Doxie scanner has started to ship Posted: 15 Apr 2010 04:45 PM PDT
Boasting a lightweight, portable design that was built for scanning anywhere, the Doxie scanner is a USB-powered device that has great software as well – it allows you to scan paper directly to PCs, Macs, and web apps like Google Docs, Evernote, Acrobat, and Flickr, ensuring that you will be impressed each time you see “magic” happen right in front of you. For frequent travelers, the Doxie won’t slow you down since it is ultra-light at 10.9 ounces, and requires but a single connection to scan with any PC or Mac since you don’t need to worry about toting around another external power supply. Doxie will scan documents in full color at up to 600 dpi courtesy of its patented scanning technology. Using it is also a snap – all you need to do is press the Doxie Heart Button and it will start scanning automatically. Among the many features available with each Doxie include :-

The Winscape gives you a unique view, electronically Posted: 15 Apr 2010 04:42 PM PDT Here’s an interesting project that you can do with plasma TVs, a Wiimote, an iPhone, and some sort of computer of some sort. After all, all of us want some sort of house with a terrific view. The example that you see in the picture is of the Golden Gate bridge, but what makes it different than say, posters, is that you can walk around this thing and it will look like you’re walking around a real window with the real view. There is a video of it after the jump if you want to see it work. The plasma TV sets that provide the view have a computer behind them that are synced with a Wiimote that you can see in between the plasmas. This Wiimote can be synced with another smaller computer that you can see on a baby in the video. When this small computer is moved around, it will change the view of the windows. By the way, you can change the views to pretty much anything you want. So if you want to see a shark tank, you can do that. However, you have to have the footage adjusted so it will adjust with the set-up here. All in all, I could use one of those things. All I got for a view of my place is my neighbor’s place, and it doesn’t look as pretty as the Golden Gate bridge.

BeoLab 11 subwoofer from Bang & Olufsen Posted: 15 Apr 2010 04:37 PM PDT
You can place the BeoLab 11 on the floor, in a corner or even mount it on a wall – something that was previously unheard of, but made possible now thanks to the unique acoustic design. The fact that it has minimal vibrations makes it one of the very few subwoofers in the world which can be mounted on the wall. Of course, it goes a long way to boast a design that you can be proud of, which means you won’t mind making sure that visitors to your home will be able to catch a glimpse of what the BeoLab 11 offers, instead of keeping it well hidden and out of sight from humans. BeoLab 11 is capable of delivering enhanced sound experience and outstanding acoustic performance, providing a significant addition to the bass experience in any small to medium loudspeaker setup, while including low frequencies from 300 Hz and below. It comprises of a couple of identical loudspeaker cabinets, with baffles facing each other. Aluminum is the material of choice for its outer shells, where you can choose from either silver or white colors to adorn your living room. The entire concept is based on a couple of 6½" drivers with electronics, ensuring that the BeoLab 11 fully active and suited for both Bang & Olufsen and third party applications. No idea on pricing, but you can bet your bottom dollar this is going to be expensive when available!

Posted: 15 Apr 2010 04:30 PM PDT There is a proper way to do everything, and all of those also include the use of proper tools. When it comes to eating spaghetti, most kids are taught right from the start to twirl their forks in a clockwise manner (of course, anti-clockwise works as well if you are left handed or simply want to go against convention) in order to roll up their spaghetti into a manageable ball before eating. If you happen to want to conserve all your calories for other more important tasks while having spaghetti, how about the $12 Twirling Spaghetti Fork? This will do the job for you without you having to exercise that hand of yours, save for turning the On/Off button to kickstart the twirling action.

Posted: 15 Apr 2010 04:25 PM PDT Who says you cannot be a bad guy and yet have fun? The Romulan Corkscrew is evidence of that, as you down bottle after bottle of Romulan ale, using this lovely chrome and steel corkscrew which is shaped after a Romulan Raptop starship. Bear in mind that this is a ThinkGeek exclusive and is also officially licensed, so you can be sure that no Trekkie is going to pooh-pooh you for using some form of fake merchandise. Great for piercing open bottles of wine and beer. You can satiate your thirst for alcohol with this $19.99 Romulan corkscrew. Tech Cult – We cover the latest tech news, but always with a funny twist.

