Le Trung is still busy with Alko, his robot girlfriend

fembot-1.jpg
If you were an extremely talented nerd, would you invest your time and resources in building a female robot? Probably, as that is the only chance nerds have with the fairer sex! Le Trung is one such person who has created a 'fem-bot' named Alko. Alko is said to have a stunning 32, 23, 33 figure, beautiful hair and dainty features. She is reported to be in her 20's while Trung is 33. She is able to speak 13,000 different sentences in English and Japanese. She is also a math whiz and does all of Le Trung's accounts. But here's the kicker, although he did not intend for her to be a sexual partner, there is a way to make her so. He says, "Her software could be redesigned to simulate her having an orgasm and reacting to touch as if she is playing hard to get or being straight to the point."

hello-kitty_courreges.jpg
It's makes my day when I stumble across a Hello Kitty product. Today I was in luck and happened to get a look at the 'HELLO KITTY coureges' compact digital camera that is launched by Exemode in Japan (the Japanese are so lucky!). I'll get to the looks of it first. It looks extremely adorable in red and white with our pretty feline friend on it. The features it comes with are a 1/2-inch 5M CMOS sensor, 30fps video recording, 1GB of SDHC memory card and 32MB built-in memory. There is a 2.4 inch TFT LCD screen and the camera supports up to 2,592×1,944 resolution. It is available for $142. I know what I want Santa to put under my Christmas tree this year.

Kim the Talking Clock is a great way to wake you up

KimTalkingClock1.jpg
The obvious reason that I took a straight liking to this watch is because it shares my name! Kim the Talking Clock is a rather fun time telling device that everyone is bound to fall in love with. It is designed by David Gear and I wonder where he got the inspiration for such a great name! To get Kim to tell you the time, push her pretty robotic nose and you'll hear a voice that is partly human and partly robot. She doesn't look as good as me, but she is rather pretty in a robot type of way. She has a bell and rooster alarm. You need 3 AAA batteries to keep her running. Kim the Talking Clock is available for $58.50.

E-waves Phone chip by Omega Pharma to eliminate cell phone radiation levels

e-waves_phone_chip_1.jpg
Almost everyone is aware of the health hazards caused by cell phone radiations. So it is no wonder that many people are trying to cut down on their cell phone usage. But the best solution would be to create a phone with least amount of radiation levels. And that is exactly what Omega Pharma has done by introducing the E-waves Phone chip that is designed to eliminate radiation levels during cell phone usage. Since 2003, Dr. Peter Aelbrecht and Pol Van Welden have tried to create a gadget to help eliminate these radiation levels. They finally tasted success with this chip that “beams a quantum physical information wave that is in counter-phase with the harmful components of the electromagnetic waves- thus neutralizing potentially harmful waves.” Since most of the instructions are in Belgian it is quite difficult to decipher the exact functioning of this chip. But what is known is that this chip has to be placed in a specific area to neutralize the radiation while using the cell phone.

Electrolux's AirMAX Öko vacuum cleaner sucks up dirt with a green flair

airmax_oko_green_vacuum_cleaner.jpg
In an effort to keep my den clean, I didn't realize that I am contributing to the already polluted environment. It is time to chuck the power consuming dirt-sucking mammoth with Electrolux's green vacuum cleaner. Dubbed, the AirMAX Öko, it is supposed to be the world's first green vacuum cleaner. This ultra silent cleaner packs a 1.25 kW motor that helps to consume 33% less energy than ordinary 2 kW vacuum cleaners. More green points come from the fact that about 55% of its parts are made from recycled materials. This means that it has already reduced the burden on the landfills before setting off to clean your home. For $275, it certainly is easy on pockets too.

iFrogz Hype Earbuds can be customized to be how you want

iFrogz_hype_earbuds_1.jpg
We've seen numerous earbuds and here is another pair. But what sets these iFrogz Hype earbuds apart is that they can be completely customized. The base or the rim of the earbud can be in either black or white or grey. That might sound a bit lacklustre, but here's the real kicker. You can customize the back of the earbud with artwork. They offer a wide range of designs to suit your style and taste. I was hoping that they'd let me put my own artwork on the earbuds, but that's asking for too much. The iFrogz Hype Earbuds are available for $19.99 and I think that's definitely a steal for that price.
