USB Flash Drive Zone Invaded by Heroes

These guys can do a lot: take care of your 2GB or 4GB carry-files-around problems, look uncompromisingly toyish (and maybe even cute for some), and fight away stray raindrops, being made from water resistant silicone.

German Sam Charms Watch Lovers with One Line Watch

Designer Sam did quite a lot to make his country Germany noticed by all those who keep tabs on fashion watches . His One Line Watch concept certainly gets the public eye with a single curved line serving as both the hour hand and the minute hand. The hour end of the line is thicker and the minute one is thinner. The watch itself looks more like a snap-on bracelet, case and strap the same translucent piece made from the same material, adding a line and a color to your outfit. At a casual glance it looks as if the bracelet were scratched for an extra line (as darkness falls the watch lights up enabling you to read the time). So this analog watch is one of those gadgets that can easily be mistaken for something else but fall into place snugly as soon as you realize what it is. Spend a couple of minutes to get your reading right and look stylish with Sam’s One Line Watch , which is – naturally – pink!

It’s up to you to decide whether the name sounds high-falutin’ or justified, but Hammacher made quite an attempt to make it worthy of the moniker. It is announced to be the most realistic in the world in its sphere, being molded along the lines of an Abies procera . Another unique feature is three-dimensional branches with natural growth patterns, realistic-looking needles and other details aimed at near-perfect verisimilitude.

Panasonic Lumix GF2: More Capable, More Compact

Panasonic's Lumix GF2 is reportedly the world's smallest and lightest interchangeable lens camera with a built in flash. It features a 12.1 MP, 17.3 x 13.0 mm, 4:3 Live MOS sensor and is compatible with Micro Four Thirds standard lenses, including Panasonic's new 3D interchangeable lens, the LUMIX G 12.5mm / F12. Very Compact As a mirror-less DSLR, the GF2 is understandably more compact than traditional DSLRs, but even amongst mirror-less DSLRs it excels. Olympus and Panasonic first introduced mirror-less or compact DSLR cameras in August 2008 based on the Four Thirds sensor standard. Called Micro Four Thirds, these cameras retained the 18 x 13.5 mm sensor of their traditional DSLR cameras, but dropped the mirror box assembly. Compact DSLRs use contrast detection autofocus, which is slower than phase detection autofocus of traditional DSLRs facilitated by the mirror box assembly. Panasonic's initial compact (G range) DSLR offering - G1, GH1, GF1 - gained widespread ...

Gadgets Take up More Than Nine Hours of the Average Brit’s Day

Nine hours and nineteen minutes is the time the average Britisher spends pressing gadget buttons and clicking the mouse, as was revealed by a study involving 3,000 people commissioned by protectyourbubble.com. That is more than half of the waking day if we assume that every adult gets his or her 8-hour sleep… And we can easily suppose that if they miss out on the sleep they spend more time at their favorite devices. The computer is the unchallenged leader in the interactivity keeping adults busy for four hours daily, and the laptop adds an hour and a half more. Surfing the web, sending and reading emails and visiting social network sites continues on smart phones thus adding 56 minutes to the total. Then comes the turn of computer games which devour 38 minutes every day and the mp3 player which demands as much time. Browsing through television channels takes the average person 16 minutes with maybe just as much unregistered time sitting and watching the partner doing the same… Ten...

Fashion Overtakes Cycling with Stylish Hovding Airbag Helmet

Cyclists who have been wrinkling their noses at the normal cycling helmet but had to put up with it for years now have a gift from designers that will enable them to dispose of the cumbersome headwear and yet be fully protected. Requests to create a helmet that would not wreak havoc with your hairdo have long been lodged, and six years of work resulted in the “Hovding” helmet , the glorious invention of Swedish designers Anna Haupt and Terese Alstin. Terese Alstin pointed out that “preserving the sense of freedom and not ruin your hairstyle ” were the chief considerations behind inventing the scarf-like helmet, and she “feels great” and satisfied with the result. The thing looks like a loose scarf around your neck; it is equipped with accelerometers and gyro-meters that react to sudden jolts. In a matter of 0.1 seconds the Hovding – that is built around the lines of a car airbag – inflates with helium, forming a protective headcover , the only time when it interferes with your h...

Mobiado Releases a Handset of Damascus Steel

It’s a moot point how far we are justified in calling a cell phone “a modern weapon”, but Mobiado lets us get a whiff of that attitude, having used Damascus steel in creating their latest brainchild, Mobiado 105 Damascus . This steel gained renown as unequalled material for sword blades in the period from 1100 to 1700 AD, and Mobiado took care to employ the same technique and use hand-forged steel. The handset’s back and front is made from sapphire crystal with stainless steel buttons and an intricate hidden mechanism operating the battery cover. 105 Damascus ’s features include – beside a built-in 2MP camera and a media player – microUSB and Bluetooth connectivity, 1GB memory capacity, and a 2-inch display. Price not given out yet, hopefully to be found on the official site soon.
