For those of you that have to show off your music loving nature in everything you do, now you can even show it off in your tool box. Instead of whipping out some tape measure with little to no personality, you can pull out what appears to be just an ordinary cassette tape. That also means you can show your love of those good old mixed tapes that are no longer needed.
Those who are wine connoisseurs and those who just drink wine every so often have one problem in common: the struggle of opening the bottles. Sure, you could use a corkscrew, but I have had instances where the corkscrew gets stuck, or worse, goes down the side of the cork instead of the center. Good luck trying to get the cork out then. Since technology is supposed to make our lives easier, perhaps it was time that someone invented an electrical wine opener. For some reason, I am not surprised that it is Sharper Image to the rescue.
The Recharageable Wine Opener come with a foil cutter that allows the user to press the top of the bottle, and then spin it for a perfect cut off the top. From there, he or she just places the Rechargeable Wine Opener on the cork, pushes the button, and the automated corkscrew drills right in. There is a video after the jump if you want to see it in action.
It’s becoming more and more difficult for artists to sell physical CDs. Not only just because of pirated copies, but because of iTunes as well. Well AC/DC is trying anyway and with the box set that they’ve put together, they might actually succeed. At least they’re bound to appeal to the amateur guitar players out there. Instead of merely releasing a set of their finest CDs, they’re including an actual working guitar amp.
Roofies, specially engineered drug cocktails placed in drinks that contribute to drug rape, are a serious problem. The Roofie Foundation, an agency specifically set up to help victims of drug rape, received 1,200 calls from victims in the past two years.
I think we are all aware of date rape drugs such as GHB and Ketamine, and a cosmetic company called 2 Love My Lips is fighting back.
This Liverpool-based company is marketing their lip gloss with a drug testing kit for “party girls who want to play hard and feel safe”. The drug-testing kit includes a pink taper that has been treated to detect the common date rape drugs like litmus paper tests acids. If a woman finds that her drink tastes odd, then she can dab her finger into a drink and rub each end of the taper. If the taper turns blue, then the drink has been tampered with. She can then call her friends or security for help.
I’ve not really into using emoticons on my Instant Messages, but I know people who can’t live without them. I’m sure that you know the type, who can’t complete a sentence without making it incomplete with a smiley face or a smile and wink.
This T-Shirt is for those who just want to let their emotions show. It requires four AAA batteries in order to work, and it even has a glow in the dark/UV reactive screen print for extra illumination. See some of the emotions that you can show after the jump.
I was pleased that 3M sent me their latest pocket projector, the MPro 120, and I was more than happy to give it a hands-on review. (By the way, that isn’t my hand in the photo, but an image included in the Press Release.) Since this is my first time with a pocket-projector, you might notice that I am a little excited about it.
The MPro 120 works with surprising ease on my laptop computer. All I had to do was plug it into the wall to recharge the battery, and two hours later, it is good for about two to four hours worth of projection time. Then I plugged it into my laptop, and set it up as a secondary monitor.
From there, I was able to get an image as wide as 50 inches, and it looked very clear on a blank wall in the dark. The MPro120 came with a tripod for theater-like setup, and I was able to watch some shows from Hulu as if they were movies on the big screen. That really helped bring the FlashForward show to life.
If you have a love of expensive technology, but are a parent of young children, the two combined can sometimes cause major issues. After all, kids are clumsy and then on top of it, they do like to throw things. Yes, you can usually get the throwing to stop at some point. However, when it happens around your expensive TV, you just have to hold your breath and pray. Pray that the object flying through the air doesn’t harm the fancy TV you just invested in. Well to give you more of a piece of mind, you can now pick up something to protect that TV.
