If you ever wanted a clock capable of stopping your guests in their tracks, then this is definitely the ticket.  Just seeing the clock out of the corner of my eye while I type is enough to make me just a little bit dizzy.  Sure, it probably won’t put them in a trance, but it’ll at least keep your evenings interesting.  I’d just advise not putting this above the TV or anything else that you tend to look at for long periods though.

This eye catching clock offers quiet and smooth operation and can used anywhere you like.  If you happen to hold some kind of job position with power it’d be fun to put it directly above your head.  Then you can hypnotize all of your employees or at the very least put them in a little bit of a daze.  You can purchase the clock through Think Geek for $19.99.

Having a GPS in my car is great for those times when I’m visiting a new city. It tells me the most efficient way to get to where I need to be. When I want to find something to eat, or a specific store, I can just look it up on my phone, find the address and then type it into the GPS unit. Actually, that is something of a pain. Wouldn’t it be better if you could just press a button and send the address to your GPS, rather then manually typing it in? If you have a SYNC-equipped Ford car, you’ll soon be able to do just that. Ford is getting ready to roll out an update called “Send to SYNC” which will allow you to send information from Google Maps directly to the car. You’ll be able to pull up a restaurant on your iPhone, laptop, or even your home computer, and then send the address to your car. Once you’re ready to take off, the car will guide you to your predetermined destination. Now if we could just get this sort of functionality out of standalone GPS units.

No one’s really sure what surprises Nikon has in store for its successor to the D90, but if they can make it do what this new Lomography Spinner 360° does, they’ve got at least one guaranteed sale from me. Like with most Lomos the camera’s design is dead simple, and even easier to use, but the results still set it apart from today’s digital alternatives.

The camera swivels on a hand grip extending below it, and also comes with a feature you don’t usually find on a camera: a ripcord. While most panoramic photos cover a 120° perspective from left to right, the LomoSpinner 360° goes all the way around when you yank the cord, producing a panoramic photo that’s 4X longer than a standard landscape portrait. Not sure why that’s cool? Well check out these sample shots below, which I guess are each worth 4,000 words if I’ve done my math correctly.

Apple announced the launch date of the new iPhone 4 smartphone at the Apple’s Worldwide Developer Conference (or WWDC) 2010. Measuring a mere 9.3mm thick, the iPhone 4 will become the one of the thinnest smartphone nowadays, where it will features A4 chip, a 3.5-inch Retina display with multitouch, 960×640 resolution at 326ppi, 800:1 contrast ratio, a 5 Megapixel camera with 720p/30fps HD video recording and LED flash, and a front-facing camera for FaceTime iPhone 4 to iPhone 4 video call over Wi-Fi.  Other features include a A-GPS/GPS, digital compass, Bluetooth, WiFi 802.11n, accelerometer, proximity sensor, ambient light sensor, 850, 900, 1900, 2100 MHz quad-band HSPA/UMTS and quad-band GSM networks supports, and a three-axis gyro sensor and dual-mic noise cancellation.  There also a fingerprint-resistant oleophobic coating on front and back.

Sprint yesterday announced the release of Samsung Restore m570 eco-friendly messaging phone onto its distribution network. The handset is now available at Sprint retail stores for $49.99 with a new 2-year contract, after a $50 mail-in rebate. The phone itself sports a slide-out QWERTY keyboard, a QVGA LCD display, a 2MP camera with video recording, and Bluetooth connectivity. Other features include MP3 player, Bluetooth, microSD card slot (support up to 32GB), and your choice of Midnight and Limeade colors. The customers will also gets Sprint own customization features, such as Sprint Family Locator, Sprint Football Live, Sprint Navigation and Sprint TV3 services.

Let’s pretend for a moment that you’ve never watched the Transformers movies, and so you’ve always wondered what exactly a real life Transformer would look like. Couple that with a green angle so that he’s made out of recycled steel, and you get this 2.5 meter tall Autobot warrior. Apparently Optimus Prime doesn’t spend all of his time fighting Decepticons and spitting out clever one-liners like “My bad,” he also keeps along a retinue of scantily clad women wherever he goes. Giant robots need love too after all, right?

