The MacBook Pro, long been described as the "quintessential professional notebook" by Apple, has just received a hardware upgrade over at wWDC 2012. Just what kind of superior hardware are we looking at? Well, the 13-inch MacBook Pro will come with the latest Intel Core i5 or Core i7 dual-core processors of up to 2.9 GHz with Turbo Boost speeds up to 3.6 GHz, while those who opt for the larger sized 15-inch MacBook Pro will be able to enjoy the benefits of the latest Intel Core i7 quad-core processors up to 2.7 GHz with Turbo Boost speeds up to 3.7 GHz and NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M discrete graphics. For starters, both the 13-inch and 15-inch MacBook Pro will come with the possibility of you throwing in a 1TB hard drive, or to enjoy the speeds of SSDs of up to 512GB – which is half the hard drive size, in addition to being up to to twice as fast as the previous generation. Not only that, you also have a high-speed Thunderbolt port and a couple of USB 3.0 ports to help you hook things up in a jiffy, regardless of connectivity affiliation. The 13-inch and 15-inch MacBook Pro models are said to come with up to 7 hours of wireless battery life. They will also ship with OS X Lion, and those who purchase the new MacBook Pro from today onwards will be eligible for a free copy of OS X Mountain Lion when it becomes available. Prices for the 13-inch MacBook Pro starts from $1,199 onwards, while the 2.9GHz dual-core Intel Core i7 processor, 8GB of memory and 750GB hard drive configuration will cost you $1,499. Those who want the 15-inch MacBook Pro will be able to pic one up from $1,799 all the way to $2,199, depending on the configuration. [ MacBook Pro gets refreshed copyright by Coolest Gadgets ]

Needless to say, not new hardware is worth announcing unless it comes with updated hardware, and I am quite sure fans of the MacBook Air line will not be disappointed to hear that there will be Ivy Bridge processors running underneath the hood, with the most powerful processor option available to the masses being the 2GHz dual-core i7 processor. Not only that, it will come with up to 8GB of 1600MHz RAM to keep your processor company, in addition to an integrated graphics chipset that is said to be up to "60% faster” than its predecessor. Sounds good? Let us dive into the other details right after the jump. 512GB of flash memory has been thrown into the mix, clearly making this one feature that might just make fence sitters like me take the plunge. After all, it will clearly dent the chances of Ultrabooks to make it big this year, since the asking price of $999 for the entry level model as well as $1,099 for the model with a faster processor will clearly make the new MacBook Air a highly attractive proposition. Another thing that clearly upped the ante for the MacBook Air would be the inclusion of not one, but two USB 3.0 ports. This would mean apart from half a terabyte of storage space, you will now be able to enjoy USB 3.0 connectivity – and that means cheaper external hard drives that have flooded the market in recent times with this particular connection. Other hardware specifications include a 720p FaceTime HD camera. The 11″ model comes with a similar 1366 x 768 resolution for its display, while the 13″ model, too, will not be any different, maintaining a similar resolution count of 1440 x 900 pixels, although it will be $100 cheaper than the current model. If you are interested, both 2012 MacBook Air models will start to ship today. [ New MacBook Air announced copyright by Coolest Gadgets ]

| Guitar Pee urinal makes all that pent up urine worth it Posted: 11 Jun 2012 06:00 AM PDT
Created by Billboard Brasil, it has been described as an electric guitar/amplifier/urinal, and it will start to be implemented across Sao Paulo’s many drinking establishments. All you need to do is make sure you drink more than your fair share of liquids, and pick out the Guitar Pee urinal of your choice, before you let loose to trigger electric guitar solos that might even make Slash blush. Will the ladies start to feel jealous of our equipment as well as the kinds of games we can play in the toilet? Perhaps someone can come up with a game for the ladies as well..

| Kaos Cyclops Water Balloon Launcher Posted: 11 Jun 2012 05:30 AM PDT
Each purchase will come with 50 biodegradable water balloons to get you started right off the bat, and you need not worry about those balloons remaining around for thousands of years after you end up as worm food, as they will biodegrade accordingly. If you have a handful of kids around, then it would be best to purchase a few of these to make sure everyone does not complain to their parents that Uncle Jim from down the road bullies children.

Boasting a classic ruffled red awning, the cart’s electric grinder is able to churn out up to 500 lbs. of finely granulated ice per hour from standard issue household ice cubes. It will also come with an ice scoop and tray that paves the way for you to produce up to eight snow cones at a time. Your guests will then have to apply their own measure of flavored syrup from one of the three dispensers, making it ideal for single or multi-flavored concoctions thanks to the one-gallon syrup containers of cherry, grape, blue raspberry, lemon-lime, or orange that has been included for good measure. I suppose if you are going to throw a party like a boss, this is a good way of doing so. [ Classic Snow Cone Cart copyright by Coolest Gadgets ]

WWDC 2012 might be a developer’s conference, but it is still a very good reason to celebrate the release of new hardware. Granted, you will not see a new iPhone 5 (or whatever else it is meant to be called) arrive, but then again, Apple is not made up of just the iPhone or the iPad, and have a slew of desktops and notebooks as well to make sure it gets easier to part with your hard earned money, no thanks to their stunning industrial design as a major pull factor, in addition to solid software to back up the easy-to-use hardware.
If there ever was a game changing notebook, you can say that the MacBook Air nailed it down right. After all, in the age where netbooks did not really take off due to their limited processing power and super small displays that made it more or less impractical to do serious work, Apple came out with the MacBook Air, and boy, did that piece of hardware take the world by storm. The new MacBook Air was just announced at WWDC 2012 this morning, and what kind of goodness are we looking at?
It would be an understatement to say that the iPhone changed the way we looked at and used phones – after all, full touchscreen smartphones never really caught on with the masses until Apple introduced their game changer 5 years ago. Well, some are still resistant to the idea, and decided to stick to a QWERTY keyboard on their handsets instead, although such phone models are slowly but surely getting fewer in number. Tactus Display might want to change things by introducing a touchscreen display that actually morphs from a numeric dialpad into a QWERTY keyboard, ensuring that fans of either side of the divide are able to get their input format of choice – you can either go touch, or physical. It would be interesting to see just when Tactus Display will introduce this technology into modern day smartphones, giving the choice back to consumers instead of dictating trends for them. According to Tactus Display, their technology will see action in real world products from next year onwards, so we intend to keep a keen eye peeled out for this when it happens.
Who would have thought that men could have more fun than they originally envisioned in the toilet? Sure, our queues at the loo are far shorter than the ladies at crowded social events, especially after it has ended, since we tend to perform our “business transactions” faster. Well, here is a novel take on how you are going to let loose that stream of rage the next time you have had one too many drinks – the Guitar Pee urinal will let you play your own tune while you take a leak. 
Yes, instead of letting your kids spend all of their waking time cooped up indoors, how about introducing them to something different? This is where the 
For those of you living in the northern hemisphere, you know something big’s coming your way – and I am not talking about an economic bailout for your country, and neither am I saying that you are going to win the Euro 2012 Championship (for folks in Europe, anyways). Summer – a season that makes it such a joy to go outdoors, spending time with your family in near perfect weather, as you experience longer days and shorter nights, in addition to having all sorts of summer fare on the silver screen to keep you entertained. How about making sure you too, can cool down with some ice cream?
