It is guaranteed to last fifty years by the makers. “The seconds are displayed at 3 o'clock on a cylinder linked directly to the crown. 9 o'clock forms the tail of the “spaceship””. The watch bears a strong connection to Star Trek since it the TV show has strongly influenced the making and design of the watch.]]> http://www.gizmodude.com/freakfuturisticfun/hms_automatic_warp_watch_is_inspired_by_star_trek.php http://www.gizmodude.com/freakfuturisticfun/hms_automatic_warp_watch_is_inspired_by_star_trek.php Freak/Futuristic/Fun Star-Trek Watch Tue, 22 Jul 2008 11:21:32 -0400 Euro 2008 is just passed us but the football fever still remains and keeps us asking for more. How about this fridge that (according to me) needed to be around for the countless number of travelers who made their way to Austria and Switzerland for the summer games. It is shaped like an football and opens up to expose the various facilities and compartments that accommodate cans of beer. It connects to the cigarette lighter of your car and has a capacity of cooling six cans of beer at a time. What can be better than feeling and being cool in this hot summer? We still have the Olympic games coming up and although driving to the venue is impossible (given the location of the games) there isn't much that should be missed as far as our vain sport enthusiasm is concerned.]]> http://www.gizmodude.com/freakfuturisticfun/football_fridge_for_soccer_loving_travelers.php http://www.gizmodude.com/freakfuturisticfun/football_fridge_for_soccer_loving_travelers.php Freak/Futuristic/Fun Fridge Mon, 21 Jul 2008 11:10:39 -0400 Aren’t you tired of the peppy looking MP3 players that have gotten sleeker by the day? How can one even think of carrying these along with elegance? These are all about looking cool and definitely, looking cool isn't possible with the formal attire that most of us carry to work. So here’s something that looks as much at home on a three piece suit as a pair of cufflinks. It’s called the Gentleman MP3 Player and has a single line LED that displays the name of the track that’s playing. It somehow reminds me of railway station indicators, but who cares a damn. When you want the music you should get it (without too much compromise). The ingenious design is something that will provide you with the perfect disguise of a music-holic. Just clamp it to your tie and pack the flash memory with your favorite music and no one can tell whether you’re listening to Pavarotti or Pantera (save for those who pay close attention to the display)!]]> http://www.gizmodude.com/audiovideo/gentlemen_mp3_players_guess_where_the_musics_playing_from.php http://www.gizmodude.com/audiovideo/gentlemen_mp3_players_guess_where_the_musics_playing_from.php Audio/Video LED-display MP3_Players Fri, 18 Jul 2008 03:30:44 -0400 If you are among those people who have a hard time holding onto a can of chilled beer for too long then you can get hold of the Beerhandle. It is basically just a clamping tool that helps you grip your can of beer. The grip of the holder is firm enough to keep the can from slipping no matter how many cans you are drowned with. These are among the best few gadget reviews that help making drinking a better, smarter experience. Cheers to all you geeks!]]> http://www.gizmodude.com/drinkware/beerhandle_to_the_rescue.php http://www.gizmodude.com/drinkware/beerhandle_to_the_rescue.php Drinkware Beerhandle Tue, 15 Jul 2008 10:10:38 -0400 If you end up in a place that requires sandals with sneakers or vice versa then the humiliation is rather unbearable. So here’s a good new product by German fashion company Nat-2. The 2 in 1 sneaker (as you may have guessed by now) can function as both, a sneaker and a sandal. All the matters is how you zip the thing. More than the different kind of footwear pleasure you derive, you can also match different combinations of colors to create a brilliant self made sandal. Well, the question that arises is where you do these activities when in an emergency. You will end up looking like a cobbler anyway.]]> http://www.gizmodude.com/shoes/nat2s_2_in_1_sneaker_saves_some_grace.php http://www.gizmodude.com/shoes/nat2s_2_in_1_sneaker_saves_some_grace.php Shoes Fashion Nat-2 Mon, 14 Jul 2008 09:58:42 -0400 I dread those mornings when I need to wake up early but the beer from yesterday simply has a strange tranquilizing effect as it begins to take control over your senses and drop you into a hangover. So we have some interesting alarm clocks around the block that have implemented some crazy ideas that have resulted in breakages, damages and even pointless screaming by the ‘victims’ who eventually end up thanking the clock. The rocket launcher alarm clock works in the similar nerve. It starts a countdown the moment the alarm goes off. If you still do not wake up then the rocket is launched somewhere in the room. To stop the alarm you need to relocate the rocket and replace it on the clock.]]> http://www.gizmodude.com/freakfuturisticfun/rocket_launcher_alarm_clock_makes_sure_you_wake_up.php http://www.gizmodude.com/freakfuturisticfun/rocket_launcher_alarm_clock_makes_sure_you_wake_up.php Freak/Futuristic/Fun Time Machines Alarm_clock Fri, 11 Jul 2008 03:04:08 -0400 The main reason that most people forfeit skating or refuse to take it up is the fact that they are afraid of falling. All those who are prone to gravity hugs can now breathe a sigh of relief and do what they have always envied others do: skate. The Cali Hoodie is a special hoodie for skaters who tend to take a dip into the hard concrete surfaces that they are supposed to roll over. The material is light in weight and easy to carry around. There is a hole for skaters to stick their thumb out. This provides the skater with an unrestricted movement and mobility.]]> http://www.gizmodude.com/apparel/cali_hoodie_protects_skaters.php http://www.gizmodude.com/apparel/cali_hoodie_protects_skaters.php Apparel Concept Safety Skating Fri, 11 Jul 2008 02:59:02 -0400 Amongst all the already existing digital pens in the market we have the Pentop that adds a little more to the most common feature of memorizing and storing the text that you write with it. It also provides with useful features like an MP3 player and a facility to download data on different subjects. You can download various software like translators to help you with translation of various languages while on the move. This means that you can write with it in English and at the same time get the texts translated to French and Spanish. You can also solve your arithmetic problems by downloading appropriate software.]]