Intel Atom Chip Announced

Intel have announced their new range of efficient chips designed to be used in new long battery life laptops and notebooks.

“This is our smallest processor built with the world’s smallest transistors. The Intel® Atom™ processor is based on an entirely new design, built for low power and designed specifically for a new wave of Mobile Internet Devices and simple, low-cost PC’s. This small wonder is a fundamental new shift in design, small yet powerful enough to enable a big Internet experience on these new devices. We believe it will unleash new innovation across the industry.”

Tandem Z Pico Copter For The Pro Pilot

Bloody hell we have found a shed load of cool gadget based toys this week and today is no exception. Ladies and gentlemen meet the Pico Tandem copter based on the chinook army helicopter.

 This bad boy is a little harder to fly than its smaller sibling so if you are a new pilot I would suggest you start with the pico z and move your way on to this mother.

Here is the blurb:

Although the Tandem is too titchy to carry troops or heavy artillery, it’s more than capable of lifting your spirits (groan!) as it aka-aka-aka’s around the room. And that’s no surprise because this is the world’s first twin-rotor micro chopper. It’s more fun than a Sea Knight load of fun things from Funville.

Bike Cuffs Prove A Real Head Ache For Thief’s

Have you ever had your bike stolen, or known someone that has? It really annoys me and I want those suckers to pay! Well I have found a gadget that will do the next best thing - it will stop thief’s in their tracks.

Unlike conventional locks these little babies are based on real life police handcuffs and they are just as hard to break, which is the whole point I guess. Here is what firebox said about them:

Thanks to a hardened pivot link, wannabe crooks can’t use leverage to defeat the cuffs. What’s more, the heat-treated, patented lock core is virtually pick-proof. Even Houdini would have problems busting out of these babies. In fact build-quality is so high, Bike Cuffs come with a lifetime guarantee.

This little gadget could be the answer to all your bike security problems, it’s simple but effective. We love gadget’s, especially when they keep sticky mits off our stuff.

Space Invaders Doormat

Doormats on the whole are boring, they are brown bristle filled rectangles that you barely notice as you step over the threshold of your home. Well not any more - the space invaders doormat is here!

We found this little beauty on the firebox website and were amazed. Here is the blurb

Crafted in industrial grade rubberised plastic, this generously proportioned (64cmx40cm) muck-muncher is certainly no slouch in the practicality department. But let’s be honest, its true role lies in paying chic tribute to a global gaming phenomenon that has yet to be surpassed. Lara who?

The only thing that would make this household gadget cooler would be if you could actually play the game on the doormat, that said this would look at home on any gadget lovers doorstep. It’s retro gadgetry at it’s best.
