Kinetic Light Newton’s Cradle delivers some light up goodness to your desk

kinetic-light-newtonIsaac Newton is definitely one of the more notable thinkers in the history of mankind, where his Newtonian laws continue to be studied and applied even until this day. Well, I am quite sure that many of us, when we were younger, were fascinated by gizmos on certain mahogany desks that did play out Newtonian physics, such as the Newton Cradle. However, the folks over at Thinkgeek decided to bring things to the next level with the introduction of the $49.99 Kinetic Light Newton’s Cradle.

The name of this particular accessory says it all – the Kinetic Light Newton’s Cradle is a futuristic take on this classic desk accessory, where each glass sphere would sport bright, multicolor LEDs. Specially designed and manufactured by Thinkgeek, it is the ideal tool to lose yourself entirely especially when you have had plenty of work and are not quite able to figure out how to handle the accumulated stress. The lights on this advanced Newton’s Cradle will react based on their position, where starting a kinetic chain reaction with one ball will let you observe how the others change color in response. The half dozen AA batteries ought to be able to power the shebang for approximately 13 hours of non-stop use.

Amazon Fire TV review: the set-top that tries to do everything

Here’s the thing about Amazon: We can’t figure the company out half the time. Few things embody that quite as well as the Fire TV. The company is adamant that the set-top box is not a gaming console, but it’s invested heavily in original game…

Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel Announced For PS3

Borderlands: The Pre Sequel Announced For PS32K has just announced their latest entry in the Gearbox FPS series, where it is known as Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel. Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel would place you squarely in a time between Borderlands 1 and 2, where it explores the rise of Borderlands 2’s charmingly sadistic villain Handsome Jack. One more thing – the game is set to happen on the moon.

If you are itching to dish out some digital punishment, fret not – with Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel, you will find yourself not running short on offensive opportunities at all. There will be new laser-based and “Cryo” weapons (Cryo weapons happen to be an all-new elemental damage type, and when you bring together fire from laser and ice from Cryo, I am quite sure that this bit has awakened that itch on your trigger finger) that will be part of the armory that exists on Pandora, where you have the choice of taking on the mantle of one of four new characters: Athena – The Gladiator, Wilhelm – The Enforcer, Nisha – The Lawbringer, and Claptrap – The Fragtrap.

Expect Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel to arrive later this fall for the Sony PS3 platform. Suddenly, fall seems to be really, really far away, right? Any takers? [Press Release]

Nokia 225 Is Slimmest Affordable Internet Handset


Nokia continues to make their mark, not only in the high end side of things with the likes of a Lumia 1520 released, but also in the entry level market with the Nokia 225 being introduced, where it is accompanied by the Nokia 225 Dual SIM variant. Both models intend to deliver the Internet to the masses, and will not burn too large a hole in your pocket in the process.

Touted to be Nokia’s slimmest Internet phone to date, both of these models will arrive with a larger 2.8” display that makes it perfect for slipping into a pocket and handbag, in addition to keeping you entertained as you are on the move. Apart from that, those who lead active lifestyles need not miss a beat, since the Nokia 225 comes with a dust and splash proof keymat, standby times of up to 36 days for single SIM and 27 days for Dual SIM, now how about that?

You can choose from red, yellow, green, black and white colors, while a 2MP camera at the back handles any impromptu moments when you need to snap a photo. Oh yeah, with Nokia’s Xpress Browser, you can browse the Internet while keeping data costs down since website data will be optimized before it arrives on your device. Expect a starting price of 39 Euros for the Nokia 225. [Press Release]

Interactive TV Bus Is World’s First

Interactive TV Bus Is World’s FirstJust when you thought that the world of advertising could not get any more interesting, along comes this unique interactive TV bus that has been touted to be the first of its kind in the world. Basically, experts and those with adequate technical know-how spent over 1,000 man hours in order to transform a standard issue double decker bus to create the world’s first interactive TV bus, where one side of it comes covered with over 230,400 LEDs.

This particular bus happens to be owned by Curb, and it has been hailed to tour London already so that it is able to promote the launch of London Live, which happens to be the first dedicated 24/7 TV entertainment channel in the capital.

The size of the screen itself measures a whopping 36 square meters, making it the largest vehicular screen that has been built to date, and it is also the largest outdoor TV screen in London (if you do not take the one in Wembley Stadium into consideration), delivering over 24 billion colors at one hundred frames a second. You know something? I would like to see which would be the first couple that will actually use this unique interactive TV bus to agree to a marriage proposal. Looks like some concepts are realized sooner rather than later.
