Hasta La Gadget!

The idea of a flexible display is an enthralling one, but right now, the technology is not quite viable for mass production just yet, so you will just have to be happy with the phablets that are flooding the market at the moment. For those who tend to do a whole lot of traveling to deliver presentations, surely a whiteboard is an essential tool to have at the venue, especially with your collection of markers to write down your thoughts and ideas for the audience to mull over. Do not leave things to chance when you can carry the $29.99 Zipboard Roll-Up Travel Whiteboard around with you.

Yes sir, this is one whiteboard that you can take with you anywhere you go, without having to be bogged down by bulk, and it is even small enough to be carried on a plane as hand carry luggage! The whiteboard will retract in the same manner of a scroll for supreme portability, and best of all is, the whiteboard surface would become rigid when it is extended. Each purchase will come with dry erase marker that are located in the base, while there is also an integrated eraser located on the back. Even better is, nothing will be erased even when it retracts, allowing you to “save” whatever you have jotted down for another presentation to a different set of audience at a later date.

Remember the Cocorobo robotic vaccum that could send you pics of your newly-cleaned carpet? Sharp is going to be doing a lot more of that kind of thing soon, if a recent demo at its research center in Nara, Japan is any indication. Since the company has been losing gobs of money on its tepid LCD-panel business, it’ll soon be using some of that tech in completely different industries: for instance, converting powerful LED lighting from TV backlights to grow lamps, and touchscreen TV panels to interactive whiteboards. Sharp admitted to PC World that it needed to branch into other businesses since “rivals have been able to catch up from behind” to its LCD TV and mobile phone businesses — and judging by the drastic actions the company’s taken to stave off disaster lately, it’ll need to hustle those products to market, stat. Check the video after the jump to see some of the prototypes in action.

I don’t always agree with the choices that Nicolas Cage makes with regards to his career, but I definitely have a strong opinion about his hairstyle – or his lack of one. Nicolas has been sporting variants of the same boring old ‘do for as long as I can remember. If it bugs you as much as it bugs me and his legions of fans and non-fans, then the good news is that there’s something you can do about it.

You won’t be able to make him change it, but you can try to convince him by showing him what he looks like with the help of a couple of dry erase markers and this handy dandy Nicole Cage whiteboard from Brandon Bird.

So you won’t be able to use it for anything else, but at least you’ll be able to have tons of fun and tons of laughs while you unleash your creativity and share it with your bestest pals.

The Nicole Cage hairstyle whiteboard is on sale for $20 on TopatoCo.
