"If you think that you need a piece of mind, this gadget is a must for you. A solar battery charger for your cellphone. It comes from Japan.
This little cell phone strap from Strap-Ya is actually a small solar cell that can store energy and charge your phone. It can be charged up to 500 times–and if it’s cloudy, three hours on an AC adapter will give you a backup battery anyway.
The solar charger even comes with an AC adapter that allows it to be charged up and used as a spare battery. This Read more [...]
Invisibility App For iPad 2!
"Give your iPad 2 the stunning illusion of invisibility. Its screen can behave like transparent glass. As you move your iPad, you and your friends will swear you're seeing through it to a table top or floor underneath, or even into a fanciful virtual world."
99 cents — "because invisibilty — unlike information* — doesn't want to be free." [Book Of Joe]

Stuttgart City Library
"The city of Stuttgart, Germany has officially opened a marvelous new media center, the Stuttgart City Library. This cavernous white wonder is unobtrusive in design, where the books and visitors provide the color to an otherwise neutral environment. The visual center of the Stuttgart City Library is its grand atrium, a five-story open chamber that feels like the work of a modernist MC Esher. The interior is bright without direct lighting, it is warm without paint color and intimate yet open. Read more [...]
World’s Fastest Micromouse Robot!
One year ago, we got super excited when a micromouse managed to negotiate a maze in under five seconds. At the 2011 All Japan Micromouse Robot Competition in Tsukuba, the micromouse pictured above shaved an entire second off of that time, completing the maze in a scant 3.921 seconds. That's fast.
This robot, called Min7.1, was designed by Ng Beng Kiat. It has a top speed of just over 12 kph, which is wicked quick for something that's 10 cm long and weighs only 90 grams. Of course, the Read more [...]

Gadget Locator, The Smart Finder!
"People lose stuff and the time then spent umpteen hours searching for their misplaced treasures. To prevent this from happening in the future, might you consider investing in the Smart Finder? It consists of a small remote control-like device and little color-coded receivers. Basically, you lose your junk, hit the button on the remote and it guides you to your wares, provided it's within 25 meters (82 feet) of your current location. Yawn.
We picked up on a similar product earlier in the year Read more [...]

Honda’s Asimo Humanoid Robot in Action!
The latest version of the Asimo robot can run, find it's way through a crowd and even pour a drink.
Honda's demonstration of the revamped "Asimo" at its Tokyo suburban research facility was not only to prove that the bubble-headed childlike machine was more limber and a bit smarter. It was a way to try to answer some critics that Asimo, first shown in 2000, had been of little practical use so far, proving to be nothing more than a glorified toy and cute showcase for the Honda Motor Co. brand.

When chipset factories resemble chipsets!
Above, an aerial photo of flooded factories in Pathum Thani Province outside Bangkok taken last month.
The picture appeared in yesterday's New York Times.
I was struck by by how much the pattern of buildings resembles that of computer chipsets on motherboards.
