The Suzukaze (meaning ‘cool breeze’) is actually an air conditioned cushion that is designed to keep your rear end cool. The cushion works by keeping you elevated from your chair so that cold air can come in directly from underneath. Say goodbye to those sticky chairs and wet pants, and hello to your new cold and revitalized butt cheeks.

The Suzukaze comes in three versions. The standard, which is one basic layer of Spacer Material that keeps you elevated. The upgraded version features a
Dual Layer Spacer Material and a touch sensitive switch that can turn the fan on and off. Finally, the Ferrari of the Suzukaze features a cigarette lighter adapter allowing you to use the cushion in your car.

Have you ever been so frustrated at your computer that you wanted to throw it out of a window? Or hammer a nail through the USB drive? Of course you have, however now you can now actually do the latter without harming your PC.

Thanks to the guys at Plankton, you can live out this dream with a new ‘nailed’ USB drive. The drive features 2GB of storage, a unique nail design complete with oversized head to ensure you don’t miss it with your hammer amidst all the rage (I wouldn’t recommend actually hitting the drive with a hammer, but a few taps wouldn’t hurt).

Rumour has it that Sony has been working on a Wii-like remote for the PlayStation 3. Apparently a group of PS3 owners were taken to California where they got to test out this new Sony product, a PS3 remote that mimics the functions of the Wiimote. The PS3 owners used the device to play games such a tennis, paintball, and fencing. They were also shown how it could potentially be used in shooters, with a demo of the remote being used to play Quake on a laptop. There are many changes that need to be made before Sony can even consider releasing this product, starting with the fact that the device is mounted on a large tripod. If this product does reach the market, the gaming community could end up being a great source for professional athletes – or so we’d like to think.

I received this in an email this week and thought I would share it with you all. I found it very interesting, let me know if you agree.

For all the folks with cell phones. (This should be printed and kept in your car, purse, and wallet. Good information to have with you.)

There are a few things that can be done in times of grave emergencies.

Your mobile phone can actually be a life saver or an emergency tool for survival. Check out the things that you can do with it:

FIRST: Emergency

The Emergency Number worldwide for Mobile is 112. If you find Yourself out of the coverage area of your mobile network and there is an Emergency, dial 112 and the mobile will search any existing network to establish the emergency number for you, and interestingly, this number 112 can be dialed even if the keypad is locked. Try it out.

SECOND

Have you locked your keys in the car? Does your car have remote keyless entry? This may come in handy someday. Good reason to own a cell phone: If you lock your keys In the car and the spare keys are at home, call someone at home on their cell phone from your cell phone. Hold your cell phone about a foot from your car door and have the person at your home press the unlock button, holding it near the mobile phone on their end. Your car will unlock. Saves someone from having to drive your keys to you. Distance is no object. You could be hundreds of miles away, and if you can reach someone who has the other remote’ for your car, you can unlock the doors (or the trunk).

Editor’s Note: It works fine! We tried it out and it unlocked Our car over a cell phone!’

THIRD: Hidden Battery Power

Imagine your cell battery is very low. To activate, press the keys #3370#. Your cell phone will restart with this reserve and the instrument will show a 50% increase in battery. This reserve will get charged when you charge your cell phone next time.

FOURTH: How to disable a STOLEN mobile phone?

To check your Mobile phone’s serial number, key in the following Digits on your phone: *#06#. A 15-digit code will appear on the screen. This number is unique to your handset. Write it down and keep it somewhere safe.

When your phone gets stolen, you can phone your service provider and give them this code. They will then be able to block your handset so even if the thief changes the SIM card, your phone will be totally useless. You probably won’t get your phone back, but at least you know that whoever stole it can’t use/sell it either. If everybody does this, there would be no point in people stealing mobile phones.

And Finally…

FIFTH: Free Directory Service for Cells

Cell phone companies are charging us $1.00 to $1.75 or more for 411 information calls when they don’t have to. Most of us do not carry a telephone directory in our vehicle, which makes this situation
even more of a problem. When you need to use the 411 information option, simply dial: (800)FREE411, or (800) 373-3411 without incurring any charge at all. Program this into your cell phone now.
