draw“. In this version [...]
Most of the times we (internet users) are only able to download the latest version of a specific software because that is why the companies offer on their website, but what if for a strange reason we need an older version of programs like WinRar, AIM or Swish? Well, if that is the case, just head on to Old-Versions and check if they have the software version you so urgently need. There are over 50 [...]
These good looking penguin shaped speakers must be one of the few original speakers that I know of, the animal shape (pengiun) isn’t the original part, it is actually their eye movements that go crazy along with the rythm of the music that makes this a daring gadget. It can be connected to a computer or radio, and each small speaker offers 2Watts of sound. Price: €25 (close to $32)
I seriously don’t know if this keyboard with huge 1-inch square keys is a good idea, I’m leaning towards a negative feeling because of how uncomfortable it must be to use, and probably a bit difficult too. On the other side I can see the advantages for some kind of people, but it still doesn’t convince me: No more time will be wasted hunting for the correct key, and more time will be spent typing [...]
The Knock Off Bowling Pin Light for the bowling enthusiast. In it”s standing state, it tells us that it is waiting to be knocked over. When the lamp is on its side, the light is off. When the pin stands up tall, it glows. Price: $22, bowling shirt not included. [via Si Lo Se]
