Somewhere in Japan we imagine there's a wizened old man wielding a tiny screwdriver and cackling his way into making this. His job is to craft a new and exciting-looking digital watches that are mind-bendingly difficult to read, and this watch may be his masterpiece.

Press the button on the side and the red LED bars will start falling and stacking on each other in three stages ,, displaying the hours at first then the tens of minutes, then the single minutes. Yes it takes a while to work out the time, thanx old man for the devilish design.

Flow iPod Dock

2010-08-15T07:24:00.001+05:30

Basically it’s an iPod dock that responds to movement. The removable speakers are motion - sensitive, so shake one like a meerkat in a tumble dryer and it’ll play upbeat tunes. Be more gentle and you’ll get something off.

Definitely it works just fine, The Flow is a much - needed kick in the tweeters for iPod dock designers, who can’t seem to see past the black rectangular look of late, we all like.

QlockTwo Clock

2010-05-02T05:28:00.004+05:30

If he Qlock's time keeping is anything like its spelling, be prepared to spend a lot of time apologizing for being late. Potential tardiness aside, the Qlock Two's novel approach to chronology is certainly eye catching. From a distance it looks like a word search puzzle, but get up close and you'l see it spurns hands for words, spelling out the approximate time without any of those boring old - fashioned numerals. Who cares if you're late when the cause looks this good ?

The Qlocktwo Clock comes in a variety of funky colors including, black, purple, green, yellow and silver, if you want one they are available for about $1565 .
If you don’t want to splash out that much cash on a clock, there is also a version of the clock available as an iPhone App for $0.99.

Tag Heuer Monaco LS

2010-04-29T01:02:00.010+05:30

The first thought that will occurred to you when you see this watch, ' How can it be so manly and so beautiful at the same time ? ' Of course, that's a rhetorical question. The latest from the Monaco stable, it is breathtakingly stunning and so macho that it makes us want to bash our fists into the wall. Not with the watch on, of course. As one would expect for this kind of price, it is technically superior too, equipped with a Dubois Debraz 2008 movement ( that means powerful in layman's terms ) and an incredibly sexy black alligator strap, although there is a steel bracelet option. If you can afford it, it's great addition to your watch collection.

Underneath the designer dial, is a basic array of subdial discs, save for the dial and hand for the chronograph hours located at 6 o'clock. For the most part the dial is just a series of visual tricks to make it look more complicated than it really is. For example, take the "linear" seconds counter located at 3 o'clock. It looks like a horizontally laid out linear gauge, but in reality it is just the appearance of that with a disc bearing a spiral red line underneath that looks like it travels across the linear dial. The same goes for the chic looking counters at 12 and 9 o'clock - nothing that special and more gimmicky.

Powering the watch is Dubois Depraz automatic mechanical chronograph movement inside of the 40.5mm wide steel case that is WR to 100 meters. Style of course refers to the "futuristic" concept Monaco watches that some of you have lusted for, but for me this Monaco LS Chronograph watch is simply not that satisfying a consolation prize to those interesting concepts which are not available. Not a bad watch, but certainly underwhelming once the initial novelty of the style wears off.

Cost about 6000 $

Skiff Reader.

2010-04-27T03:39:00.015+05:30

The first device to use the "Metal Foil" e-paper technology developed by LG. this is the thinest eBook reader available.

At just 6mm thick it's slimmer then a normal magazine, but retains all the clarity you expect from a reader, on an 11.5-inch screen that's actually the biggest available, dwarfing the Amazon kidle's 9.7-inch number. At the risk of sounding like a QVC presenters, that's not all. The foil tech should also make it more durable as it's flexible. So it'll give if you bend it, rather than cracking it up like the brittle glass used in previous e-ink screens. In short, reading a magazine or newspaper on this device will be as close as you can get to the real thing.

It's made in conjunction with Hearst, the people behind Esquire, Good Housekeeping and numerous Newspapers, so there should be plenty of things to read on it.

