This is the Porsche Design Cronographe PTC, and we should have known by the images as it is like the cars, smart, sharp and looks like it is going to be high performance, and we would be right.

Being a limited edition, this watch has a titanium case, which is 42 mm in diameter; the dial is fixed to the watch by sapphire crystals on both sides. While the underneath has a glass bottom, so the workings inside can be seen, and naturally there are a few splashings of Porsche, on the both sides of the watch.

The watch is water proof to 100 meters and will cost around $7,540.

I finally got my HP DV9000-CTO notebook back from HP.  Somehow, my motherboard burned out but they replaced it so that’s good.

Michael Page submitted his cool GameCube Zelda mod on ebay. Check it out and bid on it if you want it before someone else takes it!

I just finished making my Gold Zelda GameCube. I am selling it on eBay and giving a portion to the ‘child’s play charity.’

The top of the console where you inset the disc has a large image of Navi the fairy from the Zelda series which glows blue when the console is on. This looks amazing!

Just above the controller ports there have been precision drilled holes that light up, displaying the player number.

The controller ports themselves light up blue (player1), green (player2), white (player3) and red (player4).

Both the right and left fans on the GameCube light up in a bright white, which illuminates the ground around the GameCube.

The once black disc cover plate has been changed over with a transparent panel, which lets you see you games running. The discs inside the GameCube are lit up by three blue super bright LED’s, built into the case.

The consoles ability to play games has not been affected at all, it works perfectly! The extra LED’s use a tiny amount of power, it is pretty much as energy efficient as a normal GameCube.

Solar powered radios are a great idea, if you find yourself in an area where the power has gone down, then you would need a source of information and the solar powered radio would be an excellent addition to anyone’s survival kit. Of course you can just use it for listening to the radio, without having to buy batteries.

This one from Brando has AM and FM, if you want to have a battery back up, the radio takes AAA batteries.

Features:

Solar plate to charge up the internal battery
One AAA battery as a second power supply
Frequency range, AM: 88-108 MHz and FM: 530-1600Khz
Radio dimension: 6.5 x 9.0 x 1.8 cm

Package Included:

1 pc Solar Radio
1 pc Earphone

Price US $15

This device will solve any problems that you have ever had with getting the picture right. You know how it is with uneven surfaces, imagine you are taking a nice family picture, you balance the camera and just as the picture is about to be taken the camera moves slightly and you end up with a picture of the floor or just a load of feet.

The millipod is supposed to be the slimmest tripod around, and it attaches permanently to the bottom of the camera and it is then forgotten about until you have then need for it.

Because you have three legs on the camera you can always find an even balance, which will help the camera stay even.

The lamp that looks like a mega large pin in a piece of cork but is really a lamp. This is a great piece of design and innovation. Comes in Lime, Marine Blue, Mandarin and Matt Clear.

What is really good is the base is actually made from cork and can be used for pining messages to by using the real pins to fix your message to the base; no doubt some lamps will be fuller than others.

This is not really practical for children’s rooms, as the light is activated by pushing the pin into the base.
