When I visited a friend in Australia few months back, I was a bit jittery about feeling too cold. But what came to my rescue is some mattress heater that gave a warm comfy bed to retire in at the end of the chilly day. Didn’t really inquire much about what caused the bed to be at right temperature then. But now reading about this ChiliPad mattress topper, I can understand about the magic under the mattress. Designed by...

Timepieces are the ultimate accessory on a man's hand. Unlike jewelry and other blinged pleasures, a smart suave watch on the wrist exemplifies a man's affluence and uber-cool tastes. The Vulcania Watch is inspired by Captain Nemo's adventures and was a concept from HD3 Complication, till they decided to bring out 11 pieces (yup, its limited edition). With a very industrialized look, the time is derived from the rotating wheel cylinders on the left with the minutes on the...

The concept of nuclear reactors powering our homes has been around for a while. Apparently Toshiba is jumping on to this bandwagon; however it is not clear whether they will commercialize this project. Unlike the one designed by Hyperion Power Generation (which can power a 25,000-home community for at least five years) Toshiba's Micro Nuclear reactors are designed to power a single apartment building or city block. Toshiba's reactor measures a mere 20-foot by 6-feet and seems more elaborate...

It's been almost 12-years since I last visited Kenya, and the little bit that I remember about the streets of Nairobi, is that they are not that safe. You can't be all blinged up and walk down the streets. So I can totally comprehend the need for small merchants and money collectors to have a handy device that will accept e-payments on the go. The BiasharaPhone is one such phone that has been launched in Kenya. This gawky device...

I last played Duke Nukem when Pentium II 350 Mhz was ground breaking and a 32 MB Riva TNT 2 AGP with 3D glasses (Asus made them) was the best available. Times have changed now and video cards have more memory than computers back then. Coming back to Duke Nukem Forever the teaser does not show any gameplay, the trailer looks pre-rendered and does not showcase the game engine. The voice actor and dialog are still the same.

The Moto ZiNE Z10 is not yet official announced by Motorola but bits of information on the phone keep on leaking from time to time.
