The Very First Lighter Phone SB6309

Although I fully admit to chuckling quite a bit after first seeing this cellphone with a built-in cigarette lighter, I can see some practicality with it. After all, I can’t tell you how many times I’ve heard of my smoking friends losing their lighter. I’ve been asked numerous times if I happen to have a lighter on me, despite that they’re fully aware I don’t smoke. Having a lighter built into your cellphone would come in incredibly handy. After all, your phone is almost always somewhere within reach.....

Tie with built-in bottle opener

Tie with built-in bottle opener

If you have to wear a tie on a regular basis, it might as well be awesome. In that spirit, Argentina’s “Sinapsis” studio designed this “After Office Tie” for a recent DesignBoom.com competition. It’s a simple concept that makes a lot of sense: a tie with a bottle opener built into the bottom of it.


The tie will be exhibited at London’s Institute of Contemporary Arts from September 30th to October 4th. Whether it’ll become an actual product someday is another story. I could see people buying them, though. Or you could probably make your own if you’re ambitious.

Ceramic Speakers Claim Better Sound

Ceramic Speakers Claim Better Sound

This beautiful pair of ceramic speakers, designed by Joey Roth, “are designed to leave the sound untouched, warm, dry, and detailed.” The handcrafted 4″ speakers are made of porcelain and cork, which the product’s page calls “acoustically dead.” I think that’s a good thing.


gSelect sells the porcelain speaker set for $500 (USD); unfortunately it’s out of stock as of this writing. You may want to head on to its product page anyway so you can leave your email address and be notified when the product is available again.

Panasonic's LED lightbulb shines for a whopping 19 years

How often do you change lightbulbs? Every few months, maybe? Well, when Panasonic's new LED bulbs hit shelves, change that time frame from months to decades.
Yes, these insanely efficient bulbs keep shining and shining, providing the brightness of a traditional 60-watt bulb. Of course, they won't be cheap, with pricing set at about $40 a bulb in Japan when they hit stores in October. But seeing as they cost a mere $2 to run per year in energy costs and last 19 years, that seems like a good deal in the long run.

1.Freezing partitions: to freeze the designated partition of hard disc. (All the operations are temporary; when the computer is shut off; all the data will got recovered) (It means you can still have normal operation just that when you shut down your PC, it will recover the the previous status unless you have the dongle plugged and change the settings) 2.Open directories: the directories in frozen partitions (e.g. my document and desktop) are frequently used, so they can be set as “opened directories” so that it STILL can be rewritten and saved and it will not influence your normal operation habit.

Pearly Dreams Toothpaste Claims To Put You To Sleep

Pearly Dreams toothpaste was made to help you sleep. In other words, brush your teeth with this stuff and say goodnight. You’ll be lucky to make it to your bed.

Containing a cocktail of Melatonin, Balm Mint, Valerian and Passionflower and endorsed by Aerosmith’s Brad Whitford (wtf?), Pearly Dreams promises a long night of unconsciousness. Or you can just drink until you pass out like usual. I wouldn’t trust having this in my bathroom. Knowing my luck, I’d use it right before a date or something and wind up half-alive at dinner instead of potentially getting laid.

Bing Tweets: Twitter and Bing Search Mashup

Bing Tweets: Twitter and Bing Search Mashup

Microsoft announced a new portal that combines Bing search and Twitter. The new site is named BingTweets and it basically brings together classic web search from Bing, with real-time search elements from Twitter.


This service was built by both Microsoft, Twitter and Federated Media. It does not seem like Twitter is doing anything more than just providing access to their public API to Microsoft and Federated Media. By just visiting BingTweets, the results will dynamically show a popular search query, but you can override that query with whatever you like. The topics on the home page in the “trending topics” change every 30 to 60 minutes.

If this service becomes something popular and Microsoft deems it as useful, they may integrate this directly into the default Bing experience.

reCAPTCHA captured by Google

Posted by Wonderful-Tricks

reCAPTCHA captured by Google

Evidently, Google’s efforts to create a new CAPTCHA system that requires people to rotate images until they’re upright, aren’t moving as quickly as the company would like. Because this morning, the search giant said it had acquired reCAPTCHA, developer of the Web’s preeminent CAPTCHA technology. Terms of the deal were not disclosed.


CAPTCHA, for those of you just joining us, stands for Completely Automated Public Turing test to tell Computers and Humans Apart. Essentially, it’s a challenge-response test used to distinguish between humans and spam-spewing robots. What’s interesting about reCAPTCHA’s implementation is that it’s used for digitizing books.

“Since computers have trouble reading squiggly words like these, CAPTCHAs are designed to allow humans in but prevent malicious programs from scalping tickets or obtain millions of email accounts for spamming,” Google explains in a post to the company blog. “But there’s a twist–the words in many of the CAPTCHAs provided by reCAPTCHA come from scanned archival newspapers and old books. Computers find it hard to recognize these words because the ink and paper have degraded over time, but by typing them in as a CAPTCHA, crowds teach computers to read the scanned text.”

An ingenious idea, crowdsourcing book transcriptions in this way. An effective one too: reCAPTCHA boasts 99.5 percent accuracy at the word level.

Little wonder, then, that Google (GOOG) has acquired it. The company can clearly put reCaptcha’s technology to good use, not just as a security measure, but as a means of improving its own massive book-scanning project.

Facebook hits 300 million users, says it's cash-flow positive

Facebook has two very big pieces of news that they announced today at TechCrunch50. The first: They have crossed 300 million users worldwide now, extending their lead as the biggest social network. The second: They are now cash flow positive. Yes, from this point forward, Facebook is making money.


300 million is the obvious big news. But really, it was always just a matter of time before Facebook was going to hit the milestone. They hit 250 million back in July. Really, the much bigger news is the second item.

Back in April, we noted that while the company has been EBITDA profitable for several quarters in a row, they weren’t expecting to go cash flow positive on an operating basis until 2010. Back in 2008, there was roughly a $200 million gap between Facebook being cash flow positive and their EBITDA numbers. So why was it going to take another 2 years to close that gap? It’s likely because Facebook has been spending a lot of money over the past couple years on things like servers, but accounting rules allowed them to spread those costs over time. But the amount of money they’re pulling in has either eclipsed those costs earlier than expected or it isn’t spending as much. (Equipment spending for big storage servers tend to be lumpy).

Undoubtedly, projects like Haystack, which aim to cut the costs of sharing photo storage on Facebook have helped quite a bit. Aside from being the biggest social network, Facebook is also the largest photo-sharing site as well.
