footwear concept lets you walk in vacuum shoes

I'm back, I know I know. I had to go into hibernation for Thanksgiving. Its been way too much football on to sit in front of a computer but I'm BACK.

I have an interesting device I came across on Engadget. Check this out..

They may not be the first vacuum shoes to emerge in concept form, but these so-called Foki shoes from designer Adika Titut Triyugo are certainly the most stylish -- at least in an ASIMO chic sort of way. They also boast a few new tricks not seen before, including an LED display on top that indicates how much dirt you've picked up, and a unique deign that allows them to be completely folded up when not in use. Of course, "concept" is the key word here, but we've got to guess there's an untapped market out there for wearable appliances. Dust Buster gloves, anyone? - Engadget

BattleRoyale Limited Edition Box set

Oh sweet Battle Royale. I can't even count how many people I've introduced you to. Well Nov 29th, you will be introducing us to the wonderful world of Beat Takashi.

Here is the synopsis:

"At the dawn of the new millennium, Japan is in a state of near-collapse. Unemployment is at an all-time high, and violence amongst the nation's youth is spiralling out of control. With school children boycotting their lessons and physically abusing their teachers, a beleagured and near-defeated government decides to introduce a radical new measure: the Battle Royale Act.

Overseen by a former teacher, (Takeshi Kitano), and requiring that a randomly chosen school class be taken to a deserted island and forced to fight each other to the death, the Act dictates that only one pupil be allowed to survive the punishment. He or she will return, not as the victor, but as the ultimate proof of the lengths to which the government are prepared to go to curb the tide of juvenile disobediance.

One of the most controversial films of all time, clever, creepy and ultra-violent, Battle Royale is the jewel in the crown of Japanese Shock Cinema." - Play.com

Universal remote in a pillow. Sweet lazy bliss!

So, in order to make you even more lazy Brookstone offers a remote that allows you to change the channel with your tongue. This is great for the fans that eat 80 wings and down 12 beers on a Sunday. Here is what engadget had to say...

It's a pillow. And a remote. And if your powers of observation are anywhere near "strong," you've probably deduced by now that you're looking at a universal remote control... albeit one that's wrapped within a pillow. We've seen similar creations come around in concept form, but leave it to the folks at Brookstone to turn this thing into a reality. Purportedly, this unit can be programmed to work with over 500 devices, and there's a power-saving auto shutoff feature that'll definitely be overrode by your incessant squeezing. We wouldn't count on this thing actually working well, but for $29.95 (in addition to the cost of two AAA batteries, of course), we highly doubt you'll find a more fashionable, lovable cube of cotton.-Brookstone

iTunes users get Exicted! Announcement tomorrow!

Apple just updated its homepage with a new splash screen teasing an "exciting announcement from iTunes" at 10AM ET tomorrow, saying that "Tomorrow is just another day. That you'll never forget." What could it be? What could it be?

iPhone stand gives your phone a tail

The Mobile Tail is basically an iPhone stand that’s designed to look exactly like a dog’s tail. Unfortunately, the design remains a concept for now, but hopefully, we’ll see it produced in the near future. Click below for more pictures.It’s crafted from flexible liquid silicone rubber (LSR) – a non-reactive, high-purity material and attaches to any device via the suction cup. -techworld

Phone Springs to Life When Receiving Calls

How often do you miss a call because you just don’t notice your phone ringing? How much easier would it be to notice the ringing if your phone could stand up and announce itself? This super-fun concept Nokia phone, called the Nokia Kinetic, from design student Jeremy Innes-Hopkins was meant to be as playful as possible, which it achieves with its unusual talent. - Gajitz

The design innovations don’t end with the stand-out stand-up feature. The phone’s camera shutter button is located at the bottom right of the body, meaning that you hold the device just like a digital camera when taking a picture. The slightly thickened base of the phone makes it easy to grip, though it might be thick enough to discourage some people from wanting to carry it around.

