Floating Bed

First there were water beds and now there are magnetic floating beds. I wonder what kinds of accidents will happen due to this bed. Only time will tell.

The bed can hold up to 900 lbs of weight. The price if quite hefty at 1,200,000 euros. I was unable to find any actual photographs of this bed so this 3D concept art will have to do:

MP3 Player and FM Radio Pen

Buy this nifty little pen the next time you’re in Hong Kong. It features 512 MB of flash memory, MP3 playback capability, FM radio and Voice recorder (It writes too!).  The USB pen measures 148×18mm and weighs 50g. Brando sells you this electronically enhanced writing tool for an affordable $48.

This will probably aid kids in cheating on tests as well. They’ll probably need a very thin wire going up under their sleeve and out from their collar and into their ear.

Pay Per Post: New income stream for bloggers

Pay Per Post is a new type of money making opportunity available for bloggers. As far as I can tell this service has just recently started up. It’s a new form of advertising that pays bloggers to blog about specific  products and services. These bloggers are then paid per post as long as they adhere to the advertisers requirements. The bloggers are told exactly how many words are required, the tone of voice that they should use, and even a photograph that should be attached on to the post. I, personally,
believe that this is a great tool for bloggers who are looking for extra income streams for their blogs. Check it out!

My take on this service is that if you already like a service and they are offering to pay you to blog about it then go for it! I don’t see any harm in it. My suggestion to serious bloggers would be to make sure that they maintain their credibility by only choosing to blog about services that they truly like.

Of course, since I’m telling you guys about this service be aware that I signed up for it and I’m testing it out right NOW. So let’s see how things go. I’m supposed to be getting paid for making this post. Rest assured though that I won’t be using this too much unless I truly truly believe that what ever they want me to talk about is something that I already endorse! I don’t like the idea of being told what to write just to get paid for it. Plus rest assured that I will disclose to readers when ever
I make a paid post.

But try it out. ProBlogger (Darren) has a post about this as well.

Real Life Color Picker Tool

I’ve always wished that we had available to us tools that we use on our computers in real life. We’re one step closer because here is a real life version the the Photoshop Color Picker tool.

Place this Color Sampler on any colored surface and it will tell you the exact color. This is great for people who need exact color readings. It’s even better for color blind people. Now if only someone could invent a Copy and Paste tool or a Healing Brush.

A swatch of silk, an antique throw, a perfect flower petal – now you can capture color inspiration the moment you find it, where ever you find it, with the Benjamin Moore® Pocket Palette® device. This convenient hand-held electronic palette search instrument allows you to match colors to the entire Benjamin Moore® color system accurately and easily with the touch of a button.

Get Free Tech Help

Qunu is a service that started half a month ago. It allows you to find an expert on a subject that you need help with. You can contact that person in real time and get help for free.

Later, if you feel like you, you can enter in some of your expertises and help someone.

How’s it different to other ask-an-expert services? It’s different to the ones you’ve seen because with Qunu you don’t have to wait around for your answer. You can ask the expert directly and get your answer immediately. What’s more, you can ask follow-up questions, again, in real time.

Also, if you’re an expert in something and want to provide help to others, Qunu requests come in through your existing IM client software (finally!), so there’s no need to monitor forums or websites anymore.

How to get some help NOW: Simply enter your query into the search field above. Qunu will return a list of experts who are online and possibly able to help. Please be polite and considerate of their time — you’re getting it for free.

I hope this company has a smart way for funding their operations so that this useful service stays alive.

Slim Camera

This is an advertisement for the slim u700 digital camera by Olympus. The actual dimensions of this camera are 3.5 x 1.2 x 2.5 inches so I guess the model in the image above has very fat fingers

Combimouse Keyboard

I wonder if this would actually be comfortable and easy to use. This would eliminate all the back and forth hand movements from the mouse to the keyboard when ever you need type or move the mouse cursor.

Netflix is going to kick butt

I hope that this rumor turns out to be accurate. Apparently, Netflix is working on a new way of transferring your movies to you. Instead of putting all your movies in a pre-paid envelope and then dropping it in the post box, you’ll have to… do nothing. That’s right. All you’ll do is go to your computer and choose the movies that you want and they will start transferring straight in to a proprietary set-top box. Once the movies have been downloaded, you’ll just go ahead and watch them to your hearts content
and then you can just order new ones.

Currently, the main issue that many online movie vendors are facing is that of piracy. A computer can be used to capture all the data being sent to it and then saved for ever or redistributed by pirates. This causes concerns for movie executives and they don’t allow the latest movies to be available for downloading. This new set-top box mostly eliminates the piracy issue and I’m sure movie execs will be pleased with this, thus, allowing us to download from Netflix’ full movie selection.

Users would add movies they want to watch to their rental queue online as they do now, and those movies would then be downloaded to the boxes overnight rather than shipped through the mail.
