24kt Gold iPad Air oozes with luxury

ademov-24kt-ipadair1Gold is something that everyone looks out for and would not mind owning lots of in their lifetime, and for the Pharaohs of old, even in the afterlife. The thing about gold is, it is extremely rare and limited in quantity, which is what makes it all the more valuable. We have seen blinged out iPads in the past before, but none of them will be like the 24kt Gold iPad Air.

After all, this particular one will have been engraved, laser cut, polished, plated, clear coated, and comes with a CNC’ed black acrylic inlay. In a nutshell, it happens to be the most intricate iPad that has been ever created by the folks over at Computer Choppers. The asking price for the 24kt Gold iPad Air stands at $5,000 a pop, and they will be available in extremely limited quantities since only a handful of these puppies will be sold each year. Basically, the folks behind the 24kt Gold iPad Air claim that the amount of time and labor spent on making just one of these puppies are just plain ridiculous, being more of a test of skills and new equipment than anything else. Oh yeah, bragging rights also come in handy, that is for sure.

Temperfect Mug ensures you have the perfect cuppa, every single time

temperfectThere is nothing quite like sipping on your favorite beverage first thing in the morning, with your favorite breakfast menu laid out before you. The thing about coffee and tea is this, you only have a certain window period where you can get the best taste at the right temperature, before it starts to get all cold. Well, with the Temperfect Mug, it is the ideal tool for you to own in order to enjoy your hot beverage for hours on end, all without having to burn your mouth ever again. The Temperfect Mug is the ideal home “appliance” that is the brainchild of hot beverage experts Dean Verhoeven and Logan Maxwell.

You know what they say – necessity is the mother of all invention, and having been frustrated with the inability to drink a lovingly brewed coffee right after making it, only to be greeted with a cold sip afterwards, the Temperfect Mug was invented. Basically, the whole idea of this particular mug is to take the excess heat out of the coffee which is way too hot, stash that heat in the wall of the mug, and then follow up by using it to ensure that the coffee remains at a pleasant drinking temperature. All of this is made possible thanks to the additional layer of insulation thrown into the mix.

This particular additional insulation layer will be able to absorb the excess heat from your drink, where it will then be able to bring it up to a comfortable temperature in a jiffy. The stored heat will subsequently be released slowly into your drink, ensuring that the temperature remains just right. The Temperfect Mug is a labor of love, as it took months of calculation and modeling to complete, before another 15 years of making, testing, and improving prototypes. Now this is real dedication that we’re talking about!

Research shows eye-reflections in photos could be used to identify criminals

Did you ever watch CSI’s tech boffins zoom into a photo, grab the reflection in someone’s eye, and through processing magic generate a full facial image of the wanted criminal? If, like us, you rolled your eyes at the program’s “Hollywood” …

Paick Noble mobile power bank caters for all of your portable power needs

paick-nobleEver hit the road and realized that your smartphone or tablet does not have enough energy left in its battery reserves in order to last the distance? That can be quite a bummer, especially when you need to get that all important email sent out on your smartphone, or to be able to pull a particular document from your cloud storage service over the tablet. Of course, it has become second nature to many of us to charge our power hungry devices each evening before we retire for the night, but there are some of the more hectic times in our lives when we forget to do so, only to have that tinge of regret in the morning when we wake up. Paick intends to do away with that by introducing the Noble at CES next year, where this extremely slim mobile power pack for your portable devices measures just 0.5” thin, whick packing in a whopping 6,000mAh of juice.

Being so thin and yet not larger than your average wallet, it is the ideal tool for business professionals to tote around in their back pocket or bag. Sporting an intelligent pop up, dust-proof dual USB and a single microUSB slot that caters for a range of smartphones, you will not be able to find any other kind of portable power packs at such a slim form factor. Not only that, the asking price of $49.99 a pop is definitely within the financial comfort zone for many.

The battery used in the Noble would be a Li-polymer battery, which is touted to be more stable as well as safer compared to Li-ion batteries. The Noble will play nice with the likes of the iPhone 5, 5C, 5S, Samsung Galaxy, HTC, Android phones, tablets and majority of USB devices out there, holding enough juice to fully charge your iPhone up to three times, a Galaxy phone twice, or an iPad once.

Apple Loses on New Movie Releases

This article was written on May 05, 2008 by CyberNet.

Last week we wrote about how iTunes was getting new movies and making them available to purchase the same day as the DVD release. This is a pretty big step for Apple, and now we’re learning that they’re actually losing money on these new movies. The Wall Street Journal reported that while Apple is selling newly released movies at $14.99, they’re actually paying the studios about $16 for each movie. This translates to about a one dollar loss on each movie sold which adds up over-time.

Why would Apple be willing to take a loss? Our guess is because they feel that the loss will eventually turn into big gains if they can get people to regularly buy movies from them. Clearly, they’ve been extremely successful selling music, but they haven’t experienced quite the same success in selling movies. This could help bring in new customers and new customers could provide sales in all areas of iTunes including music, movies (not just new releases), and TV shows.

Movie studios end-up benefiting from sales of the digital format as well because they save costs in distribution and returns. The WSJ says:

Apple hopes it can translate some of its music success to movies. If it works, studios could end up making more money, too. While the wholesale price that studios are getting is less than they make selling movies to traditional retailers, studios will end up with a bigger profit for each sale, executives say. Their savings will come from the elimination of expenses like distribution and returns, which don’t exist with online movies.

In the end, iTunes really isn’t the big money-maker for Apple anyways, the hardware is. New iTunes customers can help sell the hardware that brings in the money for Apple whether it’s a new iPod to play the music or movies, or an AppleTV for playing movie rentals and watching TV shows.

Sometimes it’s worth it to take a loss and make-up in gains elsewhere which is what Apple is doing here…

Automatically Sort Files by Extension (Vista Gadget)

This article was written on November 06, 2007 by CyberNet.

Magic Folder I just stumbled across a Vista Gadget called Magic Folder, and after seeing that it had been downloaded over 100,000 times I thought it should be something to look into. As it turns out this gadget is really amazing, and can save you a bunch of time.

What it does is add a folder (pictured to the right) on your Desktop or in the Vista Sidebar. Where you put the gadget is up to you. Then when you drag and drop files onto the Magic Folder gadget it will automatically sort through the files according to the file extensions. Images (jpg, png, gif, etc…) will be put in your Pictures folder, documents (doc, xls, ppt, etc…) will be put in your Documents folder, and so on.

Of course this gadget isn’t going to have every file extension pre-programmed the way you want it, so it comes with a fully customizable system where you can specify any extension to be moved to any folder. You can also change where the pre-programmed extensions get moved to.

In case that’s not enough for you Magic Folder can also do one other awesome thing. It creates a “watch” folder in your user directory cleverly called The Magic Folder. When this feature is enabled Magic Folder will automatically scan that directory for new files. Anything it finds in there will automatically be sorted and moved to the respective directories that you’ve specified.

–Settings–

I’m sure one thing that many of you want to see are screenshots of the different configuration options. The developer doesn’t really have any on his site, so I snapped some of my own:
