Today, when crime is creeping at every nook and cranny, you can still breathe easy as news of the New York Police Department (NYPD) oozes to us plebeians, informing of building a web of surveillance by NYPD throughout lower Manhattan. The project seems to be and in fact is exceptionally go-getting and highly motivated, with firm word that the final endeavor will see over 3,000 public and private security cameras working in tandem to keep track of terrorists as well as criminal suspects. Together with this strong level of surveillance and security, around 116 license plate readers will be positioned accordingly, all set to monitor cars crossing the area that consists of the city’s financial district – assuming it a prime target for terrorists.

The idea of creating this gadget was plotted by William Heath in honor of his friend Lily, who passed away in a deadly collision with a drunk driver. After getting shocked and hurt with this terrible accident, William thought of making this bike. The Lilybug is not only a service but as much as it’s a bike too. Assume you are drunk heavily and having fun in your pool party, but oops! You are not able to drive home. No worries at all! Just give a call to Lilybug and it will send a fearless and brave designated driver to your location to drive you and your car home safely. The bike can be folded up and fitted in almost every type of car or trunk so they have a way to get back to their office or set off to the next needy to reach home safely. The cost of this service is dependent on mileage, but on an average it comes out to be $40 an hour. Lilybug service contributes a fixed percentage of their earnings to Lilybug Foundation, which monetarily aids families that are hurt by drunk drivers and MAD.

Well, here goes the good news for you. Very recently, Canon, the electronic giant, has launched its new set of printers that promise a superior resolution and incredible performance as the big boss continues to focus on the better photo printing options for its users.

In general, a camcorder can’t get your attention or excite you to get that unless you are told of its capability of shooting 1080p and an amazing amount of built in storage, however, everybody would be reluctant to buy overpriced, proprietary memory cards. But, you can’t just ignore Sanyo’s brilliantly named VPC-CA65 even if it doesn’t do 1080p or have 64 gigs of storage, then what’s going to make you get this gizmo? Well for me, it’s slim and waterproof design did the wonders.

Anyways, being waterproof seems to be not that exciting really. I can’t deny that it looks like a regular old tiny camcorder only and you will not find any special waterproof casings or knobs on this gadget. In fact, you may have to face many weird gazes when you will be submerging your poor camcorder into the water. No issues, eh!

Keeping hold of all your passwords in your mind can really be a pretty cumbersome process, isn’t it? Gone are the days where you were required to remember your Social Security number, a couple of phone numbers, and perhaps a birthday or two as well. Adding more to the test of your memory, these days you have hundreds of email addresses to attend to, number of logins for same number of websites as well as PIN codes and security passwords in buildings, phewwwww***. But my big thanks to the dynahand system that has been designed to make logging into websites a wee bit easier.

Making their grand appearance at CES 2007 this year, the I MU Vibro speaker definitely makes a unique class of their own. No matter what your taste and choice is, this pair will definitely suit you because of their wonder design. As the product page says, the I-MU Vibro is “guaranteed to cause consternation amongst office hi-fi bores, this pioneering gizmo is set to become the speaker of choice for fans of forehead-slappingly clever whatsits the world over. It’ll get walls jumping, desks pumping and windows thumping. Cumbersome cabinets? Who needs ’em!”. Interesting, eh!

“But how does the I-MU Vibro actually work, we hear you ask? Well, boffins over at the Firebox Sonic Research Institute spent seconds examining this super-energy crystal speaker but were too busy catching falling jaws to work it out. And that’s because this sound innovation pumps out amazingly impressive sonics that need to be heard to be disbelieved. Here comes the science bit…The main component is a tiny piece of a material called Terfenol-D, which was originally used by the US Navy for sonar work. The Terfenol is placed within an aluminum case and a coil wrapped round it. When electricity is passed through the coil the Terfenol expands slightly creating a massive force of 400 pounds - when it’s attached to a flat surface it transmits electronic signals into mechanical energy causing the flat surface to vibrate and broadcasts the sound.

Remember, the Eubiq power strip, a great home product that was introduced two years back. Well, it still enjoys being a valuable option for those who want to utilize their power options at home. Just recall, how many times you had to shift something on the kitchen counter top so as to arrange an out of reach electrical outlet? You wanted to accommodate the blender here, but, sadly, no outlet? And finally, you are stuck placing it where you are not willing to.

Not anymore. Eubiq boasts of a truly cool track (think track lighting) that will allow you to move the plug anywhere you need to, along the maximum 3.6 meter (11.81 feet) track. Or in better words, you are free to plug in your electrical devices anywhere you want to. Al you need to do is, to twist the plug a bit, pull it out of the track, and then repeat the process to place it right further up or down the track to lock it back into the electrical stream. Adding more to your interest and use, you can adjust more than two appliances, which is one of the most irritating issues with today’s antiquated outlets.

Californian Architect Gregg Fleishman has developed a miracle house called DH1 Disaster House. Yes, it is a miracle in itself because; it can be put in an afternoon and without much effort. Do you have an idea how a 3D puzzle is put together? This house is built similarly with the help of tabs. The construction could be never simpler!

Well, a need leads to a discovery! So, this housing technology was initially designed for the poor hurricane sufferers. They had lost their homes and were in dire need of some accommodation. DH1 firstly helped these victims and gave them shelter. They were happy to have a house so simple and easy to build.

This housing occupies 14 feet square shed built 30 inches above ground. The pack of housing material contains a stack of European Birch Plywood. One needs to just put these pieces together passing through the slots. Hey guys, be sure to have a place for yourself within an hour. Yeah, even a porch is included.

If you desire for a three-room model, the housing pack is arranged into 276 panels that are cut beforehand. These are of 28 different types. This leads to a 370 square feet space in the three rooms, two 9 inches cubes and a 15 inches wide beveled module.
