Its A Computer Cabinet


Lian Li T1 Pitstop was one of those robot devices that we report on from time to time, but it is not. You can watch the nature mock-umentary in the YouTube video that I included here.According to the vid, “the frame can support a mini ATX power supply, a mini ITX motherboard, and an open top frame for convenient benchmark tweaking”. I am obviously not technical enough to know what those terms mean. Yeah, I know that I am a writer for Coolest Gadgets, but I don’t really know the inside of gadgets. I’m more of consumer electronics guy.
I can understand the Lian Li’s color. I am assuming the video is true in its assumption that red in nature means danger. In the electronics world, red clearly means that someone is trying to make a product that looks cool.Well, there doesn’t seem to be any word on pricing or availability of this Lian Li T1 Pitstop, but if this is the beginning of a new method of advertising for casing/housing, then I am all over this! You hear that casing and housing manufacturers? You want more coverage, make more videos like this one!

Musical Cube

You love your MP3 player, but you love the '80s even more. This doesn't have to be a competition — not if you had an MP3 player shaped like a Rubik's Cube. After all, that Rubik's Cube speaker you got for your apartment a while back gives you that cubical vibe only when you're at home, so you need something for your Rubik's fix when you're on the go.

The Rubik's Cube is a 3-D mechanical puzzle invented in 1974 by Hungarian sculptor and professor of architecture ErnÅ‘ Rubik. Originally called the "Magic Cube", the puzzle was licensed by Rubik to be sold by Ideal Toys in 1980[3] and won the German Game of the Year special award for Best Puzzle that year. As of January 2009, 350 million cubes have sold worldwide[4][5] making it the world's top-selling puzzle game. It is widely considered to be the world's best-selling toy.

Designer Hee Yong Shin's Cube MP3 player also includes some nice touches: the USB port is only visible when you twist the layers, and when you twist them back so the player becomes a cube again, the buttons lock — simple and intuitive. But one problem I see is that the headphone jack is also only visible when the layers are twisted, so you can't listen when it's in cube form. And it obviously can't function as a real Rubik's Cube, if that matters to you.
Good thing the Cube is just a concept, then, since it seems Hee still has a few bugs to work out. But it's still a cool design that I wouldn't mind seeing in stores sometime soon.

 it's actually the size of a Rubik's Cube, dedicate 1/3 of the volume to its battery pack. Imagine the listening time you'd have with that much storage.it needs a slide over faceplate for the audio display panel so it can look like a real rubiks cube - but my luck some one would grab it and twist it in the wrong direction and break it

LED Watch


Harking back to the days when it seemed somehow cool to strap a watch the size of a small mid-terraced house to your wrist whilst attempting not to fall over due to the sheer weight of the device (can you recall those digital calculator watches?), this new version of the Star Performer LED wrist watch from Pimp is sure not to go unnoticed.Unlike many of the watches featured on the Tokyo Flash web site (where the new Blue LED version of the Star Performer Wrist Watch is detailed as soon becoming available) 

This watch doesn’t require a PhD in Advanced Code Breaking in order to tell the time as the device operates by simply illuminating one number in each of the 4 columns of digits available.In addition of offering the time and, via a separate mode, the date, the watch will also illuminate a mini Martini glass if ‘it is in 12 hour mode and PM’ apparently on account of the fact that ‘drinking is usually done during this time’ and, curiously, will automatically begin flashing all the numbers randomly (simulating an apparent malfunction) between the hours of 7pm and 1am (perhaps alluding to the fact that you’ve had one Martini too many?). 

Very odd (but then again, the wife’s Peugeot has seemingly been touting repeated malfunctioning as a ‘bonus feature’ ever since she brought it).The Multi-Coloured Version(Doesn’t quite do it for us)The Pimp Star Performer LED Wrist Watch comes in two flavours, either with multicoloured LEDs (which, in our opinion, is only ever guaranteed to make any device, however cool, look hopelessly tacky) or with just blue LED lighting, which looks far cooler, and is due to retail for around ¥19,00 – which is approximately $177 / €120 / £86.

