Vintage iPod Tube Amp/Charger
This black stylish iPod amplifier/charger allows you to enjoy your playlists with the “warmth and richness only a vintage tube amplifier can provide”.
You’ll be amazed at how time-proven, pre-amp tube circuitry can reveal the subtle detail of brushes on a snare drum, or the sonic thunder of a Fender Precision Bass striking that low ‘E’ — as when the Funk Brothers’ James Jamerson sets the groove for Marvin Gaye’s “I Heard it Through the Grapevine”. Aural details that have been lost as MP3 files are compressed for storage and transmission, dramatically re-emerge through this 25 watts RMS per channel, all-tube pre-amp system.
Rugged steel chassis finished in gloss piano black includes massive power transformer, and 3 multi-plate vacuum tubes protected in a removable, ventilated cage. Optional stereo speakers in matching gloss black feature efficient ported Bass-Reflex design, 3/4” tweeters, and robust 4” woofers. Includes cradle inserts for all iPods (except Shuffle), 2 additional source inputs, S-video and RCA video outputs, 2 pair of gold-plated speaker terminals, and remote.

Different brand, but I actually use PowerLine 85Mbps network adapters a fair bit. IMO they're the shit and they save you having to run Cat5/6 throughout your house unless you need the extra speed - they're fine for 99% of things. The one thing to remember is that if you run a non-encrypted network, anyone can plug another PowerLine adapter say into an outside power point, and they're connected to your LAN.
I cannot stress how much these have helped me in situations where you just can't get a decent wireless signal. The best thing I can think of is if you are using them with an IP-based camera for security - you don't need to run coax or any extra wires at all out to the camera - you just need power!
The sweet-toothed might just appreciate the Ame de Watame cotton candy maker. The $229 machine allows you to make your own cotton candy from real candy—which means you can have just about any kind of flavor you want, including cough sweets. Just toss the candy in the machine, stick a stick in the bowl and three minutes later you're ready to roll.

They certainly look cool but SATA connectors are way too shit to handle that kind of treatment for very long... Wait till a few months after they sell these and I reckon tons of people will be whinging cause the ports on the drives have become damaged or broken off completely - making the data on the drives a little hard to access...
Considering how cheap some SATA enclosures are I think you'd be better off just putting drives into an enclosure instead.

Someone needs to make one that looks like a uranium core (as in, what would be used in a movie to represent one) and make it glow green.

Remember Super Mario Land for the Gameboy? Yeah, that shit was hard. Well Flickr user revolvingdork went and laser etched the top of his Eee PC with the entire freaking game.
Everything from the familiar layouts of 1-1 to the climactic battle with Tatanga in the clouds at the end of 4-3 is represented in the etching.
This was made possible with the laser cutter at NYC Resistor in Brooklyn, where you can go to get your laptop etched too!
I set the laser in raster mode at 70% speed and 40% power to achieve this look
If you give me the $40 odd it will cost,
i will buy for you for sure

I wish I could believe you.
The spheres have integrated sensors that detect other Boids, and overall ambient light, and adjust their brightness accordingly. Alone a Boid will react to ambient illumination, but put together with others they display intriguing flows and patterns. Says Klaas, "The Boid is also a social product. It can bring Boid-owners together to interact and unfold even more mystical patterns."

Wouldnt it just be easier to eat chocolate and lemonade?
Strawberries aren't particularly sweet to start with (great in savoury salads) so a sweet version sounds like it would be great
I don't have much of a sweet tooth but would definately be interesting to try - wiki says they last for 15-60 mins
Have you tried it with chocolate yet? I heard they greatly alter bitter tastes, but leave sweet ones relatively untouched.
I am looking forward to trying something like a bit of raw onion. Or an olive. I love olives anyway, but I do want to try them with these berries.
Hurry up and grow, berries!