His present company aside, you have to admit that this guy is pretty rocking. The replica is made out of over five thousand unique parts. All of said parts have been recycled from various sources, including TVs, cars, and a number of other industrial byproducts with no other use left other than to serve the forces of good. As you might have already guessed, the company that put this together is called Robosteel, and they can put a guardian of earth together just for you! Unfortunately the aid of outer-space robots does not come cheap, as you will have to shell out $7,500 to get your hands on one. Don’t worry, Optimus Prime is good for it…also I believe delivery is included. I know what you’re thinking, but no, the replica will not be able to drive itself. You can try to transform him manually if you want…but be sure not to let him fall on you. Something tells me this guy is not on the lighter side. I’ll have to load him up on my Wii Fit board and see what happens. Does Optimus Prime qualify as a pet?

You don’t have to worry about shoddy craftsmanship here, either; This life-size sculpture is built to withstand the test of time. When he arrives he’ll be expertly welded and polished. You can also leave Optimus out in the rain, too. A strong layer of lacquer keeps these transformers safe from the elements. No word yet on how they’ll handle a plasma blast or super-heated blade, though. I’d be willing to wager an AC130 could probably still take him out, so do be careful. Unfortunately from what I understand his harem does not come standard either, so you’ll have to find your own ladies to keep him company.

If Aliens are more to your taste, then take a look at the Recycled Alien Queen or the District 9 Prawn replica.

Nokia has announced the availability of the Nokia C3 for the UK market. The new handset will be available SIM free for £109 from June 18th, 2010. For your info, Vodafone will also release theNokia C3 on June 22nd, 2010. The new Nokia C3 is powered by a QWERTY keyboard, a 2-megapixel camera, GPRS and Wi-Fi. There is also a social networking integration that offers instant access to all your favorite sites such as Facebook and Twitter straight from the home screen. TheNokia C3 is currently available in hot pink, slate grey and golden white.

Instead of purchasing an expensive toy plane or helicopter with a camera already built into it, you could buy a camera seperate.  That way you could just pop it onto your favorite RC aircraft instead of having to replace it with something completely new.  Also if  you happen to crash the plane you’re more likely to have to replace either the plane or the camera rather than the whole thing.

The lightweight camera takes video at 640 by 480 pixels at 25 fps.  While it’s taking that video the battery can keep it up and going for right around 1.5 hours.  Now if you happen to be taking pictures instead, the resolution is at 1280 by 960, that’s quite a bit better than when it’s shooting video.  You can manually move the lens itself to get the right angle you desire before the plane takes off.  You can purchase the 2GB camera for $48 through Chinavasion.

Sometime, in the year 2013, when we have realized that that whole 2012 end-of-the-world thing was just another Y2K, we will (hopefully) see the EQP2 Excursion.

The Excursion is a Light Sport Aircraft (LST) that has enough space for two people and baggage. You may note that it has two propellers on its tail, but what you don’t know is that is completely electrical. Yeah, there is no expensive jet fuel in this thing.

The plane itself is less than 20 feet long, and can fly at speeds of 250 miles per hour for about 1,265 miles on a single charge.

It kind of reminds me of this plane that the Roger Moore James Bond flew in Octopussy. It was during the opening part of the film that pretty much has nothing to do with the rest of the film. As I recall, Bond’s joke before the sexy credits was pulling into a gas station with his mini-plane and saying “fill ‘er up”. I suppose he would probably say “charge it up” if he was flying the EQP2.

I suppose I will look forward to seeing this plane in the next three years, assuming the designers keep to their timetable. Of course, they don’t know exactly what will power this aircraft as yet.

This rather plain looking, oak-mirror from Designers Anonymous features a series of LEDs that light-up to form the image of a hanging chandelier when switched on. Now to be quite honest, the fact that you can see the dotted outline of the chandelier in the daytime kind oframed f ruins the effect for me, and given the mirror costs ~$840 (£580) I would have preferred if the chandelier was completely invisible until the LEDs were illuminated. But I can be really picky when it comes to light-up mir
