Sleep Well In Clouds

2010-06-23T23:09:00.000-07:00

This is more like a ball pillow bed like first of its kind. Its one of the post that i have loved the most writing. It is named as the Daydreamer furniture. u might have noticed that it is all Made out from artificial fur(a common feature in most of the furniture today), low-density foam(which makes it mobile and light , easy 2 carry), high-density foam and canvas.

The very soul of the product that is the BALLS are all forms off-course to work with one another, basically they are very much in link with the neighboring balls.on The outside of the bed nine of the balls of this sofa are made with low-density foam for a comfortable experience, while the rest of the 40 balls are all filled up with high-density foam.

As coming to the design Between every 3 balls there is a gap, through which any near ball can fit in and stay put in position so does it applies for the every connected balls. As made of soft form each of the 9 perimeter balls can be easily squished, put through the gap between the 3 balls which gives it the ability 2 expand, stay, Thusly. As the intelligent design and the pics speak for themselves the bed can be a LOT more of different shapes and uses. As coming to extend of its use it can house seven fully grown kids(Adults).And if there is a day when u want 2 wash it then FEAR NOT !!!!!! A simple zipper will separate out the outer fur from the inner and can be washed with ease just like washing ur jeans or pants

Watch UR Speed

2010-06-17T08:33:00.000-07:00

if my freind u r a racing fan and really enthusiastic about it and if u also happen to be a automobile lovers and a mad fan then u are looking out for a new watch as innovative and fun as u are.

the watch which u see is actually a Speedometer Watch from a popular design group which has come up with a amazing fusion that simply is admirable called Projects. It’s looks are its edge and the most attractive appeal to the story but some thing else that also catches on is its appeal to race forward in a overdrive as it also keeps perfect time and balance to speed.

its a product more of concern to maintain its high quality design,it represents a speedometer on a tough tire band for your wrist. It’s basically more of a clock just like a ordinary that makes u seem that your arm is getting ripped around the track in a full tilt! and here is also lights dials and any possible thing you might need to get your time dealed on the race track well.

The so very Speedometer Watch is purely made out of stainless steel making it shinny strong and smart. It has got a real rubber which is used in racing tyres to act as a band to attach to your wrist it also has a FLIP LOCK that makes very certain that it stays on your wrist really well making it self a very perfect fit or lets say sizing.It comes in 2 colors black and RED (my personel fav)

Mercedes In 2050

2010-06-12T03:09:00.000-07:00

You heard it here first, folks, 2050 is the new 2010. Remember when the year 2000 was the tag people put on their projects to push them conceptually into the future? It’s not that anymore, it’s the year 2050, and that’s exactly when designer Felipe Palermo places his “Mercedes-Benz Arrow” concept. You’re gonna be driving this in 40 years. That’s a long time from now! You’ll have to buy it for… your grandchildren?

Man. Future!One of the big ideas here is that in the future, during the week, suspended rail systems will be used by the majority of the citizens of the major cities. Thus, this car must be a recreational vehicle made for use for fun on the weekends. The layout of this “Arrow” vehicle is done by TANDEM, the designer aiming to draw comparisons to other leisure vehicles such as motorcycles, jet skis, and personalized aircraft.This car works with a system of opposing magnets, MAGLEV, which allows the vehicle to take on some amazing curves. The tires allow for rubber to be re-injected once breakdown of the first set occurs, allowing for longer life and less (maybe even NO) dumping of waste because of wheels.

simple Smart Compact Bottle

2010-06-12T03:01:00.000-07:00

its simple smart and compact.its channel 4 for kids and people of all ages.its simply a 4 hole bottle that has so very 4 compartments for 4 of your fluids or lotion or any other stuff like that.it reliable and more of a understanding to the concept of tight fit packing and travelling.

its not any thing like conventional bottle or any thing as container its different its a multibottle for multi purpose.looks engenious and very coll with its glossy looks and nice design has a good market and know for its concept offcourse.

It’s not a new fragrance by the popular couture brand that I’m getting here at, instead a clever packing design for travel kits. The number of lotions that metrosexual males and divas have to carry on their outstation trips is endless. Chanel 4 in One packs in 4 different lotions into a combo bottle and fits tidily in your suitcase. If I really must be picky about this near-flawless design, then I’d have to go with the glass bottle. For travel, plastic bottles are safer.

Future Taxi

2010-06-02T08:26:00.000-07:00

This rather wildly designed concept car is called the “Swing Beginner” – it’s what’s the start of what’s probably going to be a spectaculalrly fabulous line of Swing cars, this one acting as sort of training wheels for the whole line. It’s designed by Yanchao Wang to act as a solution for the future world of infinite population and zero room for gigantic cars and trucks. Welcome to the future of simply “inside and outside” – Wang’s way of saying we can no longer afford to drive in a car with any more room inside and out than we need.Bare essentials can be design-elegant, aesthetically sassy, perfectly to the point.

This vehicle is made to transform, though, as the potential 3-seat configuration can change to a 1-seat+storage just as fast, and the trunk is set on extend or shrink mode. Whatever size you need.The entire Swing system is set on the idea that you’re basically in a fish tank. When you push your body to the right, the vehicle moves right. Forward and you move forward. It’s the same in that if a big fish throws itself toward the side of the tank, the water inside the tank moves too, and if you’ve ever seen a cartoon fishy in your life, you know that fishbowl’s going off the counter soon!Forward, backward, turnaround, all is possible due to the no-rotation-radius wheels and gigantic window section. Getting in and out’s all in the front. Riding around is smooth. You can wear part of the car around as a backpack. What more could you possibly want out of a cutie pie vehicle like this? And it’s only the beginning!

Button Your Usb

2010-06-02T08:18:00.000-07:00

In the 21st century if anything comes out in small and short space its not a big deal i guess....but if some thing comes out really handy and reliable in its presence its a top innovation so ..i just found this ultracool co-operate usb for ur shirt.

its hot and Straight from James Bond Tuxedo Lab which come up with these USB flash drive cuff links(on your shirt button). Each of this link in the pair has 2 GB of storage for you and very availableto the need of accessing critical documents dovetails on the right time and it also provide a kind of secure feeling too with a black tie affair.

i imagine they useful in a number of ways ..when you have to give an important presentation in frount of some big bossess or some foreign dignitaries also they can store some handy data or an another way to store embarrassing pictures that of your freinds or buddy to use in your best man toast (or roast).

i have one concern: If you take the flash drive(usd) out,or let us say that ur drive just fail 2 maintain the contact or get loose in other words, or do your cuffs fall apart? Because that would be awkward or really a pain in your poket.The cuff links are finished in either some heavy metal value or gunmetal costing around $195 per pair.

Music For Deaf

2010-06-02T08:02:00.000-07:00

If you belive that the deaf people can't register sound or let us say cannot hear sound or music in their life then you are completely wrong because know with the help of this next generation music device thry can, all clear and loud.

A German designer or let us say inventer had come up with a conceptual device or in other words a music player that will give the deaf people to "feel" music....i mean they can actuall listen 2 it know but in a different mode offcourse. Dubbed "Music for Deaf People", the device comes in a different shape than conventional ....it's like a collar or is a collar...that converts auditory input (the music that we here) into vibrations that triggers ...

Know there is the tricky stuff this vibration from the collar do into ur head and make u feel as if u are listening music speaking that in technical language "the same sound-processing brain regions as those with normal hearing. So the theory is that instead of hearing music", which means that you'll be able to listen out of your skin it self, which sounds a little creepy i guess at first sight but really futuristic in the secand thaught. This device will fit snugly around your neck, and you could theoretically wear it while you're jogging around the park or working right under the nose of your boss, though we're not sure how the act of jogging would affect the vibrations or any other physical activity

Automation is a wonderful thing, and if you want more transport options to be automated too, check out the Iris Autonomous Transport, which is like a robot cabbie that you're able to flag via a text message, and give your destination via the same method. This vehicle will obviously be using ...

A subverter four-wheel soil buggy matured by the Blind Driver Challenge aggroup from Colony Tech’s Robotics and Mechanisms Laboratory was the prototypal drivable container for the blind. With the neutral to accommodate the development in profession and mechanisation in transport, specializer Eric Leong has fashioned a futuristic robotic automobile for the blindfold – he calls it the IRIS. The free instrumentation container is a bonny spreading of anything semiautomatic ever made, presented the fact that the IRIS takes book messages as instruction input, and then using the GPS and another much futuristic technologies guides the lazy bumps and the visually challenged around the municipality and elsewhere. Designed with blindfold in mind, the IRIS could also be a automobile for the low-income demographic.

Foldable Speakers

2010-05-29T10:35:00.000-07:00

Folds flat for travel. Works both ways, folded or flat.
The accordion style design creates a large resonance chamber and makes the sound richer than most other small speakers and the built in amplifier makes the unit much louder.
Connect the USB power cable (included) to standard USB port or insert 2 AAA batteries (not included) then connect the 1/8" (3.5mm) min jack to the media player or game of your choice. Turn on the speaker and let 'er rip. adjust volume directly through the media device.

The beauty of the Music Accordion Speakers is that they are compact, yet spread their wings when the need arises. Fanning out like the musical instrument, the two extendable arms maneuver to face any direction, resulting in personalized sound effects! Two suction cups at the center gives it the flexibility to latch onto surfaces and be twisted to eccentric shapes, just for fun! Needless to say it syncs with all the latest PMPs and phones.

The attractiveness of the Music Accordion Speakers is that they are condensed, yet spread their wings when the for arises. Fanning out like the dulcet gizmo, the two extendable arms maneuver to semblance any directing, resulting in individualized resonate effects! Two suction cups at the center gives it the conformableness to latch onto surfaces and be twisted to exceptional shapes, fair for fun!

concrete USB

2010-05-29T10:28:00.002-07:00

Using concrete for tech products is almost unheard of, so this Memory Weights USB Stick crafted from cement comes as a pleasant surprise. I really dig the way the capacity of the USB is branded into the block. Just to add a fun twist; the weight of the block is similar to the capacity in terms of grams…so simple and elegant, yet rugged!

Want to know the capacity of your USB drive? Just look at the label. With such an easy method, we wonder why designer Shu-Chun Hsiao bothered to create a concrete version that weighs (in grams) exactly the same as the internal capacity.Still, this is an interesting idea to explore, if rather impractical. Will it ever hit retail? Well, if it does, we know it will make the perfect door prize at a seminar for the construction industry.

The Google Tv

2010-05-22T06:03:00.001-07:00

Google TV is a software platform for set-top boxes and HDTVs based on the Android operating system and co-developed by Google, Intel, Sony and Logitech. The project was officially announced by Google and its partners on May 20, 2010 (Wikipedia)

It's a software platform...

You know how the Nexus One is a piece of hardware by HTC that runs Android, a piece of software by Google? That's how Google TV will work. At its heart, Google TV is a platform. It's software. Hardware makers will need to step up to use it in their devices.

...that Logitech, Sony and DISH will support...

Right now, there are three places we'll see Google TV: a set top box by Logitech, Sony televisions (and one Blu-ray player) and an upcoming DISH box. They all share the following common specs: An Atom (or better) processor, discrete GPU, HDMI-out, Bluetooth, IR (with a transmitting "blaster"), Wi-Fi, and Ethernet, all while supporting a keyboard and a pointing device, as well as more traditional remotes such as Logitech's Harmony universals

...works with existing cable/satellite box...

