Spy Backpack Porta2030
A while ago, we reported on some Spy Camera Glasses, a device which could take some cool pictures on the go, despite its obvious lens. In keeping with this tradition of semi-concealed cameras, we would like to present the Porta2030, a spy backpack.
At first I thought the purpose of the Porta2030 was to take pictures, then download them later like any normal camera. However, the Porta2030 is actually capable of so much more as it can stream images to a website.
In other words, if the bad guys catch you taking pictures of their secret base, they can’t eliminate the evidence by simply killing the camera. By the time they can get their mitts on the secret camera, the pictures are already out on the net, hopefully receiving many hits.
A mobile data-sensing storage system makes this feature possible, and the Porta2030 also features an open source system, a 1GB flash card, a webcam, as well as an LCD mini-terminal.

2D Girlfriend
For some reason, I can’t help but think of some very bad science fiction movie when I see this photo. It would be a movie that takes place in a dark future where girlfriends are all but scarce, a world known as Geeklife.
This 2D Girlfriend project, created by Drew Burrows, is called INBED. Somehow I think the name is more of a description than an acronym. INBED works by having a projector on the ceiling beam an image of a lady down in that empty space on a double bed.
What makes the INBED impressive is that it has infrared sensors that can detect the position of the live person in bed, and adjust the virtual person accordingly. In other words, the virtual girlfriend will adjust her position to snuggle with you, spoon with you if you lay on your side, and even react to kisses by burying her face in a pillow.

Minigigi oneQ Premium Season2 MP3 player
With a name like oneQ Premium Season2 MP3 player from Minigigi, it makes me wonder whether there is a season one model to begin with. This Korea-bound MP3 player is pretty ordinary by all aspects (save for its name), offering 10 hours of playback time, 3D surround sound courtesy of SRS WOW technology, and 2GB of storage space. You will be able to choose from black, white, pink and blue colors that will definitely lift up your mood with its cheery, glossy shade no matter how bad a day you have had at the office. No idea on whether this $40 MP3 player will make its way outside of Korea, but I wouldn’t miss it if it didn’t.

Play movies from your 2.5-inch drive with this media dock
I love having all of my music and video files stored away on my computer, rather than messing with discs and such. When you have the file on a hard drive, you can copy it, move it and play it whenever you want without much hassle. Of course it isn’t always the easiest of tasks to get your video files to play on your TV without a computer sitting right next to it. This is why Digital Cowboy created this HDD Media Player Kit.

Intellipanel Desktop Computer
Want to do your part in keeping the earth green by lowering your power consumption? You can do so without purchasing a Toyota Prius, thanks to the Intellipanel Desktop Computer which offers you the convenience of standby mode without wasting a single iota of electricity.
Plug your PC into the black shaded socket of the 8-way intelligent mains panel and up to seven other peripherals in the remaining sockets. When you turn your PC on or off the built-in auto calibration system automatically sends power to or cuts power to the additional outlets, saving energy and money. Easy! This energy-efficient one click intelligent mains panel even comes fully equipped with a power surge protector, which can wreck an entire system and prove very costly, as well as two sockets with extra space for bulky transformers and points for a modem, telephone and broadband.
Apparently the £29.95 asking price will pay for itself many times over throughout its lifetime, which makes it a pretty good bargain by any means.
An Autonomous Golf Caddy That Follows You From Hole To Hole
As men lumber through their elderly years, often times the game of golf becomes a welcomed getaway into nature. A place to go for sanctuary, away from the nagging wife, and away from money gobbling kids. By the time men reach the “average” golfing age, they have either lost a considerable amount of muscle strength, yet are still too full of pride to pay a caddy to lug around their clubs, or just don’t want to miss out on the beautiful landscape as they trudge across their country club’s course.
The three-wheeled Shadow Caddy is a fully autonomous set of wheels for the golf course. While you place your golf bag in the cart of the Shadow Caddy, the device loyally follows you around the green, without the need of a tip at every hole.
