Bike Mounted BreakFast tray
I don’t know about you, but whenever I exercise, I don’t exactly have the appetite nor am I in the shape to actually eat something on the spot while sweating profusely. The Bike Mounted BreakFast tray caters for those who are on the other end of the spectrum however, as it provides cyclists with ample space to place their sandwich and even coffee while they’re pedaling. You can just imagine the mess such a breakfast would make, especially when you’re about to attempt a particularly challenging terrain. I guess this product won’t really take off - would you actually buy something like this?

How many portable media players do you know that come with an integrated digital camera, let alone a 12 megapixel one? Well, the L1200 from Newman-Hyun has exactly that, featuring the capability to rotate up to 180 degrees in order to increase the flexibility of your camera shots. Not only that, you also get a 3″ QVGA display, an SD memory card slot, MP3 and video playback capability. The best of all is the $132 price tag - definitely irresistable, even if you’re just curious to find out about the 12 megapixel shooter’s performance.
Creative has just confirmed that its Zen portable media player will receive a memory boost, touching giddy heights of 32GB. Take that, iPod touch! Unfortunately, if you’re interested in picking one up, you’ve got to wait until the second quarter of next year before it surfaces. For those who do not want to apply the principal of delayed gratification, the Creative Zen 2GB model is now available for $142. Would you choose this over the iPod range?
Security researcher Nick Breese has taken his PS3 and tinkered around with it, claiming that the console’s powerful chip is more than capable of being used to crack passwords. To date, a supposedly strong eight-character password takes just a few hours to crack with the PS3, whereas previous attempts normally took days to achieve a similar result thanks to the PS3’s powerful Cell processor. This is made possible as the Cell processor’s architecture made it possible to go through a massive 1.4 billion cycles per second. While this is an interesting exercise, users need not be afraid as the Cell processor is no match for stronger encryption systems used in safeguarding web transactions.
Remember how you used to pass notes in class when you were a kid? Instead of getting caught red-handed with evidence, the UV spy pen works a little differently since it features a built-in paper shredder that renders whatever secret message prior to shredding unreadable - or so you think. This $9 product would probably make a great stocking stuffer for a young kid - just make sure he/she has no idea how to piece together a piece of paper that has been sliced into 9 strips. Oh yeah - did I mention, the UV spy pen lets you write down secret messages that can only be seen via the special UV light on the pen itself, so to use this effectively with a friend you’ll need at least two.
Engineers at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) are working on a laser-based system to improve the performance of car collision warning systems. Sounds like a pretty advanced way to help save lives by preventing car accidents - hopefully the final product will be cost effective enough to be introduced into all vehicles. The entire system consists of “a camera and microphone in the cab to detect the driver warning, a suite of calibrated cameras to measure the distance to lane boundaries and laser scanners to measure the distance to obstacles forward and to the side of the vehicle. The system can be mounted on cars or trucks with trailers and requires no modifications or connections to the warning system being tested. The NIST system can detect an object to within about eight-tenths of a meter from up to 60 meters away at speeds up to 25 m/s (within 33 inches at a distance of 197 feet and speeds up to 56 mph.)”. Best to just stay alert and fresh whenever you’re driving - never mind about technology.
The Potty Watch from Potty Time is one interesting device to help young parents potty train their kids without going potty themselves. This fun and flexible timer is worn by the toddler, and it will play music as well as flash lights every 30, 60 or 90 minutes and then resets itself automatically. Whenever these lights flash, that’s the signal for when they ought to spend some time away from whatever they’re doing at the moment (drooling at a mobile, or just throwing things around the house) and head towards the potty. This fun learning environment will probably make kids love their potties all the more. The Potty Time Watch will come in blue, green and pink colors, retailing for $9.99 each.
Winter is upon us yet again (man, the year passes by too fast), and Olympus has released its Mju 790 SW Winter Kit to enable skiers, snowboarders and other winter sports enthusiasts the opportunity to capture stunning images and magic moments of their snow-bound exploits despite the freezing cold. This winter kit features the shock (up to 1.5m), water (up to 3m) and freezeproof (up to -10°C) Mju 790 SW camera in Starry Silver, along with a neoprene case, a stylish Rossignol beanie and a fun snow tube.
The Nintendo DS can do more than play games, thanks to third-party hardware like the R4 Revolution card as well as official devices like the Opera browser. The DSVision comes in the form of an ordinary DS game cart, featuring a microSD memory card slot where you get to transfer content like video, audio and ebooks onto it for enjoyment on your DS whenever you’re traveling. To get a better idea of how much a 2GB microSD card can carry for your DS, it holds up to 16 movies or 25 comics or 4,000 books. The DSVision will hit Japan next March with 300 titles ($10 each), retailing for $37 (the DSVision itself). Each purchase comes with a 512MB microSD card, a cartridge attachment and a USB reader/writer. Nothing the R4 Revolution or M3 couldn’t already do for a long time.
