Tranquility Pod brings you to a whole new world of relaxation

tranquility-podWe live in an extremely stressful environment, that is for sure. Just take a look at the number of suicide cases around the world and you get an idea on what is going on around us. Of course, this has led to another business opportunity where folks start to look out for different ways to unwind and relax, and this has led to an entire cottage industry of spas, public baths, and massage parlors. Well, how about owning a little slice of heaven in the comfort of your own home? This is what the $30,000 Tranquility Pod is all about.

The Tranquility Pod will rely on various factors to send you into cloud nine, focusing on pleasant sound, gentle vibration, and soothing light so that your body, mind, and spirit will be transported to a tranquil state of relaxation. Specially handcrafted from fiberglass to be turned into a smooth, shiny gel-coat surface, the pod’s ellipsoid exterior is able to block out 90% of outside noise, as its interior foci ameliorate music will be played back via the built-in 80-watt, four-speaker sound system through an iPhone/iPod or smartphone.

With a subwoofer which is capable of generating gentle vibration via the bed, it will resonate such sound waves through the body in order to impart restful harmony. The pod’s biofeedback system itself is touted to be an exclusive feature which can only be found from the likes of Hammacher Schlemmer, where it will rely on a pulse sensor which will synchronize your heartrate with 50 LEDs that have been housed in the pod’s inner perimeter so that it can create ambient mood lighting that will hopefully, calm the mind. There will be LEDs that change colors at your command from the built-in controller or wirelessly from an iPhone or smartphone app.

I do wonder, however, just how effective this should be, especially when you have taken a loan from the bank to pick up this $30,000 appliance for your pad. Thinking about how to pay back that money is headache enough for most, so it had better work as advertised!

How Does Bill Gates Make It Through The Work Day?

How Does Bill Gates Make It Through The Work Day?

Microsoft’s Bill Gates is letting people how he makes use of technology in his work day. He has three monitors that he uses (as pictured) and all of them are hooked up to the same machine. This allows him to drag things across from one monitor to another in order to maximize his work area. His Outlook is on the left screen, then he views emails in the center screen and uses the screen on the right to browse the web.

His email is probably the best filtered in the world, since he has a personal secretary that composes a list of emails he receives that aren’t on his permitted list. His permitted list consists of people from HP, IBM, etc…

The amount of papers you will find on his desk are next to none. He wants almost everything in digital format for easy transferability and easy sharing. He uses the Web to get 90% of his news and OneNote to take any notes in a meeting.

The software he uses the most is Outlook, SharePoint (software for collaborating with others), OneNote (digital note taking), and Communicator (instant messaging and phone integration).

Honestly, I was expecting his office to be a little more extravagant than what it is. I am sure there is some stuff under-the-hood that he didn’t discuss like using a Pocket PC and possibly voice-activated devices in his office. The three 21″ monitors are a nice touch though 🙂 .

    Nokia Lumia Icon Makes An Appearance On Verizon’s Website (Again)

    Nokia Lumia Icon Makes An Appearance On Verizons Website (Again)Verizon and Nokia are expected to announce the Nokia Lumia Icon a.k.a Lumia 929 soon. The handset has made countless appearances in leaked photos, appeared on Verizon’s website, appeared and sold in China, but yet we still do not have an official announcement or release date yet. We really have no clue what’s going on over at Verizon, but the handset has once again made an appearance on Verizon’s website and appears to cost $777 on and off-contract, which is odd because $777 with a new two-year contract should be much cheaper, so if we had to guess, it looks like the website went live a little earlier than expected. It also looks like customers will be able to order the handset in either a black or white finish. (more…)
