Nail your Computer with Plankton Flash Drive

I can't count how many times over the years I have wanted to take a hammer to my computer for one reason or another. I am sure you have felt the same way at some point. If you like to make people look at you funny while you are looking at your computer; you may well have some odd flash drives like the Hacked flash drive we checked out a while back.

Porsche 911 Convertible plated with 24-carat gold

Hey, this was just some random find off the internet, it seems some rich person (woman I presume from the look of the spoiler) decided to make abit of adjustment to her Porsche 911 Convertible completely with gold. This adds 50 pounds more to the weight of this pretty car, but then again, I suppose this particular driver didn’t really care about driving fast, just the shiny looks!

What do you think?

Save $75 on the Sony BDP-S300 Blu-ray Disc™ Player w/code BDPSAVE75, now just $324.99. Ends July 31.

Geeky USB Watch

Most geeks I know don't even wear watches anymore, The Timeless Watch looks old school, and rather like something that I won in a gumball machine when I was eight. The watchband looks like it is made out of a ribbon cable from inside a PC. The clasp is the USB connector and the watch gets its power from your USB port apparently. As for the display, it's a simple LCD that shows the time and date in circa 1980 fashion. If you want one of these you are out of luck, it appears to be nothing more than a design concept. Perhaps you can rig one up for yourself.

I Hate O2 having the Iphone!

Blue=Coverage | White=no coverage

I got the Iphone 3G Saturday on the network O2, the only network you can get it on in the uk but everyone nows in my home town gilfach goch that O2 dont work very well So before i went to get it i checked the O2 website to see if that has changed (if they've put new masts up lately so it will work in my home town) and i got good news from the little coverage map where you type your post code in and it gives you a little map of where the O2 coverage is! (shown above)

So that all sounds good and i went to buy the iphone. I got the phone home plugged it all in, activated it with itunes and put all my music, photos, contacts and apps on it, then put the thing on... only to find in the top left hand conner where the signal strength was meant to be there was two words NO SIGNAL! At this point i was not happy with O2 but i had to go to work so i decided to take it to work with me to see if it works there (up the top end of my valley) as i work there most of the time and it wasn't so bad if it had signal there! If you've you've read this fear thank you your a true reader. Back to my iphone story.. The Iphone just didnt have signal there either. so the most time of my days is spent in my home town and i have a phone that dont work in it! I realy was happy at this point and decided very quickly i am taking the iphone back to the O2 shop to make a big fuss and to stop the contract! :( I HATE O2

Will update on this subject when i know more.

A World Without Money!

The question 'Can you imagine a world without money' or 'wouldn't it be a awesome world without money' often comes up in chat rooms and video streaming (eg.ustream, blogtv, stickam) and the answer that comes for it is always yes but... dont they think if there wasn't any money there wouldn't be any shops because they wouldn't make money or have any reason to have a shop and if theres no shops there wouldn't be any makers/manufactures because they wouldn't have a reason to make anything.

So if there wasn't any money, there wouldn't be anything! We would be cave men (again) I wouldn't like that, not that iv been there before!

iPhone 3G Not Working with All iPhone Accessories

All is not well in Apple land with some buyers of the new iPhone 3G. Many of the iPhone 3G buyers already own an iPod or the first generation iPhone and have multiple accessories to go along with it from speakers to docks. Many of these new iPhone 3G owners are finding that their pricy accessories won't work with the iPhone 3G.

Users have complained that many accessories that worked with the original iPhone, like the Bose SoundDock, won't operate with the iPhone 3G. Exactly why the accessories won't work with the new iPhone 3G isn't known. Some speculate it's because the original iPhone would work with USB or FireWire connectivity to accessories and the new iPhone 3G is USB exclusively. If you have an iPhone 3G, be sure to buy accessories like the Macally powerlink that specifically say they work with the iPhone 3G.