4D Gaming


This concept adds a hole new dimension 2 the feild of real life experience it can dasel u up 2 down and thrill u. its a clear idea 2 project the screen in front of the user rather than fixing in front of him.for example when u are playing a shooter game the 
 Some folks naturally get giddy even when playing an FPS title, and we aren’t even talking about watching a stereoscopic 3D movie yet. Well, if you want to take things another step further, how about this unique hack that sees a Wiimote Zapper being attached to a handheld ShowWX laser projector as well as gyrometer, displaying your screen wherever the Zapper points to? Dubbed the “glasses-free virtual reality first-person shooter,” 


it enables one to look around and navigate through the game-world simply by angling the Zapper and using its joystick. Not something recommended save for those who live in an empty square room with white walls and having all of its blinds drawn down. Check out a video of it in action in the extended post.

DNA Inside .... Wht the ____ ??



Today, most semiconductor chips are crafted from silicon, a relatively expensive material we commonly call "sand." But researchers at Duke University are designing logic chips from self-assembling DNA. The team hopes the process will provide a cheap, easy method of making chips, eventually eliminating the need for silicon semiconductor chips altogether.

To create the DNA chips, engineer Chris Dwyer and his team made and mixed snippets of DNA and other molecules that assembled themselves into billions of tiny, waffle-like structures. Using light rather than electricity, Dwyer turned the structures into logic circuits. Using that process, the team can create a virtually endless supply of logic circuits. The light-sensitive DNA switches can move signals through a device at much higher speeds than computers and electrical circuits that run on electricity. Plus, DNA is cheap; silicon is expensive. Dwyer says that a single grad student using DNA to make self-assembling circuits could produce more logic circuits in one day than the global silicon chip industry can create in a month. We think Dwyer can expect a visit from Intel.
"When light is shined on the chromophores, they absorb it, exciting the electrons," Dwyer said. "The energy released passes to a different type of chromophore nearby that absorbs the energy and then emits light of a different wavelength. That difference means this output light can be easily differentiated from the input light, using a detector.

Cellbot

The Nexus CellBot


Sprint and Verizon may have shunned the Nexus One, but that doesn't mean the handsets can't be put to good use: these Android-controlled, Arduino-powered Cellbots now feature the one true Googlephone as the CPU. At Intel's 2010 International Engineering and Science Fair in San Jose, we got our hot little hands on the DIY truckbots for the first time, and found to our surprise they'd been imbued with accelerometer-based motion control. 


Grabbing a Nexus One off a nearby table, It simply tilted the handset forward, back, left and right to make the Cellbot wheel about accordingly, bumping playfully into neighbors and streaming live video the whole time. We were told the first handset wirelessly relayed instructions to the second using Google Chat, after which point a Python script determined the bot's compass facing and activated Arduino-rigged motors via Bluetooth, but the real takeaway here is that robots never fail to amuse


But In My Personal Opion It Makes A Good Mobile Stand.
JUst Imagine u are setting on sofa or at the door and the mobile follows u and u never even happen forget or need to search for ur mobile

New Way 2 Flip

Motorola FlipOut 




Images of an upcoming Motorola handset FlipOut have surfaced online. Photos of the square shaped Motorola handset were grabbed by Italian HDblog.it. FlipOut has MotoBlur interface layered over the Android Eclair 2.1 operating system. U.S. nationals can expect to see this phone next month in three different colors.Motorola FlipOut has a square form factor in which the screen can be slided to reveal the QWERTY keyboard. 

This square handset has a 2.8-inch display screen and runs Android Eclair 2.1 with MotoBlur branding. Inside the FlipOut, Motorola has packed a 700MHz microprocessor, 512MB ROM, and 256MB RAM so that Android's 2.1 update can run smoothly.Apart from that, FlipOut will sport a 3.1 megapixel camera and GPS.  This phone will support 3G networks. It would be interesting to see how this phone performs against the Microsoft's freshly announced Kin One.The Kin One has more rounded corners and bit stubby looking while the FlipOut is purely square in shape. Again, both smartphones seem to target the social network frenzy audience. In a way, it looks like square-DSi. We're yet to get an official word on this smartphone.

