Samsungs new Airconditioner is one that also kills germs. Samsung’s Vivace Shadow and Neo-Forte (black and white) air conditioners do just that, using their Micro Plasma Ion technology to kill 78 percent of fungus and 58 percent of bacteria within 30 minutes in a closed environment. It might look like a printer, but when’s the last time you hung a printer on the wall?

Available in a variety of colors, these LEGO block-inspired MP3 players feature a microSD card slot and up to 6-hours of continuous playback. That’s not all, the company also offers an iPod dock, “which conceals its speakers under the bumpy block surface.”

“Homade’s LEGO-esque media players cleverly conceal their controls into the raised dots on the surface of each block. The players come in a variety of bold primary colors, and like their snap-together doppelgangers, are made primarily from plastic.”

“Finally, an MP4 player that suits our lifestyle. When we’re out on the street, feeling the hot rays of the sun, hustling to stay afloat, and generally just jamming, the Neux Corp. Ltd. NXMP324 is what we want. Sure, you can’t actually crack this puppy open and gulp it down like a real soda, but you can take a sip of the funky combination of 128MB to 4GB capacities, MP3, WMA, WMV, WAV and ASF file support, built-in USB 2.0 jack, and bonus FM radio. Seriously though, the can comes in red or blue, but there isn’t a color in the rainbow that would convince us to buy this thing.”

“This thing, whatever it is, looks real in the sense that it doesn’t seem to be photoshopped, plus the images in the screens actually look pretty high resolution. That’s is why we’re so puzzled by it.”

“As hay fever season approaches, Tokyo-based weather forecasting company Weathernews, Inc. is deploying a 200-strong army of beady-eyed, ball-shaped robots nationwide to monitor the pollen situation.

The so-called “Pollen Robots,” which weigh 1 kilogram (2.2 lbs) and measure 30 centimeters (1 ft) across, consist of a monitoring unit housed in a spherical styrofoam shell. A pair of eyes glow 5 different colors — white, blue, green, red and purple — to indicate the level of Japanese cedar and cypress pollen in the air.

Two hundred hay fever sufferers around the country have volunteered to hang the Pollen Robots outside their homes, where they will monitor the air and send minute-by-minute reports over the Internet to Weathernews headquarters in Tokyo. The data will be used to update the company’s online pollen map.

Weathernews is forecasting higher-than-normal pollen counts this spring.”

Since the multi-use controller Monome first came out a few years back, it’s slowly gained a cult following thanks to its design.
If you’re unfamiliar with the device, the Monome is an interactive and adaptable MIDI interface that takes advantage of open-source software to manipulate any number of musical parameters.

With a grid-based design, the programmable buttons function as a drum machine, looper, slider or pretty much anything else you’d want to configure. In fact, the Monome’s multi-touch interface was around long before the iPhone and some versions even have a built-in accelerometer, adding a whole new dimension to music-making capabilities.

For either Strat-lovers who dabble with electronics or strictly laptop rockers, it’s become an asset in the digital music world. Because it requires a bit of athleticism on the part of the musician, it livens up otherwise uneventful electronic performances where artists just press play.
