This video is really useful, especially if you’re a practical joker. What’s better than shocking random people who are so kind as to take pictures for you? “1, 2, 3…zzzzzzzAAAPPPpppp!!! yEeeeeeeoowww u muth-aaaaoooowww!!”.
Yeah. This one would take the cake. Better than lighting a bag of sh*t on fire and leaving it in front of your neighbor’s door and watching him stomp the fire out with his shoe. Only to find that he has be stepping on crapola and it’s gotten everywhere.
Going camping this summer? Forget the matchsticks, they break anyway. Or worse gets damp and won’t light up leaving you in darkness in the company of bears. Say hello to the Swedish Firesteel. This fire starting steel generates 3,000 C degrees of spark temperature, which makes building fire easy anywhere and at any altitude. Good news is, it even works when it’s wet.
All you need to do is move the metal blade gently on the firesteel and watch sparks fly. Works great on BBQ’s too.
Features:
* Lights campfires, stoves, gas-barbecues
* Uses a magnesium alloy that consists of 7 metals
* Lasts for approximately 12,000 strikes
* Produces a spark temperature close to 3,000°C (5,500°F)
* Bright spark – can be used as emergency signal
* Functions in rain and snow
* Dimensions: main component is approx. 3.75″ long
* Weight: approx. 1.9 ounces
* Also available: MayaDust - a fire starting material made from Pino de Ocote, a fatwood pine cultivated in the highlands of Guatemala and Mexico. With an 80% resin content, MayaDust is easy to light even when wet and produces an extremely hot flame.
If you didn’t tell me what it is, I would have thought it was a naughty toy for adults. Look at the KissPhone:
Tell me if it doesn’t remind you of a the Adult Fleshlight. Do not click onto the link, it is NSFW*. But it’s explicit design aside, the KissPhone by ProInvention is like a fax for kisses. Kiss on the mouth of the phone like literally, and your kiss’ speed, pressure, temperature and “sucking force” of your lips will be delivered to your partner with the same KissPhone set.
Hm…it is a dumb invention but then again, a sucka is born every second they say. This gadget is apparently “hot stuff” in Japan right now. Sigh.
This seems like a practical thing to have for your house to boost security.
But let’s go to the pros first. Since fingerprints are considerably unique (less than 2% chance that anyone shares the same fingerprints), you’re pretty sure you’re gonna be the ONLY one (and those you allow) who can enter your home - no more fumbling for keys and grimacing at the thought that someone is gonna sneak up behind you for a fondle. And the Biometric Fingerprint Lock shuts itself tight as soon as you close your door so you don’t have to worry on your way to work if you’ve locked your door. Aesthetically, it’s pretty futuristic looks is a plus for those who wants to have a cooler looking lock than the rest of the neighborhood. AND it’s only $199, which is a very, very, very reasonably price considering how expensive gadgets like these were a few years back.
Now the con’s. The Biometric Fingerprint Lock has enough memory to carry 120 fingerprints. Now, unless it’s for an office building/space, who in the world has that many friends/family at the same time? Unless you count the milkman and the newspaper boy as ‘friends’ and maybe your neighbor or whatever. Even if you have a large family, why would you want your grand aunt from Ireland to have access into your abode? Which brings me to my next point, what if someone infiltrated your circle of incredibly large close friends/family by chopping off their fingers and using it to enter your home?!?! That’s something to think about, you OCDs. :P Also, con no. 3, what if you had a freak accident at Starbucks where you accidentally touched the coffee heater with your fingers and it mars your fingerprints so bad that you’ll NEVER gain entry into your own home again!
Okay, I’m just messing around. There isn’t really a con except for one. Honestly. The Biometric Fingerprint Lock uses two AA batteries. WHAT IF THE BATTERIES RUN OUT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT AND ALL THE STORES ARE CLOSED AND IT’S RAINING CATS AND DOGS? Now that’s something to *really* think about. Stock up on the AA batteries and this point would be moot. :)
I would get one here regardless, the thought of being fondled while fumbling for my keys is just too much to bear.
This is interesting. I am was wondering how one uses it till I came across this video. I must say it would save a lot of space and a whole lot of pain from carpal tunnel if you’re not careful. Imagine playing warcraft with this baby.
Only if YOU are not the owner of the Ironkey that is. Say hello to the world’s impenetrable thumb drive for that important project you don’t want your colleague’s grubby hands on. The best part is if they do try to take the info inside with their grubby hands, your thumb drive will self destruct in all its 4 gig glory.
Passwords can be hacked, but not the IronKey. It’s built to withstand attacks both virtual and physical. 10 incorrect password attempts, and the encryption chip self-destructs, making the contents of the flash drive totally unreadable. The contents of the drive are filled with epoxy, so if a hacker tries to physically access the chips, he’d more likely damage them instead. Even if he did get access to the memory chips, they’d be worthless without the encryption chip. Electron-shielded, even a scanning electron microscope can’t get inside.
You know how some furnitures are called Hide-a-Bed, and it’s actually a sofabed that transform into a highly uncomfortable bed with metal bars than breaks your back? How about a Hide-a-television?
watching this makes me want to have one in my bedroom so I don’t hog the living room sofa.
