Your are censored

Posted in Consumer, Cool, Funny, Gadgets, Games by david on the July 18th, 2007 at 9:00 am

Want to look like a celebrity when they have the eyes blacked out in a photo? Well this could be your lucky day. Just take a look at these sunglasses; they actually look like one of those black bars, which is especially funny in photos.

By wearing these glasses you are bound to get some attention, in fact probably a lot of attention. The glasses, which are called “Black Bars”, are the idea thing for parties, as you and your crew will look like the in crowd.

But there is one thing that these are ideal for, web cams and personal images that are placed on websites like My Space etc. You can make your photo but without actually showing your face.

Electric plant prototype

Posted in Circuits, Consumer, Cool, Energy, Funny, Gadgets by david on the July 18th, 2007 at 7:00 am

Do you ever get fed up with all of those electrical sockets that lay empty? Well you can now brighten them up with a nice flower planter. Now that is flower power!

die electric

These have been designed by serial socket filler Scott Amron of Die Electric, who has made installations for the electric sockets out of some very odd things indeed, including fire extinguishers, corks, glass and cables, some are very arty indeed which is great, because they make use of the space that does not really look nice on the best of days.

The planter electric socket covers are priced at $225.

Moving LED coffee table

Posted in Circuits, Consumer, Cool, Entertainment, Funny, Gadgets by david on the July 17th, 2007 at 3:00 pm

The LED lights move when something is placed on or near the table, so if you placed a glass of wine on it the light would move to be on underneath it, the same goes if you waved your hand over the table, the light come on and follow your movement. The surface can be made from either glass or plastic, depending on your preference.

LED coffee table

Inside the table there are 32 infrared sensors which pick up the move or close proximity and therefore activate the lights all 480 of them. As you move the light come on and off with the movement.

The table does not use as much power as you would expect, only 35 Watts when fully active, which is around the same as a single household light bulb. It measures 62 “ L x 31 “ W x 18 “ H, and these tables are made to order, which can between four to six weeks.

The prices of the fantastic looking table start at around $2,500.

Posted in Consumer, Cool, Gadgets, Sports by david on the July 17th, 2007 at 9:00 am

When the market is flooded with items of a similar nature, you have to make your product either the best or the cheapest, and probably both to really get a good grip on the market. Polar have done this part of the way, their product is great, even though it is slightly on the expensive side.

Yet when a product has been nearly four years in development you have to expect some cost attached to it, here are some of the features:
