most of us here are unlikely to be reminiscing about the glory days of the motorcycles of from 1920s and 1930s but that doesn’t stop us from appreciating a good remake of them such as this Janus Halcyon 50 Motorcycle, a bike that pays homage to record-breakers of that era (you know. Brough Superior, Triumph and the likes). the Halcyon 50 features sprung leather saddle…
pulling your hairs over the ever frustrating traffic condition? well, that might be a thing of the past if the Hirobo HX-1 Personal Electric Helicopter becomes a reality, commercially. Hirobo, a company best known for its radio controlled helicopters, is not the usual firm that you expect to develop a full-scale man-piloted machine but here it is, the HX-1 that looks more a vehicle…
if you haven’t join the all-things-Bluetooth or the ‘iHealth’ fray, then the Wahoo Balance Smartphone Scale could be a good place to start with. like all good, dutiful wireless-enabled bathroom scale, the Balance Smartphone Scale tracks your weight and BMI over time and sends weighting result to your iPhone or iPad instantly (via an App, naturally). instead of being WiFi-connected…
funny that we never actually noticed but we have a quite a bunch of tiny objects that we stashed in our bags that seem almost bottomless when we tried to dig for them. of course, there are better solutions than dumping everything into one huge bag such as having individual pouches or containers to hold them. however, if you want to keep your wee items away from the elements…
there are a growing number of gadgets that are USB-powered, so why not a lamp? well, the Piccolo LED Task Light is just the answer to that question. it is a task light that uses USB bus power to power its linear array LED and can be powered either by your computer’s USB port or if you prefer, use any of your spare USB wall charger to give a little more lumens. according to its…

Casio has incorporated today’s favorite wireless technology into the GB6900AA, allowing it to work with your iPhone 4S/5…

if you are reading this, then you are probably a huge Lomography lover but you can’t really call yourself one staunch fan till you snag the LOMO LIFE VOLUME 1 & 2. marking its 20th years in the lo-fi analog camera business, the Austria firm collaborates with renowned UK publishing house, Thames and Hudson to bring to Lomography fans two volumes of literature that…
if we look past the new iPhone 5’s easily scratched nature (btw, that’s not a feature) and an odd-by-the-norm elongated candy bar form factor, it is actually a pretty amazing smartphone. the thinness is what impresses us most and we think it would be a shame to bulk it up with thick casing. its slender line is mean to be showoff and hence we think the Skinny Fit iPhone 5 Case…
according to some health fanatics, walking barefooted on grass is actually good for your health. while we love to give barefooted walking a go, we are not exactly fond of the pebbles and stones that are poised to ambush our delicate feet (not to mention those nasty dog poops serve up by your neighbors’ best friend). so, the KUSA Synthetic Grass Flip Flops present an attractive…
some says that Sean Connery’s portrayal of the silver screen MI6 agent is the most memorable one and if you believe so and also happens to be a no-nonsense Bond fan, then you probably want to check out this 1963 James Bond’s Walther Gun that’s put under the hammer by Sotheby’s. this is the exact piece that were used by Sean Connery for the publicity shots for four James…
