Cool Star Wars Toy

If you are a Star Wars fans, here's a cool Star Wars toy that you may add to your collection -- Transforming Death Star, a 11" tall Darth Vader toy that is transformable to a 6" Death Star.


The transformable feature is not the only cool stuff for this toy. The sound effects and the lights will fascinate you. For example, the deep Vader breathing sound is one of the coolest effects from this toy. Try calling one of your friend and let her listen to the Vader breathing sound effect on the phone, and see what happen.. (for better result, call a girl's friend :))). No other Star Wars toy is capable of doing that :P.

Another cool feature is that it can detect which weapon is being equipped on his right hand, and adapt the sound effect accordingly. That's so cool isn't it? And there are bonuses that come with this cool Star Wars toy: mini figures which include a small Vader, three stormtroopers, and three Mini Tie Fighters. An absolutely cool stuff that's worth collecting for Star Wars fans.

Cool Gadgets For Valentine's Day Gifts

Flowers and chocolates are sweet. But they do not last long. So instead of flowers or chocolates, why not give something that last longer on this valentine's day.. a useful cool gadget would be a good choice. Considering the fact that flowers and chocolates are the the most common type of valentine gifts that girls receive all the time, there are high chances that they feel more excited when they receive a cool gadget as valentine gift.

But gadgets are expensive, aren't they? Not exactly. Here's an article from Retrovo that highlights some possible electronic gifts for the Valentines: Best Valentine's Day Gadget Gifts. The gadget with lowest price is only $16 (a digital photo keychain - Coby DP 151). And it can be a great surprise for her if you put in some old photos with sweet memories together into the photo keychain. Of course if you would like to spend more money to impress your girl friend, get an Apple Macbook Air for her. There's no need to do anything extra, like you would have done for Coby DP 151.. and she will still be very impressed :P.

Apple iPod with engraving is also another great choice. Read my previous post about cool iPod stuff for Valentine's day.. Or if your girl friend is one of those who has a very bad sense of direction, Garmin Forerunner 205 is a GPS device that she can wear like a wristwatch.

While the article highlights a few electronic gadgets which could be great choices for Valentine's day gifts, there are certainly more choices than that. You may also check out my previous post on Cool Christmas Gifts 2008, or use Google search to get more ideas.

Cool Stuff For iPod Touch

IPod touch is cool. It is the first iPod model that integrates the revolutionary multi-touch interface. Besides listening to music and watching video, there are lots of cool stuff that we can do with an iPod touch.

Check out this video for a short introduction about the cool features of iPod touch.


Besides the standard features from Apple, there are lots of talented people out there who continue to develop more cool stuff for the iPod touch. One example is the VoIP on iPod Touch feature which makes it possible for you to make phone call on an iPod touch through VoIP. With this feature added, your iPod touch will work just like an iPhone!

Also, check out the virtual guitar on iPod touch / iPhone:



Freaking cool, right? This wouldn't be possible without the multi touch screen technology from Apple. A breakthrough in touch screen technology..
It's not so practical though to play guitar on a small device like iPod Touch :P

Then there's this cool application for iPod Touch called iPhysic:

Cool stuff, isn't it? And here's another video that explain in more details about what you can do with iPhysic and how to get it installed.


Moving on to the next cool stuff for ipod touch, this guy is integrating his iPod Touch to the sound and video system in his car.

I think this is really cool, but I do hope that he does not really use it to watch movie while he's driving :P.

And finally, this video shows some really useful and cool accessories for iPod Touch:

(Update: I found this website with lots of latest info on cool iPod touch case and accessories. Check it out! :) )

These are all really cool stuff for iPod touch.. and I am sure there are more of them. If you know any cool stuff related to iPod touch, feel free to frop a comment and share with us! :)

Mugen Puti Puti ~ Cool Toy

Popping the bubble wrap is one of my "hobby" during the childhood.. and I believe many people have the same hobby.. It's just human nature that we all love to squeeze the bubble wrap and listen to the pop sound :P .

Because of this "hobby" that we all have, Bandai has come out with this little cool stuff called Mugen Puti Puti. It's a rubber-covered keychain, with some small buttons on it, that when pushed mimic the experience of popping bubble wrap. The popping sound comes from a tiny speaker in the keychain. What makes it even cooler is that for every 100 pops, it will produce an unexpected sound effect such as dog barking, fart, sexy woman voice, etc...

