At first, people will think that this notebook case was a fantastic idea. It disguises your MacBook Pro (or similarly-sized machine) as a newspaper, and has a hidden zipper to stop it falling out.
But take a closer look. Spanish readers will note that the name of the paper is spelled wrong (it should be La Vanguardia, with an extra “i” before the final letter). This would grab our eye immediately, as would the “Herold Tribune” and “Le Pais”, presumably all altered for copyright reasons.
Still, disguise is a great idea: we usually carry my MacBook in a Jiffy Bag, tucked inside one of those indestructible Tyvek FedEx envelopes, and some people actually had her laptop survive being left at a pub overnight using a similar trick.
Ironically, there is no version for the British Isles. Brits will see this joke coming: The obvious candidate for laptop-hiding in the UK would be the Guardian, a paper so famed for its poor spelling that its affectionate nickname is the Grauniad.
Who says that we are in a flatscreen age with the TOOB? The TOOB allows a user one of those domed theater experiences, but in your household.
It is powered by a projector from a home theater, and allows the user to plug anything into it, such as a video games system or DVD player. I am guessing that the user lays down in front of it and feels an immersed experience.
I’m guessing that this experience is limited to the amount of people lying down in front of it. I don’t really know if these photos do it justice for what it can really do. I mean, just imagine being right in front of that alligator.
So who needs 3D on our TVs, right? This sort of reminds me of the time I was watching the first Lord of the Rings in the theater, and the curved screen sort of made the experience more grand. I had to shift my focus to see objects in the distance, and it sort of felt like I was in Middle Earth itself.
Well, if you want this 3 foot by 6 foot TOOB, it will cost you. It costs about $1,440, and there is an 8 foot by 16 foot inflatable version. That might be good for movie parties in a public park, or something.
If you’re a true geek, every type of portable device on the planet is probably vying for the valuable electricity at your home. Unfortunately all those gadgets make a big mess with their power adapters and cables while they suck up life-giving electrical juice. Now you can hide that charging cable disaster with scenic grass.
The Grassy Lawn Charging Station provides you with realistic artificial grass to cushion your gadgets while they charge. A compartment underneath hides all of the power adapters and cables. Simply run a standard extension cable into the bottom of the base, plug in all your power adapters, then snake the charging cables up through the grass. Voila! Your gadgets will think they’re on a charging vacation.
Whether you’re lookin’ to fix a flat tire or pump up a flat football, the AirPro Cordless Air Compressor is ideal because it’s both battery operated and handheld. Great for bikers or brawlers, it provides up to 120 PSi of pumping strength and connects via a 15 inch air hose with locking Schraeder connector.
What’s really beneficial, is that the AirPro comes with two super bright LED work lights built into it so that if you’re stuck on the interstate at night you can not only see what you’re doing, but the lights will help you hunt down any foreign objects which may be sticking out of your tire. In the handle is an easy to read pressure dial and the top contains a hidden compartment for placing a variety of nozzle adapters including a ball needle.
The Air Pro is powered by a 12 volt DC power pack and includes a wall charger. Cost is about $70 from Brookstone. http://www-chi.brookstone.com/auto-and-car-gadgets2_airpro-cordless-air-compressor.html. One this is for certain, with a handheld capability, it sure beats pumping up and down on a plunger hoping to get your bike tire fixed.
This desktop tank holds three jellyfish which “swim” around the tank (thanks to a gently contrived current). In the top of the tank are 6 bright LEDs, which let you set the mood. You can either have them blend softly from one color to the next, or stop on your favorite color.
Either way, the jellies are happy to frolic in their kaleidoscopic, quiet menace. And if one of your subordinates ever acts up, just remind him or her about the Blackbeard story and let them know there’s room in your jellyfish tank for a hand or two. Sometimes threats are all you need. Arrrgh.
If you are having any troubles getting your jellies to swim about properly, remember to add just a few drops of liquid dish soap to the water as per the instructions. It’s the part that makes the magic happen.
We all remember seeing those incredible ads for x-ray specs in the back of comic books and some of us probably even mailed in the $3 to a PO Box in New Jersey for rush delivery. “Surprise your friends with amazing x-ray vision” the ads would read. Yeah, someone is going to be surprised but it’s not going to be your friends.
These camera sunglasses certainly aren’t x-ray specs, but they do capture 1.3 megapixel still images (at a resolution of 1280×1024). The included RF remote-control is ideal for easy, stealth-style photo shooting. High-quality lightweight frame material and UV400 polarized flip-up lens. A polymer li-ion rechargeable battery provides a battery life of up to 9 hours (shooting 1 photo/minute). USB 2.0 interface via a standard Mini USB port for data upload and download & re-charging the battery.
The sunglasses also allow you to enjoy your music via built-in MP3 playback. Built-in earbuds provide super convenient listen capability and can be hooked out of the way when not in use.
Protection against UV rays and to a USB storage. Everything is possible now converted Flash Stick. Why not also sunglasses? And even if is by Calvin Klein, and technology and a method of unansehliche be a merger.
Sunglasses have USB 4GB incorporated in the right temple. Why is not a key left for integrated? A question. As we have the Star-Designer also a reply.
Memory glass eyes, from October to have his. $ 199 for the United States.
Bruce Lee is a martial arts legend. And Nokia is a living mobile legend. So why not make a Bruce Lee edition of a Nokia phone? And what better handset to choose than the N96 Nseries flagship?
That’s right, Nokia has recently released, in Hong Kong, the Nokia N96 Bruce Lee limited edition phone.
The handset has Bruce Lee’s face and signature on the back case, and it’s packed with rare photos of the legendary actor. The phone further comes bundled with several accessories and a Bruce Lee doll, made by a company called Enterbay.
The Bruce Lee Nokia N96 costs 8,788 Chinese yuan (about $1,286). Apparently, you have to know how to read Chinese to complete the purchase.
Logic will tell you that playing games or watching DVDs on your laptop might just be a slight drain on its battery life. But what else can you do to use your power pack more miserly? Here’s 5 top tips to make your battery life a whole lot longer:
1. Turn everything off
It might seem straightforward, but you’d be amazed at how many people walk around with Bluetooth and Wi-Fi switched on. Turn them off when they’re not in use – which is even easier if you’ve got a hardware switch or keyboard shortcut to do it.
2. Dim the screen
Running out of power fast? Turn the screen brightness down; you’ll be amazed at how much juice it saves. That’s because your screen is the most power-intensive component in your laptop.
3. Unplug unnecessary kit
If you don’t need to have a flash drive or host-powered hard drive plugged in, take it out. This is doubly important for USB wireless adapters, 3G data cards and USB sticks as well as chargeable items such as phones and iPods; they can be very draining.
4. Optimise Power Options
In XP and Vista, visit Power Options in your Control Panel. If miserly power consumption is your top priority, ensure this is reflected in the settings there. Make sure you turn off your screen and hard disk after a short period of inactivity.
5. Battery care
Lithium-Ion batteries don’t need a complete discharge (contrary to popular belief) but also you should use a battery once you’ve charged it. If you have a spare you keep topped up, use that instead of your main regularly. If you have an older non-Lithium-Ion battery, you’ll need to regularly discharge it.
