Never jump in a cold shower again! LED lights change with water temperature!

Turn the water “on” and a flood of blue light shines down through the shower stream as cool blue and refreshing. When the water gets “hot” (89 degrees F/ 32 degrees C), the LED lights change from blue to red, letting you know that the water is hot and ready!

No Batteries Required!:
Shower Light generates its power as water flows through the internal turbine.

Installs In Minutes:
Fits a standard shower pipe. No special tools needed.

Water Flow Regulator:
Flow does not exceed 2.5 gpm at 80 psi.

Seagate got superior in announcing 1.5TB Desktop HDD

Posted by Vicky on July 16, 2008

Seagate announced three new consumer-level hard drives, which it claims are the “industry’s first 1.5-terabyte desktop and half-terabyte notebook hard drives.” The company claims that it is able to greatly increase the areal density of its drive substrates by utilizing perpendicular magnetic recording (PMR) technology.Wikipedia states that PMR is “capable of delivering more than triple the storage density of traditional longitudinal recording.”

The PSP phone — Comming when?

Posted by Vicky on July 15, 2008

   PSP_phone_T3-728-75                 Sony_Ericsson_PSP_Phone_Concept-728-75

There have been a few rumoured devices over the years that have got the minds and mouths of the technology community working overtime. The iPhone and the Wii are two such examples.

The Sony PlayStation Portable was introduced to similar fanfare in December 2004, and although its popularity has been average worldwide, that hasn’t stopped legions of fans longing for the day when the PSP phone finally lands on the shelves.

So what’s been said so far, what patents have been filed, what concept art has been produced and above all, how much of it is tosh and gubbins?

A robot takes on humans in air hockey.

Posted by Usman on July 12, 2008

First, a supercomputer beats a chess master. Then, an artificial intelligence program deals defeat to a poker champion. Next: A robot takes on humans in air hockey.

image

An upgraded robot designed by General Electric Fanuc (GEF) and programmed by Nuvation Research Corp. (San Jose, Calif.) can beat most human air hockey players, its developers claim.

The robot is powered by a special pc-board that can instantly switch between Freescale Semiconductor’s 8-bit Flexis and its 32-bit ColdFire microcontrollers running identical C language programs. The 8-bit version lost to most human players, but the 32-bit microcontroller defeated even the best human air hockey players by a ratio of three to one.

“Good air hockey players can score against the robot if they try really really hard. But its pretty obvious that the human is the underdog–for one thing, the audience cheers whenever the human makes a goal,” quipped Michael Worry, president and CEO of Nuvation.

Early Testing day.

The best worst idea on four wheels this year.

Posted by Usman on June 30, 2008

Now that our wheelchair-ridin’ pals can rock the virtual drums, the natural next step is fire breathing electric conveyances. Built by Lance Greathouse out of golf cart parts, a Marine rescue helicopter seat and, of course, a flame thrower, the "wheelchair" can zip along at 22 miles per hour, burninating whatever might cross its path. Lance says it best: "It was made for the disabled person looking for something a little different, why drive something that looks like a medical device when you can drive something lethal?" Exactly.

Why Leave a Comment..?

Posted by Vicky on June 3, 2008

                               How’s it hanging?

 

I know that many of you readers come here, read what you want to, take what you want to, do what you want to without me knowing that you ever came here! So, if you have been a silent reader of my blog and want to know the benefits of leaving comments on a blog’s posts, let me give you some tips on why you should be doing it.

1. Do you know me?

If you regularly leave comments on a particular blog, it will make the blog owner recognize you and also your website. When you do this on multiple blogs, you will be socially recognized in the blogging community. Also, most of the blogs nowadays use avatars which can help in branding and getting some popularity for your own blog. I think that leaving comments on popular blogs is the best way to be known around the Internet.

2. Building Community

A community is built around people and their views. Leaving comments is a way of showing that you care and want to share your opinion with others including the owner of the blog. The comments can be a suggestion, feedback, appreciation or even criticism. They are good as long as they are not spammy or abusive. So, even if you are just stopping by, try to make that little effort of writing a comment, even if its just a line.

The PS3 Laptop: from Ben Heck

Posted by Usman on May 26, 2008

 

Rewind back to late 2006. The PS3 was launching alongside the Wii and geeky editors like ourselves were having a field day. We’d already managed to convince our good pal Ben Heck to build another Xbox 360 laptop and the Wii Laptop, so it was only a matter of time before we started brainstorming on how the hell we could possibly fit a PS3 into a "portable" enclosure. That’s the part where Ben stepped up his game and worked his magic — on and off for almost a year and a half — to build… the PS3 Laptop!
The essential specs:

  • Original backwards compatible 60GB model
  • 17-inch LCD HDTV screen: 720p
  • HDMI-DVI connection (same as last Xbox 360 laptop)
  • Built-in keyboard, USB ports, stereo speakers, headphone jack
  • Size: 17 x 13.75 x 3-inches
  • Weight: 16 pounds!

You want this one of a kind piece of kit for your very own, PlayStation fanboys? You got it. We’re auctioning this thing for charity real soon, so watch out for details (we’ll also have some video of the PS3 Laptop in action on the site tomorrow). And, naturally, big ups to our pal Ben Heck for the long hours and love he put into this thing. The man is truly a hero of ours, so be sure to hit up his site to check out his other projects, as well as the other instructional stuff he’s done here on Engadget.
Update: Video of it in action is now live, check it out here!
