Magnetic Paint

French Designer Nicolas Triboulot has developed Magnetude, a paint containing fine metal particles that make whatever you paint with it conveniently magnetic. The possibilities are endless: magnetic wood, magnetic sofas, magnetic Labrador Retrievers, et cetera. Triboulout went so far as to design a fully modular, nomadic house with magnetic furniture and decorations. I really hope…

Sprint is launching the LG VI-125, a camera they announced during CTIA. For once we get a new phone without a camera. LG put a number of features on the handset they are known for including on previous models, including a tip calculator, some customizable “avatar” feature for caller ID, and 30 likely annoying ringtones.…

TiVo To Cross The Pond. No, The Other Pond

PVRblog reports that TiVo is dropping some hints at busting into the Japanese PVR market. Details are non-existent at best, but one thing is for sure: I checked the Nihon Keizai Shimbun myself (the reported source), and didn’t see jack in there about this announcement. That doesn’t mean it’s not true, though. I have a…

360 Degree Toothbrush, Dental Sigma

“Dental Sigma” is the name of a new toothbrush from Vivatec of Japan, sporting toilet bowl brush-like round cleaning head. Each bristle of the brush has a diameter between 0.09 and 0.13mm, so between this and the 360 degree head, you have a total of over 10,000 bristles (more than 10x that of a normal…

Key Stools

I’m not sure if I should be surprised that no one has thought of this before, but Great Big Stuff apparently sells “Great Big Computer Key Seats.” In classic black or beige, the plastic chairs “hold your backspace just like your finger rests in a key,” and can be customized with up to 10 characters…

Novac’s Media TVGate, TV Tuner/Switchbox

Many TV tuners cards and boxes have come and gone in the past few years, but I don’t think I’ve seen any that double as a home theater component switchbox. Novac’s “Media TVGate” is just that — although it costs like 19,800 yen, it is amongst the first external TV tuners to have a normal…

Simple USB to IDE Adapter

The days of not-so-expensive drive enclosures are over. On Friday, we passed up the opportunity to report on an interesting new adapter from Japanese vendor Evergreen. The “DN-IDE3525″ is an extremely straightforward approach to getting any IDE device attached to your PC via USB 2.0. Plug the USB cable into your PC, plug the other…

Rio Chroma Pre-Order Details

GenerationMP3 is reporting details of the Rio Chroma, as French retailer Mult@pass mistakenly (?) places it up for pre-order. While it shares much of the same look as the Rio Carbon, it appears to be a 20GB player with a 65k color screen, typical Rio multi-format support (including OGG Vorbis and FLAC), and an interesting…

Creative Zen Neeon

An anonymous source sent us information about an upcoming MP3 player from Creative, rumored to be called the ‘Creative Zen Neeon.’ The 6GB hard disk-based player shares a lot of similarities with the Zen Micro, but is intended to appeal to those who might find the Zen Micro too gauche. Instead, the Neeon comes in…

ENV Hydrogen Motorcycle Prototype

A British hydrogen company is showing off this ENV prototype motorcycle this week as a showcase for their ‘CORE’ fuel cell platform. There’s no plans to produce the ENV, but that’s okay—where would you get the hydrogen? (Obviously, the company hopes to work around that in the future.)

Plant-Air Backpack

Harmut Stockter has created a piece which he calls his “Plant Backpack” (actually, Planzenrucksack) that allows its wearer to breathe the fresh air generated by the plants kept in the portable greenhouse while allowing the wearer to provide the plants with their much-needed carbon dioxide. His back-mounted study in symbiosis of course means that you…

GM Vehicles To Include Audio Input Minijack

GM has announced that some of their 2006 line will include a standard minijack, allowing you to plug in your MP3 player using its headphone jack. I’ve seen a few stereo units with this functionality, but GM is the first to announce it as a built-in, universal (read: not iPod-exclusive) feature across the product line.…

V-RAMBO WristWatch Monitor

Say what you like about the Israeli Defense Force, they know how to name a technology. The ‘V-RAMBO’ is a wrist-mounted TV that can receive tactical video broadcasts from drones and military vehicles to make for quick target recognition. It’s sort of crazy huge, though, and has a thick video feed cable running up the…

Europe Sony PSP Grey Market Going Strong

Reuters has a story detailing the grey market sales of Sony’s PSP in the UK, something sure to continue as the European launch of Sony’s new gaming portable has been pushed back a few months. You can’t beat a 3x mark-up if you’re a retailer, I guess, but I’ve just never had the early adoption…

LG PM70 Portable Media Center

Infosync has details of an as-yet-unreleased Portable Media Center device from LG, that looks a lot like the DVX-POD 7010, except that it’s an actual Windows-branded unit. The first generation of PMC devices were crippled, in my experience, by their need to transcode every type of file into Windows Media versions before copying it to…
