Skybar Wine Preservation & Optimization System

September 26th 2008 04:45

Serious about your wines? Are you fussy with how well they're chilled and preserved when in storage or served to guests?

Fret no more buddy - let the Skybar Wine Preservation and Optimization System handle things for you. This is, apparently, the first wine bar for the home that not only perfectly chills your reds to optimum temperature, a vacuum inside the compartment also naturally preserves your opened bottle of wine for up to 10 days - for when hangovers just aren't an option.

As you can see, the system features independently chilled chambers for up to 3 different wines with digital temperature readings for each chamber ensuring the wine is served at its ideal temperature, of which, there are 9 wine type presets (white, red, etc.) or use the manual temperature controls and set it for yourself.

Crafted in a premium wood finish so it won't look out of place in your plush premises, this system is perfect for the ~~gear~~ wine lover. [frontgate.com]

Own your very own Astronaut Moon Watch

August 19th 2008 06:32

The Omega Speedmaster Moonwatch Alaska Project

Buzz Aldrin wearing the original Moonwatch

If you were a child of the 70’s then you were probably like me. Fascinated with all things astronomical, wanting to be an astronaut (or better still Steve Austin, that’s the Six Million Dollar Man, not the roid boy synchronised rumbler) and intrigued with any of the technological breakthroughs needed to survive a journey beyond the confines of the stratosphere.

The Omega Speedmaster Moonwatch

The Omega Speedmaster Moonwatch was originally designed by N.A.S.A back in the era of Disco and Farrah Fawcett posters. Now for the first time the public can finally access this Rolls Royce engine of indestructible timepieces.

Omega Speedmaster Moonwatch alaska project

The most unique Timepiece

The only Watch ever to be certified by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration for all space missions, as you would expect its built to withstand all obstacles that come with space travel. Able to cope with the incredible pressure of re-entry, from Gizmodo:
“Its anodized aluminium body can withstand temperatures from -148 to 260° Celsius”.

Omega defines a millenium

Coming in one colour choice solar flare red, there has been no official price tag attached. BUT, with a run of only 2,000 scheduled for release it’s a pretty safe bet that only those able to afford a the quarter of a million dollars for the Virgin Spaceflight will be able to afford this important collectors item.

The advertising begins

The Polaroid Pogo Portable Printer

July 4th 2008 00:48

The Pogo Arrives

The Palm size Printer

Polaroid, the company responsible for mass producing instamatic cameras back in the day is hoping to launch a new tech revolution with its latest consumer item. Released today (July 4th) the Pogo hand held portable printer is looking to replicate the instant gratification that Polaroids original all in one photo development system had.

USB and Bluetooth compatible the Pogo, prints borderless 2 inch by 3 inch images straight from your digital camera, mobile phone or any other new age photographic devices. Compact and portable, the unit is around the size of a deck of playing cards.

The Pogo at work

Using ZINK technology (zero ink printing) the crystalized paper inside colourises when exposed to heat. From the official Polaroid Pogo site:
“The patented ZINK Paper is an advanced composite material with embedded yellow, magenta and cyan dye crystals, activated with 200 million heat pulses, in 30 seconds, in a single pass. With 100 billion crystals in a 2x3" print, the paper is 100% inkless. A ZINK-enabled printer uses heat to activate and colorize these crystals. Because there is no ink, every ZINK-enabled device has the unique benefits of being small, simple, elegant, and eco-friendly.”

Stephen Smith, the company's UK managing director, said: "There's nothing on the market quite like it. The technology is brand new. Everywhere I go people go "wow" when they see it…We reckon it'll be just as successful as any of our previous launches."

A closer look

If like me the majority of images you capture on digital devices end up on your PC but seldom in hard copy, this invention aims to change all that. Costing around $150 US the paper for the machine is $10US for 30 sheets.

Here are the specs from the official Polaroid Pogo Site:
2” x 3” borderless, sticky-back prints
Bluetooth, PictBridge compatible
Smudge-proof, water-resistant, tear-proof photos
Fade-resistant, long-lasting images
No waste – no ink cartridges
Prints in about 60 seconds
Rechargeable lithium-ion battery

RoboMop named after wrong verb

November 3rd 2006 08:15

The RoboMop helps you keep the house floor spic and span, regardless of whether your floor is made from wood, granite, marble, ceramic tiles, or lineoleum. This device is smart enough to move about on its little own robotic ball, picking up dust from the floor and around the air using electrostatic pads.

This means it does a clean sweep but does not actually mop the floor. Make sure you don't have any cats or dogs around the house while using the RoboMop as they will most probably chase it down and give it a few good bites or swipes with their paws, rendering your electronic household assistant maimed for life

We're Lilliputans with the Giant TV Remote

October 26th 2006 07:29

Imagine wielding this bad boy around the house. It is extremely huge and does away with the perennial problem of a missing remote control. The Giant TV Remote does not only control the family's source of entertainment (with the Internet coming in a close second), it is also capable of controlling your DVD player, satellite, cable, auxiliary A/V device, and yes, even the antiquated VCR.

This super-sized home device is powered by a couple of normal AA batteries (what did you expect - a nuclear reactor?) and works with most A/V products available in the market today. For $35, it is worth the price as you can also use this to bonk a thief over the head in the middle of the night when there are no other weapons available.
