Gadgety Girls Must Have 3D Stiletto Police Heels!

by Jay Garrett on February 5, 2010

Ok Gadgety girls!

Some of you no doubt like to dress up and perhaps a future-cop may be part of your repertoire.

If that happens to be true then you’ll be hoping these neat heels become reality – almost as much as us guys ;)

The 3D Stiletto Police have been designed by Tim Cooper and whether this concept gets accepted or not these shoes are very cool.

As you can see, these shoes are wonderfully detailed with graphics, LEDs and even carbon-fibre effect heels.

Let’s hope that these get made eh?

More pics below :)

Those Festive Lights Could Slow Down Your Broadband…….

by Jay Garrett on December 22, 2009

I know that this sounds like something that Transport for London would come up with but that’s exactly what Internet Service Provider, Talk Talk is saying.

One of Talk Talk’s senior directors, Sylvain Thevenot, warned that Christmas tree lights and all that twinkling festiveness can interfere with wireless signals, reducing broadband speeds by up to 25 per cent.

He added: “Last year we received many calls from customers over the festive period complaining about slower than normal broadband speeds and a significant percentage of these complaints were due to interference from Christmas lights.”

So, in order to avoid problems with your interwebs ST say’s try keep your Christmas lights as far away as possible from your router, and to only buy lighting from reputable brands with the CE mark. He also warns that flashing lights in particular are the worst culprits – at no point did he shout ‘Bah! Humbug’

If you find that your service increases when you turn off your strobes let me know :)

Layar is another Augmented Reality app but, because it allows third-party developers to contribute ‘layers’ to their platform, it stands out from the rest such as Kooaba.
You see – most other AR apps pull their data from search engines, Wikipedia or review-based sites.
Layar’s intuative interface has four clear sections that list layers by name [...]

Yup, these 300 gamers all got together in a single room (a darn site larger than any living room I’ve been in) playing games such as Quake and [...]

We all know that booze comes in barrels.
Also that you can’t beat a shot or three of a good bourbon.
Well, this invention is right on target – and you could say that it fires on a hair-of-the-dog trigger.
Nuff of my silly word-play.
This is a Booze Gun!
The Alcohol Shot Gun fires 1 oz of your choice [...]

The Smart Party!! Democratic Tunes.

January 21, 2008 Click to read more →

A couple of UCLA students, Kevin Eustice and Peter Reiher, have written and tested some software that with their antennae set up will grap music playlists stored inside laptops.
The plan is to roll this out to wifi-enabled MP3 players and throw these tunes up front and create the playlist thus, perhaps, making DJ’S so 90’s!
Wi-fi playlists and ‘pod parties’ aren’t new but this [...]
