Sony Ericsson Kurara accidentally announced early, now known as “Vivaz”
Posted on January 20, 2010 | No CommentsDon’t you just hate it when some big dumb press release company spills the beans on your top secret product long before you intended? Wait, you’ve never experienced that? Well, neither have we. We were just trying to, you know, connect with our readers or something. Sony Ericsson, on the other hand, has felt that burn. [...] -
Nail Art Machine: Manicure “vending” machine
Posted on December 15, 2009 | No Comments
As everybody knows, Japan is the land of vending machines. Dozens and dozens of these things are standing right in front of my house in Tokyo, offering everything from drinks, to cup noodles over to fresh rice 24 hours a day. But I've never seen or heard of the Nail Art Machine [JP], a machine that (obviously) takes care of your nails - to some extent.

Swedish watchmakers create a Void
Posted on November 23, 2009 | No Comments
Not sure why you'd name your watch after something that doesn't exist but the Swedes love them some existentialism. Void Watches V02 have two retrograde hands, one that shows the hours on one side and minutes on the other. It comes in four colors and uses a Japanese movement.

Thanko’s peeing USB wee man
Posted on September 1, 2009 | No Comments
It's Thanko time again. Today the Tokyo-based crap gadget company released another of their weird inventions, the Shoubenkozou [JP], a cupid-like mini figure that for some reason is able to "pee". And needless to say, the thing can be connected to your computer's USB port.

The Nikon S1000PJ projector camera leaks out along with three other Coolpix models
Posted on August 3, 2009 | No CommentsWe always knew that Nikon was a leaking ship, adrift in the digital camera sea, but this latest leak proves it. Why bother with embargos and NDAs when most of the info leaks out early anyway. First, it was the D5000, then the D300s and now all these Coolpix cameras that aren’t official yet. This [...] -
Pellermodel: Bandai lets you build a 3D figure of yourself
Posted on June 29, 2009 | No Comments
Even though I live in Japan, I admit I don't know anything about Origami and other techniques to build objects out of paper. Today is also the first time I heard of the Pellermodel concept, the art of creating "true 3D paper objects".
Now Bandai is planning to sell "Pellermodel" (brand name) kits, which make it possible for users to build a small, humanoid-like 3D object with one's own face on it (or that of anyone you like). All that users need to do is to upload a face picture, access Bandai's dedicated Pellermodel website [JP], print and attach the picture on the model's head. Your "3D" figure can then be pressed out in seconds.

Toshiba to finally release netbook in the US
Posted on June 1, 2009 | No Comments
While Toshiba's had netbooks out in Japan for a while (and Europe, recently) the company's been a wallflower here in the US, patiently watching as netbooks have evolved over the past year or so and taking notes in a leather-bound pad marked "Netbooks: Pros and Cons" that it carries around in its back pocket. Sure, it looks dumb when Toshiba takes out the pad in a restaurant to write down a new witty quote it's never heard before, but it's also helped in readying a US version of the NB200-series netbook.
