Ilshat Garipov, a Russian designer, comes up with an idea for a smart phone, and it is both elegant and functional. When I first saw the phone, I almost pissed my pants. Currently, I’m using a Nokia X2-01 because I fucked up my iPhone, and I got it for free with a 2 year contract with Sun Cellular. Ever since, I’ve been window shopping for an Android phone. From the Galaxy S-II to the Quad core LG Optimus, my mouth has watered for...

I’m an avid fan of opensource framework. I’ve developed a lot of sites using only opensource framework. My favorite to this day is WordPress. It’s easy to set up, and it has a lot of support from the community. Hell, this site is run on WP. Now, it has come to a point that even BitTorrent has found its mark on word press. I was just browsing around and found out about WP-Trader, a plug-in that turns your WordPress installation...

Minority Report is starting to become reality. People will soon be reading newspapers that broadcast breaking news just like in the train scene. LG is pushing for the mass production of their recently announced flexible E-paper. The company expects to begin mass producing 9.7-inch color and 19-inch flexible e-paper, according to an SEC filing. I can’t wait till this hits the shelves. Thanks [PC...

Here in the Philippines, the weather is generally hot and humid. Thus, most upper and middle class households take advantage of air conditioning. The only problem here is, A/C units cost an arm and a leg because of the wages we make. Here’s a DIY airconditioning unit which doesn’t only provide better ventilation, but also gets rid of the smell of cigarettes. All you’ll need are two buckets, a pump, and a fan. Source:...

Killer looks? Check. Hybrid Engine? Check. 500 horsepower? Check. 33.3 kilometers to a liter? Check. Zero to 100 in 3.2 Seconds? Check. Affordable? Awww shit! Powered by a 3.4 Liter Hybrid Engine with a Mid-engine layout, and priced at $630,000, the Porsche 918 Concept is not your everyday drive…yet. It’s currently a concept which will become a production vehicle in 2012. It’s sooner than you think. Beautiful as hell, and more...

It’s all about the storage these days. While Seagate releases a 3TB external drive, Netgear ships out their highly acclaimed ReadyNAS Ultra. You can put up to 12TB worth of hard disk space in it, and that’s not what makes it special. Netgear has partnered up with Orb so you can stream movies and music directly from it. Also, they’ve partnered up with TiVo so it can also be used as a DVR extender. The Netgear ReadyNAS Ultra is...

Andrew Chirkova, some designer, creates a magnificent design for a Rolls Royce Race car. It’s absolutely dreamy and I want one so bad. The only problem is like most of my design posts, they’re only available on the drawing board. There are no technical specifications available except that it’s going to have a mid-engine layout. The only thing available are absolutely mouth watering pictures. Check them...

For those people who shelled out their hard earned cash for 3D HDTVs, here’s some good news. You can now shell out more of your hard earned cash to subscribe to DIRECTV 3D HD channels. The channels are free for existing DIRECTV subscribers, but it’s another $10.00 a month for a new subscription. Personally, I just can’t get off on the idea that I have to wear glasses to watch TV. It’s just ridiculous to me. Until they can...

Ever since I got my DSL connection, I’ve been all over the net looking for ways to entertain myself. Back in 2004, I downloaded a lot of porn, then I discovered BitTorrent which I still use to this day. And a while back, since I got a White Macbook, I’ve been subscribing to free podcasts everywhere. Be it tech, comedy, politics, or just plain nonsense, I’ve been subscribing to a lot of Revision3, TWiT, and other podcasting...

HP Data Centers are to be powered by Bullshit. Yes. That’s right. In a move to becoming a green company, HP Labs has announced designs for their Data Centers to be powered by cow dung.  It’s everywhere. It’s a sustainable energy source. It’s good for the planet. So why not. They said so in a press release. In this process, the heat generated by the data center can be used to increase the efficiency of the anaerobic...

I was just browsing around, and I found this report. They did not say when the site would be down, but however, when I checked today, I got an error. Now, it seems that ThePirateBay.org is down. I don’t know if this is going to be permanent or not. I sure hope not. If anyone can get information on how to support the piratebay, please say so on the comments. Oh, and a while back, I made a post about what downornot.com can be used for. I...

I’ve been walking around SM Mall of Asia today and saw something nifty that may be of some good use. They call it the Extreme Power Saver. This is how it basically works. Just plug it in to any AC Outlet in your house and when your monthly electric bill is due, you save 30% off. There seems to be much debate about power saving devices. A lot of discussions are going on here. Now down to the basic question, is it a scam or not? I have no...

Here’s a weird site I found while browsing around. It’s called downornot.com. It’s a site you can use to check if other sites are down or not. You can use it to check if your favorite site is down without having to visit it. For example, if you want to check if Facebook is down or not, all you’ll need to do is type in ‘facebook.com’ in the blank, and it tells you the status. I think it’s funny that a...

Today, as I was browsing around my Google Reader Page, I’ve found 3 Gadgets that were posted that don’t make any sense to me. Here they are: First up is a bag made out of a recycled keyboard. It’s just ridiculous for any sane woman to bring this thing around anywhere. If I saw someone sporting this abomination, I’d move away and keep a safe distance from her. She clearly has some psychological issues. Next up is the...

To most people, electric cars are the future. They save you money. They don’t pollute the environment. They aren’t noisy. They look cool. However, there are things in the technology that electric cars use that CAN go wrong. I’m not saying that they WILL inevitably go wrong. These are just the things that they see might go wrong. Here’s the list: Cruise Control Anti-lock Brakes Engine Control Module Door locks Power...
