The fingerprint security module is encountered these days in laptops, mobile phones and now in mice too, like in the USB Fingerprint Security Optical Mousehere, which has a 3-button scroll wheel with built-in fingerprint reader.
It requires you to install the special software for it to function but you can use this mouse as a protection layer for website log-ins, decryption tool for files and drives, by setting up to ten fingerprint samples from different users.
The mouse model has a sensor sensitivity of 800 dpi, finger sensor of 508 dpi, a field size of 192 x 16 pixels, 256 grey levels, 1 in 1,000 false rejection rate, 1 in 1,000 false acceptance rate, and a 256 bit encryption algorithm.
It uses a USB 5 VDC power source and measures 105 x 33 x 47 mm.
You can get it at a price of $37.50 here.

The Oberon watch from TokioFlash is the latest addition to the S-Mode line and the reason for I am writing about it is its similarity with my favorite OLED Watch concept.
Oberon is not using an Organic LED display but just a LED and is not a concept watch but a real one available at a price of $149 sporting a dark background, stainless steel body and while LED lights showing the hour, time and date.
To read it you have to check the outer rings for the hour, the second ring for single minutes and the inner ring for minutes in groups of ten.
These LEDs are positioned same as the hands on a standard watch to be easy to read it, and to see what the date is you have to push two times on the button.
Oberon is also water resistant at 5 ATM and comes with English and Japanese instructions.

Well now, nice 1KW speakers you got there. Noisy stuff, no doubt. But did you know that you don’t really need speakers as tall as you to actually hear some quality sounds? That’s right, you could use plasma arcs, or even better, a plant in your house!
OK, some of you tech geeks may already know that plasma speakers have been around since the 1950s, but that doesn't mean they are the stuff of the past. On the contrary, they still louk astounding, at least when you get to see the plasma arc in all its glory. Like a standard speaker, plasma speakers work by creating compression waves in the air. However, unlike a standard speaker that uses magnets and paper/plastic/ titanium foils and all those exotic materials to drive these compressions, plasma speakers are using the plasmatic energy arc.
Here are some interesting facts. Using a plasma arc setup, the pitch is altered by the constantly shifting intensity of the arc and a typical setup can easily deal with a frequency response of 200Hz to 12KHz, while the speaker runs at 50W.
If this doesn’t really impress you, check out the plant speaker. Hey, my plant can sing! Unfortunately, this procedure kills the plant in quite a short time.

Nothing to impress the ladies with? No, I’m not thinking of a car and I’m not hinting at a chopper either, you don’t really want to waste money on those. OK, here’s the deal. You get one of these cool looking bicycles and then let me know how you’re doing with them ladies for a change. ‘Ight?
The futuristic bicycle is designed by Rudi Moosmeier and it’s called the “Tong City Bike.” No need to pay attention to those night losers who drive on the streets wrecking havoc on you poor eco-friendly dudes with bicycles. The designer’s concerns for your safety have materialized in this stylish bike design that is not only low maintenance, but also safe and secure. When talking about low maintenance, the thing that strikes you most is the all-in-one housing for the brake system, drivetrain, shock absorbers and gears. Safety first! That’s why you get the integrated light tubes that can be customized to any color you desire, making you easier to spot in the heat of the night. It’s not a bank, but you do get some security features like a mini lockable safe, for storing your gadget gear. Yo ladies, how you like me now? Wait on it, it's only a prototype.
