Here’s a nifty idea for future reading lamps, a dynamic hand-powered lamp that is completely driven by the energy generated by your hand, kinetic they call it.
Really cool, great idea!
Karin Johansson’s lamp is a wonderful and eco-friendly concept that uses the globe of the earth as your source of light and the kinetic energy of your hands as the source of power. A dynamo placed inside the globe converts the kinetic energy to light, when you spin it. It’
AT&T trying to
Well, it’s not new news that a telecommunication company is trying to scam consumers out of their rights through changes in service agreements. I remember my credit card company sending me a new service agreement about 3 months after I signed up, now that’s a big scam.
Of course, as consumers we can’t really “prove” they are a scam unless we sue them together.
As for me, I am glad I got of the AT&T (Cingular back then) market. My cable and internet is Comcast and I use Sprint for my Blackb
Check out this EarthRace Boat which runs on 100% biodiesel and is 100% carbon neutral, meaning this cool boat doesn’t excrete any CO2 or poisonous fumes to the atmosphere.
It’s been an exciting month as we’ve seen green transportation records set on the ground and in the sky, so naturally we are taking the next step and bringing you to the sea with the Earthrace, a 78 ft tri-hull “wavepiercer”. The biodiesel boat recently completed a carbon-neutral tour of the globe in an incredible 60 days and 23 hours, besting the previous world rec
Here’s a lovely LED Swing Wing I would love to one day make one for myself when I get a real house.
Made from plastic with fibre optic lighting inserted. On a dark summer night the swing creates a spectacular light show that lights up a whole garden in the most beautiful way. The swing was originally shown in the “Five playful chairs” exhibition in 2005 and has been a huge success around the globe. Over 30 000 internet sites has written about Sense as well as large newspaper articles in New York Times, Herald Tribune, Taipei Times and Fra
Here’s an interesting new type of cigarette that lets you squeeze extra menthol by squeezing the butt-end of the cigarette. Of course, this won’t help cure or lessen cancer…duh!
Video after the jump!

The key to Kool Boost is the powerball – a cobalt blue plastic globe of concentrated menthol flavor that responds to pressure by releasing more menthol into the smoke stream. In effect, smokers can adjust each cigarette to their preferred level of coolness. That

Here’s a really cool 3D iPhone application that is coming soon. (You can sign up for the beta for now…)
The iPhone Earth lets you view satellite imagery of the globe in 3D, sorta like Google Earth, but customized for the iPhone so you can rotate it back and forth for control.
I was particularly impressed when I saw they had used the iPhone accelerometers to allow you to tilt and rotate your view by tilting the iPhone. They weren’t downloading the imagery data over the

Cool stuff here.
Have a look at this cool Nightclub LED Lighting System. If I owned a nightclub this system would be one of the first enhancements that would be added. The company has done quite a few 3D models of their designs which provide a great idea of what the end result will look like. I would be interested in knowing what type of RGB LED element they use and how they get the color to fill the globe as evenly as they do.
Here’s a great way to make some new technological art using old cellphones. But what are those guys doing? Are they supposed to be part of the art???
Samsung unveiled ‘mobile-globe’, its glove-shaped creation in Ukraine, which is made of Samsung mobile phones from the old model to the latest ones such as Jasper Morrison phone and Ultra Edition 10.9. The creation has been established at Caravan shopping mall in Kiev, Ukraine in order for brand exposure of Samsung.
Hey, we are opening Zedomax Korea! We have couple friends in Korea who are going to run the site. Hopefully, we will be able to get some Korean readers. Our ultimate plan is to become one of the premier tech blogs in Korea. Well, that’s our plan… Web 2.0 and blogging in general is not as popular in Korea but it’s starting to get bigger.
Check out Zedomax.co.kr if you are bored or you want to know what the heck we are doing on the other side of the globe.
