| Audio-Technica AT-LP60-USB LP-to-Digital Turntable System Posted: 23 Dec 2009 03:43 PM PST
This is a complete USB turntable and software package which makes it a snap to enjoy listening to records, and not only that, it helps preserve the warmth of such records to to digital media files in order for you to enjoy a portable listening experience while you are on the go with a portable media player of your choice. This device comes with a turntable and phono cartridge, PC- and Mac-compatible software, a USB cable that connects the turntable to a computer directly, an integrated phono preamp and other accessories. You will be able to choose from 33-1/3 and 45 RPM speeds, where its heavy-duty cast aluminum platter, high-quality Dual Magnet stereo cartridge with replaceable stylus, and a pickup arm with soft damping control helps offer unprecedented audio quality with vinyl records. Thanks to the included USB cable which allows plug-and-play connection to a computer as well as its built-in phono preamp, you are able to hook up to a wide variety of home entertainment systems, powered speakers, and to A/V receivers that do not include a phono input. Other accessories included with the AT-LP60-USB are RCA output cables and 3.5mm-to-RCA adapter cables and a dustcover. Software-wise, you get PC- and Mac-compatible Audacity that converts the audio on a record to digital audio files. You can’t get this in time for Christmas though, since it will only hit the market next month onwards for $229, making it a decent candidate for those looking for an early Father’s Day gift.

I’ve never really seen gas cans to be all that attractive, but this one manages to look somewhat stylish. You’ll get to wheel this through the airport feeling unique and suave, up to the point that the authorities have a chat with you due to looking slightly suspicious. Then you’ll get the joy of feeling unique while you get a very thorough and intimate search. Having a GasCase like this, you’d almost feel the urge to fill it with something slightly more interesting than a set of overnight clothes. These come in two different styles, the first is pretty normal, it just splits down the middle like your average suitcase. Then there is the other one with a flip top that is better for larger documents that you really don’t want crushed. These rolling suitcases come in 4 different colors green, yellow, blue and black. You can purchase them for about $140 a piece. Source: CraziestGadgets Tech Cult – We cover the latest tech news, but always with a funny twist. [ The GasCase Suitcase copyright by Coolest Gadgets ]

The colors will morph from one to another from time to time, and it is smart enough to light up automatically whenever you place your poison of choice on top of them. Needless to say, something like this is a bit expensive at £14.95 a pop, but the attention from the masses might be well worth the money.

The toaster is probably one of the most boring gadgets out there, which is probably why designers enjoy altering the classic toaster so much. Well one more designer is trying their hand at changing up the way we use our toasters. This one seems to take its inspiration directly from a printer. Instead of printing out pages though, it spits out fresh toast. It’s be cool if it did actually print something onto the toast, since the design is so similar to a printer. On the top of the toaster you place several different pieces of bread. Then as it toasts the bread it drops them down below in a nice little stack. It’d be great for large families that need a stack of toasted bread in a hurry. So far it is still a concept though.

| Back2Life Continuous Motion Massager Posted: 23 Dec 2009 01:21 PM PST
Back pain is a common complaint, whether you’re getting up there in years or still only in your late 20s, it just happens. Some people are against going to a chiropractor every time they have a back ache. Instead of visiting doctors constantly, you could give this Back2Life Continuous Motion Massager a try. It’s said that it’ll help align your spine and relieve that discomfort and pressure. It works by gently lifting your tailbone and flexing the spine. You use it for 12 minutes in the morning and for the same amount of time at night. It’s a way to relieve your pain without some of the more forceful methods like massages and chiropractors. The device costs $199.95 from Brookstone. At that price I’d be more likely to stick to a few stretches in the morning instead, but if stretches aren’t working anymore it’s a different way to go.

| Toshiba and Electrolux Escargot snail vacuum cleaner Posted: 22 Dec 2009 11:24 PM PST
You got to admire that Toshiba, in a partnership with Electrolux, has created the Escargot, a vacuum that looks like a snail. It’s always good to see a concept device that is “borrowed” from nature. The Escargot rolls up like that slimy gastropod, but it will fit in between the space of the large wheels that make up the Escargot’s “shell”. It weighs about 2.1 kilograms, and it can it can be rolled around or carried with a shoulder strap. My source does not reveal how large this vacuum cleaner is, but if it was as large as a regular vacuum, than it wouldn’t be so compact, would it? Personally, I’m already sold on it just by its shape alone. In fact, I highly recommend that Toshiba paints it in bright colors to look like Gary the snail from Spongebob Squarepants. Yeah, I realize that that is unlikely, because by the time this concept probably sees the light of sales, Spongebob will have been canceled.

This is the MOON AUDIO hovering shelf, and it uses the power of magnetic technology to keep the shelf aloft. You know the laws of attraction that keep two like charges repelling? Well, MOON AUDIO has harnessed it so the magnetic field keeps levitating the shelf without affecting what’s on it. Apparently, this shelf was designed to hold stereo equipment. Now, it certainly doesn’t sound like a valid use of hovering technology, because I would have used it to make, I don’t know, flying vehicles or something. But if you are really into your stereo, then you know how much vibrations can affect your audio performance. With your stereo hovering in air, then it will no longer vibrate against the entertainment center or whatever you have it resting on. Now, I don’t know how much this hovering shelf can lift, and I also don’t know how stable it is. I mean, can I push on it, and will the stereo fall off? Of course, this kind of technology will cost you. How much, do you ask? Let’s talk about $500. For that price, I think I have a good point about better applications of hovering technology.

| Art Lebedev’s See-through Semi-truck Posted: 22 Dec 2009 10:17 PM PST
Art Lebedev has now conceived another idea that will probably very expensive to implement, but very useful. It is called the Transparentius, and it is a Harry Potter spell to turn a truck invisible. Seriously, it actually is a way to put two LCD screens on the back of a semi truck to show what is in front of it. Of course, there would have to be a camera in front of the truck to create this sub-standard invisibility trick. I can see the inspiration for this Transparentius, because we have all been behind a big semi trucks before. They usually move so slow, that we have to pass, but those trucks are massive that we can’t see around them. With these screens on the back, now you see when it is safe to pass. Of course, those screens have to be pretty expensive, and then there is the camera that it feeds to. It could be an easy target for truck-stop robbers. Well, this is still a concept for now, so maybe Mr. Levedev can iron out all the kinks of this device soon. Perhaps LCD screens will be really cheap by then.

If you happen to host plenty of parties over a year, then chances are most of them would be free flowing with booze to keep some guests happy. After all, what’s a party without any tongue-loosening alcohol? Coasters are an important part of any party, being a subtle advertising tool if your beer is sponsored, but if you happen to love being in the center of attention always, how about using these 
Karaoke can be a boon or a bane, depending on who is behind the microphone. Well, if you think that your little one has the potential to take America by storm in American Idol a few years from now, why not start him/her young with the
