Bullet stopped by a battery?

January 11th, 2011



Just a normal day for John Garber as he went to work on the 6th of January, where he’s a valet in Atlanta. However, things turned ugly for some reasons, and he nearly died of a bullet when some punks rain bullets into a club that he’s working at. Luckily for him, his HTC phone battery saved his life by stopping a bullet. And we always hear about phones and even Gorilla Glass that won’t be able to stop a bullet. But how much of the odds that didn’t get covered by research and TV shows that John had. And I thought that the battery would explode due to the bend that the bullet did, but it didn’t.

What’s this CGI film trying to say?

January 11th, 2011



Check out this very awesome CGI short film. It’s created by design studio Charlex. What’s more is that there’s a ‘Dreams’ poem by Fitzgerald Scott accompanying Peter Lauridsen’s score. Mix with Gabriel Byrne’s narration, and you can’t think of what it’s trying to say. At first I thought I was looking at a car advertisement. Now, I still think I’m looking at a car advertisement. Seriously, I can’t brain this!

Smartfish Engage keyboard automates ergonomics

Ergonomic keyboards, they’ve been missing in the market for such a long time. All these while we’ve been looking at normal rectangular keyboards with some funky bling-blings, but now Smartfish Smartfish have finally released its opus into the world: the Engage keyboard.

It’s got a new moniker, a classy all-black look, and a very pricey $150 MSRP pricetag. Outside of the tilted design and large palm rests, the keyboard has an internal motor that moves the position of the two halves of the keyboard based on your typing frequency. Kewl right? I mean, a motor in your keyboard? The company says that the periodic position adjustments apparently help fight off fatigue, an approach developed in conjunction with The Hospital for Special Surgery in New York City. And I thought such keyboards will just die out because they tend to split up the keys, and I can’t get used to that.

Samsung’s 9 Series laptop in February, slim obsession like a supermodel

Samsung’s 9 Series laptop in February, slim obsession like a supermodel

Samsung announced their new 9 Series at CES, and surprisingly it’s coming as early as February. This 13.3-inch machine has LED-backlit display with 400nits of brightness. But being slim doesn’t make it a walking bone, as it also has some hidden muscles that should fare very nicely. Powering this sexy Sammy is Intel’s new 1.4GHz Core i5-2537M Sandy Bridge CPU (notice the 4 digit numbering), and also a 128GB SSD which should help make this drive less noisy and hot while making it beefier too in terms of raw power. Having a MSRP of $1,599 however isn’t very good news, but that shouldn’t make this new sexy laptop break in the market that it’s pursuing.

Sony Ericsson X10 Mini Pro successor out for another casual stroll?

Here we have another Xperia phone going round the winds of China, but hold on, didn’t Sony Ericsson just announced the Xperia Arc at CES? This is different though, it’s the rumoured X10 Mini Pro replacement. Well, the X10 Mini is among the more notable successful product from Sony Ericsson, unlike its brother the X10 that didn’t fared nicely. Hopefully this time around the new X10 Mini Pro will be performing much better.

This Is the Perfect House If You Are a Cat

When your house’s structure has more spaces for your cats to roam around like the house above, dude, just admit it: you’re living in your cat’s house! This just reminds me of a friend of mine that keep on going very random with the phrase “cat is going to UK!”
