Strange, Egg Shaped Mp3 Player Arrives post Easter
By Andrew | March 25, 2008
On one hand we are getting crazier by day for the smallest, sleekest and tiniest of music players, and on the other crazily innovative minds are coming up with equally competitive crazy designs like this Egg shaped MP3 player.
Would somebody tell them that Easter came and went and they are quite late if coinciding the launch with the festive spirit was on their mind.
Still…there might be some musical minds who might like to put their hands on this unique music machine, so here go the features.
Keep aside the unique shape of this Unique Egg MP3 player and you’ll meet another USP. It comes with a wireless FM transmitter and a built-in speaker….well, sounds cool!
Talk about memory and it offers a decent capacity of 1GB, in case you are not a sucker for storage space. As far as operating the MP3 goes, no, there are no controls on the EGG body, but it comes with a similar remote control, to give you some comfort or embarassament (whichever way you go!)
So in case you are game to carry this kiddish Egg shaped Mp3 Player, where ever you go or are just looking forward to gifting it to your gift (which any way sounds a better option) have all the reasons to know the price, which is $46.87.

By Andrew | March 23, 2008
If you are looking forward to shedding those extra pounds and are also far away from vocabulary that includes words like ‘exercise, work-outs, dieting and all…but still want to get into shape…we have got something for you.
Check out these cool blue glasses, which are going to do the fitness spree on you. Yes, these glasses boasts of making weightloss quite an easy thing by changing your food habits. How?
Let me explain.
According to scientists, apart from the natural phenomenon a unique colour physiology controls our appetite, where in the colour red in out food approaches the brain at the subconscious level and exites the appetite. While any thing blue acts converse to the appetite system and repels you from the food and this is where these ‘blue’ sunglasses come into the picture.
As you wear the unique sunglasses while eating, they make the food appear al the more blue, dull and boring. And according to researchers blue is the least appetizing of all colours in the spectrum. So as you see the blue food, your mind will retract back…taking you away from the food and working towards a slimmer you.
I don’t know how effective they will be and we also hope they are powerful enough to stand against a foodie’s pull, who might not let them remain on the eyes once he is sure to eat!
Still if you are game for the uber-cool blue weight loss glasses they are available for $ 20.

Washing Machine cum Toilet to save water
By Andrew | March 22, 2008
Now…finally the world is listening to the ‘SAVE WATER’ call! I’m saying this as I’ve seen this unique washing machine-toilet combo that does the trick. An intelligent work of mind, this unique gadget fits a WashUP washing machine over a toilet.
Now, the good that this appliance does is that once the clothes are washed, the used water instead of getting thrown away stores it in the load, which is later on used to flush the toilet.
Can’t resist saying that the combo must be an intelligent mind’s brain child. A great way to save water as usually the water left post washing is wasted by letting I into the drain. But with this at service, very easily we’ll be able to put it to a very much valid use. I hope the design gets the approval of the manufacturers and soon we can see it in as many homes looking forward to saving some water.

Philips AJL308: another run on the mill digital photo frame
By Andrew | March 21, 2008
I am not a lover of digital photo frames, for the simple reason that I want a photo frame to freeze a memory rather than keep on shifting one from other. But those who love this advancement of technology would also love this all new baby from Phillips.
Attractive to look at, this 7’’ screen comes with the usual SD/MMC card slot, with a little innovation offered in terms of fitting a clock radio and an MP3 player, which makes it a little more impressive than the older ones already hitting the shelves.
Other features that you can boast about the Philips AJL308 include cool WiFi, apart from being adroit enough in emailing pictures directly into the photoframe. Not just this you can even send images to the frames in text messages.
I don’t think the frame is good enough to catch the fancy of a real connousier of technology, who knows the right piece of technology worthy enough to invest 159 Euros.

Here I want to present something revolutionary across you. Dubbed as the Magic Mirror cell phone, it is still a concept that promises to put all the inside fitting within the glass effervesce with on-demand two displays depicting the germane specks as and when required.
The so-much-different concept has left us flabbergasted. It resembles Harry Potter kinda sinister way of execution and its hidden displays animates so often altering among a chronometer, magnifying glass, mirror, compass, news box, phone, media player, and TV. This communication device designed by Timofej Gorlov managed to reach at the first position at the Tancher design competition. They say the display screen comes from internal electronics and conveyed from the six built-in cameras.
This device is capable of reading your lip movement and identifying your verbal instructions, for which the credit goes to the cameras and machinery. The base of the device is a glass frame that produces delusion, thereby adding to the shifting in the internal space of displays.