But the stand-out feature of this phone is undoubtedly its ability to stand up on its edge when it receives a phone call. It achieves this surprising feat with the use of an electromagnet in the base that shifts, allowing the whole thing to stand up and let you know when someone wants to get in touch with you. Tapping the phone gets it to lie down again.

Two taps will set the phone’s manual stand-up mode, making it easier to watch movies, look at pictures or listen to music. A proximity sensor in the phone tells it when it’s in your pocket so it doesn’t stand up at inappropriate times. Of course, the Nokia Kinetic is just a student project and not an actual product, but it’s not hard to imagine it making it to the market one day.

Massive 58-inch MultiTouch iPhone Table

This is crazy!
Table Connect for iPhone is a superb project which makes an exact copy of the iPhone onto a huge 4 feet 10 inch table.  All of the same mulitouch movements (swipe, pinch, etc.) apply.  We have seen some epic DIY furniture before, but nothing comes close to this fully functioning 58″ capacitive multi-touch surface.

To have one for yourself, you have to get a large capacitive surface that will double up as a table (probably incredibly expensive). Once you have that, you’re pretty much all set.  All you have to do is jailbreak an iPhone and use the Table Connect app. Any iPhone model can be connected to the multi-touch surface with a standard dock connector. What you get finally is a much larger screen to play around with your iPhone apps, pinch-zoom and everything.

ZTE Peel for iPod touch hits Sprint November 14

Today, Sprint confirmed that the iPod touch sleeve will indeed be available on that day and added a few extra details along with it as well. In case you’re hearing about the ZTE Peel for the very first time just now, it’s basically a sleeve that goes over your iPod touch and allows it to connect to the Internet via Sprint’s 3G network. Pretty neat, right? You might also be able to get some VoIP action on it, too.Here’s what Sprint tells us:

• Provides 3G Internet access wirelessly.
• Hardware design is meant for versions 2 & 3 of an iPod Touch to slide in and stay in securely in normal use situations.
• Universal Wi-Fi compatibility with 802.11b and 802.11g.
• Supports up to 2 Wi-Fi enabled devices to be connected at the same time.
• Compatible with Windows® 7, Vista®, XP® and Macintosh® OS 10.5 and 10.6.
• Advanced security through WEP 64 Bit (Open or shared).
• Simple to connect with Hands-Free Activation.
• Easy to use Admin UI.
• No software installation required.
• Internal antenna.
• Dimensions: 4.8” x 2.62” x .86”, 3.2 oz.
• Main Display: 3.2” CGS (320 x480 HVGA).
• Standard 900 mAH Li-Ion Battery, up to 3 hours of active use time.

Not a shabby way to get your iPod touch connected when you’re not in a Wi-Fi hotspot or covered area. And with a huge chunk of iOS applications functioning only when data is available, the ZTE Peel doesn’t look like such a bad option.
The Peel is going to go for about $80 and will come with a $30 data plan that allows you 1GB of data. You be the judge of whether it’s worth it to you, but also note that these things are designed for the second and third generation iPod touches. No word on whether it will work with the fourth – the newest model with the front and rear cameras and retina display. - intomobile

Bob's Burgers - Coming Soon

There is a new animated show coming to FOX. 
The show is set to air on Sundays after The Simpsons sometime in the middle of the 2010-2011.  The first season is expected to have thirteen episodes.


