January 31, 2009

A new game called "Hero of the Hudson" challenges you to try your hand at a Hudson River landing. Can you do what US Airways pilot Chesley "Sully" Sullenberger did (minus, of course, the pressure of lives at risk and realities of actual flight)?

January 31, 2009

Music, thanks to lots of modern-day portable MP3 players, can stay with us wherever we go and as far as we go from our home PCs. However there are still places unreachable for digital music and they are closer than you might have imagined. The territory of our baths, where all the electronic gadgets and gizmos are banned, is at the same duration precisely the place where we want them to be. lengthy and boring minutes while staying in the bath are best for watching TV or listing to the music. But waterproof TV will cost a fortune, so here is a way out as Antonio Lupi sees it. that is a mirror, equipped with an iPod. Finally, we can use it safely in the bath!

Colorsonic MP3 Player

Colorsonic MP3 Player

Here's a different way to assemble you look at MP3 players in the future - the Colorsonic MP3 player will display its playlist using a choice of colors, where individual colors would represent a specific music genre. Assuming you want to play songs from more than one genre, all you need to do is choose a couple of colors from the wheel and you're good to go. The Colorsonic is currently in its project phase at the moment, featuring special software as well as a colorful website that allows public to log on and trade color rings. Designer Rhea Jeong came up with the Colorsonic concept during an internship with Samsung, and we're keeping our fingers crossed that the Korean electronics giant will react positively to that view by churning it out from manufacturing lines.

Phone Booth Is Now An Aquarium

Phone Booth Is Now An Aquarium

Artists Benoit Deseille and Benedetto Bufalino decided to do something special for the Lyon Light Festival in France by turning an unused old school phone booth into an aquarium. that is pretty interesting as it lends a surreal look to the surrounding environment, and most phone booths these days are redundant due to the proliferation of cell phones in our society. What are some of the other abandoned/neglected public property that can be turned into quirky pieces of art? The only problem with these booths are you'll need to retrain the city council workers to include fish-feeding times into their daily city chores. Come to think of it, to have that beside a bus stand or train platform would be ideal as there is something therapeutic in seeing fish swim about.

Samsung Opens Door To 32GB RAM Stick

Samsung Opens Door To 32GB RAM Sticksamsung-32gb-ramstick.jpg" border="0" />

Don't you just love progress? We're extremely thrilled to compose out that Samsung has managed to find a way to cram in 32GB of DDR3 RAM into a individual stick - a far cry from what we have today. Obviously when such a piece of semiconductor wafer hits market shelves, it won't come cheap, but it will definitely go a towering way in freeing up more space in a computing device to assemble it smaller overall or hold other semiconductor parts. The 32GB possibility is the aftermath of sandwiching two 16GB modules into a individual dual-die unit, allowing one to double a singled-out stick's capacity without causing a massive change in size. No view what the average home user will do about the remaining 28GB of memory (or so) though whether they have that in their computer.