Some details :

The Screen : The 1200x1600 pixel touchscreen is 11.5 inches acrose, that's igger than Amazon's Kindle DX .
The Casing : Thanks to the next generation of epaper, it's just 6mm thick .
The Connection : It has 3G on board, alot of thanks to Sprint in the US.
Battery Life : One week of average life ( thousands of page turns with periodic wireless use ) Rechargeable high-capacity Lithium Ion battery .

From NOKIA to iPhone 4G

2010-04-19T00:45:00.018+05:30

I have been a NOKIA user all my life started with the NOKIA 3310. Now i am using NOKIA N97 , i used if not all of them then most of NOKIA phones, was really fine using NOKIA and had no complains what so ever, and i am a NOKIA user so i know the drill, you buy a new NOKIA phone having almost all the features, missing some, and after couple of months another new NOKIA set comes to the marker having the features you were looking for, but not all, so we have to get the new one and cell this one or gifted to some one, and the story goes on like this.

I used a Motorola only once in my life, it was the Motorola V70, i got this one because i loved the unique idea behind it, and how stylishly you can round up the flip of the phone to show the keys, but in the end i was not that comfortable with the interface and i didn't find it very friendly.

so after all of that i went back to NOKIA just checking whats new in the market and getting ready to sell the one i am having online ASAP so i can get a better price and get my hand on the next new NOKIA phone.

and then i saw a vid on You Tube about the new brand phone that is a first of its kind that have no buttons what so ever..This is the vid :

and i remember me and my friends we were so amazed just thinking of a phone with no buttons was such a challenge at that time, it was something unbelievable, we liked the phone but we never thought that we can get one because our brain sticked to the fact that we can never do or use any phone beside or better then NOKIA.

its been quite a while after that, the iPhone 3G and the iPhone 3GS came out, and i am still the same, thinking that i will reach the sky with my NOKIA.

One day was chatting with my friend Ebs, and he was talking to me about his iphone how awsom and very useful its , and after a month or so i met him in person and he started explainig to me how the iPhone is the BEST phone out there, and he showed me some of the cool apps he was having, and he did a fantastic job at it.

He is having an iPhone 3GS at the moment, and he really talk me into it, and i was thinking to buy one and giv it a try, but then he told me that there is a new iphone comming out soon, if i can wait for it it will be much better.

I started Googling about this new iPhone, i wanted to know whats gona be so new about it, because i was monitoring the iPhone from the first one antil the iPhone 3GS , and all the phones on the market now a days have cam's and can take vids and useing WiFi , i found out that the iphone 4G have eliminated all the problemes, and have implemented over 100 new user features, and these are some of them :

Multitasking : the new iPhone will support Multitasking, all of NOKIA new sets have this feature but they really not doing any good job with it, i am using my NOKIA N97 and i can run severl apps at the same time, but in some cases the phone will crash and in another cases the OS of the phone start running really slowly.
Voice over IP : this is also will come under Multitasking, a good example for this, is when using Skype on your iPhone, you can still receive calls while playing a game, and you can keep talking and Skype is running on the back ground.
Folders : i am not an iPhone user yet, but i find this feature extremely useful and cool. just dragging an app over another well be placing both of them in a folder. So now the iPhone can place up to 2000 apps , also Folders are using something called Intelligent Naming, dragging a Game app on another Game app will place both of them in a folder and name that folder according to the app catagory, in this case Games.
Wallpaper : changing the wallpaper on your iPhone have never been so easy, now its just 3 steps away : Setting -> Wallpapers -> chose your pic .
iBooks : this is one of the iPad features and now we will be enjoying reading books with a delightful ebook reader, and also buy books from the iBookstore.
Game Center : The iPhone OS 4.0 will support Social Gaming network , and you can simply challenge your friends by inviting them to play a game with you.
Wireless Distribution of Apps : This is also one of the useful features of the new iPhone OS 4.0, you can easily get an App wirelessly without connecting your device to the computer.
Camera : 5 MP, 2592 x 1944 pixels, autofocus, LED flash, also supporting Touch focus ( In Video also ) and geo-tagging .

There was a time when alot of people laughed because the iPhone started using Cut and Paste, but we have to know that, its not what you can do its how you do it.I am waiting for the iPhone 4G to come out soon, and i know that i am not gonna be disappointed.

Lets Tetris

2010-02-14T05:04:00.005+05:30

This picture is something i made from a very well know software called Maya, and its combination of different blocks used in a game called Tetris. Teteis is one of my all time games and I am so addicted to this game because its a classic and interested game all about puzzles you can say, its a game where you have to work you minds in such a way to come up with a good structure combining all the blocks together when they start falling down, scoring points will be buy making straight horizontal line with different blocks.

players lose a typical game of Tetris when they can no longer keep up with the increasing speed, and the tetrominoes stack up to the top of the playing field.

and something else which makes the game is even more special is the music of the game, hearing it any where directly we will get the idea that its Tetris.

Some facts about Tetris :

Originally the game was designed and programmed by a Russian guy called Alexy Pazhitnov.
The idea behind the game have spread wildly into different device's and different operating systems, from computers, screens and mobile phones.
The sound track of the game is from Russian and called "Korobeinki"
the name Tetris came from a Latin word "Tetra" meaning ( forfold or quatrain because every block consist of four parts )
Something called "Tetris Effect" or "repetitive stress symptom" it came to some people who play the game more then often , it will effect his/her life in a way, when ever loving to any picture or statue will always be having obsession about, like , is it fit together ? , sometimes they will be feeling blocks of Tetris coming from up when they daydreaming or even dream about it "happened to me :) "

I have the game which is called Tetris Zone, its really super cool , here are some other on line sites were you can play Tetris online :

Tetris Friends. (The Best One) (registration required)
Free Tetris.
Play Tetris Online.

To be good in Tetris you have to play at least one or two moves ahead of the game, even when its slow "very important" .

A funny tip i got from a friend of mine, may be true.. "eat alot of green vegetables to keep your brain functions as quick as possible" the time didnt come yet to try it :) .

Breathing Therapy

2010-01-08T04:24:00.002+05:30

I got this topic as an email, and its a very intersting one actually, and most of us don't pay attention to it. The nose has a left and a right side, we use both to inhale and exhale.
Actually they ar e different; you would be able to feel the difference. The right side represents the sun, left side represents the moon. During a headache, try to close your right nose and use your left nose to breathe. In about 5 mins, your headache will be gone. If you feel tired, just reverse, close your left nose and breathe through your right nose. After a while, you will feel your mind is refreshed.

Right side belongs to 'hot', so it gets heated up easily, left side belongs to 'cold'. Most females breathe with their left noses, so they get "cooled off" faster. Most of the guys breathe with their right noses, they get worked up.
Do you notice the moment we wake up, which side breathes faster? Left or right? ? If left is faster, you will feel tired. So, close your left nose and use your right nose for breathing, you will get refreshed quickly.

This can be taught to kids, but it is more effective when practiced by adults. My friend used to have bad headaches and was always visiting the doctor. There was this period when he suffered headache literally every night, unable to study.

He took painkillers, did not work. He decided to try out the breathing therapy here, closed his right nose and breathed through his left nose. In less than a week, his headaches were gone! He continued the exercise for one month. This alternative natural therapy without medication is something that he has experienced.
So, why not give it a try?

Dell Adamo XPS

2010-01-07T17:51:00.000+05:30

Finaly the world's skinniest laptop is here, yes, the Dell Adamo XPS is even skinnier then the apple macbook air. There are somethings that you can't ignore, "Never use an electric drill while you're having a bath", is one, "Size matter" is another.
And in the gadget arms race to offer the world's thinnest laptop, that's one that Dell certainlly subscribes to. Thanks to it's quirky hinge, Dell designers and engineers have basicly managed to cut the 13.4 in-screen Adamo XP down to 9.9mm-brely enough to house a headphone socket. But that's not say it's weaking on the iside. A 128GB solid-state drive ore-loaded with Windows 7 and 4GB of RAM DDR3 should keep it ticking over nicely, while the gesture-controlled latch adds to the wow factor.

