Cut your cake disgracefully with the Table Saw
Do you have an evil side to yourself that you can’t let out to your kith and kin? Never mind, you could let it all come out at the table with the Table Saw. The Table Saw is big and toothy like the wood saw in your backyard, but the only difference is that it cuts edible stuff. It is while in color and is capable of dicing your lettuce without discoloring it. It can also cut your delicious cut in big chunks unlike the small impotent knives.

TakaraTomy's new Mubingufoto camera clicks in pink and hearts
Mubingufoto is a funny name for a camera, but in all seriousness TakaraTomy's latest digital camera is called just that. It is being marketed towards high school girls. That's pretty obvious with the hot pink and heart it comes in. This teenybopper camera features a resolution of 200k pixels, 1GB onboard memory, SD card slot and a LCD for viewing the pics. A nice bonus is that it is preloaded with a variety of special effects for adding to the photo. You can buy this pretty little camera for $11O from next week in Japan. Imagine all the pictures that will be uploaded through this on facebook and MySpace.

Brad Pitt graces the cover of WIRED’s August issue
Brad Pitt, though a little frowned, looks hot in headsets and even better on the cover of WIRED, the American magazine on technology-culture influences. You’d probably shoot “Why” or “How” as I did when I caught the gorgeous star gracing the cover. The reason is rather controversial. Apparently, the 45 year old star gave some real bad advices on 21st century technology behaviour, as he spoke about, Twitter, online dating, conduct at work, etiquette and those sometimes awkward cyber dilemmas, in an interview.
UFO juicer for the spatial aspirant
You don’t have to be an astronomy and astrophysics student to appreciate extraterrestrial species. With their reported recent ‘invasions’ on our planet, we can look forward to being good pals (or foes) with them. Let’s hold that thought, while I introduce you to the UFO juicer that has an intergalactic guy consigned at the centre. He looks pretty grim, but I bet he does his job with utmost precision, that of squeezing the last drop out of your citrus. He charges about $15 for that.
Glowing router clock displays the strength of your broadband signal
With the swarming of clocks with ipods or other such gizmo, I’d appreciate anything that breaks the stereotypes. Then I happened to spot the Route O’ Clock that appeared a tad different from the usual. It’s a cool, colorful clock that has strips of several colors. The colorful strips, besides delivering good looks to the clock, also deliver functionality as it’s fitted with a router that monitors your broadband signal and indicates its strength with different colors at each interval. Currently, it’s still in its conceptual stage, we’d still need time to appreciate or comment on this idea.
LG's BL40 Black Label phone spotted with a sibling
The mystery behind LG’s much awaited Black Label handset, the BL40, keep growing day after day. As per the past information that we have had, the BL40 sports a 5 megapixel camera, 800 X 345 screen and the latest info claims that it also has Wi-Fi, FM transmitter and 335 MB onboard memory which can be expanded with a microSD card. The latest images of the BL40 are rather interesting thought. These images show the BL40 next to a very identical handset but just smaller than the BL40. It looks very much like a younger sibling of the BL40. It could also be another phone of the Black Label series which LG is all set to roll out. Until any official word is out, all of us can sit back and continue speculating LG’s next move.

Everyone is in the Transformers mood, but some chicks might not like the robot action so much. So here's something that could be more up your alley. These crazy make up can transform into absolute mean beauty beasts. They are multipurpose and have flip tops, dual-sliding pieces, and hidden pop-up functions.