Bycycle For A Breifcase


The TaTo Bike...







swiss bicycle maker tato manufactures a bike designed for the daily commuter that holds the rider’sbriefcase directly inside its frame. instead of carrying your bag or attaching a carrier onto the front orback of your bike, tatos have a small void inside their frame they call cssb (central storage system for bicycles). 



Their belongings simply insert into the 400 x 320 x 95 mm space with no need to secure it further. their central resting point is ideal for maintaining a natural center of gravity. the bike framesimply juts out slightly to surround the object and the added structure protects the good in case of acollision. the bike sells for about 1400 USD.


When riding a bicycle, how should you transport your belongings? A backpack makes you sweat and hurts your back. Rear and front carriers make your bike difficult to ride and park.But the CSSB system, which is integrated into the structure of the bike frame, does not have these inconveniences. The rider is freed from any weight on his or her body. No need to use accessories to secure items, they are simply inserted from the top and do not require any attachment. They are closer to the center of the bicycle and to the ground, making the ride safer.”



One downside of the design is that the spot for a waterbottle mount on the downtube is lost to the cargo area (update: as pointed out in the comments, the bike features water bottle braze-ons on the underside of the downtube) .





Knee clearance would be my other main concern, but it looks like the opening at the top is fairly narrow so that may not be an issue. I do think the CSSB system is an interesting idea that might work pretty well for short 


commutes. It would also be neat to have an optional canvas liner that snaps or otherwise

Skate iPad


The iPad is a tablet computer designed and mlink 2arketed by Apple for Internet browsing, media consumption, gaming, and light content creation.


The touchscreen is a 25 cm (9.7 in) liquid crystal display (1024 × 768 pixels, 132 ppi, XGA) with fingerprint–resistant and scratch-resistant glass. Like the iPhone, the iPad is designed to be controlled by bare fingers, not gloves and styli that prevent electrical conductivity (although there are gloves and styli designed for this use).


Thats What Wikipedia says.....And Know here is something a Pro skater has 2 say



The iPad is a multitasking wonder – it’s a business tool, an e-book reader, a media player and a gaming system. Now we know it can also be a sports equipment, say, a skateboard. Pro skater Chad Knight and Fuel TV host Jeff King test if the iPad is ride-worthy, and yes it is. Kind of. Apple fanboys, LOOK AWAY. This is going to be nasty.Knight’s balancing skills are impressive. The iPad’s weight-bearing skills, erm, not so much.

The Gaming Chair !!!!!

Here I thought that the Pyramat Sound Chair was the ultimate gaming chair, but I was wrong. Very wrong.

That title definitely goes to the Ultimate Game Chair. The name really gets the point across, eh?

This chair is packed with features. To start off, there are 12 vibration motors throughout the chair that are synchronized with the games action. Nerdy and cool.

As far as sound goes, you can use your stock headphones from a MP3 player etc, or plug the chair into your home stereo system to get full surround sound. There are adjustable 3D stereo speakers built into the chair as well.

Any type of gaming accessory will probably work with the chair, including steering wheels and custom controllers.

Comfort was definitely not overlooked when this chair was designed. It’s all leather material, has an adjustable headrest, leg rest, and even a beverage and remote controller holder. Oh, and I forgot to mention that this chair will give you a nice massage, too. Seriously.

Quite a few game consoles are compatible with the Ultimate Gaming Chair, including the PS2, Xbox, Gamecube, PC, Mac, PS1, and Xbox Live. For audio only, you can use all those and your iPod, DS, PSP, or generic MP3 player.

Just to recap, you get a massage chair, beverage holder, stereo sound, vibrators synced to the game, and a remote holder. If you’re a serious gamer, price means nothing, but if you’re not, the $400 price tag might give you some second thoughts.
