light up business card gives contact details, physics and chemistry lessons

aaron alai electronic business card

Aaron Alai made sure that prospective employers – and lovers – will remember him. They’ll remember him as the nerd with the business card that lights up.

cool gtw18 mobile phone gets crappy built-in projector, useless analog tv and dvr – not cool at all

cool_gtw18_mobile_phone_projector

This new mobile phone out of China may look like your average smartphone, but under the hood it’s actually packing a tiny little projector. Too bad the images it produces look pretty horrendous.

The inappropriately named COOL GTW18 features a 3.2-inch 240 x 400 touchscreen display, and touts a built in LED mini-projector for…

spiderpodium: let your iphone and ipod do the walking

spiderpodium_media_player_stands

I’ve seen some strange looking cases and stands for media players in my days, but this one is definitely unique among the crowd.

Assuming you’re not an arachnophobe, you might enjoy one of these Spiderpodium stands for your media player or phone. But if you’re like many, you’ll probably think they’re too creepy looking.…

japanese wrist phone: big brother is watching you slack off

Big Brother Japan KDDI phone cell wrist

It looks like nightmares are becoming a reality for the Japanese. A new cell phone from KDDI, that’s packaged attractively as a wrist phone, will be able to tell if you’re slacking off at work. It will then rat you out to your boss!

This is definitely some Orwellian technology. The phone’s accelerometer is…

origaudio portable speakers 1

OrigAudio (as in “origami + audio”) speakers are perfect for trips to the beach, or for whenever you just want to share music without much hassle. Let’s face it, a couple of 3.15″ 1-watt speakers won’t satisfy audiophiles and they’re definitely not good enough for parties, but the fact that they’re foldable and don’t…
