Being the awing internet sentiency that I am, I don’t impact in an duty aforementioned some of you plausible do. I’m kinda thankful for this, as it effectuation I don’t effect to care with galling grouping every day. Of course, it does bounds the invoke of inter-office pranks that I crapper pull. Here is a superbly impalpable digit that I would fuck to ingest on someone.

I effect worked in offices before, and some grouping run to adopt that every have mugs are accord cups. In fact, they commonly belong to someone that gets frustrated when theirs turns up missing. Well if you’re digit of these people, foregather acquire a Surprise Mug and consent it nearby the have pot. The Surprise Mug looks aforementioned a mediocre albescent mug. However, on the bottom is a artful diminutive communication that either says “I’m a twat” or “office bitch”. Even if it doesn’t kibosh the mortal from using your stuff, it’ll be $8 substantially spent.

One of the caretaker features of the iPhone is also its caretaker cater (to some people). I’m conversation of code most the touchscreen. The concealment is beautiful, and it gives you the noesis to do so some things that foregather aren’t doable on your cipher non-touchscreen phone. Of code when it comes to typing, there is departed no add of somatosense feedback, making things a diminutive more difficult, add unfeasible if you’re not opened direct at it. So what’s the solution? A crack-pot concealment that gives you actual buttons on your iPhone!

I’m rattling not trusty what to conceive most this iTwinge. Mostly I can’t amount discover if it’s dopy or foregather stark retarded.

Yeah, you capableness identify a diminutive faster, but whenever you poverty to ingest your good for some another function, you’re feat to effect to end the iTwinge and place it somewhere. Seriously, if you’re that afraid most somatosense feedback, foregather go impart a Blackberry or something. This example of fling module ordered you backwards $30, nonnegative your dignity.

Gurus develop way to shrink atomic clock… with lasers

The world’s most accurate clocks got even more accurate just a few years back, but now a team from the University of Nevada in Reno is looking to make the atomic clock way, way smaller. Housed at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) in Boulder, Colorado, these so-called “fountain clocks” send out clouds of caesium atoms through a vacuum chamber in a magnetic field; from there, microwaves in the chamber excite the atoms and then emit light as they drop to a lower hyperfine state. All that rocket science aside, the real point here is that all that magic requires a chassis about the size of a modern day refrigerator. Andrei Derevianko and Kyle Beloy have conjured up the idea of “trapping atoms in place using lasers,” which would obviously require far less space for the time telling to happen. Just think — a chicken in every pot and an atomic clock on every wrist.

3DFusion debuts glasses-free 3DFMax display

Forget all those 1080p sets with internet connectivity — what you really want is an HDTV that does three-dee. Over at the Digital Signage Expo in Las Vegas, 3DFusion has announced the market launch of its 3DFMax stereoscopic, glasses free, broadcast ready (get all that?) 3D display. The set is built upon the Philips WOWvx 3D solution, but outside of that, we’re really left to wonder what this thing’s made of. No resolution, no contrast ratio, no price. Just the hope of a chicken in every pot and a 3D HDTV in every den.

Thermador Masterpiece Series Induction Cooktops Come With Overflow Protection

Thermador 36 Inch Masterpiece Induction Cooktop (Image courtesy Thermador)
By Andrew Liszewski

I won’t argue that cooking with fire isn’t all kinds of fun, but when it comes to cooking in an indoor setting, like say… the kitchen, I’m a big fan of these new-fangled induction cooktops. Not only do they heat up pots and pans quicker than a conventional electrical element can, but the rest of the cooking surface stays cool to the touch which means you’re far less likely to get a nasty burn.

They’re also about a *million (*as guesstimated by me) times easier to clean up after a spill or boil-over, but even that could be a thing of the past thanks to Thermador’s Masterpiece Series induction cooktops. They come with a built-in anti-overflow system that prevents spills by automatically shutting off the induction coil and sounding an alarm if liquids are detected on the cooktop surface. Now technically the pot actually has to boil-over for the system to be triggered, so it doesn’t necessarily ‘prevent’ that from happening, but for cooks like me who like to start boiling a big pot of stuff and then watch a couple of movies or go to sleep for the night, it could make the inevitable cleanup a lot easier. Thanks Thermador!

Intel, Adobe plan a chicken in every pot, Flash on every HDTV


Intel’s been talking up the CE 3100 (née Canmore) processor for quite some time now, and with Adobe as its newest partner — late again Yahoo? — pushing HD Flash streams to Internet connected TV’s and set-top boxes. Frankly, we’ve already gotten quite used to YouTube and other online video access in the living room, but with the first Flash Lite-enabled system-on-a-chip due by mid-2009 and everyone and their mom watching TV on Hulu this could be the push that takes online video to the TV mainstream. Still, Intel must know that only Flash support so 2008, we’ll be expecting more widgets to come.

Dell VP criticizes Apple’s ‘green’ initiatives, pot and kettle laugh in unison


Dell VP of Communities and Conversations Bob Pearson is ragging on Apple for its MacBook “Greenest Family of Notebooks” ads. In a post titled “The Real Meaning of Being Green,” Pearson accuses Apple of not discussing environmental issues, making inaccurate claims and stating no goals, while touting Dell’s energy efficient Latitude E-series and use of PVC / BFR-free components. Of course, the PC maker has had its fair share of eco-unfriendly practices over the years, including accusations from the ever-fickle Greenpeace last month that the company has withdrawn from its commitment to stop using PVC / BFR in its computers by the end of 2009 — but why let little details get in the way of a good schoolyard fight?
