Exploring Stuff That Makes Life Great
We brought you rumours about it all the way back in January, but it looks like it has been confirmed by the big man Mr. Gates himself – Windows 7, the next version of Windows will be shipping next year itself! While we’re not sure how that’s terribly good news, we’re going to be all excited about it all the same!
Hit the jump in 3… 2… 1.

Over at ThinkGeek they had the above T-Shirt advertised claiming it was the answer to all of life’s mundane problems. That being the often mundane nature of life.
It was hailed as the Personal Soundtrack T-Shirt. The piece of clothing that would enhance your life by adding music to it, thanks to a built-in speaker and remote control.
It was, of course a load of baloney. But due to popular demand it is being turned into a real product.
The T-Shirt works by playing pre-recorded sounds at the press of a button of the wearers choosing. So for example, if on a romantic date with your other half press the button which plays a romantic theme or jingle etc.
Although I wouldn’t be caught wearing one, gotta admit the design look’s pretty cool.Sound like your thing? Then get your name on the list, over here.
I’m pissed off!
If it wasn’t enough that in the March 31st issue of the International Herald Tribune, a front page article declared: The Baton Passes to Asia, with a tag line of “It’s the end of the era of the white man.”
Followed by the April 1 front page article in the British rag The Independent declaring “USA 2008: The Great Depression” (no April Fool’s here folks).
Now comes reports that the first pen-spinning champion is Ryuki Omura, a 16-year-old Japanese high school student.
What, American’s have grown so damn fat they can not twirl a pen between their fingers?
Omura was among the 16 finalists chosen from 276 video entries to showcase his moves in Tokyo on Sunday in a contest organized by the Pen Spinning Association Japan.
A short video of Omura showing off his talents can be found here. (Warning site is in Japanese. Click on picture to the left)
Have a nice day!
It appears that the rumour-mongering gaming gossip news sites had it all wrong! Acer is not entering the consoles industry, not making a video game console, and is definitely not going to pose a threat to Microsoft, Nintendo and Sony.
Acer explains that it’s senior VP, James Wong was ‘misinterpreted’ and that there is no way Acer is joining the console league. But then what was all that rumour news we reported all about? Hit the jump to find out!
Style: you either have it or you don’t. Well, these timekeepers from Nixon certainly do. Coming out in a range of colors-they just ooze cool, no matter which finish you go for.
The Nixon Murf watches offer Japanese quartz movement with a retro-looking dial showing hours and minutes and has an LED light, so the night need not rob you off the sight of your new wrist adornment.
The band is stainless steel with the usual butterfly clasp to secure it, as a jealous glance of this watch would make anyone want to prise it from your wrist.
We just love the retro simplicity of the collection, though for something different, the wood flavor looks particularly awesome and a deviation from the usual stainless steel facias to be found on the high street.
Prices range from $300-$350. If you’re just as lovestruck, you can purchase them right:
The Three Little Pigs (no, that’s not a band) are in trouble from Becta, a UK Government agency panel that ruled that a digital interpretation of the ancient children’s tale is racist! The statement was described as a ‘slap in the face’ by creative director Anne Curtis. The digital book, which has already won an award was turned down by Becta, which gives away the coveted Bett Award. How can the three innocent little pigs possibly be racist? Hit the jump to find out!