> http://www.gizmodude.com/freakfuturisticfun/fly_fusion_pentop_is_a_pc_in_a_pen.php http://www.gizmodude.com/freakfuturisticfun/fly_fusion_pentop_is_a_pc_in_a_pen.php Freak/Futuristic/Fun Concept Pen Wed, 09 Jul 2008 10:25:06 -0400 Flash drives have always fascinated me with their shapes and added capabilities in recent times. The whole idea of having a flash drive that is built on a theme is fascinating. This time we have a cool flash drive that’s made to look like an Ultraman figure. If you are wondering who the h*** he is then let me take you back to the 1960s when kids would implore this early superhero. And the reason even your dad will have a hard time recollecting who the h*** he is is because this was a Japanese superhero. So these dudes had superheroes in metal outfits from those days. And look at us; imploring men in red, black and blue underwear!]]> http://www.gizmodude.com/computers_accesories/ultraman_flash_drives_is_cute.php http://www.gizmodude.com/computers_accesories/ultraman_flash_drives_is_cute.php Computers & Accesories Flash_drive Fri, 04 Jul 2008 09:59:09 -0400 Parents do well to keep their kids outdoors so that they have some fresh air in their lungs rather than the violence and sex from TV shows in their head. But there may be situations when it is good for you to keep your young ones under the roof rather than outside. The John Jaques Air Cadet Table Top Air Hockey (phew! long name) can keep them inside for as long as the novelty doesn’t wear out (at least). The table has motors that help in creating an air cushion, over which the puck floats. This also ensures minimum friction that ultimately results in high speed movement across the face of the board.]]> http://www.gizmodude.com/gaming/john_jaques_air_cadet_table_top_air_hockey.php http://www.gizmodude.com/gaming/john_jaques_air_cadet_table_top_air_hockey.php Gaming Air-Hocky-Table Fri, 04 Jul 2008 04:19:48 -0400 This is indeed something that can make you feel the magic of the moment. The Super Side Bar doesn’t need to rack your bottles and drinks over one another in an elaborate cliché manner. You can place five of your favorite drinks up to ten feet away and still enjoy the bliss of sipping your favorite drinks. To make sure that the drinks do not end up getting mixed into a crazy cocktail there are five separate pumps available for each drink. The Side Bar can be programmed fully to serve you well and just the way you want to be served with flawless operability. It needs 110 volt AC current to work or 12 volt DC. You can make the most of this on drunk and dizzy evenings.]]> http://www.gizmodude.com/drinkware/super_side_bar.php http://www.gizmodude.com/drinkware/super_side_bar.php Drinkware Side-Bar Thu, 03 Jul 2008 10:18:48 -0400 Here’s a bar tender who will serve you chilled drinks and that too without much of a fuss. The remote controlled beer cooler makes life a lot simpler rather than hire a barman to aide you as you drink to your hearts content. The remote controlled beer cooler does a lot more that most other drink dispensers we have seen in recent times. It is battery operated and can move in all four directions (forwards, backwards, left and right). It can carry up to a dozen bottles or ten cans. The remote control is very simple with the four directional buttons so that you do not need to rack your brains over a complicated design structure when you are all drunk and woozy.]]> http://www.gizmodude.com/drinkware/remote_controlled_beer_cooler_eases_your_drink.php http://www.gizmodude.com/drinkware/remote_controlled_beer_cooler_eases_your_drink.php Drinkware Cooler Remote-controlled Wed, 02 Jul 2008 07:15:47 -0400 Besides the 12 inch tongue, blood-stained-axe-shaped bass guitar and bat-wing costume, Gene Simmons is also knows for his fantastic marketing talents. He endorses everything that's got KISS on it. This light is testimony to what I claim. It's the head of the prolific bassist with that ever famous tongue sticking out. Just that this time it isn't blood red or dripping with blood or anything of the sort. It's just full of LEDs and fiber optics that give it the glow. Now you can use it to scare away the kids from your draw or to pay respects to the legendary, blood spitting bassy, If you think that it is worth the $60 price tag that's attached to it then make sure you get one soon. Not many copies of Gene-endorsed goods remain.

It looks a little uncomfortable to use but is perfectly useful and easy to use. It weight 1.3 ounces and measures a minimum of two inches when folded. It is shaped like a turtle that’s thrown on its back and is wriggling for the love of its life. It is made of metal but also has a turtle-shell-like touch on it as well. It is designed by designer Boyd Ashworth. Handy, stylish and odd in its own little way, this pocket knife can get the job done when you need it the most (if you know what I mean). The Boyd Ashford Turtle pocket knife costs just $40. Isn't that a cheap price for a concept?

The cool line of accessories by Nathan Leon has made a lasting impression on me. It has provisions that enable you to carry your world with you wherever you go and still feel comfortable. The cool sling backpack in this collection is called the Setgo Transport and is made of nylon. An elastic strap in the front makes sure all your slim gadgets are well secluded from the bumps of your rough travels. The rear has a special compartment that can accommodate larger things like wallets and portable gaming consoles. There’s also a cool wallet and a steely keychain that forms part of the collection.]]> http://www.gizmodude.com/accessories/cool_modern_accessories_by_nathan_leon.php http://www.gizmodude.com/accessories/cool_modern_accessories_by_nathan_leon.php Accessories Fashion Setgo Wed, 25 Jun 2008 07:39:17 -0400