13 Tech Design Microsoft Method All-In-One Posted: 15 Apr 2010 04:11 PM PDT I like concept technology as much as the next guy, and I love to see renderings of what could be the next “game-changing” gadget. The problem is when the source for this gadget is a website with nothing but renderings of neat stuff. The supposed All-in-one from Microsoft. You know, it is one thing when you make a rendering of a product, and it is another game when you put someone else’s corporate logo on it. Then again, this all in one is suppose to be some sort of Microsoft Surface, then an architect’s drafting board, then some sort of presentation slab of some type. I have included a video of it after the jump so you can see it and possibly be amazed. I suppose that since Surface is Microsoft technology, then you might have to put the Microsoft label on it. As far as I know, only Microsoft makes the Surface, and it could be copyrighted technology. You might note that the icons on the side of it included Xbox Cloud. So, I guess we can play games on this thing too. All in all, I think that this particular item is all kinds of nifty, and I wouldn’t mind if every classroom had at least one or two of these guys. The Surface could help with some hands on learning, and the display could be very interactive. Tech Cult – We cover the latest tech news, but always with a funny twist.

Honda electric scooter EV-neo coming to Japan Posted: 15 Apr 2010 03:46 PM PDT This is the electric scooter, or e-scooter, from Honda known as the EV-neo. This is a vehicle that is more green than grass. The main selling point is it allows the user to recharge the battery from ordinary household power outlets. That is good enough for about 30 km on the road, for a single charge. The battery is a lithium ion battery from Toshiba, and it takes about 20 mintes to charge the battery to eighty percent capacity using a 200 Volt power source. According to my source, it is the equivalent of a 50cc gas-powered motorcycle. So essentially, what you are looking at is a electric scooter that you can cruise as far as you want, but you had better make certain that you stop every half-hour and power up from an ordinary outlet. Granted, I’m not certain if you are going to find an outlet that they will let you use at a gas station, but who knows? Yes, I’m looking forward to the days when all of us have electric vehicles, and just park at the service station and go in for a recharge. However, we probably need to improve on the charging rates. Stopping every 30 minutes or so to charge every 30 kilometers seems too slow for me. Honda plans putting on the EV-neo in Japan in December this year. We’ll see how this goes.

Posted: 15 Apr 2010 03:30 PM PDT Instead of just being the adventurous type, be the adventurous type that forces everyone to watch videos of you bouncing down the mountainside on your bicycle. This X170 sports cam is the perfect way to film every single one of your action moves. It comes with all sorts of ways to attach it to just about anything. The camera itself records directly onto an SD card, plus it has a 1.5 inch screen that allows for easy playback. The lens is wide angle and records at 720 by 480 pixels at 30fps. As far as the mounting goes it includes a helmet-grip, head-strap, goggle and handlebar mounts, then finally your average Velcro strap for anything else. The battery life is pretty weak, it only runs for an hour on the AA batteries. Since they are just normal batteries, you could always just carry around some spares. You can purchase one of these for $200 through Drift Innovation. Source: GadgetLab Tech Cult – We cover the latest tech news, but always with a funny twist.

Posted: 15 Apr 2010 02:30 PM PDT Neat and tidy isn’t something that generally occurs when it comes to gaming. I’m not saying that all gamers are sloppy, it’s that everything involves wires dangling, plus many different controllers and games. If you’re hoping to control some of that gaming clutter, then you might take a look at the Power Pyramid Supreme. Despite the polished high end look, it isn’t just a concept design. It’s up for purchase and it’s even somewhat affordable. The device can hold as well as charge up to 4 different PS3 and Xbox controllers at a time. To help you figure out whether they’re ready to be used there are LED lights. When the lights are red, your controllers are still charging. Then when it shows blue, they have a full charge. The charger itself uses an AC adaptor, that is included. You can purchase it for $54.99 through Konnet. Source: ChipChick Coolest Gadgets UK – For all your UK centric tech and gadget news.

Halo Headphones for sleep and exercise Posted: 15 Apr 2010 01:56 PM PDT Those of you that don’t feel comfortable working out or sleeping in normal earphones or headphones have another option. Instead of just dealing with the discomfort or having to shift them while you’re working out, you could wear some of these Halo Headphones. They quite possibly have the cheesiest slogan out there, but at least they make listening to music comfortable. Seriously, it’s "Halo are the most heavenly headphones available on planet Earth." I told you it was bad. The nice change with the headphones is that the speakers are not fixed in place, so if you feel the need to shift them for your own comfort, you can. Plus it’ll make washing the headband actually possible. To purchase one of these it’ll cost you $54.90 AUD through Halo.