Will beer drinkers embrace Château Cardboard?
April 21, 2010
By Editor
The phrase ‘beer is the new wine’ is often heard as the craft beer trend gathers pace, but if one industrial designer has his way beer could soon become the old wine being sold in cardboard four-litre casks.
Australian industrial designer Tom Hussey has designed a four-litre cardboard ‘keg’ that looks remarkably like an old school wine cask but could revolutionise beer packaging.
Beer has traditionally avoided being relegated to casks because of the difficulties of keeping carbonated drinks pressurised in their flexible, inflatable bladders as well as preventing air getting into the packaging.
Hussey’s ‘kegless’ sustainable beer package uses a collapsible design that he says “eliminates the need for the complex pressurised carbon dioxide systems that limit the success of other large volume packages.” It relies on a telescoping skeleton that collapses a polyethylene bag to maintain pressure on the contents preventing the beer from going flat while a tap with check valve is designed to prevent oxygen from spoiling the beer prolonging its life.
Hussey’s description says that the collapsible design of Kegless eliminates the need for the complex pressurised carbon dioxide systems that limit the success of other large volume packages.
While the idea itself seems brilliant, another selling point is that the simple and basic design allows a low cost manufacturing and distribution solution, with reduced environmental impacts throughout its life cycle.
“I wanted to reduce the environmental effects, but also reduce cost and provide a marketing benefit,” Hussey said.
The product reportedly can keep beer fresh for up to a month and Hussey has received interest from at least one major brewer. Hussey is one of 14 finalists in the student category of the 2010 Australian Design Award and currently has a patent pending for the design.
That reminds me of this joint. Surely it's where they got some of the inspiration from.

Wow, this is indeed fantastic! I have heard that ice cream is one of the best resort when you feel sadness. But the ice cream machine is really fascinating- I would love to try it!
Yes, they're a bit gimmicky. I mean they look useful but once you get out and about it's not something all that handy to use all that often. Better off getting a normal tripod IMO.
need something lightweight and not bulky for traveling - haven't seen many smaller tripods in my travels but might make some comparisons before purchasing
anyone else?
Mate of mine bought one for use on a trip overseas and it broke pretty early on in the piece.

Feeling unhappy? Then eat ice cream!

Dr. Whippy, developed by Demitrios Kargotis, is an ice cream machine that will serve you delicious ice-y goodness depending on how unhappy you are. Using voice stress analysis, the machine will ask the user several questions and will use their responses to gauge their level of sadness. The sadder you are, the more ice cream Dr. Whippy serves.

A cool toy would be a wii controller and sensor that is modded to attach to a computer, so you could surf the internet or play games or something away from ur computer whilst laying in bed, or even just use it as an input for normal games so you can play them like any wii game...
Anyone any good at programming? We will easily make 1 billion. We split profits 50/50, only i get more because i thought of it.

Flying car to take off in 2009
Woburn (MA) - A company called Terrafugia is currently developing a plane that transitions into a car. For a mere $148,000 you too can own a Transition. When completed in late 2009, it will have an average cruising speed of 115 mph, gets over 25 mpg in the air. It’s classified as a Light Sport Utility vehicle and weighs only 1320 lbs. It will be powered by a 100 hp, 4-stroke Rotax 912 ULS. This engine is FAA certified to run on both 91+ octane autogas as well as 100LL. The same engine is used to power the rear push-prop and front wheels, using a clutch-based transmission for power selection. The Rotax engine is certified to allow a 5% ethanol mixture.
Cargo and dimensions
The vehicle will have 550 lbs of usable cargo weight in a 20 cubic foot space, which can be divided up among people, bags or fuel. It has a 20 gallon fuel tank which consumes about 120 lbs of fuel. Its maximum range is 460 miles (400 nm) when operating at 75% power, which is required to sustain 115mph cruising speed. When in folded position, the vehicle measures just 6.75 feet high, by 7.5 feet wide, by 18.75 feet long. No data on the wingspan was given, however it could not exceed approximately 35 feet due to the stated dimensions and mechanical operation of the wing through a single central hinge. The internal cabin space is 50 inches wide.
Transition’s wing loading is approximately 8.8 lbs per square foot, which is comparable to light sport or general purpose aviation aircraft. They currently have a working prototype wing design, however it is machine mounted and is not part of the actual aircraft. All of the pictures and images seen are either from a 1/5th scale prototype that was built and flown, or from computer generated animation.
The vehicle goes from 1-2-3, or from 3-2-1 via the push of a button. It must be stopped, engine off, to make the transition. The vertical stabilizers double as rear taillights and indicators. A pilot’s license is required to operate the vehicle, which will have a price tag of approximately $148,000. It will be available in late 2009, with a full-size prototype completed in late 2008. A 1/5th prototype has already been created and flown.
In order to operate the vehicle, the pilot (not the driver) will have to be FAA certified and hold a pilot’s license. Currently only a visual flight rating (VFR) ability is planned, as the on-board instruments will not be sufficient for a full Instrument Rating.

