Arvus Prerenaissance is a loudspeaker, a good one at that with a difficult name. The New Zealand Company Arvus has unveiled their Prerenaissance loudspeakers, as the culmination of 25 years of speaker development. Ok, so though its not pleasing everyone’s design sense (including mine) it does have a lot many reason to be called likeable. Starting from the bottom up, the plinth is made from hand carved granite. Four chambers house a quasi-five-way design. I dunno what that is...
Hip, all the rage and rocking! That’s something BoomCooler already is and that is also something you will be, once BoomCooler is yours. It will up your cool quotient and also be your new-fangled reason of endless boasting. The BoomCooler essentially packs a car stereo into an ice chest which obviously does not stock your beer or beef. On the contrary it features a CDX-GT320 AM/FM radio and CD Player, two 6” x 9” 240 Watt Max 4-Way Speakers,...

The hotel is a 12th century Italian villa tucked away in the hill top village of Ravello and perched high on the cliffs. So that’s a pinch of history, a...

Singapore Airlines, Dubai's Emirates Airlines and Australia's Qantas Airways Ltd. are using their new A380s to push the envelope on cushiness, entertainment and design. Talking of goodies, they are too good to be true but thank your luck or their engineers the too good time is here. When...

They specially produced a doll with the name "Licca–chan" who wears a tiara and gown studded with 881 diamonds, a total of...
British company Very PC has come out with the Fulwood, a Mac Mini-sized desktop computer. The company claims that it uses just 16 watts when idling. If you remember the Shuttle X27 PC, it was low power too, but this baby beats it by a good 23 watts. That is saying a lot. Even though it is energy saving machine, the green PC has not compromised on performance. The Fulwood is capable of four times the performance of rival...

Ready for the road the body is dust and moisture sealed, and features Leica's new S-system bayonet lens mount, for the new line of S...
At cost of reducing high-tech to a circus performance, Japanese firm Murata has developed a robot that can balance itself on a unicycle. The 20"tall robot called Murata Seiko-chan can ride a unicycle with much aplomb and does a better job than most of us here. Modeled on a female kindergartener, the robot features a pair of gyro sensors that detect her posture and angle. A single wheel moves the robot forward and back, and a rotating flywheel in...
