Beauty Lift High Nose – vibrate your way to a beautiful schnoz

What could be more valuable than looking a million dollars when you wake up in the morning? The fact is, we human beans will spend any amount of money to make ourselves look better than we are, even when we look fine au natural. There’s no wrinkle, spot, blemish or crevice which couldn’t be fixed, smoothed or sorted out, right?

Bowflex Boost Fitness Band – Get up, and get moving!

It’s really difficult to lose weight, and/or trim up. Changing the way you eat and starting to work out can be really challenging, especially if you’re facing it on your own. While having a workout buddy is nice, coordinating schedules for two busy people to be in the same place at the same time is laughable at best.

Safe Turn – portable bicycle signal

If you ever get the chance to trap a cyclist in the corner of the room at a party, and ask him what he really really envies about car drivers, he’ll um and ah for a while, and then eventually reveal it’s turn indicators.

Most of us spend many hours parked in front of a computer screen every week. If you’re one of the fortunate ones who don’t suffer from repetitive motion symptoms (yet) consider yourself very lucky.

The worst part for me, the simple task of clicking a mouse, clicking a mouse for more than 10 minutes becomes painful. However, after scouring the Internet for…

Long URL – check that short URL before you click through and rest easy

I have to confess to being in two minds about short URLs. On the one hand they’re awesome for delivering compact web addresses in email messages and suchlike, but on the other they basically break the web. For one thing if the company or domain goes away, so does a big chunk of the web’s links, and for another they can be used to shield some pretty nasty sites and malware delivery mechanisms.

Executive Golf Mug – Like a boss

Sitting at a big desk all day can make you want to get out and enjoy a bit of nature. For some, that includes the green grass of a golf course. Sadly, working 9-5 means you hardly get to see it in the daylight. However, you can always practice your swing at work.

Kisai Blade LED Watch – the only constant is change

TokyoFlash seems to have a knack for making crazy, confusing, and amazing time pieces. These are not the type of watches for the average Joe who merely wants to peer at their wrist and be able to tell the time at a glance. These are wearable pieces of art, that will only tell you the time if your brain can figure out how to read them.

THL W200 – big beautiful new quad core budget phone should keep Samsung execs awake at night [Review]

We’ve said it before and we’ll say it again…the Chinese are coming. And not at a trot, but at a gallop. Regular readers will know that we’ve been tracking Chinese brand phones for a few years, and what we’ve seen in the past few months is a big shift in how they’re made and marketed, which is pitching them head to head with the premium handsets from major brands like Sony, Samsung and HTC. And where there used to be…
