Ok, maybe that’s an over reaction, because people kill people, not guns, knives, cars, etc. But this knife is a bit on the egregious side. Embedded in the handle of the WASP knife is small compressed air tank. When the prey is stabbed the gas is released into the prey causing all sorts of internal damage to occur. The site says it will cause the prey to float to the surface in an underwater attack, but I’m guessing it inflicts a greater level of carnage.
Hit the ‘leap’ to see some video of what it can do to a watermelon (more…)
I’m shakin’ in my pants, from excitement that is. The touchscreen Macbook would rock similar features to that of the iPhone including App store compatibility and GPS, and some how accomplish a reasonable price point. Now if they can just do something about battery life. Come on Apple, fuel cell me!
This little guy packs a 14.7 megapixel punch. I mean, come on, is that really necessary, or are people truly suckered into purchasing digital cameras based on megapixels? Expect 3.6x optical zoom and an ISO ranging from 100-6400. It’s also rocking a 28mm wide angle Leica DC Vario-Elmarit lens.
I lack the enthusiasm to the right about these music phones, but I think they’re worth a mention. Sony launched the W902, W959, and W302 today. All of them are music phones with digital cameras. The W902 is the best of of the three, sporting a 5 megapixel camera, superior sound quality and is compatible with the 8GB Memory Stick Micro. The W959 is more music focused, and includes built-in stereo speakers and a 3.2 megapixel camera. The W302 is on the cheaper side but still accomplishes similar features to that of the W959, but with a 2 megapixel camera.
All phones will be available Q4 2008 select countries.
Cow methane (aka cow farts) causes global warming. Yup, believe it or not, we’ve got enough cows roaming the earth to have a hand in the green house effect. Looks like someone is finally getting on board, at least in Argentina. Scientists there have fitted cows with plastic backpacks to not capture and reuse the methane but to study the affects of different feed has on the cows noxious output. I still think reusing the gas to power farm equipment, etc, would be uber cool.
Not everyone can drop a few grand on a projector. So, if you desire a similar gaming experience without burning your entire savings, then there’s the XPJ Projector. This $279 device displays a max resolution of 640×480, connects via the standard inputs but can display an image 40 - 70 inches in size. 70-inches at 640×480 has gotta look horrible, but a fun experience nonetheless.
Looks like there are a few versions of this kicking around. The Star Wars MP3 player, which features Darth Vader, rocks a 512MB flash drive, a small monochrome screen, rechargeable batteries and USB cable. Sweet!
Logitech, long time maker of keyboards and mice for computers, is set to launch the Nintendo Wii keyboard. Looking slim and trim, this wireless typepad is a full QWERTY and will boast Wii specific keys such as zoom, forward/back, quit, and more. The receiver dongle fits snuggly into the keyboard for easy transportation.
No intro needed. One word: BADASS. Ok, maybe it’s a little too soon to tell, but still, anything is better than T3. That was the only TV movie to hit the Silver Screen first.
For everyone one teenager I see another one has a pair of white ear buds jammed in their ears. I can’t help it. I find it disrespectful to those there with, especially if it’s family. If it were my kids, they’d get a slapping. Fortunately, I don’t own any, kids that is. More importantly, though, is that these kids are probably destroying their hearing. Purebuds, from Amazing Tech Products, claims that they’ve designed a pair of ear buds that will save your ears by not directly shooting the sound directly into the ear canals, something they call ‘reverse sound technology’. The Purebuds come with three attachments to enhance your music: Surround Sound, Bass Boost and Full Range.
How do they sound? I have no clue. How exactly do they work? I’m not sure. But some empirical evidence could have these things flying off the store shelves this holiday season.
The Purebuds retail for $50 a pop and are available at the company’s website.
