New Gift To Your GF - Bear Phone

Three Must-Be-Bears


Moshi moshi... Kuma San?


Apple launched their iPhone 2 weeks ago, and gained phenomenal success.

What's the Japanese answer against iPhone success? They launched teddy bear style mobile phone.

There goes Willcom, a mobile provider in Japan, demonstrated their new innovation (should I call it as an innovation?) at 2008 Good Design Expo Tokyo. They named this new product as Kuma Phone. What's Kuma stance for? Bear, of course. For only about 500bucks, you'll get a cute teddy bear stuffed with functional mobile phone. What could be better than this one?

It's stuffed with functional phone... So can we really use it?
Yes, sure. For instance, just squeeze one of its four paws for one of your speed dial numbers. Press its tail to answer or hang up the call. Really simple isn't it? It's so user-friendly, and warm up your ears too.

You have 6months before Valentine, please save 500bucks to have this ridiculous bear as your Valentine gift to your GF. You can give it to Mr.Bean instead, or give it to your dog as its pillow.

Another Modern Life Disaster, Partner Could Spying Us By Electric Gadgets


Remember those days when we were kids in 80's, parents says Soviet's intelligence agencies watching us from distance far away by satellite? The cold war era has ended two decades ago, but there's still someone watching us from distance, right now : our partner. So, how did he/she watching us? By satellite? It's not like in the past, our partner able to watching us by daily electronic products, such as mobile phone, PC, credit card, even by Nintendo Wii.

Yes, DailyMail reported that a US soldier returning from his duty in Iraq uncovered evidence his wife had been cheating while he was fighting on battlefield. But how? He simply plugged in his Nintendo Wii and see its Mii, gizmo to save personal profile record in console. He discovered that his wife had spend long time playing virtual bowling with another Mii. Later he discovered that this unknown Mii is actually her secret lover. Now this poor soldier has filed divorce, took Mii as evidence, and blame Wii as catalyst for his wife to cheat on him.

This story is only a small example that there's a danger awaits in our daily gadget : it allows someone to tracking us. Today, it's almost impossible to do anything in secret. Every communication we made on mobile phone, short message we sent, electronic transaction we made, even internet web site we had logged in, it's all like spreading our DNA on every spot we had visited, allowed someone to track what have we done there in past.

Technology industry seeing this phenomena as their new market. Now we can have gadget to recover deleted messages in mobile phone SIM card, tiny spy camera to keep looking at your partner, mini GPS tracker in car, or have a internet hacker to track our partner's Facebook account record (or you can do it by yourself).

Digital communication era allow us to flirt to our new potential sex partner by mobile phone, playing game online with mysterious stranger, or just spread our sexy photo/profile on internet for fun. But we must remember, someone else could trace our activity, so be wise with your gadget.

The best thing that we can do is, keep your self with your lifetime partner. Otherwise if willing to take risk, just try go back to traditional way. You can post your mail by traditional way, have a mailpost bird (hope that your partner won't track your bird by Google Map).

Giro Sponge, A New Design For Kid's Toothbrush (Maybe For You Too)




I've got small problem.
My small nephew hate toothbrushing, especially when it's already his bed time and he is sleepy. My sister always had to argue with her little son every night, and I'm getting sick for watching it. So I surfed the net, and found this interesting toothbrush.

It's started by a industrial designer from Brazil called Fabio Dabori. He was challenged to create a new kid's toothbrush design, and here is his result. The concept named as Giro Sponge, is electric battery powered toothbrush, and he replace the brush with specially designed and engineered bristles. The bristles is designed with kid's favorite picture, so it toothbrushing won't be a traumatic for children anymore.

Giro Sponge is designed for both kids and adult, and suitable for those who's got sensitive teeth. He also suggests that Giro Sponge could be used for pets. This is not yet final, since he is currently researching for his toothbrush's market.

Interested to produce similar toothbrush like he did? Sorry, Fabio Dabori already has patents for his creation, so don’t get any ideas.

I guess nobody of you interested to have this cutie minie toothbrush didn't you? Maybe we have to ask Dabori to put Pamela Anderson's boobie to his toothbrush's brustle.

Nokia 6205 The Dark Knight Edition : Is It Worth Enough?



It's black. It has buttons attached on body. And it has wings.
What's that? Is it UFO radio controller? No, it's Nokia 6205 The Dark Knight Series.
So, what's cool about it?

Hey, it's special series. This special edition has a Batman logo printed on its back, and packaged in a special box (yes for your guess... the box also has Batman logo attached). Beside of standard Nokia 6205 feature (1,3 megapixel camera, 58MB internal memory, microSD slot, VZ navigator, etc), its also delivered with wallpaper, voice tones, movie trailer and screen saver from The Dark Knight.

So, how much it cost for this flip phone? According to Verizon, it will cost you $69,99... Hmm not bad for the wing logo and feature inside. But if you hate Batman, just wait to Auguts, because Nokia will launch the standard edition of 6205 with two color option : striking metallic blue and silver.

Nokia 6205 The Dark Knight series has been launched on June 15, almost 1 month before the movie premiere (July 16). Now we are almost entering August and The Dark Knight still on fire, but nobody knows how far the movie will go through. So, what should I do if the heat off? It's easy, just replace The Dark Knight battery cover with the standard battery cover (included in The Dark Knight Series) and... yeah, it will changed to "original" 6205!
