More Photos

Released for Verizon Wireless, the Samsung FlipShot uses a unique twisting design to snap photos. At first it looks first like a phone but when the screen is rotated 180 degrees, turns into a camera with a high resolution screen with features such as a flash and in-camera photo editing software. Allowing photo enthusiasts to take high-resolution pictures of a similar print quality as a standalone digital camera, the Samsung FlipShot offers an integrated 3.0-megapixel camera with autofocus, zoom, and video recording capabilities. Other media features from Verizon Wireless include VCAST Video to view high-quality shows and VCAST Music to download music directly to the phone.

Usb Flexible Portable Rubber Keyboard

Direct from out How-Did-I-Live-Without-It department, we have the Flexible Portable Keyboard! Not only is it a full size 109-key keyboard that can be rolled up, folded, and generally squished into handy pockets, but due to it’s fully sealed silicone rubber design, it is waterproof, dust proof, mud proof, coffee proof, sticky-kids-drink-proof and resistant to all those substances that make a keyboard … well … icky. If a drink does get spilled on it, just run it under the tap to wash it off.

Do you have a laptop? Of course the big down side to smaller and smaller computers is that the keyboards get smaller and smaller too, which makes something that was merely tricky to use, downright impossible. Of course, you could pack an external keyboard alongside your lappy, but they aren’t exactly small (or robust for that matter) and it would probably treble the size of your luggage and you’d be finding random bits of keyboard in your bag for weeks afterwards.

Usability and ergonomics haven’t been sacrificed either. The soft, comfortable keys are easy to use, and its slim design allows an excellent work posture, minimizing wrist flexing. The silent action makes it ideal for use in a library or on a train, or anywhere that noise may be frowned upon. It even has caps lock, number lock and scroll lights, just like a conventional ‘hard’ keyboard.

• Rolls up or folds to fit a handy pocket or space in your bag
• Full 109-key US PC keyboard
• Ergonomic and comfortable to use
• Dust proof, water resistant and easy to clean
• Robust silicone rubber design
• Almost silent soft-touch key action
• Connects to standard USB and PS/2 keyboard connectors
• Light weight (349 grammes)
• Please note that colours may vary

Thanks to its slim size, and light weight, the Credit Card Digital Camera can be carried in almost any pocket, even a shirt pocket, and be virtually invisible. You’ll have no excuse not to have a camera with you all the time to capture those unexpected moments!

Despite its size, its not short on features:

MP4 Watch 2GB

Ever since Dick Tracy sported a watch that did more or less anything the discerning gadget lover could ask for, we’ve hankered after something a little techier than a calculator watch to adorn our tiny wrists. And we think we’ve finally found it in the shape of the 2 GB MP4 watch. Not content with playing back video on its 1.8inch OLED screen, the MP4 watch also play MP3 files and has a FM radio function too. That’s not to mention its skills as a digital voice recorder. So now you can slip 500 songs, 10 full lengths flicks or 76 music videos onto your wrist and take them with you wherever you go. You can also view pictures on it. After all, who leaves the house without their watch? And how many times have you forgotten your MP3 player? That’ll all be a thing of the past.

Main Features: 2GB flash memory MP4 player, MP3 player, Digital Watch and Voice Recorder USB 2.0 or 1.1 compatible Supports MP4/MP3 format 5 hours of continuous video playing per full charge 1.8″ 65K OLED true colour screen High resolution 128 x 128 pixel image Gives time and date Supports MP3,WMA and WAV format 12 hours continue playing music per full charge Includes FM radio External speaker/headphone socket High-quality digital recording facility Preset EQ modes Support text reading (ebooks) Support JPG, BMP format for image viewing Packing: Gift box

World’s fastest human ever

What was the world’s fastest human?

Normally when referring to the world’s fastest human the world record holder of the 100 meter dash is considered to be it. Our quest was to find out who actually attained the fastest speed ever, a record which was set way back on May 26, 1969.

The title of world’s fastest human actually goes to three humans, Thomas Patten Stafford, John Watts Young and Eugene Andrew Cernan.

These three men reached a speed of 24,790 MPH or 39,897 km/h on board Apollo 10 during their return from the Moon.

That translates to 6.88 miles per second or 11.08 kilometers per second.

  • 983,571,056 feet per second
  • 1,079,252,848.8 km/h
