Who knew you could pirate vinyls? Well, I guess when you think about it all you need to do it make a die or mold, fill it, and you’ve got your vinyl, but the process sure looks cool anyway. It certainly makes pirates work a little harder for their prize than simply downloading off the internet anyway. Oh, you’ll need a wooden box, glass, window cement, silicone mixture, liquid plastic and a drill press too.
As they say on their website, “the Pnoe speaker, being a large horn, is more suited to listening rooms with 3m or more distance between the listener and the speakers.” Now that’s my kind of stereo speaker, and in red and black, they look stunning. Now, to clear some space in my living room. Order here. More
We generally hate 3D technology when used for films, but these holographic images, make using an iPad are amazing. By AirCord Lab.
The iPad has gotten the technology world a little tablet crazy. So what’s better than a tablet? A tablet with two screens. Though Microsoft’s dual-screen Courier device got canned before making it onto the shelves, Toshiba are hoping to follow through on what looks like early promise with the Libretto W100. Sporting two seven-inch screens and adequate specs across the board, the device does though run on Windows 7, rather than a touch-specific OS. Don’t get rid of your iPad just yet.
Nation’s ‘Like’ badges are amazing. You can get dislike badges too, Facebook should add that. You can buy them from the Nation store. More
We pretty much universally hate 3-D here at Fan the Fire, but none one would argue that this camera is damn cool. Clash Of The Titans jumping out of the screen? No thank you. But home movies? That sounds amazing. Sure, it’s as much of a gimmick as ever, and at around $20,000 an expensive one at that, but recording the new born in 3-D sounds like an interested prospect, and though the Panasonic Pro Twin-Lens 3D Camera is cutting edge tech. right now, expect the resulting videos to look as bad as 25 years down the line as those from the 1980s do now.
Apple are reigning the technology industry at the moment. They’ve sold a heap of iPads already, I take it you have heard of the iPhone, and Macs far outstrip any Windows device (yes, I’m a recent convert and proud), but now Google are starting to get into the hardware and home entertainment businesses. Android and the Nexus One brought about their debuts in mobile phones, and now they want to take on how you watch TV. Powered by Android and running the Chrome browser, Google TV will fully hook in online services to your home entertainment service and use their search prowess to hunt down almost any video online.
Sebastian Rønde Thielke and Anders Højmose has invented a cool way to keep track of your work flow.
Protecting your iPad is pretty much top of the list for new owners, and the DODOcase certainly does a pretty good job. Styled like a hardback book or Moleskine diary, the iPad sits snugly in the wooden frame with the possibility for shallow or wide titled for use either on your lap or to watch movies upright. It’s a snip at $50 too, although Hard Graft’s cases are still our favourite.
It’s always good to be prepared. We’ll surely get a zombie break-out one day, or maybe you want to be safe rather than sorry in case of a police raid, well the BuryBunker Underground Storage Safe is made from 10 gauge steel and will fit your average sniper rifle, a boat load of cash and your secret documents. It’s water tight too and a snip at $400, considering what might be inside.
