If you’re pissed at your office colleague and use a water pistol at him, there’s bound to be a fight. Especially if he wears an Armani suit. However, if you load up with your Amazing Metal Rubber Band gun, the suit will incur no damage and you’ll be able to work your frustration off.

Here’s what the rubber band gun looks like:

It’s crafted in solid steel and fires multiple rounds of easy to load rubber bands. It won’t hurt except at close range and on bare skin. Otherwise it should be jolly good fun for the whole office!

There’s been so much buzz about Google’s Android powered mobile phone. Now you no longer need to dream so much- the device should be arriving soon. The first phone off the  pipeline is the HTC G1 which is also dubbed the Dream. T-Mobile is the first to launch the phone for its users.

I know the techlusters want the bottomline, so here it is.

First of, a 3.2 inch 65k colour screen is to be found on the phone which runs at a resolution of 480×320 pixels. The screen is touch sensitive as most high end phones should be. There’s a QWERTY keyboard folds out from beneath the device. A great space saver if you ask me. Continue Reading »

The driver side seats have airbags and SRS. Shouldn’t that cute tyke in the back be afforded the same protection? I’d rather die than see my baby squashed to a pulp in road mishap!

Now here are baby seats are designed to make your bundle of joy very safe if a crash mild crash occurs. Britax have taken these safety seats very seriously by adding a couple of side impact airbags making your baby nicely safe.

The airbags add about 1/2 inch of extra girth to the average car seat however, during  a crash  the airbags deploy giving your baby even more protection then normal. Don’t bother that the price tag is a fair bit higher then an regular baby seat at $369.99. I think this is a fair price to protect your loved ones from nasty lumps (or worse- a broken neck) Continue Reading »
Baby Seats With Airbags

I’m a couch potato. There’s nothing more enticing for me than to slump like a slob into my sofa on a lazy afternoon. So you can imagine how many sofas I have around my house (one in each and every room).

Now recently I came across a new breed of sofas. These are Chesterfields… they are not designed for your home and instead, are to be  deployed in the garden. They’re  inflatable meaining you can quickly pack it up and take it anywhere with you. The manufacturers nicely provide a pump to blow the thing up. Both Inflation and deflation take around 5 minutes each.

Although it is designed for the garden you can also use it for the home too. It costs about $700 and at that price I can get myself a pretty plush Lazy Boy with vibration .

I’ll pass this one up!

Can something good be made better? You bet! Two days ago, the Zune 3.0 upgrade was made available for download. Now you can enjoy enhanced functionality and features for your Zune.

Early this month, Robert J. Bach, President, Entertainment & Devices Division stressed that the focus with the evolution from version 2.0 to 3.0 was not the hardware, the Zune device itself, but the software and service running the device.  According to Seitz, marketing manager, the close similitude between the Zune 2.0 and Zune 3.0 devices is due to the fact that Microsoft is focused on building software for a hardware platform which can be overlooked by innovative growth.

Viruses love spreading via removable drives.  And what could be a better medium since every kid and his grandma totes a flashdisk or portable drive these days. It’s because of this that iKill came into existence.

iKill works magic by scanning the drives for the presence of removable discs. When found, it scrutinizes the autorun.inf file for the executables it may run.

If you enabled AutoProtect option the software will automatically deletes the nasties present on the drive. Otherwise, you will be prompted to confirm the deletion of the suspected files. 

Most USB drives whether a pendrive, ipod, mp3 Players, mobile phones, may contain viruses. As ubiquitous  carriers, the drive can unleash a payload  of the viruses and trojans to exploit the autorun.inf file to execute themselves whenever you try to open the drive by double clicking. They even may shadow the Open, Explore, Search, etc, other features using the shell commands.. like..

shellExplorecommand = virus.exe 

Simply clicking on the drive icon and running on Explore, the nasty virus.exe would be launched, infecting the whole system, and then it will start spreading by any means possible…

So, the program parses the autorun.inf for you and deletes the virus/trojans.

There is no use of the autorun.inf in your removable drive, so you can safely delete it.  In fact, if you see such a file on your flashdisk…. be suspicious. Be very suspicious.
