Yet another in-vehicle gizmo for enhanced safety

by Edwin - on June 26, 2008

Now the Interior Rear View Mirror and Flashing Auto Warning Light is definitely a mouthful, but this China-sourced invention aims to bring up road safety by another notch.

Pai Lung Interior Rear View Mirror is light-weight with a compact size, it is easy to attach to the inner side of the car door and efficiently helps passengers or drivers observe traffic approaching from behind. Moreover, its Flashing Auto Warning Light has a great indicator function; its bright light is able to get special attention from other car drivers, which ensures the highest security on the road.

There is no word on pricing though, but with the company Pai Lung having achieved worldwide patent rights including U.S.A., Japan, EU and Taiwan, this should be able to be available in due time.

Pandigital Kitchen Technology Center

by Mark R - on June 26, 2008

You may remember about a week ago when we covered a story about the miBook, a PDA that was an instruction book with digital video capabilities. One of the most practical uses for the miBook is for cooking, but this Pandigital Kitchen Technology Center (KTC) is designed specifically for the kitchen.

The KTC has a 15 inch (1280 x 720) touchscreen that allows the user to access recipes at one touch. The KTC comes loaded with several recipes pre-programmed in the unit itself. If you want to get even more experimental in the culinary arts, use the device to get on the net and find more recipes.

It has about 1 GB worth of memory, which is enough for several MP3s. Not only is it capable of playing music, but it will do pictures, videos, and it will even support HDTV playback. Now you can entertain yourself as you cook.

StarWars USB Ports

by Mark R - on June 26, 2008

We have seen much Star Wars merchandise in the last three decades, some of it was cheaply made, and some has passed the test of time. So why not make Star Wars USB hubs?

Before you say “to get George Lucas more money”, let me tell you more about these particular Star Wars products. Not only will they give you some extra USB ports and give authentic Star Wars décor to your desk, but the R2D2 and Darth Vader models also come with some special features.

Strapya offers sweet treats to adorn your cellphone

by Ally - on June 26, 2008

If you have a bit of a sweet tooth, then these cute little straps for your cellphone are just the way to keep you thinking about your favorite treats. Then again if you’ve recently decided to pick up a diet then carrying one of these around would be slow and unending torture. However, if you don’t mind that part this would be a nice way to dress up your plain electronics. Even if you don’t want it on your cellphone you could toss it onto a keychain instead.

Cassette Tape Lamp from Transparent House

by Ally - on June 26, 2008

If I hadn’t seen the product name I’d have never guessed what this lamp is made out of.  It just looks like a contemporary lamp you’d see in any modern home.  However, it has a bit of geek appeal by it being made out of old clear cassette tapes.  Granted I doubt that your old beat up cassette tapes that were played a hundred times each would look that great for this project, but it is a cool idea.  Especially if you still have a pack or two of blank tapes from the days of trying to catch a certain song on the radio and recording it.

Retro Duo NES and SNES Emulator: Best Of Both Worlds

by AndrewD - on June 25, 2008

As an avid retro Nintendo system gamer, I have to say, this is one of the coolest gadgets I’ve had the pleasure to be introduced too. Sadly, it’s been years since I whipped out my old Nintendo systems to take a whirl at Super Mario or Duck Hunt. Hell, even a good game of Paperboy would do the trick. It’s just been too long. My old systems are too dust covered for me to want to put in the effort.

The Retro Duo Emulator combines the two prototypical gaming systems from my childhood, NES and SNES, into one magnificent, albeit ugly, gadget. So the Retro Duo isn’t the prettiest device on the block. Who cares? I’m not going to be staring at the system design as I hop along Goombas, collecting mushrooms and hoarding coins.

Logitech Finally Gives In, Launches Mac-Only Webcam

by AndrewD - on June 25, 2008

After years of ignoring the existence of Apple’s Mac OS X, Logitech has finally given in to the demand. Assuming there is a demand there. Sure, modern Macs come with embedded webcams built right into the system, but you have to figure there are plenty of people who want a more feature rich alternative than the good old Photo Booth.

So great, Logitech has announced their new QuickCam Vision Pro for Mac systems. The first Logitech cam which works with the OS. But what can this new camera provide that our Macs don’t already offer us? Let’s take a look at the features and specs.

A Retro Clock With An Atomic Twist

by AndrewD - on June 25, 2008

Those of you who have a retro design theme in your home probably had no problem scoping out a retro-looking clock. But what you might have a problem finding is a retro-looking clock which has completely accurate atomic time. Look no further, my friends. CG to the rescue!

Twemco has over 30 years experience designing these retro analog flip clocks, but they’ve just added a new twist to their collection. The new clock models feature radio frequency atomic time, so your clock is always accurate down to the second, even if your design-theme is intentionally a few decades too late.
