The Christmas season is coming up and nothing says Merry Christmas like a creepy novelty USB gadget. If you know someone that’s still a huge fan of Alien, this creepy little guy may be pointless, but at least he’s cool. He does actually do a few tricks after he’s plugged into your computer, but he doesn’t actually store any of your data.

Following her own suffering with insomnia, designer Kate Evans has created what is essentially a mini light projector which beams a soothing light onto your ceiling. The light then makes circles above you, the idea being that as your eyes follow the projection you gradually slip off to sleep. Whereas something like reading would stimulate the mind and thus keep you asleep, the LightSleeper relaxes you almost hypnotically. It takes under a minute to get it working, and it can be turned on with a tap (great if you wake up in the middle of the night with uber brain fuzz) and automatically switches off after half an hour which means its energy efficient too.

It’s called the Self Stirring Lazy Mug and was created by Plain Lazy to hold your tea, coffee, hot chocolate or other mixed drink, and by pressing the special button on the handle it starts to stir your drink.

Kids just want to have fun, and what better way to learn than through toys and play? After all, don’t deprive your little one of his/her childhood with just books and more books – let them run wild at some point in order to go through the school of hard knocks. In the meantime, the Learn and Grow Robot might be just the thing to help them develop their mental faculties.
The Learn and Grow-Bot is soft and cuddly and packed with features for baby to explore. Each of the four buttons on his chest emits a different silly robot sound. Your geekling will learn cause and effect every time he presses a button and activates a wacky sound. His legs are hinged and attach with Velcro, so they can move back and forth or hold the robot upright. Yes, unlike lesser plushies, this one actually can stand on his own two feet! But we’re not done with awesome robot features. This robot’s arms and collar spin and the lace-up doors on his back reveal a panel of shiny, crinkly material. Got a genius on your hands? He can learn to tie his own shoes with the Learn and Grow-Bot!
Retailing for $19.95, the Learn and Grow Robot will develop sensory, motor, cognitive and social skills. Good only for babies aged 9 months and older – admit it, as a 32 year old you still can’t resist having a go at that crinkly materials plastered all over.
You know how times have changed when you see that clothes are no longer just fashion statements that help keep you warm while looking sharp, as they have evolved to pack in technology that will help soothe you whenever it detects that you are suffering from tension and stress. This is made possible via its double layers which houses bio sensors inside the shirt that picks up the wearer’s stress levels, sending signals to corresponding LEDs connected to the shirt. The higher the stress levels, the faster the LEDs will blink, where therapy will then be recommended via stimulation of specific areas located on the shirt. Creepy…

Imation has always been at the forefront of things where storage medium is concerned, and their latest release is yet another first (and possibly another feather in the company’s cap) – the Pro WX wireless USB hard drive. Based on Imation’s platform of external hard drives, the Imation Pro WX drive – despite not being tethered to your computer, will still be able to offer the convenience of fast data transfer rates, speed and capacity required in today’s graphics and data intensive environments, maxing out at 1.5TB of storage space. Great news for everyone, but we can’t wait for the next generation device already which should be in the works to go along with the USB 3.0 when it rolls out.
Lexar continues its march in the world of storage space where memory cards are concerned, and this time round they will target hardcore gamers or just casual gamers who are looking for a reliable data storage solution of all their important gaming data. After all, wouldn’t it be a real damper to find out that the hundreds of hours you’ve spent investing in playing an RPG to bring your party up to near deity-like powers disappear in a puff of smoke just because the game data stored on a particular memory card is corrupted due to a hardware defect? Lexar hopes to prevent that heartache from happening to you with their new gaming-centric Memory Stick Micro and SDHC memory cards.
Today I will conclude the Motorola trilogy with the i290, or Moto. I began with the i465 Clutch and the i9 Stature, and I had some nice things to say about those phones.
Sadly, I do not have anything to say about the i290. Of course, my mother always used to say that “if you can’t say anything nice, don’t say anything”. Well, I’m am going to say anything, because even though the i290 isn’t a good phone, it isn’t a bad one. That would make it…a normal candybar cell phone, which is what it is.
Yes, this is a phone that allows you to call people and make text messages. Yes, there are many other phones like it, and if you can afford one that does this and other things, then yes, you should buy one. As it is, this phone has no camera, very little features, except that of push-to-talk and Java capability.
