Heard about many designer cushions but this time lend your ears to geeks designer cushion remote control. And remote control with a difference. Yes, this suffix really sticks to its meaning. Designed by Didier Hilhorst and Nicholas Zambetti, this cushion control is a new generation gadget. Its extraordinary functions include power, volume, channel control.
But seems the functionality is a little muddled, as there seems to be no difference in the power of volume control from either squeezing the pillow or resting on the pillow.
Try and feel, feel the volume control and reply back because I don’t want to be the first generation user of this type of cushion

The three technology giants viz. Google, Microsoft and Yahoo have all eyes and ears on cellphones. And why not? After all it’s the lifeline of every individual today.
Guess what will be the venue (battleground) for the Internet search wars that are soon to happen?
No Guesses. Okeah. The mobile platforms, yup, the heat inside the cabins of techno giants is about this only. After pay-per click advertising now the hot issue is to be the king of mobile space by offering a quick web search of their choice on their ready handsets.
As per the rumours, Google has built a prototype phone with its own software inside to look into the issue.
Unlike computers, which allow access to the search engine of their choice, one donot have this functionality in cellphones. But can expect soon as carriers have the ability to analyse which search engine is easy to access and which is not through placement in their phones’ menus.

Apple’s iPhone, first mobile handset, as per the rumours is ready to hit the U.S. market at the end of June. The perception and imagery of the iPhone has undergone a change since Steve Jobs displayed a model of the much-awaited product in January. Who knows the perfection of the rumours but surely if this rumour turns into reality then it would be a great fun.
Any features revealed? Not really.
This product will be a result of the most anticipated deal between AT&T’s wireless unit and U.S. “Our expectations are good. Our testing has been good,” said AT&T chief operating officer Randall Stephenson. “The iPhone is on target to launch in June.”
The company claims that almost 1 million customers have been waiting since long with all eyes and ears to Apple’s iphone launch. Well, if this being the scene then the company dare not dealy its launch.

WiFi-equipped DAPs have retained gaining attention as companies like Sandisk has made collaborations with Zing.

Sharing a phusical resemblance with Zing’s Sirius’ Stiletto, this $249 Sansa Connect could not match with the former’s satellite radio capabilities but is geared up to mar it through its effective use of 802.11 airwaves. The WiFi formula used for this category of products gives us an easy access over PC-free downloading, and firmware updates over the air.
The Connect offers connectivity to Yahoo Music Unlimited for its subscription download model and streaming radio. This will allow you to pull your songs into Yahoo Music Jukebox.
It almost trivializes the need for serious storage in the device — this one makes doing away with the 4GB plus microSD expansion, a handy data connection literally offers you any music in Yahoo’s catalog.
