By Chris histrion Barr

PC gamers much as myself are ever bounteous on customizing our keyboards and mice. Generally that effectuation function keys to limited functions and adjusting the sense of the mouse. However, when presented the ability, we fuck to avow the customization to a higher level. In the instance we’ve seen mice that effect adjustable weights, which crapper attain a difference.  However, Mad Catz has raised the oppose when it comes to pussyfoot customization with their infant distinction of Cyborg R.A.T. mice.

The Cyborg R.A.T pussyfoot is digit of the craziest hunting peripherals that I’ve seen. At prototypal glance, it does not countenance aforementioned something that would be cushy at all.

Unfortunately those resolutions are mostly predetermined, with perhaps exclusive digit of them actually cosmos of ingest to you. With the R.A.T. you crapper actually information what apiece of those settings are, allowing apiece of them to be useful. You’ll also encounter a exactitude ameliorate on the side. This is for those nowadays where you effect your pussyfoot ordered to a broad DPI, but domain to be extremely accurate. As daylong as you’re holding downbound the button, your DPI is dropped artefact down, allowing you to pore on exclusive a diminutive area. Once you promulgation the button, it goes backwards to normal.

The R.A.T. program currently multiple assorted models. The R.A.T. 9 includes every of the features and is wireless, patch apiece of the add models recap digit or digit along the way. Prices move at $129 and impact their artefact downbound to $49, so there is a help for every budgets.

Juice Boxes With Realistic Fruit Skin Textures

Juice Boxes (Images courtesy Toxel.com)
By Andrew Liszewski

Now that I think of it, I haven’t had a juice box in years, but if I were to find one on a store shelf that was packaged like these, how could I pass it up? Created by Japanese industrial designer Naoto Fukasawa, the juice box’s packaging is supposed to be more appealing to the eye by imitating the actual fruit they contain. As Naoto puts it; “I imagined that if the surface of the package imitated the colour and texture of the fruit skin, then the object would reproduce the feeling of the real skin.” If anything, the novelty factor is through the roof, and on a side note, is there anything more refreshing than a box of banana juice? I don’t think so.

Sony shows that ‘C’ stands for Crocodile with skinned VAIO Type C

Shattering misconceptions that crocodiles only come in various shades of dark, menacing green, Sony has managed to genetically engineer crocs in girly pink, luscious red, and chocolaty brown colors exclusively for the sake of wrapping its CS series VAIO notebooks in organic texture. Mind you, textures are all those crocs sacrificed, as like the company’s earlier Crocodile-themed machines these lappys are still made entirely of plastic and bits of silicon — just grooved and pigmented to look like prehistoric, genetically modified reptiles (check out the detail pic after the break). The crocette devices, which are otherwise identical internally to those sporting myriad of other hues, hit Japan on the 18th for ¥104,800 (just over $1,000), and while Sony hasn’t announced any plans for an international release, we’re thinking if you head on down to Florida you could find yourself a good ‘ol boy who could whip up one of these in no time and make a rib-stickin’ stew with the remains.

NVIDIA Announces GTX 275 for Mid-Range Gamers

nvidiagtx275-sb

by Shane McGlaun

I am a big fan of PC gaming and if you have ever compared graphics on games available on PC and console systems when the PC is well equipped, it is easy to see the graphics on PC are much better. The rub for many PC gamers is that the hardware costs much more than buying a game console. The video cards alone often cast more than an Xbox and a Wii put together.

NVIDIA has announced a new mid-range video card called the GTX 275 that puts good performance into the hands of gamers looking to spend about $250. Sure, that’s still more than a Wii, but you can do so much more on a computer than you can on the Wii. The GTX 275 slots into the lineup between the GTX 260 and GTX 285 in price and performance.

The card offers 240 processing cores running at 1404MHz, 80 texture processing units and a 448-bit memory interface with 896MB framebuffer. The card is NVIDIA PhysX and CUDA compliant and supports Windows 7. NVIDIA 3D Vision stereoscopic gaming is supported as well. The exact availability date isn’t offered, NVIDIA just says that the card will be available on or before April 14.

Rolex Makes Official Time Sand?

By Andrew Liszewski

I guess it makes sense that if an hourglass were to have any chance of accurately providing some measure of time, the sand would have to be of a uniform size, consistency and texture. And if any company on Earth were qualified to produce a sand used for timekeeping, it would be Rolex. A single bag of Time Sand flowing through a standard hourglass is the equivalent of 30 days, and the pallets and pallets of sand you see below represent a generous estimation of an average human lifespan. (81 years)

The pallets of Rolex Time Sand were part of an art installation created by Michael Marcovici who’s also known for an installation where he stacked 10 million $100 US bills on 12 pallets to visually represent what $1,000,000,000 looks like.

Keepin’ it real fake, part CLXXII: QQ spins iriver SPINN into lookalike K819


Man, these guys and gals are quick. Just weeks after we were finally able to hold an iriver SPINN in our own palms, along comes this marvel from China-based QQ. The K819 unashamedly apes the most telling design characteristics of iriver’s latest, though the phony does come in multiple hues while boasting “high-grade texture” and oodles of “elegance and style.” To be honest, we’re not so sure any of these images are more than mere renders, though QQ does promise a 3.0-inch WQVGA display, MP4 support and guaranteed humiliation from your pals.
