I have said it before, and I will say it again – everyone loves gummy bears. I have yet to see anyone turn down gummy bears when offered to them, although parents who are more health conscious tend to refuse such an offer on behalf of their kids, much to the little ones’ disappointment and chagrin. Well, this is one pair of headphones that you might just drool over, even if it is playing Justin Bieber’s music – the £9.99 Scented Gummy Bear Headphones

Are you thinking of getting inked? After all, celebrities do it, and so do sports icons – be they footballers, the star quarterbacks, professional wrestlers, or hoop shooters.

Virtual Mountain Bike Racing Simulator

| March 6, 2012 | 0 Comments

I believe that there are two schools of thought when it comes to running and cycling – one of them prefer the actual outdoors, traversing off the beaten trails as well as pavements and parks, while the other prefer a more sterilized environment which is far safer, and in the comfort of an air conditioned room, hence the springing up of gyms and fitness centers all over the place.

Mercedes Benz comes up with one-sided invisible car

| March 6, 2012 | 0 Comments

James Bond called up Mercedes Benz, and he wants his car back. This ad campaign from the German marque definitely captured the attention of many people, where a Canon 5D Mark II camera is mounted on one side of the vehicle to record and send a live video feed over to the opposite side of the car, that incidentally is covered all over with LEDs, making the vehicle look “invisible”. Not forgetting the fact that the F-Cell from Mercedes Benz is an all-electric vehicle, you can be sure that the lack of noise from a gas-powered engine will make this vehicle all the more invisible to our senses, including sound.

Beats By Dr. Dre Beatbox arrive at AT&T

| March 6, 2012 | 0 Comments

I am always curious about the marketing claim by audio companies who proudly proclaim that their peripherals or devices will make the song you hear over them sound as though the way it was meant to be by the artist. Having heard that a gazillion times, I do have this burning desire to one day pull Lady Gaga aside (if I can meet her), shove a pair of Beats By Dr. Dre Beatbox that will be hitting AT&T this March 11th into her hands, ask her to give it a go with one of her signature tunes playing over my iPod touch that is connected to it.

PlanOn SlimScan portable color scanner

| March 5, 2012 | 0 Comments

Computer peripherals range from the ordinary, boring, to extremely interesting. The question is this – just how the heck do you make an everyday peripheral like a scanner interesting? The answer would be to miniaturize it – after all, just about everyone loves a mini version of something that is out there, and I am quite sure that a scanner is no different.
