A paradox? Not really. Some really nice and proper English scientists have racked their brains to change the conventional touch pad designs. More details in the Newscientist report: Source
This ”mouspad” scansyour fingertips to identify what you are touching. The sensor cam queries your fingernails and pumps clear images. It then picks up your touch as well as the force applied, heck, even on a 3D surface. This is accomplishedd by evaluating the blood pressure underneath the nails caught in images. Continue Reading »

Linksys WRT160N Review: It’s Hot!
Let anyone see this, and even your best friend will plan a heist!
The Plica is a cool cellphone concept that merges two screens which functions as a touch keyboard and touch screen. In a way, it looks a tad like a laptop- just smaller and lighter. And at 8 hours, runs about 3x as long as a laptop.
Fully spread out the unit and the screens flatten out as a large working space for doodling and websurfing. Done? Fold it up into a neat compact wallet-sized doodad and slip it into your pocket. It’s the ultimate in portability
Aside from USB and headphone ports, it appears that the unit also sports the usual connectivity fare found on other average cellphones. Processor is quite beefy too. It’s an ideal unit for video and mp3 playback. But the batts can take a hit
James Piatt is developing this toy and it won’t be long before you see one of these babies on the road.
Check it out: The AccomodatorWTF Is It?: A rubber strap-on dildo donned on your chin “to enhance oral pleasure.”
How the hell do you use it?: Now you can eat your girlfriend while fuck her pussy wet of course…… for as long as you get her to stop laughing like crazy when you wear the damn thing.
It’s for: Crazy guys who’re no longer can get their peckers up from too much use and abuse. Or guys ashamed to show their one inch weiners.
Hmmm… I bet your GF will call you “Crazy Dildo Face” till the day you die!
Back in the good ole days when Doctors had to see what was stopping up your gut, the tool of choice
involved a spongy cable they stuffed down your throat and wiggled around your innards. It wasn’t pleasant. My grandma wretched the last time she suffered this indignity. Oh- and entry was manageable. It was egress that hurt. Pulling the cord out was like someone reaching into your balls from the throat and yanking it out.
Now doctors have developed a new technology that mitigates such suffering. Instead of a cord, a tiny capsule flies into your body operated by remote control. The attending physician simply navigates the robot throughout your internal organs, snapping away as it goes.No cord needed- the cute little guy is totally wireless.
You submitted a great report and that fat slob of a boss still castigated you before your peers. Don’t quit! Just cool off by slamming that huge nail into your laptop. (don’t worry, it won’t go bust).
You see, the Nail Flash Drive built by Plankton is built to look like a big fat nail that you can hammer in your USB por. It is made from polyurethane and metal alloy; it retracts when hit, driving the 90 x 34mm inwards. And on the serious note, it can store 1Gb of data inside it. (I recommend you just pop it in rather then slam it in with a sledge, though).
Now only if they make a nail for the boss’ head.
Fancy doing your bit to cut down on pollution? Then you’ll like what these fellas have in store for you: an
ultra lightweight bike that folds up into a backpack for easy storage. No more worrying that some klepto is jacking your bike down at the lot.
Oh, and it doubles as a cart as well. Got to many things to carry? No problem. Unpack the bike and wheel those garbage bags to the bin. It’s got more. Headlights, backlights and turning signals. All in a nice package of 5kg.
This looks definitely like something I’d take for an intravillage commute. But will I take it to work 10 miles away? Nahhhh…. This toy looks a tad flimsy to me. It may break at the next pothole. (oh, and with its size, any chihuahua could outrace me) Continue Reading »
