Fancy Giving Your Dog Some Beauty Treatment?

July 31, 07 by You Teck

Well, the folks AirPress company and the DOGS O2 have come out with a dog sized oxygen chamber to let your dearest dog to enjoy the very same oxygen treatments that we humans go for.

Erm, there’s one interesting point that’s being pointed out Addy Dugdale from Gizmodo. Oxygen therapy, apparently, reduces wrinkles. So does that means that if you put a Shar-pei in the O2 Dog, it will come out as something completely different. Hmm, interesting point indeed.

Ok, here’s a picture of the shar pei just incase you don’t know how it looks like.

July 31, 07 by You Teck

Here’s a really funny video you should watch if you’re a hardcore MMORPG fan, especially World of Warcraft. It’s named “The Guild Espisode 1″.

It’s being some time since I last played World Of Warcraft and I’ve got to admit that I played close to 16hours(weekend) a day but I’ve since kicked out the habit. World Of Warcraft can be extremely addictive and especially so when you’re doing guild run. Bottom line was I had to get back my life and thus I quit playing the game.

Ok, not long ago, there’s the waterproof MP3 player from SwiMP3 and now there’s the world’s first waterproof digital video player.

This waterproof video player will be available in Chinavasion soon,it can handle being submerged in up to about 10-feet of water without skipping a beat and the earphones are also watertight. The player has a small 1.8-inch color display and comes with software to convert videos from MPEG, WMV, ASF formats. Audio playback is also supported in WAV, WMA and MP3 formats.

The player comes in 1GB memory but it can display a resolution of 128*128 with 15 frame-per-second playback, thus it should be able to hold a decent amount of video.

This gadget is cool and everything but seriously, can you actually really swim in laps and watch a movie at the same time?
