This clock is made to imitate a brick, though I am not quite sure as what it is actually made from. The time can be seen through the material, which looks remarkably like foam sponge or something similar, but I would have thought that it would be made from something a bit more solid than that, but it does look cool though.

Features:

Powered by 110V AC adaptor
Alarm with snooze function
Size: 22.5 x 11 x 5 cm
Delivery Time: Usually 1-2 weeks
Designed in Japan
110V->220V converter is required for countries, which provide 220-240V

The brick clock will cost you around $166

Believe it or not, Apple are claiming that the iPhone will have up to eight hours of talk time, six hours of internet browsing and seven hours of video. Which is great considering that they initially stated that the figures would be closer for fiver hours, so a bit of a boost or is it boasts there, I suppose that we should wait and see what happens in the real world.

Apple have also upgrade the screen from the original, it was going to be plastic, but they have cancelled that idea and now the iPhone will be sporting some really fancy optical quality glass, which will be great as there would be nothing worse than a great big scratch on the screen of your new iPhone.

This wireless headset by Darfon, is the standard wireless blue tooth headset but with a little extra bonus, you will notice from the images that there is the capabilities of being able to dial too.

So from now on you can be completely remote from your cell phone, but still make and receive calls, which is great.

On the key pad, you get a full keypad, none of this doubling up of buttons to save space, however it does appear that the headset itself doe not have any display at all, which is a bit inconvenient. But apart from that this piece of kit is really great and well worth looking up when it does eventually come out.

Windows Activation causes an ATM machine to mal-function!  This is great news for Linux/MAC users.   Now we have one more reason to tell you how stable Windows are.

On the side note, I have been using a Windows Vista and it STINKS!  Yes, that is my purely honest opinion.  Almost 3 out of 5 programs no longer work on the new Vista.   Plus,  my new HP Color Laserjet software does not install!  Okay, I am not just whining.  The new Windows Vista feels like a Linux they used to have couple years ago where there is no stability at all.

My suggestion: Wait until Windows Vista SP2 comes out, probably 2 more years.  Windows Vista sucks at backward compatibility waY more than Windows XP.  At least XP didn’t have those problems.  I think I will have to re-install XP tomorrow… bummer… I wish they had XP on the new computers… if Vista wasn’t installed already, I wouldn’t be wasting my time…

Sorry Bill, your Vista really sucks a**…  you really need to get your stuff workin’ FIRST before you sell it.  :p

Being made from porcelain the flash drive is very strong but can be brittle as well, so it would not do well to drop this one!