Vintage iPod Tube Amp/Charger
This black stylish iPod amplifier/charger allows you to enjoy your playlists with the “warmth and richness only a vintage tube amplifier can provide”.
You’ll be amazed at how time-proven, pre-amp tube circuitry can reveal the subtle detail of brushes on a snare drum, or the sonic thunder of a Fender Precision Bass striking that low ‘E’ — as when the Funk Brothers’ James Jamerson sets the groove for Marvin Gaye’s “I Heard it Through the Grapevine”. Aural details that have been lost as MP3 files are compressed for storage and transmission, dramatically re-emerge through this 25 watts RMS per channel, all-tube pre-amp system.
Rugged steel chassis finished in gloss piano black includes massive power transformer, and 3 multi-plate vacuum tubes protected in a removable, ventilated cage. Optional stereo speakers in matching gloss black feature efficient ported Bass-Reflex design, 3/4” tweeters, and robust 4” woofers. Includes cradle inserts for all iPods (except Shuffle), 2 additional source inputs, S-video and RCA video outputs, 2 pair of gold-plated speaker terminals, and remote.

Lan through your power point!
Different brand, but I actually use PowerLine 85Mbps network adapters a fair bit. IMO they're the shit and they save you having to run Cat5/6 throughout your house unless you need the extra speed - they're fine for 99% of things. The one thing to remember is that if you run a non-encrypted network, anyone can plug another PowerLine adapter say into an outside power point, and they're connected to your LAN.
I cannot stress how much these have helped me in situations where you just can't get a decent wireless signal. The best thing I can think of is if you are using them with an IP-based camera for security - you don't need to run coax or any extra wires at all out to the camera - you just need power!Lurk moar

Pre-order now to be one of the first to get your hands on the R2D2 Projector and avoid missing out! As soon as we get them in stock it will be despatched to you. Expected: February 2008
This has to be the ultimate piece of kit for true Star Wars fans. As well as been a working remote control replica of R2D2 (built to 1/2 scale), with realistic sounds and lights taken from the movies, this is also a video projector that can project video (or still images) onto your wall up to 80 inches from corner to corner.
R2D2 lets you use DVD’s and CD’s with his own integrated player. Connect external devices though the video and audio ports, project photos and videos directly from memory cards (SD, MMC, Memory Stick and Smart Media), USB flash drives and with the integrated iPod dock, even your iPod photos or videos. The iPod docking station can be found in a hidden compartment on the front of Artoo’s body and is compatible with 3rd generation iPod’s and higher.
Stereo and surround sound can be enjoyed through the integrated 20W speakers.
Artoo is fully motorized and his remote control is a scaled replica of the Millennium Falcon. You can move him in any direction, rotate his head unit and even tilt his legs backwards, to make ceiling projection possible.
The remote lets you control all of R2D2’s movements as well as video and audio functions, and gives you full control over your iPod’s menu, which can also be projected.
Artoo has a series of built in sophisticated sensors. The first of these is the surface sensor, used firstly to stop R2D2 from going over the edge of a surface, such as a staircase. The second are leg sensors, located on the body near the legs, and are to prevent anything getting caught during leg movement. The third is the projection sensor, ensuring that Artoo is at least 1.5m from the object wall before projecting.

The sweet-toothed might just appreciate the Ame de Watame cotton candy maker. The $229 machine allows you to make your own cotton candy from real candy—which means you can have just about any kind of flavor you want, including cough sweets. Just toss the candy in the machine, stick a stick in the bowl and three minutes later you're ready to roll.

