A market leader in flash memory, it’s no wonder Kingston Technology is the first to unveil a USB flash drive with a whopping 128GB capacity!

The DataTraveler 200/DT200 Flash Drive is enhanced with Windows ReadyBoost (Vista-based systems) and includes Password Traveler, a feature that lets you create a password-protected “Privacy Zone” to safeguard your most critical information.

It also comes with a 5-year warranty and a hefty price tag. I’ve seen as high as $1,065 USD, depending on the retailer.

Hindsight is more than 20: 20

technogeek — Wed, 01 Jul 2009 12:25:31 +0000

Biking in the city, sometimes you wish you had 360 degree vision. Especially with increased cars that seem distracted, especially for drivers talking on the cell phones and driving at the same time.

Nike has come up with a concept design for cycling glasses called the “Nike Hindsight” that will help riders see traffic approaching them from different angles.

Normally, most people only see about 180-degrees of forward vision, by using the curved “Fresnel” lenses it extends the riders field of vision by up to 25 per cent on each side. Beyond cycling for the daily grind, I can see these glasses as a wonderful tool for sports including track and field, marathons and even professional cyclists. Imagine riding in the Tour de France with the Hindsight and being able to see other racers approaching you without turning your head back.
Specifications

Status: concept
Designer: Billy May
Production date: unknown
Increased vision: 25 per cent on each side

Umbrella Shelter

Michelle — Tue, 30 Jun 2009 03:09:54 +0000

Here we have a nice weather shelter that’s a hybrid between an umbrella and a tent. If you seek real protection from everything the beach dishes out, this Umbrella Shelter is for you. It water proof so, light rain protection is a given. I wouldn’t suggest using the shelter during a storm… duh. You get sun protection that blocks out 99.7% of UVA and UVB rays. That comes to a UPF rating of 50+. If the wind starts kicking up, then two side panels fold out and stake in the ground to provide nice wind prevention. With the panels out, you get up to an 80 inch diameter of protection! A nice little bonus is the side screened windows that open up, giving you great cross ventilation if gets a little toasty inside. Of course, all of this fits into the included shoulder bag that you will never be able use once it out the first time. It’s the thought that counts…
