Cat USB hub

This is a little cat who runs the data delivery service for you !A China made USB hub, it has 4 hubs, 3 hubs on top of the body and 1 in front of its face. Because of the angle of this photo, the cat seems to be under depression...

Cat freaks may love it

Maybe, if the cat holds a fork and a spoon, it wont look like under depression anymore.. : )

Cute phone

Are you getting bored with the ordinary design of the mobile phone available in the markets? Nokia,it is purely classic. SE, they always look the same. PDA phone, just another fat-boy phone with some "advance" function.

If "cute" is your preference, you may love this. It is designed by Joseph Liang from Taiwan who has got few awards from Motorola company.

A concept phone designed for Motorola. I don't think it is available or being manufactured.

Here comes the protector/cover for the phone, isn't it weird?

Personally, I don't prefer this design. Maybe "fat-boy" is my preference

Designer : Joseph Liang

The very special person on stage

This was my long-waited day, he has finally arrived. I was so excited when I firstly saw the advertisement from newspaper informing us that this very special person is visiting us, in Malaysia. I have waited for a month just to witness his arrival. Quickly after my class, I rushed to Queensbay mall. Very lucky, it was the last session he will be on the stage.

Who is the special person?

There were lots of people over there, grabbing their DSLR and compact digital. I was a bit too late to get in the perfect position for capturing the special one. Struggling to snap some pictures.


This little boy was curiously starring at me. "Who is that weird Koko?"





Still, who is the special one? Let's see...





















ASIMO !


Woohoo ! I was waiting him to arrive for about a month ! He is totally automated, an intelligent robot. He greeted us with his cute cartoon-liked voice in English and Bahasa Malaysia.


Asimo is showing off his running ability. Believe or not? They spent over 20 years just to perfect the balance of walking and running. There are still rooms for improvement.



He paints it ! He didn't actually paint it, just showing the ability of grabbing the brush and waiving on the paper.

He asked the M.C : "Could you pass the brush for me?"


Now, he can dance ! It was "Raya Sayang" - Malaysian classic. People were follow his dance steps. He can stand on only one leg.



Haha..The most common movement I think.


There will be a team of Asimos running on the field during EPL or world cup, maybe?



He is meant to serve you. Are you thirsty?



He was turning his body, walking towards to the people



That's brilliant !


They allowed few lucky families to snap some pictures with Asimo.


Asimo bye bye ! He loves to say "thank you, terima kasih"


Asimo keychain, shirts and dolls were available during the roadshow.



Asimo in detail
Asimo - A humanoid robot invented by Honda. It started with 2 legs walking machine EO 1986 until Asimo 2000-current.

Asimo was announced in year 2000. He is now still under development.

I am happy to see the technology nowadays is getting more advance. It reminds me of the movie "i-robot". Do you still remember the story? In the story, robots were built to serve human. Years after R&D, they can even make decision according the THREE LAWS.

THE THREE LAWS OF ROBOTICS:

1. A robot may not injure a human being or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm.
2. A robot must obey orders given it by human beings, except where such orders would conflict with the First Law.
3. A robot must protect its own existence as long as such protection does not conflict with the First or Second Law.
   
   

Ended up, the robots tried to dominate the world. Because the robots know that human will be extincted if the human are repeating what they are doing again.(Maybe...nuclear effect, war or what? I can't totally remember about the storyline). Robots started to control human with their overwhelming abilities. Human started to fight against robots which were initially designed for serving the human...

After watching the roadshow, it really made me feel like watching a movie, the revolution of technology and science. Will it happen in the real world, like the movie, or any other novel?

A potential incident in the future?

When scientists in some bunker in the year 2525 are trying to determine when humanity handed over the keys to the robot overlords, December 11, 2007, may be a good date, for on this day, Honda announced it had given its ASIMO servant robots three key abilities. Here we break them down, and provide a "Future Shock" analysis of each:

• Autonomous battery charging - Honda developed a Borg-like charging bay for ASIMO. When the robot's battery level drops to a certain point, it seeks out the closest bay.
Future Shock: Seeking a power source is the first step towards domination, Coppertop.

