Digital Video Rocket Lets You Record Video From The Sky

August 31, 07 by You Teck

If you’ve always wanted to see what the hell is happening around your neighborhood, check out the Digital Video Rocket, for it can do just that, and it’s through the sky.

Digital Video Rocket

The only sad thing about this device is that it can only take up to 12 seconds of video at a 640 x 480 pixel resolution or take up to three pictures per flight, so you might have to spend time on taking it down, download the materials and launch it again.

Packed with a launch pad and remote controller, this baby can fly up to 500 feet in the sky and its powered by the Estes C6-5 engines. If you ever consider about buying it, it’s priced at $59.95 USD and you can get it at Hammacher.

Aura Ball Changes Color According To Your Aura

August 31, 07 by You Teck

I’m one of those people who believes in Aura and don’t ask my why, because there won’t be a definite answer just like how you can never predict what a girl is thinking.

AuraDama

Just strap the The Aura Ball Flashing Phone Strap to your mobile phone and you’re ready to check your aura on the go. Press the button at the top of the ball and it will release a beep sound follow by a fantastic flash of rainbow color. Once it stops, the final color will be your aura for the day.

Here’s the representation of the colors:
RED:
You’re full of energy and guts. Be confident but don’t go around bossing people.

ORANGE:
You’re out going and active. Do anything you think of. Try to be tender to your family and friends.

YELLOW:
You’re popular among people. Have fun with friends. Be careful not to lose confidence by your own frivolity.

GREEN:
You’re very helpful to others. But don’t be too reserved.

BLUE:
You’re smart and sensitive. But don’t be too nervous.

INDIGO:
You have a keen instinct and can be outstanding among people. But don’t try to show yourself more than you are.

PURPLE:
You’re tender and take care of others. But don’t forget to take care of yourself.

WHITE:
You’re pure like an angel or a baby. You’re very susceptible to others. Don’t lose yourself.

The following description is real interesting, “There is a special censor inside of Aura dama. It catches the subtle energy human body emits and converts it into electrical energy. Human body emits invisible energy from several chakra points. The censor can catch the energy and convert it into energy frequency. The censor allots the matching color to the energy frequency it detected.”

Wow, talk about chakra point, I thought it only exists in Naruto (Japan Anime). As much as I believe in Aura, I’m not totally sure if these balls are as accurate but it has then claimed that the technology has been developed by Solid Alliance for the past 3 years.

The ball is priced at 23.33 USD with the option of pre-order if you don’t want to wait for its release which could be in a weeks time.

This Gamer Only Wanted To Test The Game

Fabian Baumann only had one thing in mind when he attended the Olympics of video games over the weekend and that’s to watch only.

However, with the curiosity of an avid gamer, he wanted to try out the game but was told that he had to join the tournament to play because they were using the computers for tournament play the whole day. Thus, he ended up as a last-minute entrant despite having never played the game before.

The follow quote from him sums up how he feel at that moment,”So I joined the tournament thinking ‘Yeah I’ll get my ass handed to me but at least I’ll try the game.’ “.

Being a total noob any everything, he turned to Nicholas Tsaoucis, a veteran Command & Conquer player, who was widely expected to win the tournament, for some tips on how to play and the end result was, he went on to beat Tsaoucis, who came second out of a field of 30 players.

His price was an all-expenses-paid trip to the World Cyber Games grand final in Seattle - paid for by the event’s sponsor, Samsung - to be held between October 3 and 7.

Baumann was probably what one would call to have the special genes to inherit martial art skills (in this case, the game) in the ancient times.