Wrong Number Generator
If you really want to screw with someone, put this Wrong Number Generator on their landline. When your victim tries to make a call, it'll screw up some digits and randomly dial someone. Better yet, it only does this 75% of the time, meaning that it'll let them dial the right number 25% of the time—which allows them to think that they've got the sloppiest fingers in the world.

Buying stolen properties, pimpin hoes, building crack houses and projects, paying protection fees and getting car jacked are some of the elements of the game. Not dope enough?...If you don't have the money that you owe to the loan shark you might just land yourself in the Emergency Room.

Pirate vs Ninjas
\
The Battle Rages On!
Ninjas vs. Pirates; Pirates vs. Ninja. Everyone seems to think that Pirates and Ninjas don't like each other. Sure, sometimes they fight, but mainly those fights are just for training purposes. Training for the final battle against the real threat to Ninjas and Pirates: Zombies. Zombies, you see, have begun to invade our neighborhoods (that dude across the street) and workplaces (your boss), and Ninjas and Pirates are here to work together to rid our world once and for all of the living dead. Deployment is easy. Just load one Ninja or Pirate into their launcher, and one pull of the trigger will send a member of your Ninja Clan or Pirate Crew flying at your undead target. You get 4 different, 1 ¼” warriors with each launcher. Choose either Eric, Roger, Al, and Takashi (Ninjas); Captain Blackbeard, Blackjack Jason, Cannonball Dan, and Buccaneer Bette (Pirates); or both! Ninjas and Pirates working together - because, hey, fighting Zombies is hard work. But with an army of Pirates and Ninjas on your side, it's a battle you're sure to win.

They certainly look cool but SATA connectors are way too shit to handle that kind of treatment for very long... Wait till a few months after they sell these and I reckon tons of people will be whinging cause the ports on the drives have become damaged or broken off completely - making the data on the drives a little hard to access...
Considering how cheap some SATA enclosures are I think you'd be better off just putting drives into an enclosure instead.

That's a pretty fucking awesome idea in my books. I wonder if the HDD is kept cooler that way though compared to the design of most enclosures where it draws heat away through conduction or a fan?
Posted: 17 Apr 2008, 9:33pmSubject: Re: Cool Toys/Gadgets
Another company makes them, I'm not sure what their called but that has been out for a fair while now (i think since last year)
Posted: 17 Apr 2008, 9:36pmSubject: Re: Cool Toys/Gadgets
I've got something very similar to the adaptor pictured below and hard drives definitely get hotter plugged in sitting on my desk (I use it for testing and recovery etc...) than what they do in a case or an enclosure. In a case heat is being transferred to the metal around it or away by fans and in a (decent) enclosure it's being transferred to the enclosure itself or away by a fan. So I would assume that the drive would get hotter using this type of thing...

Just saw this: Bubble Wrap Toy, Finger Feast
If in your version of Heaven thousands of angels are on call with endless miles of bubblewrap for your consumption, then the PuchiPuchi Bubble Wrap Toy might be for you.
From what we can tell, the pocket device simulates the feel of popping bubble wrap while using a tiny speaker to make that ever so satisfying popping noise. What bubble wrap aficionados will find disturbing, however, is that every 100 pops bestows the user with a fart, barking dog, door chime or sexy voice.
The website to buy it from is some classic Jap weirdness: http://www.asovision.com/putiputi/

