Epoch’s infant Sound-Touch Pudding is questionable to be along the aforementioned lines as those keychain bubble-wrap simulators, but instead of good impressible bubbles it lets kids flavor the instrument of pudding, without effort their safekeeping dirty. Yeah. Apparently my parents were incorrect when they intellection course was a dessert, and not a toy. As an added motivator when you contact the course it triggers a artful someone voice, which is added ocean where my land puddings were lacking. Anyways, if you poverty digit you’ll belike effect to nous over to Nihon or effect them imported erst they’re acquirable on Nov 21 for most $7.

Hilco / Gordon Brothers acquires Polaroid brand, assets and dignity

After filing for Chapter 11 bankruptcy (again) in December of last year, Polaroid may have just made its last shakeable memory. Today, the Federal Bankruptcy court for the district of Minnesota has approved a motion for “substantially all the assets of Polaroid, including the Polaroid brand, intellectual property, inventory and other assets,” to be acquired by Hilco Consumer Capital and Gordon Brothers Brands. If those names sound familiar, have a cookie on us. You see, this very same joint venture picked up The Sharper Image around this time last year, and while it’s still unclear what these suits plan to do with the 72 year-old name, we are told that it doesn’t plan on shelving it anytime soon. In fact, it’s hoping to “partner with a number of global institutions in the ongoing development of the Polaroid brand.” Personally, we would’ve used “revival” rather than “development,” but we’ll refrain from bursting any bubbles here.

Video: Sony NWZ-X1000 OLED touchscreen Walkman rightly promoted

One of our pet peeves with Sony gear has long been the software. Beautiful hardware matched with average to awful software can kill the user experience. Oh sure, there are exceptions in Sony’s broad product portfolio, but interfaces like XMB are bubbles on Sony’s otherwise festering UI sores. Sony knows this, they’ve admitted it with a promise of good things to come — and here’s a good example: Sony’s new X-series Walkman with 3-inch OLED. In the (controlled) promotional video (finally!) found after the break, the X-series Walkman seems to offer a sweet mix of hybrid touchscreen and physical controls conveniently positioned for use. The 3D animations also look fluid without being superfluous. Even Sony’s drag-and-drop Content Transfer Tool (updated to 1.1 last week) for quickly moving audio, video, and pictures onto the player looks dead simple to use. We’ll reserve final judgement until we get a unit in-house for a review. Until then, feel free to jump to your own conclusions in the comments.

Bubble Experiment Lab Is A Lame Alternative To A Chemistry Set

Mad Science Bubble Experiment Lab (Image courtesy Mad Science)
By Andrew Liszewski

Ugh, I guess this is another sign of the times. Instead of kids blowing up test tubes with strips of magnesium, they have to settle for making square shaped or smoke filled bubbles with this Bubble Experiment Lab from ‘Mad Science’. I’ll give them credit though, when fully assembled the lab does look like a crazy contraption cooked up by a Disney Imagineer, but I’m afraid the accolades end there. While it comes with bubble solution and a smoke elixir (sounds delicious) according to one of the reviewers on Amazon “the smoke was less visible than the steam coming off a cup of warm coffee.”

So if you live for the look of disappointment on your kid’s faces, you can order the Bubble Experiment Lab from Amazon for $42.99. Otherwise, just spend like 50 cents and buy them a bottle of bubble solution. It’s a far cheaper way to confirm the scientific hypothesis that bubbles are lame.

Clean Your Nasty Bath Water With A Bath Ball

flat-clear-bath-ball-21

By Luke Anderson

One thing that’s always troubled me about taking a bath is that any way you slice it, you’re actually just sitting in your own filth. You can make yourself feel better about it by adding in some bubbles, but you’re really just covering up the discolored water. The obvious solution is to take a shower before getting in the tub. Of course that’s redundant and just plain silly, so someone has created a better solution.

This funny-looking yellow ball is called the Float Clear Bath Ball. It uses magical powers to attract dirt, oil and residue which it absorbs. I’m honestly not sure just how effective it is, but at least it’s easy to clean. Just toss it in the washing machine, or rinse it out before your next bath. $45 seems a bit pricey, if it actually works well, then it might be worth it. However, there’s no telling how effective it will be.

Fish Tank Friday: Fish Get Chumby

chumby

By Evan Ackerman

This confused looking goldfish has a Chumby in its tank. You remember Chumby, right? It’s a little open source widget platform, with WiFi, a touch screen, some USB ports, and a squeeze sensor… It’s designed to become whatever you want it to become. And in this case, it’s become an interactive fish monitor.

The Chumby is attached to some hardware that sits in the fish bowl and measures water conditions to make sure your fish stays healthy. If you’re not going to be around, you can monitor your fish wirelessly with a webcam and have the Chumby dispense food and medication. But it gets better: the Chumby also senses vibrations and noises made by bubbles, and can send the information to other Chumbys in other fish tanks which will reproduce everything, in effect allowing fish to communicate with each other over the internet. And it’s about time, geez… My fish have been complaining about not having internet phone service for years now.

Tokyoflash

By Andrew Liszewski

Tokyoflash once again proves that if telling time is not your number one priority when it comes to designing a watch, you’ll never have to worry about running out of new ideas. However this time around things aren’t as confusing, as long as you’re willing to do a little math. The watch features 4 raised convex bubbles that can each display the numbers 0 to 9, and in order to tell the current time you just hit the single button on the side and add up the numbers that are displayed in each column. Otherwise the watch just runs a little animation where the LED numbers move in a sweeping animation from side to side, “bringing the watch to life.”

The Kisai Keisan’s also got a high grade aluminum band and body with a polished alumite coating giving it that smooth appearance, an energy saving mode to boost the battery life and is water resistant to 3 ATM. It’s currently available from the Tokyoflash website with a black (red or green LEDs) or silver (yellow or orange LEDs) finish for $255.01 each.
