When you mention the word “robot”, what comes into your mind? Most of us would have thought of characters from Transformers, or even Go-Bots (if you know what I am talking about, then you’re about in the same age bracket as me), and perhaps even the Terminator. Those who think that Chucky is scary enough might want to check out this particular robot that mimics a human baby, positively sending chills down my spine when I look at the YouTube video of it in “action”.

Created by the UK’s Chris Clarke, this robotic baby will writhe around, struggling in its crib in such a convincing manner that we have taken yet another step closer to the uncanny valley. This is one baby that I hope it will never grow up, and someone might just make a new genre in movies – techno-horror, where robots like these go on a murdering spree, only to have good ol’ Chucky intervene and save the day for us humans. I won’t diss those dolls anymore, I promise, as there is an even greater nemesis out there now.

Pogo Sketch Plus from Ten One Design

Posted: 26 Jan 2012 06:00 AM PST

Ten One Design indulged in a makeover job for its Pogo Sketch, and the final result is the aptly named Pogo Sketch Plus. At least there is no number behind the name to denote a sequel, where a Plus sounds so much more elegant. The Pogo Sketch Plus will feature patent pending Pro Tip technology that delivers greater sensitivity and precision when typing, navigating and drawing on touch screens. As for those out there who are already Pogo Sketch owners, fret not – you can upgrade to Pogo Sketch Plus at a 50% discount as long as you email a personal photo of your existing Pogo Sketch to info@tenonedesign.com.

With so many of us owning devices that have a touchscreen display these days, owning a stylus of repute might be the next big thing. This sleek capacitive touchscreen stylus’ new patent pending Pro Tip technology comprises of patterned structures within the tip itself, hence resulting in greater sensitivity while providing an even smaller tip diameter for superior precision. Not only that, Ten One Design has improved on the portability aspect by throwing in a useful pocket clip to secure in place for on-the-go travel. You can pick up the Pogo Sketch Plus in Burnt Orange, Cactus, Hot Pink and Silver for $14.95 a pop.

The Cheaters Spy Shop – Here’s Looking at You Kid!

Posted: 26 Jan 2012 05:51 AM PST

As you might imagine the Cheaters Spy Shop is looking to appeal to our most insecure selves, it counts on our deep distrust of our significant others, well not mine exactly… I mean my husband is a great guy, right? Of course, you’d tell me if there was something going on wouldn’t you? Wait a minute! What do you know?

Anyhow, for those of us who can’t be sure, Cheaters Spy Shop comes to the rescue with a wide array of surveillance gear including the dreaded (depending on what side of the application you’re on) iPhone recovery stick that has the ability to pull up anything that has been accessed on an iPhone (including all deleted information) along with covert software that can send you your beloveds texts and pictures in real time *gulp* Sometimes, even if you’re innocent, some stuff just looks bad, am I right?

The Cheaters Spy Store also features nifty motion-activated cameras that record in high-resolution so you can catch every bit of the “action.” The shop carries pens that double as audio recorders and plenty of other spy related equipment, from cameras hidden in MP3 players or digital picture frames all the way down to a mantel clock that doubles as a safe to hide your gun (you never know when the news may not be good)

The store developed by the TV series creator Bobby Goldstein has only been open for a short time, but its already doing a booming business. I’m thinking of grabbing one of those iPhone sticks, purely for research purposes…Hey! it’s my story, I’ll tell it like I want to.

For more information, or to purchase spy items, please visit www.cheatersspyshop.com Hey, did I mention the address is on Lovers Lane? Seriously?

Antec Three Hundred Two gaming chassis

Posted: 26 Jan 2012 05:30 AM PST

Gamers are known for their meticulous attention to detail when it comes to their rig – they more or less know where each screw lies, and what components they need in order to eke out that extra bit of performance. Well, for gamers who prefer to take the DIY route and build a gaming machine that is good enough to pummel your friends’ benchmark scores into submission, Antec might have a decent solution for you in the form of the Antec Three Hundred Two gaming chassis.

This is considered as the next generation of gaming chassis with high-performance cooling advantages and extensive expandability, all without breaking your bank account in the process and getting the other half upset at spending “frivolously” (that depends on whose point of view it is now, isn’t it?).

The Three Hundred Two enclosure is the latest addition to the Gaming Series family, and in order to keep up to the cool image, this sleek chassis comes in the traditional, no-nonsense black shade, and was specially designed to handle today's and tomorrow's high-performance systems without batting an eyelid. While gamers are the main market target, system integrators and casual builders are more than welcome to check out and see just what the Three Hundred Two is able to deliver.

The Three Hundred Two was specially built from ground up for maximum cooling effect, and this is made possible courtesy of its perforated front bezel, in addition to dual TwoCool fans, and four optional fans, not to mention the inclusion of a 120 mm CPU exhaust fan that is located right behind the motherboard, so that gamers are able to play long into the night without worrying of a meltdown, and I am quite sure that the fans themselves will be whisper quiet.

Want to expand your gaming rig to accommodate more hard drives and optical drives? Not a problem, as there are eight expansion slots in the Three Hundred Two, in addition to having enough space for up to three 12.5" (318 mm) graphics cards – making it compatible with even the largest GPUs out there. A removable, washable PSU and front intake air filters and a smart cable management system makes it easy for builders to use their new PC right away. Interested? It costs just $79.95 to bring home the Antec Three Hundred Two.

iON Goggles captures your outdoor memories in Full HD resolution

Posted: 26 Jan 2012 05:00 AM PST

Zeal Optics has just released their latest video recording implementation – the iON Goggles, where this nifty device that you wear while you ski down a breathtaking slope will not only offer you protection against the glare of the sun, but also sports a built-in Full HD capable video camera to capture that fleeting moment as you slalom down, in addition to the ability to shoot still images – preserving such memories in a digital format (and subsequently, print, if you so desire) for you to revisit later in life.

According to Joe Prebich, director of marketing at Zeal Optics, “We’ve arrived at Outdoor Retailer this year with the most diverse goggle portfolio on the market that takes full advantage of technology. The addition of HD video and photo built into an incredible goggle like iON is a perfect new offering for the market. We know that iON is going to change the way you see the mountain because we blend the way you ride with the way you live.”

The new iON Goggles will feature a 1080p True HD video camera which captures real-time video and sound, while the camera does 8-megapixel photos. You need not remove your gloves to operate this particular puppy, as the buttons are conveniently located on the side of the goggles. The camera in question comes with a sophisticated, 170-degree wide angle lens that will capture images in the wide periphery, and it is smart enough to automatically adjust itself for light levels and has infinity focus. With an in-goggle viewfinder and on-camera controls, you can be sure that using this is a snap. There is a 6-hour run time associated with the iON’s rechargeable lithium-ion battery, although the final figure largely depends on video and camera usage.

All images and videos captured are stashed away on a microSD memory card, where you can pop it into other devices for viewing later on. You can not only share your visual adventures over Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram among others, there is also Zeal’s online community. Expect the iON Goggles from Zeal Optics to retail for $399 apiece.