STAR Wars tragics have been Twittering, blogging and MySpacing about the news like crazy. Now the rest of the country is about to learn about a new toy.
It's due in Australia this year that unleashes the power of The Force.
"Remember, a Jedi can feel the Force flowing through him," said Obi-Wan to Luke in the Star Wars movie.
Now Stars Wars The Force Trainer will be launched at the Australian Toy Fair in Melbourne by distributor Global Discovery on Friday.
Created by a US science-based toy company called Uncle Milton, The Force Trainer will be in stores here by September with a price tag between $199 and $249.
Star Wars The Force Trainer
image not archived: 0,,6535820,00.jpg
Using a headset which picks up alpha and beta brainwaves, the toy translates brainwaves to a motor at the base of a small tube.
The aim is to "use The Force" by relaxing enough to transmit alpha and beta brainwaves. The wearer has to empty their mind to get the motor to work. Once it does, the motor drives a small fan which sends a ball up the tube.
"Most people think it's some kind of trick when they see it for the first time, as if someone is hiding somewhere with a remote control or something," Global Discovery sales manager Heath May said yesterday.
"But it's actual science at work."
Star Wars Trilogy characters reward the user with lines from the movie, urging them to advance through 16 levels of Jedi training.
A Darth Vader robotic arm will also be shown at the fair.

The spheres have integrated sensors that detect other Boids, and overall ambient light, and adjust their brightness accordingly. Alone a Boid will react to ambient illumination, but put together with others they display intriguing flows and patterns. Says Klaas, "The Boid is also a social product. It can bring Boid-owners together to interact and unfold even more mystical patterns."

There're gonna be rolling out some robots to serve at a restaurant chain over here in Thailand soon, it should be interesting haha!
Thai-made robots to serve at MK Suki
CT Asia Robotics, Thailand's first manufacturer of robots, will launch Thailand's first commercial robot at MK Restaurants early next year with plans to export them to Japan in the next three years.
Chalermpon Punnotok, chief executive of CT Asia Robotics, has more ambitious plans after selling 10 robots, worth 1 million baht each, to MK to serve food and offer entertainment screens.
"At 46%, Japan has the largest demand for robots in the world. We envision one robot per house by 2019, which will occur in countries with high wages such as Japan.
"The number of Japanese elderly will increase rapidly, so we are planning robots that will look after the elderly," he said.
The company also plans to launch an interactive edutainment robot during the end of next year for placement at museums, schools and TK Park.
The National Innovation Agency (NIA) provided 1.8 million baht of the 3 million total for prototype development by Thai robotic engineers.
The Japan Robot Association estimates that by 2025 the robot market will be at US$66.4 billion, with service robots at about $50 billion.
Meanwhile, Taiwan's Industrial Development Bureau predicts that by 2020 the market value for all types of robots will lie at $1.4 trillion, more than the worldwide car market.
Science and Technology Minister Khunying Kalaya Sophonpanich said Thailand has many talented robotic engineers, but no outlet for them show off their talents.
"They are either hired by the Japanese because they can pay them a lower wage, or they are jobless," she said.
Then MK stepped into the void.
"The reason why we are co-operating with CT is because many Thai universities produce high-quality robotic engineers, but there are no jobs because there is not a market, so we provided one," said Rit Thirakomen, president of MK Restaurant Co.
MK plans to use the robots as gimmicks to entertain customers and do repetitive jobs such as welcoming customers.
"It might not significantly increase the number of children visiting MK, but the kids there will be happier," he said, adding around 20-25% of MK's customers are children.

Puppy Tweets: Tweeting Dog Collar Lets Your Dog Share On Twitter
Toddlers, sneakers, and even scales can tweet--so why not dogs?
A new Twitter-enabled dog collar called 'Puppy Tweets' from Mattel will allow Fido to broadcast its everyday actions on Twitter.
The LA Times explains, 'Attached to a dog's collar, the plastic tag randomly generates one of 500 canned tweets when it detects barking or movement and automatically posts an update to Fido's own Twitter page.'
'Puppy Tweets' includes phrases like, 'I bark because I miss you. There, I said it. Now hurry home' or 'I finally caught that tail I've been chasing, and . . . OOUUUCHH!'
Over time, your dog's tweets will eventually start to duplicate themselves (but then again, so do human Twitterers').
'It is a new frontier for us,' Mattel Brands President Neil Friedman told the LA Times. 'We think it could be the start of a new wave of products for people to interact with their pets.'
If you want your dog to tweet but aren't sold on Puppy Tweets, check out Japan's BowLingual. The app, which should be available in English later this year, promises to analyze your dog's bark and translate it into one of six emotions, which it then syncs with a phrase that corresponds to that feeling. That phrase can then be tweeted out through your dog's Twitter account.
Puppy Tweets will go on sale this fall for around $29.99. See a photo of the tweeting dog collar below.

