Sam Kidd's thoughts on business

Just going though all the news before I head to work this Sunday when I came across this little gadet. It's A viruse killer mouse. Now it's not the Computer Viruses it kills, It's the human snotty ones it kills.  If I think of some of the people we have into AREA51  it sounds like a great idea to have these mice in the shop. The Germ Free Wireless Laser Mouse from Iogear has a special coating that its maker says will neutralize 99 percent of the microbes on its surface.

The outer shell of This viruse killing mouse is coated with tiny particles of titanium oxide and silver, and it uses a chemical reaction to battle bacteria and viruses. The titanium oxide attracts oxygen and water molecules, and when those are combined with light and the titanium oxide’s electrons, they give off free oxygen ion bases.(did you get that?? ) Iogear says these ions reduce or eliminate germs — and also create more carbon, oxygen and water particles to start the process all over again, making the mouse self-cleaning. Guess I will just have to take their word as I sucked at chemistry in school.

More information is available at www.iogear.com.

Just sat down for 2 seconds to look at  a video on YouTube and 2 hours later still watching stuff. Always happens!! I just came across this video of a comedian and just had to put it up here it's fecking savage.

Those of you who know me know I love the gadets. If it has buttons and is nice and shiny I'm sold!! Hell I even brought one of those stupid robots.  (what was I thinking)

Well a new toy that has caught my eye is the new Sony walkman. Called from what i can see; Walkman NW-S700F series. When will Sony learn something from Apple?

The new Sony Walkman NW-S700F series,(name just rolls off the tongue) is a sleek designed MP3 player. Looks like a small flashbang to me, but thats probably just from playing to many games.  It's equipped with Sony’s original clear audio technology that combines a noise-canceling function, as well as clear stereo and clear bass technologies. It also comes with professional grade 13.5φ EX headphones to boast clearer sound quality even in a noisy environment.

There is a direct encoding function that enables the Walkman to record analogue music from a source such as a CD player without a computer. All you have to do is connect the Walkman To the CD player with a cable or cradle. it can record and store the music in ATRAC or Linear PCM format. 

The Walkman NW-S700F series (just love the name) Has a new colour OEL display which achieves brilliant top emission lighting without emitting any back-light to create a floating feel of the 3-line text display and beautiful cover art.

The walkman has a quick charge feature. With only 3 minutes of charging, it will give you up to 3 hours of non-stop music, When you fully charge it for 2 hours you will get a sexy 50 hours of playback.

It's going to come in 3 sizes. A 1GB NW-S703F is available in gold and black, the 2GB NW-S705F in violet and black and the 4GB NW-S706F in black.  It's also due to be released in November. Wonder what the price will be??? Might be worth selling the bot on ebay soon!

Just sitting in work going through a load of my favourites that I never look at. I came across this
site which has all the stuff you want but can never afford or don't have a house it would ever suit.
But mainly most of the stuff comes into the I will never be able to buy it category. Anyhow they
have a section on adverts from around the world.

This one I thought was really bloody clever. I love people that can think outside the box and just
come up with the things we all wish we could.

This ad for Folgers coffee it was created by Saatchi & Saatchi NY, the clever campaign consists
of delicious looking photos of coffee printed on vinyl and placed on top of steaming manhole
covers around New York. Holes cut out of the photographs allow the steam from the manholes
to rise through, created the effect of giant, steaming hot cups of coffee. Brilliant.