• Avoiding oncoming people - ASIMO sees an oncoming person through its eye camera, judges its inertia, guesses its speed and path, then either changes course to steer clear, or simply takes a step back.
Future Shock: If they're taught subservience, they start questioning their predestined role. Also, doesn't this sound a lot like targeting?

• Working together - This involves constant sharing of relevant data between networked ASIMOs, and a survey of which robot is closest to the most pressing task, and what his battery life status is. Among them, they "decide" which one is best suited to go in and do the job.
Future Shock: If I have to explain to you why robots working together could be a bad thing, well, you're probably already dead.

Asimo Review

It is creepy sometime, yet, still eager to see improvements in the latest tech.

Be the man, rescue the fire !

What if....

You come back from work as usual, finishing your dinner with your lovely partner. Before ending the exhausting day, you want to have some fun with him/her. So, you start begging your partner and finally he/she responds ! You think you may have fun with him/her...

Suddenly !

People shout : "Fire fire...help ! my house on fire !"

What should you do?

1.) Continue having fun

2.) Call the fire department

3.) Be the hero !

If you choose...

1.) Continue having fund

Today headline - "Couple was burned to death, unwillingly to evacuate while having fun"

2.) Call the fire department

You know... The performance of fire department in Malaysia really is bad. By the time it arrives, part of your house must have destroyed ! It used to delay and you better run for your live when waiting for arriving.

3.)Be the hero !

Want to prove yourself and save the world? That's easy ! You need 2 things...

Some extra courage?

And...a fire extinguisher ?

Hak ! Not this one...

Here is it !

Tang tang !

"The Shooter fire extinguisher"

Woohoo..that's cool right?

You can control the distance, according to the illustration/

This is pretty cool !

This is a brilliant idea ! People can extinguish the fire and keep some distance at the same time for safety purpose

The rubber bullets contain CO2 that can extinguish fire. There will be no fire if there is lacking of oxygen.

The gun contains 8CO2 bullets and can be recharged ? Oh...wonder how...

Finally, firemen arrives and saves their lives...The gun alone is not enough..lol - -

BamGoo the BamBoo car !

Ehem...I love things that are creative,innovative and also environment friendly and I found another thing to share with you guys while surfing the Internet.

BamGoo car !

Just about 60kg!

Cool right? This BamGoo car is made by bamboo. The weight is only 60kg! Omg...even lighter than me ! Hahah...Don't let me see one of these car parking beside the road. Surely I take it back with help of my friends.

Charge it !

This electrical car is displayed in Kyoto city, Japan on Nov. 2, 2008. It can run about 50km on a full charge. I am not sure about the maximum speed.

Enjoy the movie!

I may get one if it is cheap enough. Maybe driving around my house but make sure you buy a good lock to avoid your car being moved away...It's just too light !

what do you think about it?shout it out !

Save the blinds !

Imagine one day, sky is never be seen again. You don't like dark, but it is always filling your world with darkness. Visibility is no longer available, it is history...

How can those people live without light?! That is totally horrible terrible ~ I have sympathy for those are blind. Don't worry, technology saves your another day! VoiceStick has invented a very useful product for blinds !


She is reading a book ! As you see, she is reading a book by using the VoiceStick.


The shape is just like another mp3 player or simply a recorder


Translating to braille is just too costly and time consuming. The device reads out the text by just scanning through the texts


Braille is on top of every button, otherwise the blind won't know what are they clicking

They really aware of every single need of the blind

Please kindly visit the website if anyone of your friends needs VoiceStick for reading

Warning : Don't strain your eyes too much on computer (oppss..)! I supposed to sleep now or at least, doing math ! Already accumulated tonnes of works to complete...Keep on procratinating, I should go and finish all my tasks.Soon, probably! Good night : )
