ECCI Trackstar 6000 – the ultimate sim racing system
This ECCI Trackstar 6000 is apparently the numero uno sim-racing rig in the world. We’re talking a two-tone leather steering wheel, fluid damped steering which emulate the feel of tyres on pavement, fine tuned customisable steering resistance, high precision USB electronics and a shock absorbing desk clamp. Matching pedals also available. That’s enough for us, we’re sold. Now where’s that copy of Colin McRae’s rally from 1992? Priced from $989.00 and up. Unlike most wheels that are circular in grip…
Read MoreSperian Anti-Mine Boots – the ultimate kickwear for dubious parties
These Sperian Anti-Mine Boots are NOT going to win you any fashionista points down on your local dance floor, but when you’re talking about Kevlar soled, armour plated shoewear that might just save your legs in an explosion, you’re probably not that fussed about the fancy bits, right? Our vote goes to stopping the use of these nasty little beasts (mines not boots) in the first place, but what do we know? The “V” shape of the sole deflects the…
Read MoreBiovein – security control system uses your veins as collateral
The Biovein system scans your fingertip and verifies your identity via the pattern of veins. It’s what you might call ultra-biometric. It’s very French and based on the Hitachi technology known as VeinID. The idea is that veins are impossible to forge. Hard to argue with that really, eh? Priced at around an arm and a leg or so. Finger vein authentication uses leading-edge light transmission technology developed by Hitachi to undergo pattern-matching and authentication. Near-infrared light is transmitted through the…

Read MoreMr Jones’ Average Day Watch – we don’t need no stinkin’ numerals
Mr Jones Average Day Watch takes time beyond mere numerals and gives it a touch of insouciant style for peoples what care little for convention. Instead of measuring hours, you get to measure activities at each point in the day. So if the average joe would be working, you’ll see the time is pointing to work. Of course without a 24 hour digital display the timepiece has to double up on activities, so you’ll also see TV as an option in the same segment…
Read MoreLanye N70 Mini Projector Mobile Phone – is this the end for teeny screens?
The Lanye N70 Mini Projector Mobile Phone is a miracle of engineering, yessir. Not just dual band GSM with a 2.4 inch touchscreen, Bluetooth and a 300K camera, but miracles, they’ve shoved a micro projector in there too which can project a screen up to 30 inches on a nearby wall. The future, it is here, non? It needs twin 1800 mAh lithium ion batteries to do this trick though, so good luck with making a call after you’ve watched…
Read MoreDigital Thermometer Pan – perfect cooking through geekiness
Digital Thermometer Pan. There’s no doubt that this was invented by a full-on, classically trained geek person. I mean, c’mon, can you see Raymond Blanc or the Roux brothers suddenly getting the idea to stick a thermometer inside a cooking skillet in order to monitor exact temperature? Nope, not really. $49.99. So many recipes you see tell you to “put a pan on medium heat.” Medium heat? What is that – 300? 400? You can never be quite sure of your pan’s surface…

Read MoreSoundmaster High Line MP3 Clock Radio – the little radio with attitude and buttons. Lots of buttons…
The Soundmaster High Line MP3 Clock Radio is not particularly innovative in features, but it does have a certain something in other areas. For example you may have noticed that it’s black. And it has a lot of tiny chrome buttons. And some rather fetching blue dials. For these reasons alone, dear reader, we are proud to feature the product on our humble page. £47.95. Just slide your SD/MMC card with your favourite MP3 songs into the built-in card reader….
