Also, the design and accompanying ear adaptor accessories allow for the best possible attenuation. The high end IE 80 model is capable of achieving a noise attenuation of up to 26 dB, where both earphones will see action for monitoring purposes, making it the ideal companion for MP3 players, portable media players and smartphones. As for the IE 60, this particular model will deliver high-resolution sound with excellent bass reproduction, being positively skewed towards modern pop and rock music by boasting impressive precision and high-resolution bass reproduction. Capable of passive noise attenuation of up to 20 dB, coupled with a frequency response of 10 to 18,000 Hz, the IE 60 will boast of luxurious brass accents which contrast the matte-black finish of the earphones.

Wearable Neck Or Upper Back Heating Pad Posted: 19 Dec 2011 07:09 AM PST Brrrr! The chilly winter has certainly got to our bones, and we are not too thrilled with the ever increasing amounts of money that we need to fork out to keep ourselves warm when the mercury drops.

Phosphor World Time Sport Watch Posted: 19 Dec 2011 06:30 AM PST This is the World Time Sport from Phosphor watches, and it has an E INK display. I am assuming that this makes it unique, but one of the things that I think make it unique is that there are no buttons. In the place of buttons are finger swipes that I found quite difficult to work. Seriously, I finally figured out that one is for switching of modes and another is for actually switching the numbers of date, time, and time zone. Seriously, it took me a while to figure it out, which is the only bad thing I have to say about the product. The World Time Sport offers the ability to select from 24 time zones for one display mode, while optionally displaying the second time zone simultaneously. The dual time zone display can also be made to display the time of day, or both the date and time in either big or little numbers. As for the watch itself, it is a pretty thin 9.3 mm. It also has a curved shape that looks ergonomically created for a wrist unlike other flat-back watches. You should be able to get the World Time Sport Watch on the Phosphor watch site for about $99.95 in black, white, and orange. Coolest Gadgets UK – For all your UK centric tech and gadget news.

Posted: 19 Dec 2011 06:29 AM PST Can’t get enough of Portal 2? Well, you might want to check out a technologically advanced tablet known as the iPad 2, and have it go along with the $29.99 Portal 2 Aperture iPad Sleeve to boot. Yes sir, this is an officially licensed Portal 2 product, and it will play nice with both the iPad and the iPad 2. Available in an orange color to match Chell’s jumpsuit, it makes perfect sense to protect your iPad or iPad 2 against any damage, since you will need to return it after testing – or touch wood, you meet your Maker due to an accident, at least keeping the Apple tablet safe from knocks and scratches makes perfect sense. There are also black and white details thrown into the mix, including the Aperture Laboratories logo so that everyone around you would know what a huge fanboy you are. A rubberized grommet is also included so that you can snake your headphone cord through in order to listen to your favorite MP3s while working.

BlueSeed’s Floating City is made for business Posted: 19 Dec 2011 06:15 AM PST When I first saw this, I thought that someone was trying to build some sort of floating country. Personally, I think we need more of them before the Earth gets into Soylent Green territory. The purpose of this boat isn’t to alleviate overpopulation, but to help businesses. This boat is under development by a startup company known as Blueseed, and its purpose is to house businesses off the coast of California (near Silicon Valley, to be exact). The boat would be docked 12 miles southwest of San Francisco Bay, in international waters. It can house about 1,000 people, who can start their businesses there, and then, when the time is right, they can move their businesses right into Silicon Valley. There is a news report after the jump if you want to hear more about it. By the way, this giant boat will be accessible by ferry and helicopter. It looks like it has all the comforts of home, including some serious greenery. Blueseed is currently looking for investors for this boat, and they intend to start construction on it sometime next year. I wonder how long it will actually take to actually build this beautiful boat, and how much it would cost to live on it? Conference Calendar – The global conference and expo finder.