Equipped with an IR blaster to change channels, Google TV can sit on top of your existing infrastructure. So while new hardware is in the works, it should be compatible with whatever you're using now—cable or satellite boxes, with all relevant subscriptions.

...that works just like a Google search...

When you start any Google TV device, you're greeted by a simple search bar. You type what you'd like to watch. That can be a television station, allowing you to select and tune that channel. Or it can be a show, which will point you to places you can find the show—be that through a cable subscription channel, Netflix or somewhere on the web.

...that combines the web with TV...

So say you want to watch something that only exists on Amazon's streaming service. You'll be taken to Amazon's webpage through Chrome, where the video will stream. Random websites might look crumby on your television, of course, which is why Google asks that sites optimize for Google TV (full SDKs available in 2011). With this mix of web and television, you can also view multiple sources of information in multiple panes. So you can watch the Sox game on one part of your screen while reading Paul Konerko's realtime stats in another.

..that combines your TV with your phone...

Thanks to required Google TV hardware specs like Bluetooth and Wi-Fi, you'll be able to load a webpage on your Android phone and beam it to your TV. You can also use your Android phone's voice recognition, effectively making it possible to change channels or search for shows just by talking.

...that runs apps...

Oh, Google TV includes complete access to the Android App Store. And Google suspects that most any app will run fine on the platform, though those designed with cellphone-specific hardware in mind might not work with 1:1 compatibility. But when the SDK is available in 2011, we can expect Google TV-specific apps, too.

...that still has some tricks up its sleeve...

As of yet, Google has barely scratched the surface of what this seemingly unparalleled integration of TV and web can do, but they demoed one wow-worthy function: firing closed captioning through Google Translate—translating a program in real time. Just try to tell us that's not neat. (We will translate any negative comments into a language we don't understand—in real time.)

2 Bikes Become 1 Car

2010-05-21T12:08:00.000-07:00

This is the real deal in modern wild design. This is the “Plug-In” affordable youth mobility project by Ramesh Gound. According to Gound, there is a big “buy 1 get 1 free” shopping attitude in the market around the Ahmedabad area of India. This simple concept gave Gound the idea to take two motorcycles and attach them in the middle. Each motorcycle is owned by its respective party, a young person with a big appetite for sports vehicles but a small pocketbook, then they attach. Once two motos attach in the middle, they become that fantastic sports car from heaven.Two drive-by-wire bikes are owned by separate people. They wanna attach them for a longer drive or some sort of trip that’s not great for motorcycle, or hey, if they just wanna cruuuze… they attach in the center of the two.The hood is made of D3O, which when the bikes are not attached, stows away in the bike configuration. This whole concept is aimed to take on congested cities such as Mumbai.NOTE: some info from Gound — This project is my final year Diploma project at National Institute of Design, Ahmedabad India sponsored by Renault Design India.

Inspired by India's "buy one get one free" mentality, designer Ramesh Gound has created a concept where two motorbike owners can join them together, creating a fancy sports car for longer drives.Gound's idea has sprung from his diploma project at the National Institute of Design, and was actually sponsored by Renault Design. While the car manufacturer doesn't actually make motorbikes, perhaps they'll offer Gound a job when he leaves school—I'd love to see these dual motorbikes/car hybrids on the road.

Lamp With A Measuring Tape

2010-05-21T11:13:00.000-07:00

This week check out the Model Citizens and one of our favorite finds was this cleverly constructed measuring tape lamp that comes in both metric and standard measurements. Hardly the sort of lighting choice you’d find at grandma’s sewing station, measuring Light is a device made from coiled measuring tape as it transforms ticks of a functional and smart tool into an eye catching and innovative modern design with a compelling graphic Themes.

it is an innovative and elegant design and it just is a lamp, the innovativeness and creativity of the product is in its whole sense of measuring light with a tape of cm raped around it. It conveys a hole new dimension of thing to the view and surely will blow ur ground as it looks really phenomenon and magnificent in real life

