Super Vespa hit the streets

Posted in Auto, Consumer, Cool, Entertainment, Motor, Travel, Wireless by david on the August 9th, 2007 at 10:00 am

The modern vespa is slightly different to its original counterparts where they had hardly anything extra on them.

super vespa

But this one has got the latest hi tech upgrade, including this LCD screen, with touch screen display, and WiFi connectivity which will enable access to the internet whenever the owner wants, though it is not a great idea to be doing this while driving along.

I wonder what the insurance would be on this, I couldn’t imagine any theft being able to walk past it, without thinking about ripping the screen out of the bike.

It doesn’t matter whether your are a smoker or not, you cam always find a great use for a usb powered lighter which will light up a cigarette, wherever and whenever you feel like it, not forgetting smoking bans in certain establishments.

Of course if you do not smoke, then you can always use this to warm your hands up! I would just love to see someone using one of these, they would never be able to live it down.

Character USB optical mouse

Posted in Consumer, Gadgets, USB by david on the August 7th, 2007 at 1:00 pm

I love these devices from Japan, they are sort of a cross between toys and useful products, and there is no doubt that the USB mouse is a great thing to have.

fun usb mouse

They come in either a duck, frog or seal, has an 800 dpi optical sensor, and as usual the mouse has the two buttons, and a scroll wheel.

This mouse is fairly small at 60 mm x 104 mm x 35 mm, with a weight of just 105 grams; this mouse is going to be light.

Prices start at around $13.
