Projection LCD Clock

This clock hack is a neat idea. Passing light through the LCD allows the clock image to be projected on a wall. To make the project a bit cooler it activates with a remote control. The inspiration was the watch projection clock project. ” This is a clock that projects the time onto the wall of a darkened room whenever any IR remote control (like a TV remote) is pointed

Holo TV

This technology looks great, but does this mean I will have to watch a movie three or four times to see everything? “Invented by Tibor Balogh, these flat panel “holo TVs” are capable of displaying images in 3-D — or so it seems. Peugeot and Reanult are already interested in the product. The smaller 4:3 monitor displays 7.4-megapixels while the 16:9 monitor can display up to 9.8-megapixels, and lastly, the

Two Wheel Mobile NightClub

We all know motorcycles can be real loud. Well this one can compete with the best of them and it skipped a trip to the muffler shop. “This Kawasaki ZX10R is not your standard motorcycle. It has 12 loudspeakers with 1,500 watts of output, two iPod’s (one is never enough), a Sony PSP, a flat screen with DVD and remote control. Are you ready for the best part?…a connection for

You need more protection than just a loud noise. Now you can have protection that really stops thieves. When triggered by its trip line, the AB2000 will discharge 4 ounces of irritating OC

A Rounder Ball For the World Stage

Seems like the sport is turning into a science fair more than a game. “The +Teamgeist (“team spirit”) ball, as the New York Times deftly explained yesterday, was engineered with a “free-flowing” set of 14 pre-shaped panels—fewer than the traditional 32—resulting in a smoother, more consistently round surface that supposedly responds more accurately to the force of a kick. Adidas backs up this claim with its own experimental data, including

The World’s Biggest BlackBerry

I don’t know what the craze about these Blackberries is all about, looks a bit big to me. I will stick to my normal cell phone. “Apparently this BlackBerry resides in the Nextel store at the Las Vegas Convention Center Monorail Station. Of course, only in Vegas would you find something like this. Kind of gives new meaning to the term “mobile device” doesn’t it?”
