Ok, I never liked Elmo, but this new TMX (Tickle Me Xtreme) Elmo looks like its on crack that it’s funny! It takes in 6 AA batteries and comes with three tickle modes:

• Tickle 1: Elmo laughs, slaps his knee twice, falls down, and stands back up.
• Tickle 2: Elmo repeats step one, sits down again and falls backwards onto his back and starts kicking his feet while laughing even harder.
• Tickle 3: Repeats steps 1 and 2, then rolls over onto his tummy where he starts hitting the floor with his fists, stands back up again, and takes a deep sigh.

It isn’t cheap though, Amazon has it at $199.99.

and TMX Elmo Sex Tape Has Arrived

The title says it all—someone has taken the beloved Tickle Me Xtreme Elmo and created a sex tape. Note that it could be considered NSFW. It doesn’t have any hoo-ha’s or ho-ho’s, but your know, it’s still sexual content … with Sesame Street’s Elmo. – Travis Hudson

Bite into the latest bit of technology and new ideas toast up. Taking printing a step further is Zuse that has come out with a printer to print on the humble bread. The Zuse toaster allows you to burn custom images into your toast. Very soon I’m sure text messages would also surface. How cool would that be? Well for now make do with the preset images that could pep up your morning breakfast. Getting up in the morning and your partner treating you to a lovely B-I-B and there next to the cup of coffee is a perfectly burnt heart on your toast. Fussy children could also be cajoled into eating their toast with a promise of their favorite image on the toast.

The possibilities are endless, and the creativity limitless. So now you can burn your toast and eat it too.

you read the heading correctly. There has been no typo. The spider that we are referring too though is made out of plastic and rubs its belly all over your computer screen to make it clean. You can choose from the caterpillar or fish if you don’t fancy spiders. Just stick them to your screen and whenever you fancy, you just pull the retractable cord and their soft velvet bellies clean your computer monitor. It works on flat screens & televisions too.

The cord extends to approx 24″ covering a good amount of screen area. Perpetual Kid brings you these critters for $6.99 each.

We are now officially one step closer to Star Trek-like teleportation. Two years ago, teleportation between two atoms at a distance of a fraction of a millimeter was achieved. But today, Danish scientist Eugene Polzik and his team of scientists have managed to perform teleportation between two different objects, light and matter, at a distance of 1.6 feet (0.5 meters).

“Our method allows teleportation to be taken over longer distances because it involves light as the carrier of entanglement,” Polzik said.

The mind-boggling stuffs:

A strong laser beam was shined onto a cloud of room-temperature cesium atoms whose spins were all pointing in the same direction and fluctuating according to their given quantum state. The laser became entangled with the collective spin of the cloud, meaning that the quantum states of laser and gas shared the same amplitude but had opposite phases. The goal was to transfer, or teleport, the quantum state of a second light beam onto the cloud.

The group mixed a second, weaker laser pulse with the strong laser and split the superimposed beams into two arms. A detector in one arm measured the sum of the beams’ amplitudes and a detector in the second arm measured the difference between their phases. Neither measurement disturbed the delicate entangled state between the light and cesium. But the researchers could use the results to apply a precise magnetic field to the cesium vapor that effectively canceled out the ensemble’s original spin state and replaced it with one that corresponded to the polarization of the weak pulse, as they report in the 5 October Nature.

But this technology is really more like transferring of information at incredible speed than “real” teleportation. So to get beamed up by Scotty is still a long way ahead. Rather than for teleportation purposes, the technology can best be applied to the creation of ultra-powerful computers and super-secure encryption systems. Sounds just as fun as teleportation around the world! Ok, maybe not.

Yep that’s right. CDW is now selling a 64GB flash drive for $5,739.99 which means there’s actually a good chance that the car that key belongs to is worth less than the flash drive being used as a keychain. I guess on the plus side the paranoia of having one of these attached to your keys will make you far less likely to accidentally misplace them.

As for specs the flash drive of course supports USB 2.0 (though at that price I’d expect at least USB 4.0 or 5.0) which allows for 20 Mb/s read and 15 Mb/s write times and comes in a sturdy, ribbed metal alloy case.

The BUSlink flash drive is currently available at CDW and if you don’t feel like dropping that amount of cash at one time you can instead pay for the drive in monthly installments of $178.17.

Nineteen-year-old Pankaj Sharma from India has invented a pair of shoes that can charge your cellphone while you are on the move – literally! By simplying walking, your cellphone can be charged within an hour’s time.

The way it works is pretty simple. A dynamo is attached to the shoe, which converts the mechanical energy, generated by the act of walking, into electrical energy. A bridge rectifier converts the AC current into DC current, producing five to six volts of electricity for charging your phone.

This invention has earned Pankaj a first prize award in the student category from the National Innovation Foundation.

I can see it already. The technology will be fitted into Nike shoes, not only tracking your jogging statistics but powering and charging the iPod as well. And a link from the iPod to the would-be iPhone allows it to get charged as well! Buy the boy’s work, Steve.
