HammeRuler Part 2
"We often come across products that initially look like a good idea, but then we realize that the inventor, producer, and marketer really haven't asked those that will use it to get involved in the development. So, we're going to avoid this mistake -- with your help, of course." - HammeRuler
To my surprise, the Hammeruler is back! The people behind this product is really serious in their product and they made another series of survey on how to improve their hammer and ruler in one.
My first impression with this hammer is stupid idea! But on the second thought, the concept is marketable.
It's a good point that the makers of this hammer are consulting their market so they will better know how can they improve this product or just dump the idea in the trash. From the survey, many responders are saying they will buy the product (most of them are from US).

Holographic Video Conferencing
Holograms have been imagined and fascinated by humans for a long time. Conceptually, a hologram is a virtual image of an object produced by manipulating light beams through its interference and diffraction properties. The idea has been popping out in science fictions and later portrayed in films. Remember Princess Leia's communication with Obi Wan in Star Wars? Well, this scene has been transformed into reality!
Cisco has unveiled their new product On-Stage TelePresence Holographic Video Conferencing. If you take a look at this video, Cisco CEO John Chambers, who was live on Bangalore India, is interviewing Martin De Beer, Emerging Technologies Senior Vice President, and Chuck Stucki the General Manager of TelePresence, live from San Jose, California. This is one of the many futuristic technologies we're starting to see in real life. 
This new technology produces high definition holograms that capture the sweat and even the pores of a human. With this technology, your relatives abroad can walk right into your home and have a talk with you and then vanish before you know - a Star Wars concept transformed into reality.
It’s amazing! It really looks like the person you’re talking to is in the same room with you. I know this will be good for businesses specially those with global market, but can you imagine how the porn industry will handle this technology? I don't think Cisco has imagined this to disseminate porn in a veridical way, but there’s no doubt the porn kings will be Cisco’s customers (the biggest maybe, who knows).
Hmmm... I'm just wondering how long it’s going to take for a time machine, a flying car and Potter’s invisibility cloak to become a reality. Those are things to look forward.

To Free Rice! Anyone?
What if just knowing what a word meant could help feed hungry people around the world?... - Washington Post
Just one question. Can you think of any game which can improve your vocabulary and help in feeding hungry people around the world?
Any answers? Well I have one!
Say hello to Freerice.com. They host a simple game - a game to improve your vocabulary. For each word you get right, they will donate 20 grains of rice through the UN World Food Program to help end hunger.
Here is how it works. When you play the game, sponsor banners appear on the bottom of your screen. The money generated by these banners is then used to buy the rice. So by playing, you generate the money that pays for the rice and learn new words as well.
I tried the game for a while now and I have donated a little over 1000 grains of rice! I don't know if that amount can feed a hungry child (because I don't count the rice I'm eating... lol). But consider if this game is played by thousands of people, that could make a BIG difference.
So, are you feeling guilty about wasting time on your computer's solitaire? Join the growing guilt-free multitude at FreeRice.com, an online game with redeeming social value.
WARNING: This game may make you smarter. It may improve your speaking, writing, thinking, grades and job performance!

Himatsubushi : Kill Time
Try this game of Himatsubushi, which literally translates to "kill time" or "crush boredom" in Japanese.
This is a fun and weird flash game where your main objective is to keep your mouse pointer safe as long as possible from a little orange ninja guy who will try to grab or hit your cursor with lots of tricks you will never thought or expect. I say he is a cursor addict or cursor maniac! The game also requires you not to move your mouse outside the game's background or else your score will reset to zero.
This is not easy as you might think because the ninja guy will always get you and will give you a big grin every time he captures or destroys your cursor. Just a warning: don't get irritated to him because if you do, you will really smash your monitor screen!
For info, my highest score is 2325 points. How about you? How long can your mouse pointer can survive? Play now and post your score!
Some pics of the game:
My Highest Score : 2325 points!

HammeRuler : A Hammer and a Ruler in One!
This is a sponsored post.
Let's talk about hammers today. Have you heard of a hammer and a ruler molded into one? Well, just put a ruler's markings in the hammer's handle and you got the image of it. Not a nice idea for me.
There's this new product to be released at the end of this year and it's called Hammeruler. Very creative name indeed! And the makers are trying to gauge how well it will sell come the big day.
Is it really worth putting the ruler in the hammer? Or putting the hammer in the ruler? The makers argue that by doing this it will cut down the time needed for the user to switch tools, especially if the user only does short measures. No one realizes how much time a user spend on putting down his hammer to pick up his ruler and that's understandable. For me, I want the two tools different from each other.
Just 'hope this Hammeruler will hit. Just don't hit your finger with the hammer because your using it as a ruler!
