Green plug hubs

greenplug.jpg

As much as we loathe the thought of yet another kind of plug, this piece of equipment solves all our problems.The green plug hook's up with anything like Paris Hilton but is also energy efficient like Nicole Ritchie- now thats what i am talking about.The idea behind the green plug's a lot like the energy-saving chip . This has the facility to hook up all the equipments into one place and with a microprocessor chip as multi controller it also efficiently controls the juice transfered to all the equipments and ensures that none is wasted.


Fancy Soccer ball : Saves refs from beating

Hi-tech_football.jpg

In the soccer world what you really do not want to be is a referee especially the one that makes a wrong call . What I mean is that soccer fans are animals. For example Europe has accepted the fact that after every match there will be a set of teenagers roaming the streets just to get their hands on someone and take out all thats bundled up in them for the loss of their favorite team. Just imagine the referee getting caught in their hands . Luckily, there's a fancy new soccer ball that'll take some of the pressure off of refs.

It's loaded up with sensors, and when it passes across the goal line, an encrypted signal is sent to a special watch that the referee is wearing letting him know that the goal is indeed legitimate. Apparently the tech inside isn't so sensitive that it can't be kicked all over the place, and you've got to assume that intercepting the signal wouldn't really be worthwhile, as even if the refs watch goes off when the ball is at mid-field he probably won't call it a goal. And really, this should cut down on violence aimed at refs. After all, beating up a fancy soccer ball can't be nearly as satisfying.

Land Rover: Concept car wit a real cool Concept



We normally don't get super excited about concept cars, but this Land Rover LRX Concept has something we're quite interested in: iPhone integration. Not only does it have a slot carved out especially for the phone that allows it to dock into the car like some sort of brushed-metal lover, it's even got a gigantic "Start" button that appears so you can (we presume) start the car! In addition to this, there's an iPod docking station on either side of the power-adjustable speakers, so you can take even more music on the go.


Now to go a little bit in detail.....
So here is the land rover. This Awesome piece of metal looks blinding. And the interiors well .... they speak for themselves. Take my word for it there is nothing else . once you are seated in the rear you'll feel like you are in a freaking star wars flick and urged to say SHIELDS UP CAPTAIN. For all the remodeling freaks out there (I am one of them). There is a wide variety of stuff you can add on to HER (the car.though it looks totally masculine i feel the real way to respect a car is to give it a dash of feminism.). The LCD dashboard gives a full real time 3D view of the car that is jus so cool. It actually takes you to a new dimension.

Well as for me I am not a very car like person ( I go for bikes - BABE MAGNETS). And concepts are not my thing but seriously the Land rover is one Hell of a car and an awesome combination of brains and beauty.

Fire Steel



Developed by the Swedish Defence Department (small but perfectly formed no doubt), the Light My Fire Firesteel is simply staggering. Whenever you're in the great outdoors (or if you often battle with your fireplace), just reach for your Firesteel and you'll never need - or want to use, frankly - a lighter or matches ever again. Working even in the wet or cold, a slow and easy 'strike' across this magic little steel produces a huge spark up to 3,000°C! We couldn't believe how much spark this little marvel put out - it's a much brighter spark than anyone round here, that's for sure.

Features

  • A Swedish fire starter that starts a fire whatever the weather.
  • By dragging the striker along the Firestarter a spark is ignited.
  • The spark will easily ignite stoves, barbeques, dry grass and bark.
  • The Firesteel is water resistant.
  • There are 12000 strikes in the Firesteel.
  • Suitable for adults only.
  • Size: 15 x 5 x 1.5cm.

Caution, the spark is hot, 3,000°C if you're asking.

Key Finder :


K
ey loss, like memory loss and for some, hair loss, is one of life's inevitable occurrences. Fortunately, unlike the latter two, there is a cure, and here it is. This great gizmo understands that unlike key-finders of the past, you are bound to have more than one set of keys, and so can locate up to three different sets at the click of a button. Whether it's your car keys, house keys, garage keys, whatever, simply press the coloured button corresponding to the set that's gone walkabout, and they will beep at you until you locate them. Normally in your other jacket, deep in your handbag, under the sofa, or if you have children, possibly in the fridge. Who'd have thought that someone would come up with an idea that almost makes losing your keys fun!

Features

  • Three sound sensitive key-ring locators to attach to your keys.
  • A remote control with coloured buttons, corresponding to the colours on the keys' locators.
  • Pushing the controls button will activate a beeping sound leading you to your misplaced keys.
  • A range of 15ft.
  • Suitable for ages 6 years+.
  • Requires 4 x CR2032 Batteries (included).

Size:-

  • 6 x 4 x 1.5cm (each locator)
  • 8 x 4 x 1.5cm (remote control).

Laser Cosmos : Light up ur ceiling


Just occasionally a product comes along that simply blows us away. We get to see a lot of crazy and sometimes brilliant inventions, but Laser Cosmos is without a doubt the most superb one we've seen. There is no product out there that comes even close to the sheer excellence of this galactic wonder - sorry to sound quite so effusive, but really, it's staggering.

Imagine lying in your room, and having the ceiling whipped away to reveal the vast outreaches of the cosmos whirling overhead, complete with misty blue nebulae (which you can turn on and off!) and the occasional shooting star. Fully adjustable and requiring no set up, this super powerful space projector scatters a random panoply of sparkling green stars that will fill any room from the tiniest bedroom to the largest warehouse with a crystal clear animated star display. What's so clever about this (apart from everything of course) is that it seems so three-dimensional, the varying brightness of different stars makes some seem close and others to come from distant galaxies.

Created from powerful green laser and holographic technology, a display this bright and clear has never been available before. It's utterly mesmerising, and had us transfixed for hours (literally). Whether you're zoning out to music, throwing a party or just chilling, this stunning cosmic light show is like nothing we've ever seen before. Truly one of the most amazing light shows you will see anywhere.

Features

  • Romantic, mesmerising star and cloud projector.
  • The Laser Cosmos will fill any room, no matter how big or small with a carpet of stars, blue clouds (optional), and even shooting stars.
  • The Laser Cosmos itself is shaped like a funky 3D star.
  • The Laser Cosmos can be pivoted to any angle.
  • A Laser Stars projector lens.
  • A cloud formation projector lens.
  • A cloud brightness control.
  • The projector is self-focussing.
  • For best results use in total darkness.
  • Use for no more than four hours at a time (the On/Off switch is helpful here).
  • Suitable for ages 8 years+.
  • Requires a mains adaptor (UK adaptor included).
  • Size: 29 x 25 x 20cm.

Never touch the lens or try to adjust it!
