Now you can get the chance to have this at your very own home with Muji CD player. It is apparently a simple and classic, mounting on the wall and showing your disc spinning as it plays.

How sensible would it be to sit with a bunch of fellow geeks, passing files from one another via USB – from your very own sofa! Well, to some it may seem quite a good idea. But why one earth shouldn’t anyone go for a simple USB pen drive that’s 1000 times cheaper instead. However, this sofa has an escape hatch; such a hatch that it cannot be cornered by even the most critical mind. It’s a concept. And...

This is something like the flick from the music video “Proper Education”, but not exactly so. A group of students at Wroclaw university of Technology, Poland, who call themselves Projekt P.I.W.O, had recently put up a giant light show. The ten minute show keeps you hooked on to a geeky display of colorful lights that shape up as Pong, Mario, Tetris and Michael Jackson too. It is the best and the longest I have seen so far. The video...

When a bunch of unmarried, desperate marriage brokers got together, they thought, hey why not create a marriage portal where we can search for grooms and brides and make money?

Haven’t you all heard of those geeks and techy nerds who would take their laptops to the loo, if it mattered? Maybe even have a shower with it and get electrocuted for stupidity?

This means that you don’t need to take your...
A lower priced, more powerful smart phone has finally got some hype. Thanks to the tactful marketing strategies of HTC, who will probably have a fantastic premier day clash with Sprint (who are always oozing out with goodies on Sundays).

It has a lot of power behind that humungous form factor, thanks to a 528 MHz Qualcomm processor, 128 MB RAM and 256 MB...
