Si eres espía y/o te gusta gastar dinero en cosas absurdas e inútiles, estás de suerte. Odissey ha lanzado su última maleta para portátiles, de aspecto ‘bunker’. La maleta es resistente al agua, al polvo y a los golpes. El interior de espuma puede ser amoldado para cualquier aparato o gadget, así que supongo que también se puede utilizar para llevar un sólo iPhone dentro. Seguro que hasta el chinito de Ocean’s Twelve hubiera preferido ir en esta maleta a ir en aquella bolsa deportiva maloliente.

Respecto al precio, no tengo ni idea, aunque la verdad, no lo he pensado porque me parece un poco inútil. A menos, claro está, que quieras llevar sustancias ilegales. Más detalles en Odissey.

Si le quieres añadir un toque “geek” o tecnológico a tu próxima postal, siempre puedes recurrir al nuevo diseño de postal que han ideado en Dag-designlab. Algo inútil, en mi opinión, pero intrigante. La postal incorpora un reloj digital que mide el tiempo que tardó en recibirse. No deja de ser un diseño interesante que seguro que se vendería de mil en mil.

Otro pequeño detalle: con la paranoia que hay desde hace unos años, ¿no podría pensar el cartero que es un artefacto poco amable? En el mejor de los casos, la postal lo único que le provocará al cartero es estrés adicional. No sería de extrañar que se empezaran a recibir postales con el reloj digital aplastado.

The new rumour on the net is that Steve Jobs is going to unveil the new iPhone (obviously a mix of iTunes and… phone) very soon. Some say that [tag]iPhone[/tag] is not ready to be revealed, some say it will be unveiled this week… but I don’t buy it. According to a recent post in O’Grady’s PowerPage, iPhone will not be revealed in the electronics expo at San Francisco, because Apple has not yet recieved U.S. regulatory approval for the phone.

[tag]Second Life[/tag], a [tag]MMORPG[/tag] (Massive Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game) from Linden Research Ltd., has become one of the most famous virtual worlds in the internet, with more than 2 million residents.

Companies, important companies, such as Cisco Systems and [tag]IBM[/tag], have built their own virtual offices in this world, creating a virtual environment to attract customers and keep employees happy.

IBM has recently bought 10 islands from the virtual world, mainly for marketing and training purposes, that is, for employees. According to the company, they expect to lower the travelling costs of employees by organizing virtual meetings in Second Life instead of the physical ones.

… It may be an excellent communication system for employees, and clients, and everything… but how do you yell at your boss in a [tag]virtual[/tag] enviroment?

[tag]Daniela Cicarelli[/tag]’s video, in which she appears having sexual intercourse with her boyfriend in the beach, has been posted in [tag]YouTube[/tag] for a couple of weeks and was the most viewed in [tag]Brazil[/tag].

I just read in Gizmodo the article of the [tag]Jura-Capresso[/tag] [tag]coffee[/tag] cup warmer, a $1000 machine that mantains warm up to 16 coffee cups and 24 espresso cups.

1000 bucks. I mean… if you don’t have the money, for sure that you won’t ask for loans to buy it… and if you do have the money… why to spend 10 bills of 100 bucks in a coffee warmer?

Good question. Here I post for you some reasons why you should buy this machine:

1. It’s expensive, and if the money rains in your house, you can afford it.
2. It’s expensive, and if you don’t have the money, you can always sell your kidneys, so… you can afford it.
3. Just for fun.
4. You can put your neighbour’s cat in it, and wait ’til it is ready to eat.
5. You can use it to store your gallery of traffic tickets.
6. Putting your broken iPod in it can be as frustrating as sick.
7. Buying it for your grandma, so her poker friends always have their cups warm at her parties.
8. You can buy it and then, dump it from a third floor… just to see what happens.
9. You are rich, bored, and enjoy buying stupid things.
10. Afterwards, you can sell it in eBay for 2000 bucks, and I am sure you will sell it.
11. Did I say it’s expensive?

So, are you convinced…? Hello?

Oh, they ran away again.
