Paparazzi are very annoying for the celebrities. But if you are a celebrity with these sunglasses, the paparazzi would have no way to capture you on video cameras. Your face will be invisible to the camera!

Learn how to make one of these sunglasses yourself in the above video. Basically, it uses infra-red LEDs to shine an intense light that only video cameras are capable of seeing. Let’s hope a more elegant commercial solution will be in the market soon.

Very soon, Cyalume sticks (aka glow sticks) will be history. MPK CO. has invented a new kind of light source called Litroenergy that acts somewhat like a glow stick, but lasts more than 12 years without ever needing a recharge. No electricity nor solar exposure required!

“The Litrospheres are not effected by heat or cold, and are 5,000-pound crush resistant. They can be injection molded or added to paint. The fill rate of Litroenergy micro particles in plastic injection molding material or paint is about 20%. The constant light gives off no U.V. rays, and can be designed to emit almost any color of light desired.”

Safe, consistent, and eco-friendly. Litroenergy could possibly save billions of dollars for the world.

But smart netizens has dug out Litroenergy’s patent application, and it says the active ingredient used is Tritium. That is the tricky part - United States has a ban on the import of Tritium, probably due to its radioactive nature.

Do you think this product will ever materialize?

In two words: DAMN COOL!

For those familiar with Mac, we all know how useful Exposé can be. With the click of a button, it elegantly displays all your open windows in one screen, making it really easy to find a particular window that you are looking for.

Long have Windows users yearned for something like this. There have been several offerings for Windows that tries to do the same, but neither has been particularly successful in emulating the original. And with the birth of Windows Vista, there is now Windows-TAB that does something similar, but still not as good.

But now, we have something new called DExposE2 Reloaded. This one seems really promising in becoming a worthy substitute for Exposé on Windows. It even features a handful of extras such as interactive previews, hot corners, and multi-monitor support. Why not give it a shot?

I was offered to do a review for earbud JACK, a seemingly normal piece of plastic for organizing your earbud cords. Tons of these stuffs out there. But, upon closer inspection, JACK stands out from the rest as both clever and cute!

The whole point of JACK is to keep your earbud’s cord from tangling when not in use. Most of the time, this happens after we dump our DAP together with the earbud into our bags without rolling up the cord.

Stowing your earbud with JACK is easy.

• Throw the earbuds over his shoulders
• Pull the cord under his foot
• Wrap the rest around his head and feet
• Place the plug in his hand

Simple! And you can now put away your earbud without having it entangle. You’ll be glad the next time you whip out your iPod.

And what makes JACK such a clever design, is how you can hook it to your cords with his hands while your earbuds are in use. No need to keep him in some pocket, he’ll be happy to hang on your cords until you’re ready to use him again.

Verdict

Ease of Use: 5/5
It was really easy to wrap your earbuds around JACK. I can stow my cord within seconds.

Usefulness: 5/5
It is really useful beyond any doubt. Tangled cords are frustrating. And compared to many other smaller cord organizers, earbud JACK is large enough to require less rounds around it. Having to wrap too many small rounds would result in a really curly cord after prolonged storage.

Attractiveness: 4/5
JACK has such an interesting design. I’m sure you’ll get a pleasant smile or two as you walk down the street while JACK grips on to your cord for dear life.

Value for Money: 4/5
For just US$9 (earbud JACK on Amazon), it is a pretty cheap investment.

Has anyone tried their hands yet on Adobe’s new web image-editing tool, Photoshop Express?

I took a test drive and found it stylish, intuitive, social, and equipped with the very necessary image-editing functions. Completely appealing.

Just like Adobe’s Photoshop Lightroom, it neatly organizes and tells you in a glance how many photos you have in your library and the respective albums they are in.

Intrigued but skeptical as I am, I logged in to my Facebook account from Photoshop Express, half expecting something totally inconvenient that will prompt me to end my test drive. But I was pleasantly surprised at how easy I was able to access to my photos on Facebook.

I moused over one of my recent favorites to find options to edit, download, or embed it on my blog. Intuitive.

