It might appear to you as any other hearty T-shirt with a series of hearts on the front, but this one is not that simple actually.
The two and a half out of six hearts that you see lighted up on the shirt starts increasing till they become six of them asyou partner starts getting close to you! And as soon as he is in the proximity of 2 meters, you can see your life increased to siv proving that he/she means his life to you and without him you are not living to the fullest.
If you are confused about the glowing technology, then let me tell you that the hearts are decals which are operated with a battery pack fitted in a small pocket of the shirt and can last for about 3 hours.
And whenever you need to wash it…just remove the heart decal and go ahead.
Sounds interesting! The 100% cotton shirts are perfect gift for the valentine.
Price: $25 each

Many times I’ve seen people complaining of being not too comfortable with their current mouse and wish to add their personal comfortable touch to the accessory. If this is a concern for you too, then without any doubts you’ll love this concept of moldable mouse and no wonders it has received enough accolades after winning the 2007 Red Dot Awards.The mouse offers you the flexibility to shape your mouse any way you like as it’s made out of lightweight modeling clay with a flexible polyurethane and nylon fabric. With this at your hand, you’ll be able to shape-up your mouse the way you are comfortable holding it…as a joystick or a side scrolled or in any other unique shape. All you need to do is shape-it up and out the ‘stick-on’ stick on, radio-frequency controlled mouse buttons and touch-sensitive scroll at any position you like.Sounds cool…specially for those who love change!Via: gadgetastic

Now this is what I call a daring pick. After soothing yourself in that hot steam bath or letting the water waves pamper you in Jacuzzi, this all you bathing option will bring the guts out of you. The reference here is to the ‘Snow Room’.
Now, don’t thing it’s an over exaggerated name but it’s indeed an exaggerated bath concept where the temperature is close to “ten degrees below zero”, which will make you feel no better than those tunas stored in the deep freezer.
These chilling luxury spas, which offer the world famous Hot-Cold therapy will find a place in the major luxury hotels this year.
Already a hit in the European countries, people who have already tried the techniques cannot stop praising the health benefits that come when you get exposed to hot and cold environs alternatively.
Till the time, the spa hits the luxury hotel near you…keep reading the space for more updates on Snow Room!

Some might find it cute, other might consider it to be simple enough to the extent of being stupid, while another sect of people can find it interesting thanks to its clean and easy to operate operations. The mixed opinions arise out of the plain fact that the Tactile Mp3, as they call it is actually a simple design.
Going by the name, Tactile MP3 player, this one features five bumpy bulges on its bod that help you control all the music.
The number of bulges vary on each corner, intended to differentiate them as per the functions. On a closer look you can also say that the Tactile MP3 player is designed on the lines of Braille. The round dollop like MP3 player will be available in 5 pastel shades once they transform into something more than just concepts, which they currently are.

After cell phones and iPods going the bling way, it seems even the Computer manufacturers are looking forward to mint some big moolah, by converting the simple computer cases into shiny shiny stuff.
The reference here is to the Tokyo-based Zeus Computers who are all set to rake some moolah from the pockets of the richie-rich with their latest luxury personal computers. These machines are housed in cases which are no less a mobile treasure with precious jewels and metals caking the beautifully crafted body.
Some of the pricey picks include a model christened “Jupiter” made in pure platinum bearing a price tag you cannot even imagine for a computer case, $760,000. PHEW!
If this is not your budget, then there’s also a modestly priced piece called “Mars”, which is a solid gold version and is priced at $570,000.
To add some more drama and luxury to the machines, there is a blaze of inset diamonds patterned that carves the zodiac constellations and the Milky Way on the computer case.
Talking about the specs, the case includes a 3GHz Intel Core 2 Duo E6850-powered machine with a 256MB GeForce 7200GS VGA card, a 1000GB serial ATA hard drive, 2048MB of memory, a Blu-ray/HD-DVD optical drive and more, and Microsoft Windows Vista Ultimate OEM comes pre-installed.
I guess hardly wuld any one give a heed to what’s there inside when the outside is something as chic and dazzleling as this!

Here comes another (don’t know how effective) home security system like many that also boasts of alerting you of any kind of danger lurking in and around your home. It’s called AlertMe and is it is a broadband compatible that will tell you about the problems anywhere you are (better if you are near a cell tower)
Thanks to the numerous motion sensors that are attached to the doors, windows of your home, together with a smoke or carbon monoxide alarm detector and chic set of keyfobs to track who’s in and who’s out of your home, AlertMe ensures to keep the security of your abode intact.
Each of the sensor is connected to a central hub, which sends all the info to the AlertMe website servers. In case someone breaks into your home, the system will send you a text message, following which you can either respond back with your cell phone or access your home’s account on the AlertMe website (Do they think internet will be available when we need). Quite a confusing security system it seems to be, which leaves many a questions unanswered…is any one listening?
Price: $790 with a monthly service fee of about $23

Though less but we do sweat during winters also, specially when we are all packed it a warm jacket.
I remember getting an eerie wet feeling inside the woolens after a fast walk, but can’t help it since it’s too cold to remove the jacket and too hot with it.
So to combat that unusual but practical problem, here is a piece of garment that’s fitted with an air purifier. Yes, check out this unique jacket from the house of Victorinox Apparel.
It boasts of an air purifier that will not only help you keep well ventilated but will also keep all kinds of smell and odors at bay leaving you fresh and dry. To bring in the style element, you can detach the sleeves whenever you feel like to get that lumberjack look while the cuffs can be adjusted thanks to the Velcro.
I don’t say it’s a must have, but in case you have some extra bucks that you can afford to invest in some hi-tech clothes, then the Air Purifier jacket can be an intelligent pick for the season!

Posted in Cell phones, High tech on 28 January 2008

A perfect gadget to comment that cell phone manufacturers and designers are getting head over heals when it comes to coming out with an innovative wonder. The latest in the league of those hard to believe but true cell phones is this NEC Flask.
What goes into it to keep it ringing is no hard core battery like other usual mobile phones but a liquid fuel cell filled inside its flask like bod. The cell keeps working till the liquid is their as the liquid cell keeps draining away with the power. As far as the working of the phone goes, you can operate it with a funky touchscreen that features numbers and digits written all over it.

Don’t know how will it work and also there’s no clue as to what will happen if the liquid leaks or the flask breaks ( you can expect all these mishaps, keeping in mind the frequency at which we bang, break or throw our cell phone). And also, the concept of a bottle like cell phone will be quite hard to digest for…isn’t?
Any way…let’s wait till it’s out. There are no details on info and other specifications apart from these pics in some real cool colours straight from NEC website and the fact that the phone is going to hit the market sometime in 2008.
