The Spy Tie

May 24th, 2007 by Al in Spy Stuff

Spy Tie

Spy cameras seem to be all over the place at the moment, yesterday we reported on the spy in the sky and in the past we’ve had cameras concealed in teddies, the really cool remote control car (with infra-red spy cam) and a slew of other spy cameras. The next camera to add to your covert office surveillance is the tie cam, a video camera concealed in a regular looking tie.

An extremely high resolution, 450Tvl, CCD pinhole camera discreetly hidden in a tie – virtually impossible to detect with the naked eye- and a miniature digital video recorder, small enough to fit into a cigarette pack, to record extremely high quality colour video and sound.

This little 007 gadget will set you back to the tune of $1,355 (£645.99) from Spy Catcher Online, a somewhat expensive way to prove who is office slacker when it comes to filling the coffee machine.

Show the world what mood you are in

May 24th, 2007 by David in Gadget Gift Ideas, Wacky Gadgets

These days it is so hard to predict the mood of somebody, even if it is someone who you have know for sometime, you never really know what is going on inside. However there is a neat little product that will tell everyone in the world what mood somebody is in, just imagine all the hassle that something like would prevent, silly arguments and moods would be a thing of the past, how blissful.

GlowFur – fashion faux pas or new trend?

May 24th, 2007 by Edwin in Electronic Gadgets, Wacky Gadgets

glowfur.jpgI don’t know about you, but having a line of clothes that glow in the dark isn’t exactly a turn on (pardon the pun) for me. In fact, it will probably remind me of those Apple advertisements that feature a silhouette of a person (mostly female), complete with just glowing bits of underwear. However, there are some folks out there who like living life with a little extra sense of urgency to it, and this is where the GlowFur line of items come in. Do check out the promo video here, but be warned that the content could be considered mildly NSFW in certain places.

Sony PSP jumps onto VoIP bandwagon

May 24th, 2007 by Edwin in Electronic Gadgets, Gaming Gadgets

psp-celly.jpg

While the PSP has slowly but surely blossomed into a pretty decent machine (let’s get the facts straight here, while it is an extremely capable device, somehow shoddy marketing and PR gone awry did not add to the device’s desirability, not to mention a lack of decent games until recently with Metal Gear Solid: Portable Ops and Monster Hunter Portable 2nd), the built-in WiFi capability has not been taken advantage of fully just yet. How many of you actually use your PSP to surf the Web anyway? Fret not, those living in the U.K. will be pleased to know that telco operator BT has already developed some software for the PSP which enables Sony’s handheld to hold conversations with other PSP owners and BT phones within the Y.K. via VoIP, with plans for PC compatibility in the future as well.

Convenient sailing with collapsible catamaran

May 23rd, 2007 by James in Miscellaneous Gadgets, Sport, Vehicle Gadgets

MiniCat

As the Americas cup currently being contested on the high seas off the coast of Spain, the image of sailing has always been that it’s the domain of the well to do, a sport of kings. Most sailors, however, are average joes who ply the waters in smaller sailboats and skiffs.

But until recently, the investment in a sailboat, monthly slip rental and fees, and time to maintain a boat made sailing prohibitive to all but those who make the sport of sailing a way of life. Not anymore. From a company in Great Britain comes a small, 2-person catamaran called the MiniCat.

How Your Cursor Works

May 23rd, 2007 by methodshop in Tech News

Ever wonder how your mouse connects to the cursor and moves it around your screen? Believe it or not, I found a website that explains this technical process clearly thanks to a giant digital magnifying glass.

Go to this website 1-click.jp (we’ve had a report of spyware on that site so visit at your own risk) and then move your cursor around.

Who knew?
