Poseidon Plans World’s First Sea Floor Resort Complex
Posted by Hector Martinez Categories: Misc. Tech,
Set to be located on the actual sea floor, this stunning facility will offer suites with transparent acrylic windows allowing you to view aquatic life from the comfort of your own room. Fully pressurized for atmospheric comfort, the resort will also feature a 5-star rotating restaurant, a tennis court, and…get this: a swimming pool. Each suite will also have its own underwater lights controllable from an inside switch and an external fish feeder. This way guests will be able to push a button and feed the fish outside. The Bahamas location is set to open late 2006 at the earliest. Suites will run you $1500 a night.

I don’t pretend to know much about cars, even though I do own one. That’s why I find articles that help explain their complexities so invaluable. Case in point is How Stuff Work’s overview of the Lotus Elise, which has been available in Europe for some time, but is about to enter the US market with its 2005 model. It comes with a sticker price of $40,000…which is actually a lot cheaper than most supercar prices. If you still don’t find yourself drooling at some of the pictures though, then maybe cars aren’t for you.

Little Shop of Horrors fans rejoice! Now you can have your very own eating plant that actually burps after snapping down on those pesky flies. This little curiosity measures about 8 inches and operates on three AAA batteries. A non-toxic bait (read: not dog dung) based at the bottom of the jaws lures the insect inside. As the insect crawls into the mouth of the trap, two sensors detect the insect causing the mouth to shut, swatting the insect dead. I’m wondering if it works on cockroaches too - and also, how you are supposed to dispose of the bugs?

The UK’s gadget shop Boystuff has announced a line of geek friendly binary watch faces, so only the geeks among us will know what time it is. Unfortunately, this look has been done long ago, one only needs to visit Tokyoflash.com to see not only binary watches, but all sorts of unusual LED faces and graph faces. It’s hard to choose just one. I personally favor the Barcode SS but then again, I’m more old school. Perhaps you want a newer more pimp flashed LED movement watch that has running light shows. Just take a look through their selection and choose the watch that meets your idea of time.

iPod Digital Camera Connector Image
Posted by Oscar M. Cantu Categories: Cameras, Portable Audio / Video,
Ever wanted to be able to connect your iPod photo to your digital camera and transfer some images to free up some space on your card? The time is nearing when that will be a reality. Apple Japan held a press briefing where they revealed some iPod accessories along with what you see above – a digital camera attachment. The attachment hooks up to the dock connector of your iPod and has a female USB port where you plug in your digital camera to transfer the images. At a minimum of 30GB for your digital camera, this puts my puny 512MB card to shame.

XM has announced a price increase for their satellite radio service effective April 2, 2005. The increase will raise the now current rate for their basic service of $9.95, to $12.95 per month. They are also going to include two premium services free of charge. Those two premium services are XM’s online radio access, and the show “High Voltage”. These two services are currently offered at a price of $3.95 and $1.95 respectively. What seems to be a good deal deserves a second look. Sirius, XM’s competitor, offers online satellite radio free of charge on its basic plan of $12.95 and states it will allow subscribers to listen to Howard Stern free of charge when his program launches next year. If you are a current subscriber, you may lock in the rate of $9.95 for the next 5 years. Now that these two services will be the same price, the decision on what service to purchase will be based on what truly matters – hardware price and quality. Expect to see hardware price cuts in the coming months.
