Ipod Touch Unboxed

Posted in Audio, Consumer, Cool, Gadgets, mp3 by max on the September 15th, 2007 at 5:15 pm

Cool, check out this new iPod Touch, looks nice…

Ipod Touch Unboxed

Looks just like an iPhone to me…

Yeah, we know we’re running slightly behind on fooling around with a retail iPod touch, but we’ve finally got one here. You already saw our first impressions when we played with it at launch, but as the days have gone on, we’ve just become bewildered by a number of things, like: why does the screen look so different from the iPhone’s? (More on that later.) Why’d Apple switch back to the shiny, scratch-magnet rear casing? Why can you add contacts, but not calendar appointments to the touch? And what was their methodology in selecting apps to use on the touch and not on the iPhone? While we ponder these questions (and many more) check out the full unboxing and hands-on gallery. More to come.

Bees used as bomb detectors

Posted in Chemistry, Consumer, Contest, Funny by david on the September 15th, 2007 at 2:00 pm

A company has developed a strange way of detecting explosives, the unit requires a cartridge inside a portable vapour detector, camera and a bee, yes a bee! Like the ones that make the honey or sting you if you get to close.

Apparently the bees are trained to stick out their tongues when they pick up the scent of a certain substance, the camera picks the signal up and that should mean that they have detected explosives of a bomb.

I am sorry to say that this company is UK based and if I did not think that there was the possibility of this being a joke, then I am just flabbergasted to the extent that this sort of research goes.

Unlocking an iPhone just got easier

Posted in Consumer, Cool, Entertainment, Funny, cell phones by david on the September 15th, 2007 at 12:00 pm

With all of the news around about the software that can unlock the now all so famous Apple iPhone, there may be some people who are actually wondering “How can I get that done?” well apparently if you believe all that you can see, not very far from the store where you bought it from.

This does look a bit like a joke, but just because of where it is, it has to be funny. And no doubt hanging around the stores has to be the best place to find customers, so it cannot be that hard to find a dealer willing to download the software to free up your iPhone, can it?

The five wheeled bike

Posted in Consumer, Cool, Entertainment, Funny by david on the September 15th, 2007 at 10:00 am

At first site this bike looks like a mock up, made by someone who just wanted to have laugh with their friends, but this is something else, this is a serious bike, even though it does have five wheels.

The extra wheels do not just give the bike better handling they also allow better stability, which means that the rider can perform some serious stunts, and get away with them without making an idiot of themselves.

Wear the stars

Posted in Consumer, Cool, Funny, Gadgets by david on the September 15th, 2007 at 8:00 am

This tee shirt is covered with constellations, so anyone interested in the stars from any point of view, you may like astronomy or physics, whatever your subject you will like this style and it shows everyone else just how geeky you really are.

From a distance it would be hard to tell what the design is on the shirt, but as you get closer the image becomes clearer and therefore some people may like the idea.

Whatever your style this shirt is totally cool.

Priced at $25.

X men headgear massager

Posted in Consumer, Cool, Funny, Gadgets by david on the September 15th, 2007 at 6:00 am

This just looks weird, and the makers Edmund Scientific even suggest that you can use this while on your way to work as can help to relieve stress! I would say that this is likely to create more stress than it could possibly relieve, simply because of all the fellow commuters pointing at you and laughing.

head spa

Surprisingly though this is a serious product the Head Spa is said to be able to increase blood circulation by massaging your scalp with acupressure.

If you like it and can take all the pointing and laughing then it’s yours for $49.95.

Yey, I finally got a magic trick down pat. I am starting to gain some 6th sense with cards…maybe I will goto Vegas soon.

Okay, this is totally unrelated with golf, you’d think… But it is totally related!

A good golfer must learn his trick shots just like in card tricks…

DIY Magic Golf Trick - HOWTO Catch A Golf Ball After You Hit It

Posted in Consumer, Cool, DoItYourself!, Educational, Entertainment, Funny, Golf, Sports, Video by max on the September 14th, 2007 at 9:02 pm

Click Here to View in Full Screen Mode

Here’s some golf trick I have been working on for last 18 years of my life that I want to show you:

(Even Tiger hasn’t tried this shot on TV yet…)

Here’s a HOWTO on catching your golf ball AFTER you hit it.

1. Open the clubface so it’s pointing behind you about -10 degrees.

2. Really feel like you are sitting down.

3. Get wristy and loose with your hands.

4. Make a nice swing and catch the ball.

The key here is to hit the ‘bounce’ of the sand wedge. (Oh yes, you can use Lob wedge or Sand wedge for this shot) while making a smooth swing.

If you can do this, send me a video so I can post it on my site.

DIY HACK - HOWTO make a Homebrewed Radio using paper clips, magnet wire, and razor blade

DIY HACK - HOWTO make a Homebrewed Radio using paper clips, magnet wire, and razor blade

Wow, check out this homebrewed radio you can make in your spare time!

The first time I tried this, it didn’t work. It was frustrating, but I just went through my materials, blued the razor blade and it worked. The second time I tried to get it to work, I couldn’t get a station, I just got buzz. I played with everything and finally figured out that the ground connection wasn’t very good. When I fixed that, I was able to hear sports talk radio! One of the interesting things is that it works better or worse depending on where you put the pencil lead on the razor blade. If it doesn’t work the first time, don’t give up! Every project you work on can have 100% success as long as you don’t mind mistakes and redoing things!