BOB’S BURGERS is a new animated series about a man, his family and a burger joint. A third-generation restaurateur, BOB BELCHER (H. Jon Benjamin, FAMILY GUY, “Archer”) runs Bob’s Burgers with the help of his wife and their three kids. Bob has big ideas about burgers, condiments and sides, but only a few thoughts on customer service and business management. Despite his greasy counters, lousy location and occasionally spotty service, Bob is convinced his burgers speak for themselves. Even though business is slow, Bob gets to work with his family. His wife, LINDA BELCHER (John Roberts, “The Christmas Tree,” “Jackie & Debra”), supports Bob’s dream through thick and thin (but truth be told, she’s getting a little sick of the thin). Their eldest daughter, TINA (Dan Mintz, “Important Things with Demetri Martin,” “The Andy Milonakis Show”), is a 13-year-old hopeless romantic with minimal social skills. Middle child GENE (Eugene Mirman, “Flight of the Conchords,” “Aqua Teen Hunger Force”) is an aspiring musician and a prankster who serves up more jokes than burgers. Their youngest, LOUISE (Kristen Schaal, “Flight of the Conchords,” “Modern Family”), is the most enthusiastic about her dad’s business, but an off-balance sense of humor and her elevated energy level make her somewhat of a liability in the kitchen. Beyond the restaurant is a city rich with character. Next door to Bob’s is It’s Your Funeral Home and Crematorium; down the street is Wonder Wharf, the oceanside amusement pier; and a few blocks away is Wagstaff Middle School, where Bob and Linda’s kids go to school. And across the street is Jimmy Pesto’s Pizzeria, Bob’s Burgers’ main competition and the thorn in Bob’s side.

Women, fighting, good storyline, nuff said...........

Suckerpunch IMDB

The movie features beautiful Emily Browning, wearing silver-blond pigtails and the biggest pair of fake eyelashes you've ever seen, as a young woman who's been assaulted, attacked and packed off to a mental hospital in the aftermath of her parents' death. Of course, this isn't your average loony bin. The whole place is populated exclusively by pretty young things—including fellow stars Jena Malone, Vanessa Hudgens, Jamie Chung—whose treatment regimen seems to include not only hard, floor-scrubbing labor, but also regular dance rehearsals at which they perfect their pole-dancing technique. (Some kind of progressive therapy, perhaps?) The trailer shows the asylum residents, lounging around their barracks-style bedroom wearing thigh-high fishnets and lingerie, dreaming of escape from their hell.

This is where things get crazy. Carla Gugino shows up, Emily's character suddenly enters a grayscale dreamworld and a guru with a gravelly voice tells her that she and her friends can win their freedom by finding five objects hidden in this imaginary mindscape. Hey, fun! It's like a scavenger hunt! Except with knives, and murders! Because of course, there is an army of enemy robots dressed like samurai. There is a post-apocalyptic landscape punctuated by fiery, flying balls of exploding shrapnel. There is a two-story-tall beast made of what looks like movable concrete with giant horns and a jetpack flamethrower. And of course, there's Emily, charging through fire and slicing apart armies of metal soldiers, dressed in an outfit that can best be described as naughty-schoolgirl-meets-nautical-ninja.

Glasses Free 3D Android phone is here.....Kinda

Hey, what could the maker of the 3DS' autostereoscopic display be doing in its spare time? Why, stealing a bit of thunder for itself, by the looks of it. Sharp has just trotted out a pair of glasses-free 3D Android handsets for Japan's Softbank network in the form of the touchscreen slate 003SH and QWERTY-slidin' 005SH. A 1GHz Snapdragon powers Froyo on both, with the 3D-capable displays stretching to 3.8 inches and 800 x 480 resolution. The 003SH also comes with a 9.6 megapixel camera capable of 720p video, while the 005SH settles for 8 megapixels. There are also bundled 3D content deals in place, such as the one with Capcom that will see Mega Man, Resident Evil and Ghosts 'n Goblins titles coming preloaded on the handsets. Intrigued? The 003SH is coming this December, to be followed by the 005SH in February. - engadget

Unlock your hotel room with your cellphone

I thought this was pretty cool.........


Just think of it, no more hanging around your hotel's front desk like some unrefined homo erectus. The Clarion Hotel in Stockholm is starting up a new pilot program to allow visitors to check in and collect their room key without the repugnant need for speaking to an actual human being -- it can all be done with an NFC-equipped mobile phone. Provided your smartphone can do the near-field communications dance, all your information can be remotely downloaded, stored, and wiped (if need be), and you can even check out from a room using the accompanying application. Samsung handsets are being provided to selected customers during the period of this trial, though once its four-month incubation period is over, you'll have to bring your own bit of advanced telephony to avoid the queues. We're sure you'll think of something. Video and full press release after the break. -engadget
