Mac Fan designs Apple iBook wall clock, crazy idea, but like Apple products, looks good

ibook_clock.jpg

I have to agree with the post, the guys who came up with this littlie number is definitely a Mac-obsessed fan. I mean only someone who serious has a Mac fetish would recycle an Apple iBook G4 and turn it into a clock, complete with a moving Mac-mouse Pendulum counter weight. Running on two replaceable AA batteries it’s 14 inches wide by 18 inches in height. It’s available only in one place and possibly there’s just one piece but if you’re interested it’s out for $75. Little over priced for a clock but then again it is technically an Apple device.

Thanko’s Sport Micro MP3 Player doesn’t seem like it’ll ‘hold up’ to rigorous sports

in-ear_mp3.jpg

Normally I’m quite the fan of Thanko’s products. They’re whacky, innovative and pretty out there but you can’t help but want them. This one though is not one of the better ones. It’s an idea seemingly copied from Bluetooth headsets that also have similar designs. The MP3 player is located in one earpiece (of the in-ear styling) and it has a built on 2.5mm socket that you need to connect a wired earpiece to. That of course goes in the other ear. It’s about 8 grams making it quite light. That’s definitely a good thing since it’s supposed to be designed for sports usage. It has 4GB of internal storage and can read MP3 and WMA file formats. It connects to your PC via a USB that hooks up to the same 2.5m socket.

Darth Vader’s Shadow as an alarm clock

Darth-Vader-Shadow-Alarm.jpg With all the Star Wars accessories, collectibles and devices we’ve seen, there’s barely been one as outrageous as the Darth Vader Shadow alarm clock. It appears to be a simple alarm clock but when it goes off, it casts the horrifying shadow of Darth Vader on the back wall of the room, scaring the crap out of you. It uses a projection technique to do the same. There’s nothing like any Paranormal Activity trick being staged here.

Soccer, washing clothes, same thing!

Swirl.jpg
We are still fresh from surprise after reading about the energy saving soccer ball last week. However, it gets a bit bigger than that when it comes to real application. How about making the ball large enough to accommodate some clothes, and later cleans them as kids get to the game they loved most. The design concept is called ‘Swirl’. It hails from Germany and seems to be the next best thing we have around. The new face of washing machines I say!

Japanese reality TV show will feature Twitter

Japanese_reality_TV_show.jpg A reality TV show called ‘Denpa Shonen 2010’ seems to be all set with the right amount of goodies that can go with Twitter-holics, the world over. The show is supposed to be a sequel of the Susume Denpa Shonen show that started way back in 1992. The subtitle of the new show translates as ‘Can people live with Twitter alone’. The game involves a couple of ‘commanders’ who direct two pair of comedians around Japan, as they drive and score points using some pre-defined rules. The show started airing from January 25th and will continue for a couple of months.

They’ve take the ‘balls’ out of sports

sportpong.jpg The end of sport seems to be nearing here with the development of the ‘Sportpong’. It doesn’t require you to move a real ball around. In fact, it doesn’t even need to be out there, sweating in the field. It’s something like a Nintendo game that requires a players’ physical movements to block or hit a virtual ball. This wouldn’t be so bad after all but alas, the makes have made it such that players do not need to use their hands and feet either. It provides with paddles that have to be worn by users as they use these as reflectors on a projected field.

samsung_s2_usb_hdd.jpg The memories of the King of Pop will never fade away, not if you decide to pick Samsung’s S2 USB 500GB hard drive. This drive comes with Michael Jackson’s ‘This is it’ in it. Besides the cool movie in Blu-ray and DVD format in it, the drive also comes with auto-backup, USB On Board technology, SecretZone, SafetyKey and a lot more. It also has MJ’s silhouette on the golden outer body. Totally hot!

Etch-a-sketch gets all techie

Etch-a-sketch.jpg The whole joy of flipping over your etch-a-sketch and shaking it madly to erase a drawing seems to be going away. With this highly sophisticate toy that’s made its way into our midst, the beloved sketching tool doesn’t get a chance to be a toddlers first digital art device. It’s called the PropEtcher. With the help of a Parallax Propeller chip, this device can draw with the help of a computer that controls it. So it’s basically the same thing, only this time, it has a computer controlling it.

Heineken Bot magically fills your drink

heineken-bot.jpg Alright, you do not believe in magic, but face it, you don’t mind the ancient art as long as it ups your chances in getting hold of some good beer. The Heineken Bot will make it so much simpler to go on a binge drive, with the cool ‘UEFA Champions League’ logo on its side. The robot is the masterpiece of a few innovative folks at the Middlesex University. It obediently makes rounds along a preprogrammed path. Simply rove your hand over the sonar sensing head and pop a cup on its holder. In no time, you’ll be sipping some good beer without straining too many muscles.

LG KM555e Clubby is more than just a name

LG_KM555e_Clubby.jpg Here’s a phone that’s headed right into the path of the Corby, threatening to steal the limelight from it as being the coolest phone in the circuit. It’s called the Clubby phone. For the nerdier one, it is also known as the LG KM555e and provides with a 3 megapixel camera, a WQVGA full touch screen and a few features that clearly seem like more of a compromise rather than a respectable spec sheet. The best part is that it forms another level of rivalry between LG and Samsung. As far as being a fan of cool gadgets is concerned, I am totally undeterred by the likely bitterness that will follow.

Microsoft Peppermill remote control uses You instead of batteries to flip channels

Microsoft_self-powered_TV_remote.jpg Wouldn’t it be great to have device of any kind that required no batteries and just used ‘You’ power? By that I mean of course that you could crank something to generate a little power. It’d be great exercise as well as energy conservative. Not your energy of course, but Mom Natures. Well Microsoft may not be ready to show it off as a consumer retailed device just yet but their labs down in Cambridge, England have created a media remote control called "Peppermill" that just might be the ticket. This simple remote control uses the user’s motions to generate energy. That means all you have to do to switch channels is twist your hand about a bit to use it. "Human-powered user interaction" is what this tech is called and it’s quite fitting.

Happy 10th Birthday SIMs, it’s been a great decade and I’m sure we’ll see more!

The_Sims.jpg EA’s The Sims has got be one of the most popular virtual life/RPG-style games that's out there. The game recently completed 10 years. Wow! A whole decade, that’s quite impressive. The original game made its debut in Feb of 2000. The franchise has even won a bunch of awards. From the dozens of expansion and stuff packs and upgrades to the graphics, the game has been constantly getting better and better it seems over time. It’s one of the best, if not the best-selling PC game out there. Of course it's easily available on almost all platforms and it's even made it's way on to the mobile handset as well making it even more popular. So we’d like to wish those virtual wonders a happy Tenth Birthday and thank them for keeping our, otherwise 'un-exciting' lives a little more colorful. That's said with just a hint of sarcasm though, but with a substantial amount of affection as well.

These Ralph McQuarrie Signature Edition Darth Vader Concept Helmets are on pre order for $250 (non-refundable) but the actual cost is a whopping $900. Hey, if I had that kind of money I’d be putting my payment down right now.
