 | | Electronic Ear Plugs – Friends of Your Ears | Sep 02, 2010 | 
Ear plugs are special devices that protect you from noise, water or other things that might get in your ears. However, classic ear plugs in the modern world seem to be quite uncomfortable and out of fashion. We hope these in future will be replaced by electronic ear plugs Kill Noise developed by Chinese engineer Xiao-bin.
In the modern world we are always surrounded by an enormous amount of various noises. Sometimes it is almost impossible to concentrate on work or conversation because of noise that prevents us from being attentive. What about eliminating these sounds? This is possible with electronic ear plugs and it is really great that these help to eliminate only those sounds that are annoying.
Kill Noise ear plugs are very similar to ear plugs designed for musicians. These can be inserted in the ear to the depth that you need, thus they eliminate sounds of various volumes. The Kill Noise ear plugs feature speaker, microphone and a regulator.
With help of regulator you can choose the sounds that you want to hear and you can eliminate those that are annoying. For instance, you can program it so that you will hear only human voice or some other sounds and you will not hear any other sounds that annoy you.
You can use two devices simultaneously, or you can use only one device, for instance when you are going to make a call.

| | The Ergonomic G50 Vanguard Mouse | Aug 02, 2010 |

What is more, there is a special place for each finger. It is important to note that the G50 Vanguard has 11 clickable controls that have been ergonomically designed and located to keep with the anti-RSI theme of the whole mouse. Thus this mouse combats major causes of repetitive strain injury.
Together with buttons there is a scroll wheel that scrolls both the X-axis and Y-axis. The scroll wheel has been relocated to the thumb rest portion. Development of this fantastic mouse took months of studies, but it seems to be really worth it. The mouse is not only easy and comfortable to use, also it catches attention by its very stylish design that is likely to seem great to any gamer.

The designer says that his concept can be very helpful for the students to concentrate on the teacher’s lecture, if you ever were a student, you know that lecture often gets interrupted on focusing on taking notes that the teacher writes on the blackboard. I just don’t understand one thing – are students who dream of this device going to learn the information, or do they think that the device will do this instead of them?

| | The iPad Clamshell Notebook | Jun 01, 2010 |  Experiments with non-standard use of iPad tablet computer go on. Do you remember the quite doubtful modding - the 25-year old Macintosh with tablet computer casing? This time the idea is similar, however the “envelope” is a bit fresher – this is the iBook G3 “Clamshell” notebook that had quite an unusual rounded case for its 2001 year of manufacture and thus entered the history of portable computers.
The iBook G3 was based on the PowerPC processor with frequency of 300-466 MHz, that in modern times turns computer into a stylish typewriter. Perhaps that is why an unknown moder decided to renovate the device’s configuration.
As the result the iPad Clamshell notebook appeared. The device has a touch screen (formerly known as iPad tablet computer) and new keyboard that is connected with the tablet by Bluetooth protocol. In general, modding can be considered quite successful, however, it has one and quite a sad minus – the notebook cannot be closed – there is a high risk to damage the screen.
