Screenshots: New Microsoft Operating System

According to earlier reviewers report, the new Microsoft operating system, Windows 7, is much faster and stable. Windows boss Steve Sinofsky has confirmed that this os can be run on a system with just 1GB of RAM.

“The interesting part is that the Win 7 boots faster, (even with the other computer’s BIOS startup out of the way), but apparently takes longer time than the other system to shut down. But yes, these are totally unscientific.”

Homeloo’s Jumbo Gear Clock

It’s always obnoxious having a wall clock you have to stand excessively close to in orderto read it properly. I have one of those, I can never see the placement of the hands from a distance. Yet, I keep it because I like the overall look of the clock. I imagine a lot of people will pick up this clock for the same reasons, the overall look is fascinating. Even if the watch face is overly difficult to read from a distance. If they had varied the color of the hands a little from its background it would have helped a great deal.

However, with them both being one color it does simplify the look of the overall clock. Having fifty exposed gears is plenty to clutter the clock up by themselves without adding a contrasting color to the clock hands. The clock is 16” and yes, all of those gears do move. The larger gear behind the watch hands also spins, it spins clockwise while the rest of the gears spin counterclockwise. The clock will cost you $78.

NASA new Lunar Rover Vehicle concept

NASA has come out with a Small Pressurized Rover Concept which set to be put in service by year 2020. It is a futuristic recreational vehicle mounted on six sets of wheels, 12 wheels altogether. This battery powered rover can speed up to 6 mph.

“The new prototype has a pressurized cab and is fitted out with leather seats and bunks. It would allow a crew of two astronauts to take extended exploration trips for up to two weeks at a time, covering distances of up to 625 miles, says Craig, the NASA program’s manager.”

The vehicle is being tested in a remote corner of Arizona which found to have similar surface conditions to those found on the moon. It has a range of up to 625 miles (1,000 km).

iBangle puts the iPod on the wrist

When it comes to iPods and other MP3 players, not much has changed about them in the past few years. Sure, the memory is getting better all the time, but the design is the same: they clip on the belt and the obligatory wired earplugs.

This iBangle design concept is a little bit daring as the design fits right on your wrist instead of clipping to your belt. Don’t let its loose look fool you, the iBangle won’t easily slip off like other “clip-on” MP3 players. Apparently, that tiny blue button that you see in the illustration somehow fills the blue area with air, so it fits snug, but hopefully not too snug.

As for the earphones, forget about it! The audio sound is transmitted via wireless earbuds. So how do you navigate through tracks, you may ask? Just use the multi-touch track pad.

Now, if only it had a way to play video files. Perhaps a screen could be put on it, and the iBangle could pass for a watch.

Too bad this iBangle remains only a concept from designer Gopinath Prasana. Apple, this could easily be the next big thing for MP3 Players, so please feel free to put one million iBangles into production.

The Safe Bedside Table Helps You Get Medieval On IntrudersStumble This

If you live in fear of people breaking and entering your home and you are made of sterner stuff than the guy who needs to sleep with a shotgun under the bed, then this is definitely for you. The safe bedside table breaks into a club and a shield - ready for you to put some serious hurt on whoever is invading your home.

Just hope that the said intruder does not have a gun, because I am not sure that the puny little wooden shield will stand up to bullets. [Bauldoff via Slippery Brick, Gear Fuse and Boing Boing Gadgets]

Husqvarna Solar-powered Robot Lawnmower

As you can see by the title, this Husqvarna Solar-Powered Robot Lawnmover deserves its own acronym. Of course, HSPRL is really lame, and I suppose the Swedish-based company will have to change a few of the descriptors into synonyms that start with vowels so they could get an actual word.

This HSPRL (just humor me for this article’s sake) was announced at the Green Industry and Equipment Expo 2008. I’m certain that this isn’t the first autonomous robot lawn mower, but I’m guessing this one won’t be the last.

Of course, the real selling point of the HSPRL is the fact that it is solar powered, which doesn’t sound like an industry first. This limits it to daylight usage, but it uses a rechargeable nickel metal hydride battery.

This device weighs in at about 22-pounds, and can work a half-acre lot of grass with a wire that can be slightly buried or staked in place as a safety border. Speaking of safety, the Solar-powered lawnmower has some great safety features. For example, it will automatically shut off its blades when it is lifted, and built-in sensors to work around objects.

Unfortunately, the Husqvarna solar-powered lawnmower does not have a release date or price. I could give you an estimation based on another model the company produces, so we’re looking at about $2,000.
