Nuclear wristwatch that's built to last 25 years

Totally safe!





A wristwatch that runs on nuclear energy has gone on sale. It's completely safe, and there’s a very good chance it will last longer than any previous watch you have ever owned.?
Strapping your wrist with a watch that is powered by some kind of nuclear chain reaction might sound insane, but there’s method in the madness.?
First we need to emphasise again, that the Nuclear wristwatch is 100 per cent safe. Even the Nuclear Regulatory Commission says so, having given the watch its approval.?
It works by 100 quadrillion (yes, this is a word – we checked) radioactive hydrogen atoms systematically destroying themselves at a rate of 250 million atoms a second. If this sounds like a lot, be reassured that even after 12.3 years of continual atom bombardment, there will still be 50 quadrillion inside the watch.?That’s 50,000,000,000,000,000 atoms.?
The hands of the watch glow a luminous green while the 12 o’clock point is a bright orange. Sitting on a stainless steel black clock face, it’s an eye-catching display. The Nuclear Wristwatch is also water resistant up to 100m.?
The Nuclear Watch is available from www.gadgetsandgear.com now for

TshirtOS goes for a night on the town in spectacular fashion (video)

Girls, whisky and good times





TShirtOS, the high-tech washable T-shirt that has a built-in flexible display and the ability to talk to your phone so you can share Twitter updates, Facebook posts or Instagram pictures, has made it out of the lab to spend a night on the tiles, showing us just how it works in "real-life environments"


Created by Ballantine’s whisky and clothing company CuteCurcuit, the one-of-a-kind prototype features a large flexible LED screen with a resolution of 1024 pixels, spaced 1cm apart, in a 32 by 32 pixel grid embedded into the fabric of the T-shirt.
As you can see from the video, the T-shirt?also has a camera for taking pictures, two headphone jacks - one for the headphone and the second for a headset/ microphone option - and an accelerometer presumably to know whether you are standing up or lying down enjoying the breeze.
The two chaps in the video take it out for a spin trying to woo a girl, but end up using the T-shirt in a variety of ways - including doubling it up as a karaoke lyric reader and getting into a fight, all with the help of the accompanying iPhone app.
Party time.

Fujitsu PalmSecure-SL – The World’s Smallest Contactless Palm Vein Authentication Sensor

Fujitsu and Fujitsu Frontech have collaborated to develop the PalmSecure-SL, the world’s smallest and slimmest contactless palm vein authentication sensor. Measuring 48.0mm x 16.4mm, the PalmSecure-SL uses camera stabilization and guideless authentication functionality to maintain the same high level of authentication as Fujitsu’s existing PC login sensor technology. The device also features a power-saving mode, which is able to reduce the amount of power it consumes. [Fujitsu]

Unthinkable 256GB Flash Drive

I’m sure you’ve been in a situation where you wanted to have just a little bit more space on your thumb drive to give a movie or CD to your friend. However, in my many years of computing with even the most media hungry friends, I’ve never had any need for anything more than just a few gigs on a thumb drive. But Kingston, in their all-knowing wisdom, has decided to release an astronomical amount of memory on a 256GB flash drive. They call the product the Kingston DataTraveler 310.

The practical application for 256 gigabytes seems impossible but before I delve into a diatribe about why I initially thought this was such a completely foolish idea, I decided to play devil’s advocate. I can see why some users may want to store entire media collections on something this small. It’s small, compact, and extremely lightweight. For those that are stuck for room and need to carry almost their entire computer’s hard drive with them in their pocket, it’s definitely a savvy investment. But, for those of us that only need to carry a few spreadsheets, documents, and pictures of our kids out by the pool with us wherever we go, the much cheaper alternatives are still an amazing buy.
It wasn’t too long ago that we were impressed by a measly few megabytes of space on our portable storage. But now, we’re all the way up to a quarter of a terabyte of space in the size of a car key. “We’re sure that it’s only a matter of moments before a 256GB thumb drive this bulky is something of a joke” says Joseph Flatley of Engadget. And, he’s right. I first saw this product and said to me, “Why would anyone ever want to purchase something like this?” I then realized how ignorant I sounded. It was just a few years ago that we thought it impossible to use the few megabytes of space we got a thumb drive. Now we’re up to hundreds of gigabytes and in time, that too will become obsolete. While many users don’t have an immediate use for a product like this, it won’t be long before things like this are ubiquitous in every household.
For those that needed that extra space, for their netbook or otherwise, you will only be able to get this new Kingston product if you live in Europe or the UK. There’s no sign of it coming to the United States anytime soon. It costs right around