Each pendant lamp is handmade yes handmade as it is unique using a spool holder and a large electric-powered bobbin winder (think giant sewing machine like thing). The bobbin which tops off the lamp functions as both a structural element and a source of ventilation, and continues the aesthetic from which it’s inspired. Spun from spools of either centimeters or inches, these beautiful lamps are able to communicate a contrasting set of values — practical, visual and otherwise. Source

I’m not a big fan of study-table lamps simply because I can’t stand the surrounding darkness. Always creeps me out, but I’m sure most of you students need to invest in one. Sharing dorm rooms, you can’t disturb your mates right! So when you use one…how much light is sufficient for you? How about a lamp that lets you decide the luminance. Swipe a finger or span your palm to get “As Much As You Need Light”. Just the right amount of focus and light!

exactly, one led that dims will have the same candela output. why use 50 leds some of which will never be used unless you want the light to be very bright. you can still swipe to alter intensity. but these already exist.exactly, one led that dims will have the same candela output. why use 50 leds some of which will never be used unless you want the light to be very bright. you can still swipe to alter intensity. but these already exist.Sorta redundant but so stylish, haha.

The collaboration withGoogle is another step in this direction to make it even easier for the public to plan their trips with transit information on Google Maps”, said Mr. E Sreedharan, Managing Director, Delhi Metro Rail Corporation.

Manik Gupta, Product Manager, Google Maps & Local said, Google India said, “Google Transit’s goal is to make public transport information easily accessible and useful. With just a click on a station, commuters can get information showing timings, stations, passing lines, frequency of service etc. As Delhi Metro becomes the favoured public transportation for thousands of commuters every day, it would benefit by attracting new commuters and helping existing commuters to discover new routes. All this will be available on desktops as well as mobiles to make it easier for the commuters.”

Gigabyte has unleashed its latest monster performance GA-X58A-UD9 motherboard to the masses. The GA-X58A-UD9 has a new 24 phase Unlocked Power design, 4-way graphics support including NVIDIA SLI and ATICrossFireX.

It also has a range of Gigabyte features such as 333 Onboard Acceleration and On/Off Charge as well as the proprietary Gigabyte Unlocked Power technology with all new 24 phase design. The Gigabyte GA-X58A-UD9 provides maximum power delivery for Intel’s latest 1366 socket CPUs including the new Intel Core i7-980X Extreme Edition (6 core) CPUs as well as upcoming extreme performance CPUs from Intel, ensuring utmost system stability and overclockability.

Tim Handley, Deputy Director of Motherboard Marketing at Gigabyte Technology said: "Gigabyte set out to completely redefine what is possible performance and feature-wise on the X58 platform, and the GA-X58A-UD9 truly delivers on both fronts. “Providing the industry’s highest caliber CPU power delivery with our unique 24 phase Unlocked Power design and including all of the features which set GIGABYTE motherboards apart from the competition, the GIGABYTE GA-X58A-UD9 fits into a whole new first class category all its own.”

The motherboard also has Gigabyte's Unlocked Power feature, which is said to deliver better durability and longer component lifespan due to what it claims is the industry’s first Dual Power Switching design. When Dual Power Switching is activated, 2 sets of 12 power phases operate in tandem, automatically turning on one set of 12 phases and powering down the other 12, allowing the non active set to rest.

By sharing the power workload between 2 sets of power phases, the Dual Power Switching effectively doubles the lifespan of the power phases. Additionally the feature also has a built-in Auto Failure Protection, so if one power phase is damaged or fails, the motherboard will automatically disable its group of 12 phases, allowing it to still operate using the other set of twelve, unlike a traditional motherboard which would be unable to boot.And those worried about power needn't fear this monster as the Gigabyte Dual Power Switching temporarily suspends, and the full 24 power phases are automatically unlocked, allowing for maximum power delivery. For overclockers and power users, this means the full 24 power phases can be activated to deliver the highest amount of CPU power currently available on any desktop motherboard.
