What on earth…?
The Diamond Flower Mouse is unremarkable save for the fact that it is made of white gold and inlaid diamonds will set you back £14,995.00. Who buys this stuff? Can someone point them in my direction, because I’ve got a bridge I need to sell real fast…? Upper case and buttons of the Diamond Flower are made of 750 white gold. This means that 750 parts out of 1000 are pure gold. The gold gets its white color from the…
This is a photo of the new F35 Joint Strike Fighter Pilot Helmet and it scares us muchly.

We wouldn’t mind so much, but they promised us flying cars too, and where are they? More here. VSI is now under contract to develop the Helmet Mounted Display System (HMDS) for the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter aircraft. Some of…

Giggles Baby Software. Now here’s the thing. Most of us spend a fairly large amount of time trying to keep kids and babies away from our computer keyboards. And for very good reason. They dribble, spit, drop lumps of food and brown yucky stuff in between keys…the list goes on. You wouldn’t let a 40 foot great white shark near your mouse would you, well babies are 1000 times worse. Right? RIGHT? So when we hear about a software program specifically designed…

ChaCha has been getting a fair bit of press recently. It’s a standard search engine with a twist, in that there’s an option to get help from a live human if you’re having trouble finding what you want. Goodness knows how this is going to scale, and to be honest it looks more like a marketing puff than a real long term product, but they’ve just scored a lot of VC cash, so watch that space as they say. Colour us sceptical (especially…
This PP3 Machine thing is absolute proof that civilisation is teetering on the brink of…well something. What does it do? It spins round in circles and the eyes flash? Why? No really, why? Hey, pay me £7.99/$16.78 and I’ll spin round in a circle and flash my eyes. Sheesh! At the heart of this machine is a PP3 battery. Switch him on, and the eyes flash, and PP3 spins round in circles. Apparently PP3 thinks he is in charge. Of…

Blair’s 16 Million Reserve. Billed as the world’s hottest chili powder. How hot? Werll…Tabasco? About 1500 Scoville units. Mad Dog’s Revenge (450 times hotter than Tabasco) about 1 million Scoville units. Yep, you’re way ahead of me here, this one rates at 16 million SU. Here’s a review on the Hot Sauce Blog for you to wince at, plus some cringe-worthy pictures of what one grain does to you if you’re not careful. Apparently this kind of macho stuff is considered fun…
EcoSeek claims to be an eco-friendly search engine. The front page is a real mess, and the first random search I tried -‘wood burning stove’ – returned zero hits. It’s clearly such a green engine that it’s saving power by…uh…not delivering any results at all. Riiight! The search engine for all things green. Our mission is to connect and educate future-friendly consumers with eco-friendly products, manufacturers and local earth-conscious stores. Tags: ecoseek, ecological, green, search+engine
