Sometimes, watches look really interesting. So many of the designs just make you want to grab it then and there. This is a conceptual watch that may give you mixed thoughts. It is a pretty funky looking one and has a measuring-tape look-alike thing as its dial. Termed as the Ora watch, this one tells time on a series of three crisscrossed analog time strips. The top one gives time in minutes, overlapping a smaller band with the hours, and a narrow third belt with the current day of the week. The mechanism seems very complicated and quite mind baffling. It is designed by Alexandros Stasinopoulos.

We love building huge things as long as they look good, are useful and totally harmless. Now if that were the case, what made the Tetsujin such a lovable freak. Well, it’s a robot that’s taking everyone by storm. Firstly, because of it’s humungous size and secondly because it has some really annoying, bright colors in patches. I mean, if you make something with so much energy, time and money spent, why not make it bold? It’s got a total ‘Power Rangers’ like pose to start off with.The Tetsujin life-sized robot will soon make its mark among young minds of Japanese youngsters. Well, let’s hope he’s earth-quake aware, else his frantic movements will surely ‘bring down the house’, literally

Apple’s iPad was coming a long way but hey, here’s something that’s giving the fans-of-the-forbidden-geek-fruit new hope. Well, we did finally not waste our time by rumoring around with the size and announcement of the tablet, though the latter came even earlier than we projected. To be more specific, the ‘real’ iPad will sport a 10.7 inch touch screen display and will run on the iPhone OS! There’s also word that it will have both, 3G and non-3G versions. That’s surely cool. We can expect the iPad announcement by January 19th 2010. The release date is most likely to be in the middle of the year. So long, so bad.

The Bluetooth technology is an excellent technology that has been made because it has many uses you might now even think of. For example, the BlueWatchDog is a personal anti-theft device and this device is Bluetooth enabled. This device will alert you on your cell phone when someone is trying to steal your stuff like you wallet and it goes beyond your specific radius. The alarm will sound in an ear piercing shriek that hopefully will make the thief scared and drop the item he has taken but just cross your fingers it is your wallet and not an expensive device. It will cost you GBP 43.47 (US$ 70).

For those of you that think ninjas are the ultimate warriors, here’s a USB drive to show off your point of view. Although this drive isn’t exactly something you should probably slip past airport security, it would be a cool drive to keep at home. You can about guarantee that you’ll end up paying a lot more just to get your ninja themed USB drive, but I could see it being worth it for a few.

It’s not for everyone, but even for those that can’t afford it. You have to admit if you had the cash, you’d probably consider buying it. The drive will only hold a whopping 2GB of your data on it, which really isn’t much. Especially when you consider how much cash you’ll end up forking out for this. It’s definitely a novelty drive and an expensive one at that. You’ll end up paying ¥ 11,500.00 or about $126 from Geek Stuff 4U.

This musical ottoman is definitely designed for those with money to burn. Something as pretty as this with incorporated technology never goes for cheap. However, for those that can afford furniture like this, it means you don’t have to have speakers lying out that are quite obviously speakers. With this it makes things a lot more subtle. Of course it will be quite a bit more obvious when your iPod is plugged into it and sitting on top of the ottoman.

This Music Chocolate Ottoman was designed by Michi Jjung, which of course means it is just a design. Which is bad news for those that were more than willing to fork out the extra cash for this upholstered ottoman. However, sometimes you can contact the designer to find out if you can get your hands on one, despite that these aren’t posted online for sale. If you can manage to get one, you’ll always have a speaker nearby when you’re lounging to plug your MP3 player into.
