Chris Cohen: About Gadgets
Hilarious and witty.
Hilarious and witty.
If you’re a computer geek, code monkey, techie, and everything along in those lines where you live and breath computers. What is the best birthday cake you can ask for? A motherboard cake, of course!
Rolos for the win, this cake is 1337!
The Vaticans have actively taken part in bringing a greener life to their brothers by installing Solar Roof Panels on their rooftops. The celibate-hood spent approximately 1.5million dollars to install 2400 panels. I wonder where they got their money from?
I guess they weren’t kidding when they said the Vaticans are some of the richest organizations in the world! But kudos on the effort, I suppose 1.5million is well spent if some study had said that the Vatican establishment creates the most pollution in the EU.
Say hello to the top that won’t stop….or until the battery runs out in 8 hours. It’s a nice ornamental toy for your desk especially if you work on your desk 1/3 of your day away.
This shiny toy goes for only GBP9.99 :)
Features

* When spinning the top emits a fancy light display that’s different every time.
* Colours may vary.
* Suitable for ages 3 years+.
* Requires 2 x CR2032 batteries (included plus spares).
* Size: 8 x 5 cm.
Do Japanese buses have no buzzers?
You need have your own because it’s too hard to reach 30cm to push a button? Unnecessary gadget, I think.
Lightmate is lights and a bolster in one. But take a look at the picture and tell me what you think about LightMate. Doesn’t it look like that creature from Aliens 1? The first alien that pop right out of the victim in the operating room of their aircraft? Yeah? Except this is 10 times larger and it’s draped around you neck…eek.
According to Francesca Lanzavecchia, the designer of Lightmate, she said, “LightMates are soft anthropomorphic pillows and warming lamps. Their different sizes answer to everyone’s need of heat; a mate to hug or a huge companion you can lay on.”
Anthropomorphic is defined as “suggesting human characteristics for animals or inanimate things”. Okay so, the pillow is suppose to feel human characteristics….the only human characteristics it reminds me of is my large colon.
Okay folks, this might be the future of all magazine covers. I for one, subscribe to the idea of e-ink simple because it’s greener. Ads can go on the e-ink page instead of having a page of it’s own, thus less trees will be torn down. :)
Check out Esquire’s front page:
Not exactly wow-able but it’s getting there for sure. Now, I heard some people think it’s dumb, but what’s dumber than cutting down trees for ad content? Esquire is out on newsstands in NY and everywhere that carries it. You people from Japan might wanna ask a friend from the US to get it for you. :D
When I was in school, I didn’t need all these fancy gadgets. Kids these days are so spoiled with cellphones, laptops, MP3 players and what not. Parents, why would you buy your kids all these gadgets if it, really, truly, honestly ONLY serve to distract them from their subjects? I never had a cellphone till I was 19 and I never even had my own laptop till I was away to university. I made do with a desktop and it works just fine.
Seriously, an MP3 player? Do you think your kid would be paying attention in class listening to Paris Hilton? Come onnn…..
All you need to back to school supplies are BOOKS, REVISION BOOKS, and stationary. None of all this mumbo jumbo stuff. And if they whine, I only have this to say….”Spare the rod, spoil the child”!!!
MUahahahahah….

This is where you can have the sky and space in your living room. Of course, no one really will buy one unless they are bars, hotels, science centers and what not. The Homestar Extra will only be sold in Japan and will be out in December only. It is estimated to cost roughly between $700-800 each.
SIMable is a thin chip you can use to trick your phone into thinking that it’s been unlocked so that simcards from other countries and other carriers are readable on your phone. I think this is especially useful if you want to unlock your phone because you need to go to a different country or travel a lot or whatever. Actually, you might as well just get an unlocked phone if that’s the case but sometimes we all make mistakes, and our judgment can get clouded by beauty that we forget function (aka like waiting day and night under the rain to buy an iPhone 3G that doesn’t work as well).
Anyway SIMable is here to save you :)
