From the description, Beats by Dr. Dre seem to be one of the best headphones models you can find on the market, optimized to render music at the highest fidelity possible, like only professional headphones from studios are capable of. They are designed by the famous artist and producer Dr. Dre, Interscope Geffen A&M Chairman Jimmy Iovine, and Monster, the world's leading developer of connectivity solutions for high performance audio, video, car audio, computer, console and computer gaming, professional audio and sound reinforcement.

"Artists and producers work hard in the studio perfecting their sound, but people can't really hear it with normal headphones,” says Dr. Dre. “Most headphones can't handle the bass, the detail, the dynamics. Bottom line: the music doesn't move you. With Beats, people are going to hear what the artists hear and listen to the music the way they should - the way I do."

According to the press release, Beats by Dr. Dre provide the best sound clarity, deep bass and high power, based on the idea of creating a new type of headphones, capable to reproduce the full spectrum of sound that musical artists and producers hear in professional recording studios. The three specialists in sound accomplished this by using advanced materials, sophisticated construction, extra large drivers, and a powerful digital amplifier. The powered ambient noise-isolation contributes at creating the quietness of an isolated recording studio.



If you have an iPhone 3G, Blackberry or other high-end music-enabled device, you can connect the Monster’s iSoniTalk headphone cable with integrated high grade microphone and answer button.
These high definition headphones will be available exclusively at Apple, Best Buy and beatsbydre.com, the official website of the model, starting July 25, at a price of $349.95.

"Dre and I have been developing these headphones for a while and in Monster we found a partner that could work with us to crystallize his vision and develop them to the quality level he expects," said Jimmy Iovine, Chairman of Interscope Geffen A&M Records. "Beats By Dr. Dre is yet another example of Interscope's commitment to working together with its artists in developing new avenues to experience music."

According to Kevin Lee, VP of Product and Marketing for Monster, it took 3 years of hard word to develop these headphones, considered to be the best headphones ever built. They are equipped with a wide adjustable headband, soft plush hinged ear cups and the high-quality Monster cable.
In addition to its highest quality, Beats by Dr. Dre sports a stylish exterior design and come with a comfortable hip carrying case accessory.

The portable eBook reader from Booken is characterized by an intuitive interface with native multi format support, high-resolution E Ink screen and long battery life to allow you browse and read large content amounts, from dictionaries to best selling books.

E Ink gadgets use an electronic paper display with high contrast, very low power consumption and a lighter-weight thin shape. The ink carries a charge and can be updated electronically. It consists of millions of tiny micro capsules having positively charged white particles and negatively charged black particles suspended in a clear fluid. As the negative electric field is applied, white particles start moving to the top of the micro capsule, becoming visible to the user.

Cybook GEN3 is the most improved version of this portable eBook reader model, featuring the E Ink-based display offering high viewability in any light conditions, from any angle, without showing flicker effects. As it looks like a normal paper, you can’t use it in dark environments, but it has a resolution of 166 dpi, 600 x 800 pixel, black and white display, 6 inches in diagonal, 4 grey levels, portrait or landscape modes, and the Vizplex technology, the fastest and brightest electronic paper display from the E Ink Corporation, providing 80% improved refresh rate and 25% more brightness.
As it was designed with a 1-mm thick screen and integrating a very small Lithium Polymer battery, the new Cybook portable eBook reader measures just 188 x 118 x 8.5 mm at a weight of 174 grams. The E Ink technology doesn’t require power to maintain an image so while you read a page it doesn’t consume power, this leading to an increased battery life for up to 8,000 screen refreshes.



You can store your books either in the internal memory of the Cybook or in an extra optional memory card. The books can be stored either on its internal 512MB space or on a memory card with which you can add up to 2GB, meaning 10,000 standard books in Mobipocket, HTML or Text format.
The 1000 mAh Li-Pol battery charges via the Cybook USB connector in 3 hours, and to maintain it you could switch between the following modes: Sleep mode, which increased the battery life up to one week; Off mode; and the Normal mode with the processor running at full speed and with the MP3 playing. The latter lasts up to 3 hours.

Cybook GEN3’s interface is described as highly responsive, accessible via buttons, so you can turn page forward/backward, jump to a specific page, display position in the book, increase font size and reflow text automatically, modify font family and reflow text, display/hide header information, activate hyperlink within text or image, lookup word definition or translation from loaded dictionaries, add bookmark to pages, switch layout to landscape mode, zoom pages, modify number of items displayed per page, filter by document type, sort documents, start/stop slideshow between images or eBooks, deactivate/activate flashing between screen, activate/deactivate auto shut-off, playback MP3s, and generate custom newspaper with RSS feeds and synchronize it via USB with the Cybook.
Also, you have access to the free Mobipocket Desktop Reader software with tones of books available for download on the Cybook.
You can even read several books at the same time.



The Cybook GEN3 eReader is available at Booken online store at a price of $350.

After watching the following demonstration video i realized that i don’t like its black&white interface and the flash-like light between changing pages, but this is how far the electronic paper technology was developed by now.

Here’s one more item inspired by the Star Trek franchise. This time it’s a futuristic timepiece designed by Arny Kapshitzer, a big fan of Star Trek, himself. His latest creation, known as the HMS Automatic Warp Watch, features some interesting similarities with the strship Enterprise.

Now, don’t expect this thing to teleport you to some other worlds. Anyhow, most of the body and mechanisms are made out of carbon fiber, and the perfluorinated, hypoallergenic rubber wristband is impervious to "all acids," according to the designer. Acids? Wait; is this going to become standard gear for the future marines pitted against those swarms of Aliens?

Gizmodo informs that the designer factored in the natural asymmetry of the human arm, and made the crown side of the watch thicker so it would fit almost perfectly. The new breed of rubber that makes up the band is also used to seal the watch, and Kapshitzer guarantees it’ll last for 50 years.

OK, it looks cool and all that, but does it actually tell the time? Located eccentrically towards the right of the dial, a cut-away metal piece reveals the jumping hours and minutes on two superimposed discs. The seconds are displayed in the 3 o'clock area on a cylinder linked directly to the crown. The 9 o'clock area of the dial forms the tail of the “spaceship.”

Alright, Data, set course for Earth 2, warp 9!
