HTC Desire could be your next superphone
Unless you have been living under a rock all this while, you would have known about the Google Nexus One smartphone that is touted to be a “superphone” by Google, as it squares up against the almighty Apple iPhone which has a worldwide legion of rabid fans, ready to come to its defense any day. Well, the Google Nexus One also has a different moniker, where it is known as the HTC Desire – previously known as the Bravo. Guess all of the hardware specification will more or less remain the same as the Nexus One, as this model will retain more than a handful of quality features to keep you hooked to it. More on the HTC Desire will be explained right after the jump.

Twist Alarm Clock needs you to use your brains
Do you happen to have plenty of trouble trying to get out of bed every morning? Well, this is where the Twist Alarm Clock comes in handy – it will only shut up once you managed to solve the relatively simple math problem displayed on the screen. There are two displays and an equal number of rotatable parts which will work in tandem to present you with a math problem each morning, where you will need to provide the right answer before it keeps quiet. Talk about being forced to use your brains the moment you open your eyes! It is currently available in Japan only for $30 after conversion, although we’re pretty sure that you can import this puppy if you want something totally rad for the bedroom.

Mood Swing Lip Gloss
We’ve seen the phenomenon known as Mood Rings back in our younger days, but what about the Mood Swing Lip Gloss? This is one lip gloss that men won’t mind buying for their other halves – after all, I am sure that many of us have suffered the wrath of a sudden mood change in women, where we are deemed to be insensitive boorish neanderthals for not knowing how they feel like. Thanks to the Mood Swing Lip Gloss, it comes with a color chart that lets you predict what your woman is feeling right now, giving you at least a fighting chance to not get stepped all over verbally (and in some cases, physically). It has a color range that changes from clear to deep crimson.

JVC has new Everio camera ready to rock and roll
JVC of Japan is back with a spanking new Everio camera which will go one up on all of its other rivals – why do we say so? Well, it comes with integrated Bluetooth wireless technology that allows it to “talk” to other similarly equipped wireless devices. Of course, let us not get sidetracked by this and focus on what the Everio GZ-HM550 can do as a camcorder first before moving on to see the capabilities of Bluetooth connectivity. The Everio GZ-HM550 will sport a 10.6 megapixel CMOS sensor for recording high quality Full HD video and nine megapixel digital stills, and 32GB of internal flash memory which can be further expanded thanks to an SD/SDHC memory card slot.

Casio unveils Pathfinder PAG110C-3 timepiece
Casio has been in the timepiece business for quite a fair number of years already, and most of us would have fond memories of a digital watch from Casio, although these days it seems to be imported from China instead of its spiritual home, Japan. Ah well, their range of G-Shock watches are also a cause to celebrate, since those are some tough devices which can withstand the rigors of an active lifestyle. This time round, Casio America takes the next step forward in the world of watches with its latest addition to the Pathfinder collection, otherwise known as the PAG110C-3. This new Pathfinder will definitely appeal to those who constantly brave the great outdoors, but it also has a conscience since it is eco-conscious with features such as solar technology and recycled packaging.

Cloaks of Invisiblity are now a reality
Okay, before you get too excited about getting some magic invisibility cloak like Harry Potter, you should know that so far, this technology has only made one thing invisible: a bump on a gold bar.
Yes, it is a bump that is only 0.00004 inches high and 0.0005 inch across, which you probably wouldn’t see in the first place, as it can only be seen with a magnifying glass.
Still, it is a start, and these researchers at Germany’s Karlsruhe Institute of Technology was able to cloak this tiny bump, could prevent its detection at nearly visible infrared frequencies. I’m not talking about camouflage, but the cloaking effect was visible in 3D from all angles.
