Toshiba Elevator and Building Systems Corp announced the installation of the world’s fastest passenger elevator just exactly where it is needed - in Taipei 101, the world’s tallest building. The elevator runs at a top speed of 1,010 meters per minute when ascending (600 meters per minute on the way down), which works out ot 60.6 kilometers per hour.
Crumbs. Vacuum cleaners are for keeping your carpets nice and fresh, not for making sweet, sweet love to. At least, that’s what I always thought. LoveHoney have other ideas though.
Seeing as the Zune was such a hit, Microsoft decided to repeat the success and tackle the iPhone before it even gets out the gate; friends, we give you the Microsoft oFone. Not to be outdone by Apple’s multi-touch keyless interface, the oFone features not one or two, but three keyboards that can all pivot about the small central screen. Need to bag some wild game for dinner? No worries, oFone can do that too, simply extend the three arms (like in the pic above) and it apparently makes a decent boomerang. We’re loving where they’re going with this idea — cool and unusable, just how we like our fake phones. Check the vid after the break.
Gone are the days when we used to relentlessly jab at the buttons on our game controllers to make sure Super Marion face no harm. This is 2007, and we are getting more realistic and building up whacked up simulations. So, to keep up with the times we have a Remote Controlled Mario Motor Kart Racer.
Just as the flick, 40 Year Old Virgin poked your sides with its humor; we have the doll that comes as the souvenir for those who appreciated the wittiness and clever dialogs of the movie. The doll looks pretty cool with chest hair and a good real-life color tone. And yes, the shorts totally rock.
If you are a geek then you probably have at least one rat’s nest of cables somewhere in your house or office. Shoved behind your desk or sofa, you know it’s there collecting dust bunnies and who knows what else. With all the electronic gadgets and gizmos that we tend to buy it’s pretty much unavoidable. Luckily, there is a new way to organize and hide the tangle of all those cords and cables. Cable Capture provides a simple, elegant and inexpensive solution to the problem. Excess cord lengths are neatly contained and kept safely out of the way.
The dream of having a Moghul garden is only enjoyed by those owning Palatial Resorts in India or Humungous Meditation Centers in China. Vast ponds of cool water reflecting the palace lights in the warm dark nights are not everyone’s privilege.
You can be well aware of the streaks of lightning flashing through the stormy skies as huge masses of cotton clouds collide. Called the Strike Alert, we have these snazzy looking lightning detectors that help alert you before he thunder so tat you can plug your ears accordingly. It has an alarm that triggers when lightning strikes. There are some neatly arranged LEDs that glow according distance of occurrence ranging from 20-40 miles, 12-24 miles, 6-12 miles and within 6 miles. You can clip it to your belt and roam around a lightning prone zone at an expected time. It can operate for up to 100 hours with a single AAA battery. You can predict storms as well; if the LED cycles from green to red, the storm is approaching and if the LED cycles from red to green, the storm is departing also if the LED cycles from the center LED to the outside LEDs, the storm is stationary.
Summers heading up and the greatest thing you can do is throw your own pool party. Get wicked and stun your girlfriend with the Floating Jelly Fish that doubles up as pool lights. The vivid colors add a mesmerizing effect to the water. Floating around in the pool, the realistic, fiber-optic tentacles discharge a lively glow.
