I desire I could feature this touchscreen check from Storm author was block flooded of direful features that place add LG’s infant watchphone to shame, but I’m afeard it’s foregather a scheme of call over substance.

It does indeed effect a touchscreen, but tapping on the concealment is exclusive used for change the colored dot-matrix designate between the current time, date, communication settings or a bespoken communication up to 10 letters or characters in length. It does effect a world-time duty though, so if you’re a jet-setter you’ll be flourishing to easily alter the check to digit of the 27 pre-programmed cities around the globe.

It’s currently acquirable on the Storm author website in a grayness closing for ~$227, a antimonial closing for ~$276 or a listing (black) closing for ~$292.

Here’s something interesting, it seems that Energizer is screwing customers who acquire rechargeable D batteries. Specifically, the Energizer E2 D batteries. People effect detected that these batteries seem weaker, and actually physically device than aforementioned batteries. Well upon protector inspection, it is create that they are rated at 2500mAh each, the aforementioned as a accepted AA battery. An cipher single-use D shelling is rated at around 12,000mAh. Guess what that means?

That’s right, if you bout unstoppered digit of these batteries (I don’t commonly propose inaugural batteries, as it’s foregather a clean idea) you’ll encounter a something that resembles a AA shelling exclusive a impressible case. Granted, the appearance is a discernment different, but the noesis is foregather the same. So for $25 you are essentially effort the aforementioned abstract as a $6 change of AA’s and a change of affordable (we’re conversation a change bucks each) AA-to-D converters. For dishonor Energizer, for shame!

Color us intrigued. The gang at SuperSite for Windows have revealed what they know about a pretty awesome Windows 7 feature: XP Mode, a virtualized copy of Windows XP with Service Pack 3. It’ll reportedly be a free download for Professional and Ultimate Edition users, a shame it won’t be coming to all versions. Unlike many other Virtual PC options, the environment won’t require a separate workspace so you can run the individual apps as you would alongside those native to 7 — in the example pictured, that’s Word 2003 in XP mode next to Word 2007. It all sounds vaguely similar to the XP compatibility mode found in Vista, but if we’re understanding this right, XPM should make legacy compatibility much less of a hassle. We haven’t heard any reports of it being found in the leaked Release Candidate build, so if you’re antsy to get a glimpse now, hit up the read link for a gallery.

Not that Fujitsu’s totally new to the netbook arena or anything, but we’ve got to hand it to the outfit’s design team on this one. The newfangled LOOX M netbook is definitely handsome, even though the innards contain a list of hardware components that we could rattle off in our sleep. Ready? Here goes. A 1.6GHz Atom N270 CPU, 1GB of DDR2 RAM, a 160GB hard drive (yawning yet?), WiFi, Bluetooth 2.1 EDR, three USB 2.0 sockets and a multicard reader. If you’re suddenly overcome with déjà vu, you’re definitely not alone — ’tis a shame Fujitsu has the nerve to charge ¥59,800 ($611) for something that’s no more advanced than the original line of Eee PCs.

You’ve seen its introduction, its unboxing — in two different languages, no less — and maybe even fancied the pre-order page. Now Pocketables has what appears to be one of the first full-fledged review of the Viliv S5, and the verdict? It’s quite a sturdy and well-built MID, with surprisingly good battery life and video performance from the Intel Atom Z520 processor (same one as found in the Vaio P). The virtual keyboard leaves a lot to be desired for, and it’s a shame to hear the joystick’s mouse functionality is limited to four directions, but despite these complaints and a $599 price tag, the conclusion is still a overwhelmingly positive for those who like the form factor. Hit up the read link for the full examination.

While those with tens of thousands of dollars to burn can buy themselves a pre-built, space age media pod like the Ovei, the rest of us have to have to either make do with a comfy couch and a darkened room, or improvise, as one enterprising Instructables member did with this so-called Geodesic Media-Pod. Both recession and environmentally-friendly, this contraption is apparently constructed almost entirely out of recycled refrigerator boxes, and it even employs a ventilation system (including parts salvaged from a Shop Vac) to ensure that it stays somewhat comfortable inside. Of course, while it’s partly intended to be used as a flight simulator, there isn’t actually any movement going on, although there are at least accommodations for some surround speakers and, of course, a mount for a monitor. Head on past the break for a video, and hit up the link below for the complete how-to if you’re feeling inspired.

I haven’t been following the DS homebrew scene for a while now, which is a shame, because there were some great applications that made the DS far more than just a handheld gaming device. For example, you can now download a copy of DSTwitter 1.5 from a website called Acdrtux that allows you to stay in touch with your followers in between sessions of Chinatown Wars and Rhythm Heaven. As usual you’ll need a DS homebrew flash cart in order to install and run DSTwitter, as well as an available wifi hotspot, but both of those are pretty easy to come by these days.

It’s nice being clean. It’s a shame, then, that being clean is just so much damn work. Like, you get in the shower, and then you’re supposed to STAND there. Stand! And you have to be rubbing soap on your body and shampoo in your hair, and if you try and do that in opposite directions at the same time, it’ll make you fall over and you’ll crack your head open and die. And that would be bad.

The automatic human washing machine takes most of the dying out of showers by not only giving you the chance to lie down while getting clean, but also by doing all of the actual cleaning for you. You stick yourself inside the washing pod and command it to go, and it will wash you with soap and water, use infrared light to steam heat you, pamper you with sound and aromatherapy, and then finish up with a seaweed wrap and some body lotion. Then you get out, and the machine sterilizes itself to get rid of all the nastiness you left behind.

I have no idea how, or how well, the automatic human washing machine (aka the “Santelubain 999″) actually performs its numerous cleaning tasks, but the website assures us that “the automatic human washing machine has been recognized by various people through coverage by different medias.” Ah, okay, very good then. There’s no price listed, but the company seems interested in OEM resellers.
