The Gadget of all gadgets.  Khalas, theyve gone way overboard with this one..  Parrot, a conpany previously synonymous for building navigation systems and voice recognition technologies for the US Military, has now developed something quite special for the mass market..

In simple terms, its a quadripcopter.  Ok .. in more simple terms, its a helicopter with 4 propellers.  It comes with two built-in cameras, one facing forward and the other downward.  The magic ?? You can control it with your iPhone, iPod Touch, or iPad !!!!!!!

The quadrocopter comes with a built-in WiFi router which is used to connect to your iphone, which, with its built in motion sensor/gyro, is used to control the quadtrocopter through an application you download for free from the app store.

Once connected, you will be able to control the quadrocopter based on how you move the iPod/iPhone/iPad, so for example, if you twist it right, the quadrocopter will move to the right in exactly the same way the ipod is.

Of course, the cameras will stream live/real-time views of the quadrocopter right to your iphone so you basically can see exactly what it can from above, plus, of you have more than one of those quadrocopters, the application has built-in games that basicaally add graphics to your screen allowing you to challenge other players in a dogfight, etc..

The Parrot AR Drone is available for pre-order exclusively at brookstone.com for only US$ 300 !  sorry aramex customers, these guys apparently wont ship to forwarding (KWI … ) addresses nor do they do international shipping, so if you have anyone living or going to the US, that would be your best ( and only) bet.

Yes .. you heard it right … introducing the Mustang Mouse !! Just when people began losing hope in humans’ ability to get really creative with technology, those guys at roadmice came up with this ubercool way to add some spice to your sorry excuse of an office cubicle .. a mouse shaped like your favorite (or not) car !

As most of you might know if you kept a laptop in a diwaniya for public use, the laptop would most probably get worn out in a very short period. Our diwaniya’s laptop, MSI Wind, which infact was the medium for posting over 80% of 4^th Ring Road’s total posts was able to survive this period. Let me add that we were over 15 users using this laptop for at least 6 hours a day the past 18 months. Our main concern at that time was the low screen resolution and the ability to multitask which was primary due to the limited memory and processor speed.

We are lucky enough to receive a gift from Yousef Al Roumi Trading Company, the dealers of MSI, with a brand new model, the MSI CX 500.

Specifications:
- Intel Core i3 Processor 2.13 GHz
- 500 GB Hard Disk
- 4 GB RAM
- ATI Mobility Radeon Graphic s Card with a dedicated 1024 MB memory
- Windows 7 Ultimate (64 Bit)

This new laptop is extremely fast and great considering the memory installed and along with the 64 bit application.
4^th Ring Road Staff would like to thank Mr. Fahad Al Roumi for this valuable gift and look forward in exploring the new Windows 7.

Google is working with Intel  and Sony  to develop a new class of Internet-enabled televisions and set top boxes, It will run the Android OS. The TV is still under wraps, but that hasn’t stopped the details from leaking. The Google TV will be based on the Android OS, and come in the form of both a set-top box and actual TV-sets. There will be regular television, of course, but also Hulu, YouTube and other web-video sources, as well as games and apps for social networking.

MSI is calling this dual 10-inch screen device an e-reader, it’s really a netbook with two screens since it’s got an Atom Z Series processor and Windows 7 Home Premium. But it’s how the two screens work together that we can’t get out of our minds.

This is the first time I see the new interface of the new Iphone 4G it seems really different. The new Iphone will have 64GB of storage which is a lot and two camera’s the one in front will be 2mp and in the back 5mp which is impressive.the other thing i like is the variety of colours available its nice that they evolved these colour options from the ipod. The phone looks great I thought of buying the Nexus one but after seeing the pic of the new iphone I think I will wait.

i dont wear glasses and i hate contact lenses but i wouldn’t mind wearing these

The bionic eye engineers have, for the first time, combined a flexible, biologically safe contact lens with an imprinted electronic circuit and lights. The lens could give wearers a new look at the world by superimposing computerized images onto their natural view. Such virtual displays could be useful to drivers and pilots, who could obtain route, weather, or vehicle status information overlaid onto their vision. Video-game players could immerse themselves in a virtual world without restricting their range of motion.The lens could even be paired with sensors that monitor a person’s biological conditions — cholesterol level or the presence of viruses and bacteria, and transmit the data wirelessly to a computer.

I Like to go to bin nisf from time to time while i was strolling through there aisles i stumbled on this clock which i think is very cool because you can look at all its inner working and every thing moves around it has the date as well and it is only for 35 kd

By now all of you have heard of Apple’s latest product, the long overdue iPad. The first reviews were mixed, but a lot people were not very impressed because they think it’s just a large iPod Touch.

Let’s have a look at what the investors thought of the new product:

This chart shows Apple stocks’ behavior yesterday. The conference took place in San Francisco 10 am Pacific time, 1 pm Eastern. The stock went down minutes after unveiling the iPad, maybe investors were not very impressed with the product itself. At around 2:25 pm Eastern the stock rose sharply, why you may ask?

Well, at just about the same time Steve Jobs announced that the new starting price for the iPad is just $499.

I think the investors were a bit disappointed with the iPad but the price tag is a big plus.

Phones charging on soft drinks??!!! No more worrying about buying chargers or charging your phone before you go out! A new charger now costs you just a 100 fils and you could literally find it on every corner in every street! I never thought an invention like this would come to light (to be frank i would have never thought of such an idea). This new invention should be up there with spaceships, the computer, insulin and others.
The inventor is Daizi Zheng and it was invented for Nokia! Talking about Eco friendly the inventor truly deserves a NOBLE prize or something of that sort!!!!!!!!!!
