ON AIR Wrist Watch



Designer Iskender Asanaliev from Turkey has come up with the ON AIR wrist watch where the hour hand will point out to the current hour while minutes are being displayed in the digital format on the hour hand. This device is probably the coolest fusion of analog and digital worlds.
whats even cooler is that the display is touch sensitive. if you are in a dark surrounding and want to see the time, just press the centre of the display for 5 seconds.
Once the LED flashes, you can push either the upper or lower corner of the display to set the hour, while the left and right corners will set the minutes.
(This shall be quite interesting!)

Topps 3D Baseball Cards


Topps have been there since a long time in the business of baseball cards. Now it has decided to bring these cards to life.
Fans in possession of a card can place it in front of a web cam and see a 3D avatar of the respective player on the computer screen. Wat's even more interesting is that the avatar on the screen rotates as you rotate the card. Theres even more, the player also performs a signature move.
This phenomenon called “augmented reality,” a combination of a real image with a virtual one.
Well now people have got a reason to collect cards in this internet age where facts and data about any player are avilable at a click.
A dozen of cards are priced at $2.

Western Digital 8TB Sharespace


Western Digital came up with a monster storage device which they claim is enough for a small office (What kind of small office needs 8TBs man??). This device is capable of streaming data seamlessly to devices like Xbox 360 and PS3 and also include features like improved read/write speeds of up to 30% for large media files.
Seems pretty compact as far as 8TB devices go(well how many are there anyways?).
Now comes the hard part , this device is gona dig a big hole in your pocket because it is priced at a huge amount of $1700. But after doing the math its comes round about $.12 per gb.(now thats worth !! or is it??)

BMW Designworks USA has showed off their latest thermaltake PC case at 2009 CEBIT exhibition.This futuristic looking PC Case is aimed to cater to the visual needs of hardcore gamers.
Unlike traditional PC case, all individual components of this computer are mounted in separate compartments and then attached to a central base. So consequently there are no internal cables visible including the one for hard drive,fan and power cables too(except for the external power cable of course)
This is an awesome product which looks like a state of the art apartment complex where the elevators are indoors but the hallways to everyone’s domiciles are out in the open air.
