What can you make out of 2 ping pong balls, a glue gun, 2 LED lights and a nail? A DIY hand gesture interface for Google Earth, obviously.
Atlas gloves are very easy to make (full instructions here) and with the help of a little free application you can navigate the globe by simple hand gestures. You’ve got to watch the video to appreciate how these things work, very strange.
Hat tip to Case for the link (via our gadget forums).
After severe critiques by almost every tech related blog on the net about the new “privacy” internet browser called Browzar, the software has been updated with a couple a unique interesting change.
One of the most criticized points, the search engine that provided sponsored results (without making it very visible) on the first 2 or 3 pages has been transformed into something else. Now it uses the Ask.com engine, there are still sponsored links (which is normal in search engines) but now they are more visible – contain the word Sponsored Results under a light-blue background. These kind of links are usually visible on top of the first normal results only, but Browzar takes one step forward and includes them on the bottom of every page too.

Have you heard about the new celebrity diet craze? It’s easy. No dieting or exercise is required. Just a few Adobe Photoshop lessons and you can lose 20 pounds in the matter of minutes… like new CBS Evening News anchor Katie Couric.
Evidence of Katie’s new “digital diet” was published in a CBS publicity magazine called Watch, and distributed on American Airlines flights. The former NBC Today star’s neck and waistline have clearly been digitally “photoshopped” to make her look about 20 pounds lighter. The original photo was taken at an advertiser presentation earlier this spring before getting a digital workout in CBS’ graphics department.
Is CBS photoshopping more than publicity photos of news anchors? We hope not. Why not let a photo speak for itself?
It’s September 6th and I’ve just received my first Christmas press release, now that’s what I call planning ahead.
Our friends over at Brando have just started selling a singing and dancing USB Santa, the video of it actually looks surprisingly cool (for a wacky Christmas gadget). They’ve also released a USB Christmas tree which has various optics and light patterns (no where near as cool as the dancing Santa).
If you fancy getting ahead of the festive game (by 3 months) the USB Dancing Santa Claus costs $17 and the USB Christmas tree costs $16.
Browzar was announced a few days ago as a new internet browser with the slogan - Your private window on the Web. There was a lot of hype on different big and important websites (Register, BBC and others) because this new piece of shit software was suppose to offer plenty of benefits such as no installation required, browsing history, stored files and cookies were not saved to protect the users privacy, being freeware and only occupying 246k of space were the other bonus offers.
Well, it didn’t take long for everyone on the internet (besides the previous mainstream sites) to notice that Browzar is nothing but a program with adware and doesn’t have the announced features. It is considered adware/bullshit program by many people. Read the rest of this entry »
Laptops are all well and good but if you’ve ever tried using one on your lap or when lying down you’ll know how fiddly they can be. The multi-jointed laptop table is designed with this in mind and by having 3 rotating joints in each leg the table can be used in a multitude of ways:
Found on thanko (Japanese).
Being someone that has spent far to much money on those new longer range routers, special antennas, and those range extenders, the Hawking Hi-Gain USB Wireless-G Dish Adapter looks pretty appealing.
It looks like a mini satellite dish, and it pretty much is. The adapter is equipped with an 8dBi directional antenna; most routers come with a 2dBi antenna. That translates into a range increase of up to 300%, but I expect the actual numbers are a bit lower.

Are you wondering whether your kids, when left to their own devices at home, are spending too much time on the Azeroth server in the World of Warcraft instead of hitting the books so that they will do better in life than their old man? Fret no longer with the WebGuard Programmable Internet Timer. This nifty device connects to either dial-up (who uses that anymore these days) or a DSL modem, where it then keeps track of how much Internet time has been used, shutting off the connection when the limit has been hit. You can set different kinds of limits for both weekdays and weekends. Definitely a must-buy for parents who do not have anyone at home to supervise their children while they are at work.