Both of them are currently alive and we have seen new shoots! The humidity lately is helping them a lot. We plan to have a miracle berry party when they have grown!
Long story short and if you can't be bothered clicking the link... The berries don't have a huge amount of flavour themselves however if you eat one and allow the juice to cover your mouth and tongue, they make EVERYTHING taste sweet. Guinness tastes like chocolate. Lemons taste like lemonade, that kind of thing.
Can not wait!

Strawberries aren't particularly sweet to start with (great in savoury salads) so a sweet version sounds like it would be great
I don't have much of a sweet tooth but would definately be interesting to try - wiki says they last for 15-60 mins

Have you tried it with chocolate yet? I heard they greatly alter bitter tastes, but leave sweet ones relatively untouched.

I mashed and swirled the fruit around in my mouth for while then spat it out (I don't think they're that edible per se). Then I squeezed a fresh lime into my mouth and it tasted like a really sweet juice!
It was pretty bizarre.

Terry can only eat dark chocolate as he can't have milk. So it would be bitter chocolate that we try. I am looking forward to trying something like a bit of raw onion. Or an olive. I love olives anyway, but I do want to try them with these berries.

Will beer drinkers embrace Château Cardboard?
April 21, 2010
By Editor
The phrase ‘beer is the new wine’ is often heard as the craft beer trend gathers pace, but if one industrial designer has his way beer could soon become the old wine being sold in cardboard four-litre casks.
Australian industrial designer Tom Hussey has designed a four-litre cardboard ‘keg’ that looks remarkably like an old school wine cask but could revolutionise beer packaging.
Beer has traditionally avoided being relegated to casks because of the difficulties of keeping carbonated drinks pressurised in their flexible, inflatable bladders as well as preventing air getting into the packaging.
Hussey’s ‘kegless’ sustainable beer package uses a collapsible design that he says “eliminates the need for the complex pressurised carbon dioxide systems that limit the success of other large volume packages.” It relies on a telescoping skeleton that collapses a polyethylene bag to maintain pressure on the contents preventing the beer from going flat while a tap with check valve is designed to prevent oxygen from spoiling the beer prolonging its life.
Hussey’s description says that the collapsible design of Kegless eliminates the need for the complex pressurised carbon dioxide systems that limit the success of other large volume packages.
While the idea itself seems brilliant, another selling point is that the simple and basic design allows a low cost manufacturing and distribution solution, with reduced environmental impacts throughout its life cycle.
“I wanted to reduce the environmental effects, but also reduce cost and provide a marketing benefit,” Hussey said.
The product reportedly can keep beer fresh for up to a month and Hussey has received interest from at least one major brewer. Hussey is one of 14 finalists in the student category of the 2010 Australian Design Award and currently has a patent pending for the design.

Feeling unhappy? Then eat ice cream!
image not archived: 0aawhipp1.jpg
Dr. Whippy, developed by Demitrios Kargotis, is an ice cream machine that will serve you delicious ice-y goodness depending on how unhappy you are. Using voice stress analysis, the machine will ask the user several questions and will use their responses to gauge their level of sadness. The sadder you are, the more ice cream Dr. Whippy serves.
Wow, this is indeed fantastic! I have heard that ice cream is one of the best resort when you feel sadness. But the ice cream machine is really fascinating- I would love to try it!

The Electronic Guitar Shirt is not a toy that plays pre-canned musical riffs, it is a real musical instrument that allows you to play your favorite songs and sound great doing it.

Hit the drums on this shirt with your finger and they play through the built in speaker... simple but amazing. With 7 different drum sounds you're ready for a personal drum solo on your chest.

anyone used a gorilla pod before?

Yes, they're a bit gimmicky. I mean they look useful but once you get out and about it's not something all that handy to use all that often. Better off getting a normal tripod IMO.

Not really cool, but I'm sure someone here has a cat and might find this amusing...

Mate of mine bought one for use on a trip overseas and it broke pretty early on in the piece.
