I’m not sure how this will look like, but covering your mouth with a bra sounds like an act a Japanese pervert would do. I’ve got an image of the dude fantasizing, with his eyes drifting away into fantasy. But Dr. Elena Bodnar thinks otherwise. Taking inspiration from the catastrophic Chernobyl nuclear plant disaster in 1986, she’d designed an Emergency Bra, which will be commercially available on September 28, which she hopes that the rest of the world can “get a feel of [sic] the product.” Read more…

And you won’t hurt your back while carrying them too, at least according to them. It’s a “gadget dock” according to Quirky, which can itself be charged up and then in turn charge up to three different USB gadgets simultaneously. Well the whole thing comes in the bag, so of kush there’s dedicated laptop sleeve, and plenty of pockets for all your gears when you’re running around saving the world. It’s even TSA-friendly design. Of course, this is a Quirky project, which means it’ll just remain a concept unless it manages to raise enough funding through pre-sales. Ready to do your part to make it happen? It’ll cost you $130 at the source link below.

Do you consider a camera that cost as much as a small hatch to be cheap? I don’t know man, but I’m confused. Though, we’re talking about medium format here, so it does go beyond your personal camwhoring little Sony camera. Hasselblad has brought down their most affordable camera to a level that they consider to be a steal. Their H4D-31 represents the ‘cheapest’ lineup for their famous medium format cameras, promising goodings of the H4D-40 but at a fraction of the price so you still can keep your arms and thighs. Things that you’ll get would be 31-megapixel glory, and a choice of either an 80mm prime lens or a CF-lens adapter to let you fit in all your V-System gears that you already have.

Sony did not mentioned this during the Tokyo Game Show, but they’re “soon” releasing a new PlayMemories application (kinky name eh?) that will allow you to view both 2D and 3D photos that are captured with a 3D-enabled camera, on your PlayStation 3. Well Sony does have an ‘extensive’ 3D-capable camera lineup, which is the NEX-5, NEX-3, WX5, and TX9). This application will be downloadable from the PlayStation®Store. Sony mentioned a “late September” release, but after looking at the calendar, hey now is already late September. So I guess we’ll be seeing this available any time now.

Apple Inc. has just momentarily surpassed PetroChina Co. to become the second-biggest company in the world, by market value of course, all thanks to investors betting on growth prospects for the iPhone, Macintosh and iPad. Be reminded thought, that this is the ladder of ‘market value’, not annual gross revenue, which Apple currently stands at 197 according to CNN.

Apple climbed as high as $292.76 in intraday trading on the Nasdaq Stock Market, giving it a market value of $267.5 billion, the second-highest company behind Exxon Mobil Corp. By 4 p.m. New York time, Apple slipped to $288.92, putting the company’s value at $263.9 billion, less than PetroChina’s $265.5 billion valuation.

Looking back, Apple’s stock has more than tripled since January 2007 when they introduced the iPhone, which somewhat revolutionized the smart phone market. As of currently, the iPhone itself account for almost 30-percent of the company’s annual revenue. Another factor which leads to Apple’s ‘victory’ here would be the introduction of their iPad tablet device, which as of now has already outsell their successful nine yearlong lineup iPod.

“There’s no reason at all Apple can’t grow much, much bigger,” said Jane Snorek, an analyst with Minneapolis-based First American Funds, which has more than $100 billion under management, with Apple as its largest technology holding. Apple still has a small portion of the market for phones and computers, she said.

Gene Munster, an analyst at Piper Jaffray Cos. in Minneapolis, said that Apple will sell 21 million iPads next year, an increase from his earlier estimate of 14.5 million. The company is expanding distribution channels, selling more internationally and increasing sales to businesses. Apple’s stock could reach $390 a share, Munster said. Analysts surveyed by Bloomberg on average predict a share price of $342.81 in the next 12 months.