Alex Gruzen, senior vice president of Dell consumer products, said, “Our engineers and designers are breaking new ground and throwing away the old rules with the introduction of Adamo XPS. We think the Adamo XPS will inspire an emotional connection with anyone who sees it.”
The company has used Elezygology’s TZ Intevia technology to design the unique opening mechanism.
The Dell Adamo XPS laptop has a 13.4-inch widescreen 16:9 LED HD display and a full keyboard with metallic key caps.

The laptop is powered by an 1.4GHz Intel Core 2 Duo ultra-low-voltage processor and runs the Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit edition operating system.
It has 800MHz Dual Channel DDR3 memory, built-in WiFi with specifications of 802.11n, and a 128GB solid state drive.
Other specifications of the Dell Adamo XPS laptop include an integrated 2-megapixel webcam and integrated mono digital microphone, IO: DisplayPort, 2 USB 2.0, headphone connector and headphone, standard connectors via external dongle: RJ45, and DVI.

Looks like there's a new mantro to learn: "Must buy a Dell Adamo XPS".

Adidas Vs Nike

2010-01-04T02:47:00.000+05:30

When developing a football boot, choose your profrssional playing help wisely, precison ? You need fabregas: see below. Want net-ripping power that'll strike fear into the heart of goalkeepers ?
Go for zinedine Zidane-a man who bowed out of top-level football by headbutting an oppenent in the chest. In the World Cup Final, Zi Zi's influence on the predator X is obvious, with brand new power spine center that reduces flex in the boot when striking the ball, meaning more power and with any luck, more goals.

However, as a certain tyre manufacturer famously said, power is nothing without control, and that's where Cesc Fabregas comes in. A master of pinging a ball with sniperlike precision to his teammates, the Arsenal playmaker has helped Nike tweak about for a midfield mastro's needs. Stategic soft pads help when receiving the ball and moving it on. If you let a pass go astray in these, expect a Zidan-stylebruising from the boss.

Something to think about....

There was a one interview on CNBC with Warren Buffet, the second richest man who has donated $31 billion to charity. Here are some very intersting aspects of his life:

He bought his first share at age 11 and he started too late...!!
He bought his small farm at age 14 with savings from delivering newspapers.
He still lives in the same small 3-bedroom house in mid-town Omaha that he bought after he got married 50 years ago. He says that he has everything he needs in that house. His house does not have a wall or a fence.
He drives his own car everywhere and does not have a driver or security people around him.
He never travels by private jet, although he owns the world's largest orivate jet company.
His company, Berkshire Hathaway, owns 63 companie. He writes only one one letter each year to the CED's of these companies, giving them goals for the year. He has giving his CEO's only two rules : Rules 1 : Do not lose any of your share holder's money.Rules 2 : Do not forget Rules 1.
He does not socialize with the high society crowd. His past time after he gets home is to make himself some popcorn and watch Television.
Bill Gates, the world's richest man met him for the first time only 5 years ago. Bill Gates did not think he had anything in common with Warren Buffett. So he simply scheduled his meeting only for half hour. But when Gates met him, the meeting lasted for ten hours and Bill Gates become a devotee of Warren Buffett.
Warren Buffett does not carry a cell phone, nor has a computer on his desk.
His advice to young people : Stay away from credit cards, and invest in yourself and remember :

Money doesn't creat a man but it is the man who created money.
live yourlife as simple as you are.
Don't do what others say, just listen to them, but do what you feel good.@ Don't go on brand names, just wear those things in which u feel comfortable.
Don't waste your money on unnecessary things, just spend them on who are really in need, rather.
After all it's your life then "why do we give a chance to others to rule our lives."

