06.29.2006Digital clock T-shirt
Don’t mind being a walking clock yourself ? Or desperately looking for some attention ? Then dress-up for the occasion with the digital clock T-shirt. This amusing unisex T-shirt has 4 AAA batteries that are within a hidden, washable battery compartment. The batteries last from 12-36 hours depending on whether you are operating in the digital clock or stop-watch mode. The clock itself can be switched on/off through a small button located on the pack. It is highly likely you will catch a few stares wearing this T-shirt. It might also be a good idea to wear one when you want to get across a not-so-subtle message to people who never seem to get to places on time. Available from latestbuy.com.au at $59.95 a piece. Buy only if you are looking for some pricey fun. Posted by kanchana

06.29.2006Mickey Mouse gets a makeover
While browsing the Nikkei wire service last night I came across an interesting fact: 90% of the Mickey Mouse representations sold in Japan are purchased by women. Toy manufacturer Tomy holds an exclusive license to produce Disney products for Japan, and the company has set their sights on capturing the male market that they have so far missed. Three redesigned Mickeys are being released late this summer as a gamble that a pop culture image will encourage new sales. The twelve inch vinyl Mickey dolls are designed to appeal to Japanese men in their late teens to early thirties. Apparently the red pants and the milquetoast image just weren't getting Mickey the cold hard Yen that he needs to support his hobbies as a punk rocker, a surf bum, and hip-hop producer. Pass Da M.I.C - Rap Mickey is decked out in the fashionable clothes of hip suburban schoolchildren: Baggy blue jeans, an over length short sleeve black t-shirt, a white hairnet under a baseball cap. Just like the MTV hip-hop kings Mickey is not without a massive piece of golden Mousekateer bling to show the kind of scrilla he brings in.

06.29.2006No more nanny-cams
If you’re the paranoid type, you may have already installed a nanny-cam in your home to keep an eye on the sitter. But, did you ever think about who might be watching you? The Spyfinder hidden camera detector finds any wired or wireless camera, active or not. Using LED technology and advanced principles of light refraction, this little wonder will keep prying eyes off of you. [Editorial note: I’m somehow feeling the urge to reference that oh-so-appropriate Daryl Hall and John Oates song here, but I won’t!] Available at many spy shops, this unit is comparatively a great value at about $100. Most ‘professional’ models go for at least five times that. Makes a perfect gift for your favorite babysitter who talks on the phone too long or has her boyfriend over when she shouldn't.

06.29.2006I just want a phone
Here's an interesting twist, a cell phone without the whiz-bang-camera-mp3-pda-video-blinky light extras. Stripped down to its bare minimum, product developers in India have developed the Mini Mobile. Designed with young children and the elderly in mind, as these users do not require or cannot use all the complicated features that are increasingly packed into phones. Without hard to read screens or hard to press keypads, it has just 3 buttons for placing calls to pre-programmed phone numbers. The Mini Mobile brings back simplicity and functionality into the usual one-up-manship of mobile phone design. Via IBNLive through Mobile Mag. Posted by Ray
