This is by far the most interesting looking laptop cooler I’ve seen around. Sadly it goes under your laptop, so even though it looks really good, it’s not going to be seen a whole lot. The odd shape of this USB cooler is inspired by an octopus. Although I’d say it’s incredibly debatable as to whether or not it actually looks like an octopus. It does at least draw one’s attention, all the while it keeps your laptop much more cool.
The Blue Octopus notebook cooling pad weighs just 157g and measures 189*89*18mm, making it very much portable.
Buy this one only if you like to raise eyebrows from your college-mates.It comes in three different colors including Blue, Green and Black. It is now available for $11.69.

Apple announced they had sold over 1 million of the new iPhone 3GS through 21 June 2009, and Apple Sells Over 1 Million iPhone 3GS Phones. So we need a lot of iPhone 3GS cases. And it seems a shame to clog up the pages of magazine after magazine with them, when we can devote those pages to hard-hitting features, helpful how-tos, and reviews of things that are actually used with your Mac.
Still, cases are very important. Your iPhone 3G is pretty and wonderful and deserves to be protected. That’s true. I drop my iphone all the time! I'm not bragging it's just a habit. I've spent alot of money on protective iphone gear and until I came across these cool iPhone 3G Cases I found myself replacing my iphone every few months. I am completely stoked to say I still have my same habits but have not had to replace my iphone in over a year. It is still brand new looking and the awesome thing is, they comes in awesome colors so I can change whenever. I actually think I have all the colors and styles!!!! Everyone should tell everyone about these things, I cannot say enough great things about them. The guys that came up with these are awesome! Thanks Uxsight guys you rock! Still, at least the price is about right, at around $3-$6 or so.
And IMO，All cases should include a screen protector, which is described as being polycarbonate, and a simple cleaning cloth. To be honest, as mentioned above, the iPhone's screen is so tough that there's simply no need to use a screen protector, especially as it picks up smears and scratches easier than the actual iPhone 3G screen protector.
Be sure to look for iPhone screen protection that is made for your iPhone. They should be perfectly cut, making it easy to apply and offer immediate protection. Some vendors offer templates and require you to cut the plastic covering. This is less than optimal. When the iPhone is turned on, a good screen protector is hardly noticed. Some screen protectors will also offer enhanced usability due to the finish. In general, iPhone screen protectors are a good investment and easily removable should it start to get dirty. In the end, it's a small investment to protect a much larger investment, your iPhone.
And as I’m always be a traveler, so a applied iPhone charger is basic for me. And The connection to the wall-outlet should be compatible with the standard of US/Canada/South America/Japan/Korea. So, for me I’ll select the iPhone Wall Charger for miniSync serves as a convenient travel charger to take along. Its compact size and light weight minimizes on travel bulk! You can take it anywhere to create the power source that you need!
That’s all, just enjoy your iPhone life!

You’ve heard of sun tea in a jar. You’ve heard (if you are literate in Appalachian tradition) of moonshine in a jar. But did you know that you can now buy jars of not only of sunshine, but of sunshine disguising itself as moonshine?
It’s a perfect accessory for those of you who love the sun during the day, is the sunjar. Have it sit in the sun during the day for several hours to charge and see it radiate at night worth of after-dark illumination. All made possible by modern technology – some LED's, a solar panel and some ingenious thinking.
The Sun and Moon Jars use 2 standard AA rechargeable battery, which is replaceable and Waterproof Plastic cover make them more durable and safe than the Ⅰ. The $19.99 USD Jars can be even left outside to power up in the absence of a suitably sunny window; and I think they’d be perfect in the garden(With the nails)!

Having an alarm clock of some sort in your bedroom is vital, but why settle for something that looks so ordinary when you can settle for the Toothed Mechanical Wheel Clock.
This Machine time clock is a functional timepiece that is shaped like a silver gear wheel, which shall look pretty impressive for the mechanical geeks. The clock exposes the gear wheel which makes it so interesting to watch at the slowly moving gear.
Telling time seems to be difficult on this clock. By looking at the picture attached above, it seems hard for me to figure out where the hour and minute hands are. Anyway, this clock is said to be built with torque mechanism from Japan which is highly accurate that gives a daily error of 2 seconds only. It’s claimed to be a highly reliable and accurate clock but those gears seem not to be my type.
When you’ve fallen in love with machinery you’d love to have some gadgets that expose you with various gears and nuts to sit on your work desk.

Sony's 4K Projector (or Super Mega Ultra HD Projector in my terms), provides 4 times the pixels at a 4096x2160 resolution. Akihabara News says the liquid crystal on silicon projector uses SXRD technology, has a 2500:1 contrast ration, a 2 kW lamp and it produces 11,000 lumens of light. At $114,000 and 268 pounds with no media that can take full advantage of the hardware, I doubt you'd have much use for this...yet. [Akihabara via Electronista]
We already caught of preview of Canon new EOS 5D Mark II 21-megapixel monster, but if you're curious about Canon's other new camera offerings, you may want to hit up Photography Blog, which has gone hands-on with each of 'em. That includes the PowerShot G10 (pictured above), the PowerShot SX1 IS / SX10 IS, the Digital IXUS 980 IS and 870 IS and, of course, the aforementioned EOS 5D Mark II, just in case you need another look at it. Unfortunately, they don't have much in the way of first impressions just yet, or any sample shots, but they do at least have a comparison between the G10 and the earlier G9 model for those considering an upgrade, and plenty of high res photos of each camera to let you examine every nook and cranny. Hit up the links below to dig in.

Many people swear by polyphasic sleep, or the idea of taking frequent naps throughout the day as opposed to sleeping in one long chunk. Leonardo da Vinci was one of the most notable proponents of this seeping method, noting that it helped him be more productive throughout the day. This alarm clock concept follows da Vinci's 3.5 / .5 sleep schedule, meaning that an alarm will sound every 3 hours and 30 minutes indicating that it is time for a nap. Another alarm will sound a half hour later, indicating that it is time to wake up again.
All-in-all, the da Vinci Sleep alarm clock will net you around 3 hours of shut-eye per day (although I have heard da Vinci slept even less than that). Obviously, a schedule like this isn't for someone who maintains a regular 9 to 5 schedule, or operates heavy machinery—but it would be perfect for bloggers, retired persons and the unemployed. This particular clock is only a concept, but you could set a regular alarm fairly easily to try this sleep method yourself. [Yanko]
On the whole, we'd say KURO plasma owners are pretty stoked about their sets. Those who'd prefer a KURO-branded LCD, however, have been waiting anxiously to hear something more from ole Pioneer for months. Thankfully, the firm has finally spoken, and while it doesn't mention any brand / model names specifically, we can assume that those LCD HDTVs we saw emerge in Europe will be gracing US shores in mere months. During the first half of 2009, Pioneer LCD HDTVs will be loosed in North America and Asia, and unless plans change, the panels within will actually be supplied by Sharp. Might we be on the lookout for a sneak peek at CES '09?