300,000 unit of Mugen Puti Puti was sold within the first 9 days after it was released in Japan, and Bandai is projecting to sell more than 2 million units by March 2008. It will soon becomes another popular cool toy, just like tamagochi..

Carl Zeiss Cinemizer - Cool iPod Accessory

Check out this really cool iPod accessory - the Cinemizer from Carl Zeiss. It's a pair of goggle-like glasses that let us watch movies stored on our iPod anywhere.

"Zeiss promises unparalleled image quality in video eyewear on an imaginary screen with a 45 inches (115cm) diagonal at a distance of 78 inches (2 meters). The video glasses feature integrated headsets and are designed by the people at Frog Design. A wired remote control lets you play, stop and pause the video. The battery of the video glasses is integrated in the iPod dock.
Besides the iPod, other video sources can be connected via the available video-In. The LCD screens used in the Cinemizer have each VGA resolution."

Cool stuff, isn't it? A breakthrough of the iPod accessories, I would say. The only drawback is the price: Zeiss will sell Cinemizer for €369 in Europe through Gravis stores, with a projected $399 asking price in the United States. This is significantly higher than other major competing iPod products. It's a cool but expensive stuff. :P

Toyota Robot Playing Violin

With its advance technology, Toyota has produced a robot that is able to play Violin, and sign autograph. These actions might seem simple, but it requires high level of mechanical and electrical control for a robot to achieve. The robot, which is 1.5m tall and weigh 56kg, has 17 joints on both its hands and arms, making it possible to achieve vibrato on a violin similar to that created by humans. Watch this video:

Look at the cellphone in the picture.. does it remind you of the old brick-style cell phones? Well, it actually measures only 11 cm in height and 3.5 cm in depth. So it's a mini version of the old classic block phone. Cool, huh? Unfortunately, it's currently available in Europe only.

Hello Kitty Digital Camera

Besides the Hello Kitty cellphone, here's another cool stuff for Hello Kitty's fan -- the Hello Kitty digital camera. Selling at the price of 26,040 yen (around $230), the features of this camera includes: 5 meagapixel resolution, handshaking correction, and the Hello Kitty face will blush when you press the shutter button. I would expect the users of this camera will not care much about the camera's features as they will most probably consist of kids below 10.

Eye Power - Heal Eyesight Yourself

With Eye Power, you can heal your eyesight by yourself. No operation needed. Just place the device in front of your eye for 10 minutes, and the it will send ultrasonic wave to correct your eyesight to perfect 20/20 health.

You might want to try this device only after it has gone through proper scientific testing, and proven to be safe.

Human Slinky

One of the reader left a comment on this blog that lead me to an Ebay page that's selling something called Human Slinky for.. $800,000!?? That's expensive.. and I have totally no idea what a Human Slinky is. Out of curiosity, I Googled the word 'Human Slinky', and here's what I got:



Those from United States might have already seen Human Slinky before.. it's on America's Got Talent 2007:



Wow.. that's really creative.. but I doubt that anyone will actually want to buy that thing for $800,000. Even with the Human Slinky costume, I guess it's not easy to perform all those actions shown in the video.

TwistaLamp

Here's a cool stuff that you can use to decorate your room/office -- the TwistaLamp.




TwistaLamp is a hand-cast resin bricks that can be connected in a variety of configurations. Each brick has four connectors that let you link up to another brick, and you can link up to as many as 24 bricks. This can be really cool if you have the creativity to connect them in a crative way.

The Coolest CPU Casing

Which is the coolest CPU casing that you have ever seen? How about this one?





The creator of this casing is Pete Edge. He used 3 weeks of his lunch hour to complete the "casefancasefancase" (that's how he call it :))).. and it's actually working. Wonder how's the performance of casefancasefancase? Here's the result from Pete Edge's experiment:

"The main difference between the casefancasefancase and any normal case is the system or mainboard temperature. After prolonged use it remains pretty constant at about 23-24 degrees Centigrade.

The CPU temp is not as greatly affected, basically because I am using the standard fan/heatsink supplied with the CPU. If I was to shell out for something with big copper fins on it I'd probably notice a difference."

Now, who dare to say his CPU casing is cooler than casefancasefancase? :))
