Sylvania ECOlight Powered by Shower Water


Have you ever tried to take a shower in the dark, like during a power outage? Not a lot of fun, isn’t it? Imagine if you had a light in the shower that is not powered by batteries, but hydroelectric power.

That’s right, the ECOlight is powered by the running of water in your shower. It’s like having a dam on your showerhead! I didn’t take that from the Sylvania Press Release, I swear.

Not only does the shower light give you a bright LED, but it also has an illuminated ring that will change color depending on the temperature of the water. I’m not certain how it works, but the light will be blue if the water is less than 78 degrees Fahrenheit, and red when it is warmer than 105.8 degrees Fahrenheit.

I am hoping that the ECOlight from Sylvania is the beginning of technology that runs on running water. Imagine a waterproof radio that plays in the shower, and powered by the water coming out of the showerhead.

Why stop there? How about cell phone chargers connected to the faucets in the house. So if you are washing the dishes, your phone is getting the juice. That idea is free to market, by the way, just send me a thank-you note and a percentage of the profits.

Lego Camcorder coming …


Earlier today, we told you that Lego was getting into the cell phone business. Well it seems that today is Lego day and that Lego is also looking to set their sights on entering the Camcorder market as well. Having joined with kids gadget maker Digital Blue, Lego is designing a digital camcorder with a small flip out 1 ½ inch LCD screen, record/function buttons perched on top, detachable remote control, and five way navigation control for operating the camera.

USB Cordless Warm Slippers


One of the main reservations that I have with USB warmer products is the fact that they have to remain tethered to the computer, and many a times we get up from the desk without thinking about removing the connection, hence taking down that peripheral and perhaps even breaking the USB connector in the process due to the force generated. Not so with this pair of USB Cordless Warm Slippers from Thanko, as the $42 price you pay for them are well worth it - it hooks up via USB to warm up, and once they’re fully charged, just disconnect them and walk around the home/office without getting your little piggies all frozen and shivering. The internal lithium battery is good for a fair amount of time before they require a trip back to the USB port. It comes with a light indicator to let you know when is the next trip due for a power refill, and there is an option to change the temperature between low and high levels. Inside the slippers, you will find an ultra thin aluminum heater being used. If you’re nowhere near a USB port, you can always hook it up via a power outlet.

Find Tariffs Mysterious iPhone invitation creates excitement


An enigmatic invitation to an Apple press conference has been circulated among technology experts this week, fuelling rumours that the firm is set to reveal details of the iPhone's UK launch.

Taking place at the Apple store on London's Regent Street next Tuesday, the event has been announced to the industry with the cryptic message "mum is no longer the world", resulting in feverish speculation on technology websites about the purpose of the conference.

When asked for details on the event by vnunet.com, an Apple spokesperson said: "We do not have any further information. But it will be good."

It is thought that the US company may unveil which network provider will be given the exclusive contract to carry the iPhone in the UK, with O2 currently the strong favourite to secure the deal.

However, according to Pocket-lint.co.uk there is now an iPhone 'unlocking' facility available for free online, meaning that consumers can potentially use the device on any network. The exclusive rights to the handset may have become less desirable for operators as a result.

Phonevite offers phone-invitation service

phonevite2.jpg

Phonevite, a Los Angeles company that lets you record and then blast voice invites to your friends’ phones, has just launched a test version of its site.

It’s the latest twist on Internet telephony, and comes from two employees who worked at Dialpad, an early Internet company that was recently bought by Yahoo. They’re trying their luck, now that their other former Dialpad colleagues achieved success with GrandCentral, recently acquired by Google.

One-to-many voice invite services exist, but they are expensive and generally only available to large companies. Email works for invites, but can be unruly to manage. Some email filters treat these invites as spam, and the invites get buried.

Phonevite, which is free, is a light-weight alternative. It’s straightforward, as this eight-minute screencast shows. You record an invite over a regular phone, and Phonevite hand-holds you through the process: You can schedule a time for the invite to be blasted, request an RSVP from recipients (yes, maybe or no), and select an option for them to be able to message you back. It then gives you an online dashboard to show responses, and lets you play back any voice answers.

Engineer Kalvin Kim and product manager John Nahm say the service is good for group activities, such BBQs, and church, sports and school events.

How will they make money from this? They say an Internet call now costs about half a cent on average, so costs will be relatively low. Down the road, they hope to sell sponsored ads, say Nike gear in invites that are sports related, or Coke ads for general events. They may charge 1 to 3 cents a call if a user would rather not have ads.

Barack Hussein Obama, Remain Alert to His Background



Probable U. S. Presidential Candidate Barack Hussein Obama was born in Honolulu, Hawaii to Barack Hussein Obama Sr., a Black Muslim from Nyangoma-Kogel, Kenya and Ann Dunham, a White Athiest from Wichita, Kansas. Obama's Parents met at the University of Hawaii. WhenObama was two years old, his parents divorced. His father returned to Kenya. His Mother then marriedLoto Soetoro, a radical Muslim from Indenosia. When Obama was six years old, the family relocated to Indenosia. Obama attended a Muslimschool in Jakarta. He also spent two years in a Catholic School. Obama takes great care to conceal the Fact that He is a MUSLIM. He is quick to point out that He was once a Muslim, But that He also attended Catholic School. Obama's Political Handlers are attempting to make itappear that Obama's introduction to Islam came via his father, and that this influence was temporary at best. In reality, the senior Obama returned to Kenya soon after the divorce, and never again had any direct influence over his son's education. Lolo Soetoro, the second husband of Obama's mother, Ann Dunham, introduced his stepson to Islam. Osama was enrolledin a wahabi school in Jakarta. Wahabism is the radical teachng that is followed by the muslim terroristswho are now waging Jihad against the western world. Since it ispolitically expedient to be a christian when seeking major public office in the United States, Barak Hussein Obama has joined the United Church of Christ in an attempt to downplay his muslim background. Let us all remain alert concerning Obama's expected presidential candidacy.