The editing options were less than power-packed, but definitely comprehensive enough for the purpose of image-editing on the web. It’s not meant to replace serious image-editing anyway.

The Gallery is another neat way to share your albums with the community and your friends.

I like the convenience of it all. Definitely worth recommending to your Facebook, Picasa friends.

Dive operators, dive guides and seasoned divers may soon have a new “toy” to play with - contributing details of diving hot spots around the world right down to the water conditions and maybe, just maybe to the species of corals and the residents living there.

Rumor has it that Google is brewing an exciting 3D ocean map with the help of marine experts and in selected areas, providing us with high-resolution pictures.

Google’s foray into the ocean comes as no surprise really - with the (Google) Earth and (Google) Sky already covered, it’s probably the next best extension of the project.

I’d say the guys behind Asia Dive Site would definitely have plenty to contribute. So would many, many other websites.

And for those who do not fancy descending 70 feet into the deep blue sea, it’s time to get ready to take a tour underwater - all dry.

What’s more romantic than a pair of connectable Cat 5 ethernet rings!

A wedding set for the unconventional! The female ring has a choice of four opaque colors: turquoise, white, orange or black. The male ring stands tall and dramatically transparent. Switch-up the sexes! Order two of the same! The world is your technological oyster.

Each ring is currently priced at US$7.00.

hField Technologies’ Wi-Fire is a compact high-performance USB Wi-Fi Adapter for Mac and PC that extends the Wi-Fi range upwards of 1,000 feet. Being a college student, I am blessed with a blanketed campus, offering a strong Wi-Fi signal wherever I go, right? …. Well, wrong. Dreaded dead spots exist and, to my dismay, my dorm room seems to be the epicenter of a dead spot, a barren wasteland of former Wi-Fi signal.

My solutions included hardwiring—too easy. Setting up a router? Forbidden. And as this epic conundrum reached a head, an epiphany hit me like a ton of bricks (as they tend to do). However, this epiphany came in the form of a small device called the Wi-Fire from a startup company that I had never heard of. The device triples the power of the internal receptor, making it virtually impossible not to get a signal, regardless of where you are.

On my current winter break, my internet cut out on me and, although I am not condoning it, I continued surfing without a problem off of an unsecured network down the street. The device uses a directional antenna with an arrow to ensure a strong signal. According to hField’s site, “the Wi-Fire provides interoperability with any 802.11 b/g access point and multiplies the effectiveness of wireless networks allowing users to connect to a WiFi network from up to 1,000 feet, more than three times the range of Airport cards and other 802.11 adapters, at significantly higher speeds, and even in locations where no wireless signal could be detected previously.”

If you’re looking to improve your internet connectivity and thereby improve your efficiency in any setting whether it’s the airport, park or even dorm room, look no further than this valuable gizmo from hField Technologies, Inc.

The device is 3 x 4 x 3/8 inches in size. It folds up for transportation and connects to the Mac and PC using USB. The device retails for $79 in the U.S.

Ethics aside, imagine a little weather-resistant device that will ensure that no unknown vehicular activities are carried out under your nose.

Measuring 3.8 inches in length and 1.46 inches in width (about the size of a slim mobile phone), the magnetic GPS Tracking Key by LandAirSea can be mounted onto your car (even underneath) instantly to receive signals from the twenty-four Department of Defense GPS satellites orbiting the earth to give you precise information on where a person traveled, how fast they drove, where they stopped and for how long.

Well, this is not to say that you are supposed to use it to monitor the whereabouts of anyone in real-time. (Thank God!) The recorded data, accurate up to 2.5 metres, can be downloaded and displayed over web applications like Google Earth simply by plugging the USB device straight into your computer.

I say this little thing is good for long distance road travel. If you’re someone who needs to know exactly ALL the details of your next road trip. You never know when this information come in handy, eh?

The LandAirSea Tracking Key runs on two AAA batteries and can last for approximately two weeks based on driving activity of 2 hours per day and alkaline batteries. Using lithium batteries would buy you even more tracking life.
