5/9/2008 8:26:46 AM : permalink NES Controller Coffee Table Isn't this the coolest coffee table ever - granted, it won't be able to do what Microsoft's Surface can, but Kyle Downes has poured in a whole lot of sweat and tears into this NES Controller Coffee Table, complete with a high quality finish and glass top that oozes with class. What makes this coffee table all the more fantastic is the fact that it works - as long as it is hooked up to a working NES console. Amazing, isn't it? Makes me feel as though I'm in Wonderland where everything else has been super-sized. I forsee a niche market for this - bring it on with other console-themed tables!

5/9/2008 8:17:27 AM : permalink Newman M8000 sports Gigantic Storage Space The Newman M8000 looks pretty decent at first glance, but wait till you hear that it comes with a 250GB hard drive inside! That's a whole lot of space to carry all your entertainment files, and chances are it will be a long time before you exhaust the amount of space inside. Of course, if you're on a tight budget, there are always different capacities to choose from such as the 80GB, 120GB, and 160GB models. I wonder if any enterprising person will purchase the 80GB M8000 and dissect it, replacing it with a 250GB or even 320GB hard drive instead. Features of the Newman M8000 include :-

Women treasure whatever they have inside their handbags, so it makes sense to be able to track it down should the unfortunate happen. LightsBags helps you in this case with their GPS-enabled purses, allowing you to track it down and let the long arm of the law (which is considerably shorter by the day it seems) handle matters from there to recover your purse. The GPS cannot be disabled by the thief, which is definitely a good thing. Bags will retail for $30 upwards. Sadly, I think the thief is more interested in its contents so the handbag will probably end up in a dollar store instead.

With this, a comprehensive training system is a must, and Fujitsu certainly does its part this time round by working with video game and simulator developer Ongakukan to develop the first train simulation system using full high-definition video in the world. You get variable-speed playback technology for high-definition video shot on actual train lines, offering an unprecedented level of realism where train operation simulation is concerned. There won't be any lag since accurate responses to the trainee-operator's input and high image quality is possible despite variable-speed playback. There is a second chance here unlike real life, and it is reassuring to know that the training provided is the best to date in Japan.
Permalink | Comment | Uberbargain | Uberphones 5/9/2008 8:17:26 AM : permalink Recorder Mini for Notebooks Narae Inter in Korea has recently introduced its high-performance microphone known as the Recorder Mini. It is extremely tiny, but not as small as those Bluetooth USB dongles which have recently been seen in the market. You connect the Recorder Mini to your PC or notebook's microphone port in order to record conversations held in the office, at least those within a 10 meter radius. Most folks will probably mistake this for some sort of other USB device without looking where it is plugged into properly, so it definitely wins points for being discreet. No idea on how much it costs though.

Say, that could be my ticket to a million dollars! Features of the USB Washing Machine Alarm Clock include :-
Permalink | Comment | Uberbargain | Uberphones 5/9/2008 8:17:26 AM : permalink Engineer believes in Plasma-powered Vehicle Never mind that we're running out of gas soon - a patent application from University of Florida aerospace engineer Subrata Roy lays claim that a micro air vehicle in the future could be propelled by plasma. So far, passing a current or magnetic field through a conducting fluid generates a force, but attempts at exploiting this for use in a moving aircraft has yielded nothing but failure after failure. Mr. Roy is working hard to ensure that the magnetohydrodynamics phenomenon will be able to work on an aircraft, albeit the fact that his invention has a wingspan of less than 15cm and looks more like a flying saucer than your typical jumbo jet. Would be cool if he could extrapolate his findings to accommodate cars, lorries, trucks and planes, then the whole world need not go to war for oil.
Permalink | Comment | Uberbargain | Uberphones 5/9/2008 8:17:26 AM : permalink Portable HD Xbox Idea Fancy a portable Xbox? I'm sure many people have thought about it before, and it will really see Microsoft, Nintendo and Sony slug it out both in the living room as well as on the portable front. How would you like the portable Xbox to look like? There are several major pitfalls for the big M to look out for, and one of them would be the lack of connectivity. Microsoft's Xbox Live is one of the biggest attractions to date, and has not seen any serious competition from either Sony or Nintendo, so that will be quite a problem unless WiMAX is rolled out extensively. Also, disc changing on the go just isn't viable, so Microsoft will have to think of a way to circumvent this. Should one be able to engage in online multiplayer, there is also the issue of lag to deal with - will there be a good enough coding like Quakeworld to compensate for latency found using 56k modems? As for the number of games available, I wonder whether Microsoft has it in them to court developers over to their side in such an unchartered territory.