Juna Martin Del Potro

2009-09-20T04:00:00.000+05:30

First of all i want to clear it up to evry one that i am a big big fan of Roger Federe the world number one player, and he without no doubt played a very good tournament and reahed to the final match but Del Potro was waiting and smilling, so yeh the US Open champion 2009 was full of surprises.

Juna Martin Del Potro is the reigining US Open champion after he defeated Roger Federe in the final match. The 20- years old is an argentine professional tennis player who reached a carrer high ranking of world number five this year. The teen sensation began playing tennis at age seven wit coach Marcelo Gomez but his talent was discovered by italian ex-tennis professionl Ugo Colombini, who accompaniend him through the initial phases of hi career and is still his agent and close friend.

The man who won his first professional match at the age of 15 went on to becpme the secpnd teeneger to have the longest winning streak in the open era, after Rafal Nadal.
With this win in the 2009 US Open, he became the first player since countryman David Nalbanian to defet Fadere at the US Open, and also became the first player to defeat both Nadal and Federer in the same Grand Slam tournament.

Nimbuzz and nothing else

2009-09-17T23:26:00.000+05:30

I want you all to know that i am insanely in love with a software called Nimbuzz The Ultimate IM Application for mobile phones. I am using Nimbuzz in my Nokia N97 and its one of the reasons why i want to open my qwerty keyboard and start chatting or sending massegs.
So what does any one need in an IM application to make it good? Here is a little list:

Multi Platform Support: I need it to support AIM, MSN, GTalk, Yahoo, Facebook, and Skype.
Landscape Keyboard: So much easier to type on.
VOIP: It needs to not only support Skype, MSN, or GTalk chat, but why not take advantage of their VOIP capabilities as well?
Separate Buddy Lists: I want to see my contacts separated by network and not all on one very long list.
Easy to navigate interface: It has to be user friendly to be an app I would consider using.
OK so that is a short list of characteristics I am looking for in an IM app.

There is only one application that I have found to offer pretty much everything in that list; Nimbuzz.
Basically you can import all your contacts from all your favourate networking sites such as : Yahoo, MSN, Facebook, google talk, Skype, MySpace and more.
And whats even more better is that you can even chatt with other people who is using Nimbuzz using one of the available chat rooms, or even you can make your own private room.

To sum up i will giv it 9.5 out of 10 , i am having one problem with it which is basically when you are using Nimbuzz you can also change your online status, and you have all the basic option to chose from, Online, Busy, Away, or even Offline, but when i go online or busy or away and then go to Offline status it will not change to offline in facebook, so basiclly when you are done using Nimbuzz in your phone and then open your facebook site you can see all the conversations and you can see your status set to online, but rather then that its a fantastic ultimate IM application.

Tag Friends In Facebook with @ .

2009-09-17T00:24:00.001+05:30

One of the most popular features on Facebook is tagging, which gives you the ability to identify and reference people in photos, videos and notes. Today, we are adding a new way to tag people and other things you're connected to on Facebook — in status updates and other posts from the Publisher. It's another way to let people know who and what you're talking about.People often update their status to reflect their thoughts and feelings, or to mention things they feel like sharing. Sometimes that includes referencing friends, groups or even events they are attending — for instance, posting "Grabbing lunch with Meredith Chin" or "I'm heading to Starbucks Coffee Company — anyone want some coffee?".Now, when you are writing a status update and want to add a friend's name to something you are posting, just include the "@" symbol beforehand. As you type the name of what you would like to reference, a drop-down menu will appear that allows you to choose from your list of friends and other connections, including groups, events, applications and Pages. Soon, you'll be able to tag friends from applications as well. The "@" symbol will not be displayed in the published status update or post after you've added your tags.

Friends you tag in your status updates will receive a notification and a Wall post linking them to your post. They also will have the option to remove tags of themselves from your posts. We hope that tagging your status updates and others posts from the Publisher will enable you to share in a more meaningful and engaging way, and connect with even more people. We're rolling this feature out over the course of the next few weeks, so you may not see the new feature just yet.
