Camera For Blind People Next time whey you see a person trying to push a camera like object to his / her forehead, do not think he is gone mad or missed his/her medication. Most probably he is a visually impaired person trying to take a photographs.
The back of this device contains a Braille display sheet that embosses a 3D image of picture being taken so to shoot a picture you have to press this camera on your forehead and press the click button. Apart from being a great gadget for visually impaired people. It is also a really cool toy for people with good vision as some people would like to “feel” their private photo sessions with girlfriends. Product has not reached market so far but initial tests and prototype looks promising. Source: loqu.com Matrix Cube Alarm Clock  Unless you are real nerd and Matrix(Movie) fan, this gadget will not appeal you. Its 3 parts a stringed together with a ribbon and you can arrange it in any way you like and it will display time correctly and incorrectly… depends upon how you stack it on your desk. It can display time in 12 hour and 24 hours formats. As far as dimensions go, each cube is approx 3.5″ square that reminds me of the floppy disk size that is almost obsolete these days. It is a bargain with a price tag of just $34.99. you may order it from ThinkGeek.com

USB Indoor/Outdoor Thermometer 
For Just $22 per piece, this USB thermometer takes temperature reading each second for upto 12 hours. It saves the data in a log that can later be pasted to Word/Excel very easily. With temerature range of -50° ~ 150° , this will not make a great science lab tool but for rest of us, this is a great tool. I am thinking about using it in our server room and use the data to nail my building administrator for next air conditioning failure. Currently it supports XP and Vista. Its has a very small footprint and is powered by USB. weight is only 13 grams. The package also includes a USB Extention cable, Indoor and outdoor Thermometer probe and a driver CD for windows XP and Vista. Source Brando.com Portable Mobile Phone Jammer  This little beast is a hand-held portable universal cell phones Jammer. It can be used in conference rooms, classrooms , libraries, courtrooms, cinema halls and concert halls. On a fully charged battery, this device can keep all mobile phones jammed within 8 - 10 meter radius for upto 1.5 hours. the size is so small that it can easily fit the palm of your hand.
I have only once concern though that in hands of car thieves, this can render all kind of tracker devices useless as most of today’s car tracking devices use GSM / GPRS to connect to base stations. But I do like the fact that, If I have this one with me, I can silence all mobile phones around me without having to confront annoying people. although there are some states where use of such devices is prohibited by law.  Here is the list of frequencies it can block
-
GSM850 Band: 869-894 MHz -
EGSM900: 925-960 MHz -
DCS1800: 1805-1880 MHz -
PCS1900: 1930-1990 MHz -
CDMA800: 869-894 MHz -
WCDMA/CDMA2000: 2110-2170 MHz -
PHS: 1895-1919 MHz -
DECT: 1880-1900 MHz
The device is however priced at quite higher side of things. At around $250 it is not worth its money but those who value a good nap during commute might find the price tag reasonable.
