For Super Mario geeks: Koopa Shell USB mouse

Posted: 30 May 2012 05:13 AM PDT

Super Mario is one of the most famous video game characters, and if you're fan of a Super Mario and video games in general, today we have a special treat for you.

One of key parts of Super Mario games is the famous Koopa shell, and today we have a special Koopa Shell USB mouse that we want to show you. We have to mention that Koopa Shell USB mouse doesn't look comfortable, but it will look great next to your computer, even if you're not using it instead of your mouse. Koopa Shell USB mouse is available in two colors, green and red, and besides the color, there's no difference between the two. As we said earlier, Koopa Shell USB mouse doesn't look that comfortable and it would be probably better for you to use your regular mouse instead.

Koopa Shell USB mouse might be appealing to Super Mario fans and gamers, and if you want your own Koopa Shell USB mouse, you can get it for about $31.

RunCore InVincible Solid State Drive comes with self-destruct button

Posted: 30 May 2012 04:27 AM PDT

Keeping you data safe from others is often a priority, and today we have a SSD drive that comes with two unique features to protect your data.

RunCore has introduced the InVincible Solid State Drive that protects your data, and unlike other solid state drives, InVincible Solid State Drive comes with two special buttons. The green button triggers the Intelligent Destruction process that overwrites entire SSD with meaningless code while making your data unable to recover. However, if you're looking for another way to destroy your data, you can press the red button and activate Physical Destruction. Physical Destruction process will apply over-current to the NAND flash memory and destroy your InVincible Solid State Drive physically. This SSD delivers 240MB/s read and 140MB/s write speeds, and it's intended to be used in areas of aerospace and military. In addition, InVincible Solid State Drive comes with MLC and SLC options, and it can operate on wide temperature range.

InVincible Solid State Drive is rather unusual SSD, however, no information about pricing or availability is available at the moment.

First bio computer that grows grass on its top

Posted: 30 May 2012 03:29 AM PDT

We have seen all sorts of computer cases in the past, and you probably remember Star Wars AT-AT PC casemod that we covered earlier, but if you're looking for a different kind of PC case, today we might have the perfect model for you.

Today we have probably the first computer case that has a small garden on top of it, and this unusual case is created by Mike Schropp. Mike Schropp used parts from old computers and combined them into a single computer that grows wheatgrass on its top. This computer is using Pentium 4 processor, 2 GB RAM sticks, a Maxtor 120 GB hard drive, and a Dell motherboard, and in addition to hardware, Mike has managed to put four tubes with grass and soil. Wheatgrass grows from the tubes thanks to the heat from the computer that warms the soil and aids its germination.

This is one of a kind computer and if want one for yourself, Mike Schropp has left detailed instructions on his website.

Une Bobine: Foldable iPhone and iPod Touch dock

Posted: 29 May 2012 11:19 AM PDT

In the past we saw variety of iPhone and iPod Touch stands and docks, but if you haven't found appropriate stand for your iOS device, today we might have the perfect model for you.

Today's stand is called Une Bobine, and unlike other iPhone stands on the market, this stand is fully foldable, so you can easily fold it and change its shape. According to the designer of Une Bobine, this stand is made from a "very specific metal gooseneck material", so this stand can easily change its position while maintaining stability. We have to mention that although Une Bobine works as a stand, it can also work as a cable, so you can easily connect your iOS device to your computer with it. Une Bobine is so firm and it can hold iPhone or iPod in upright position without any problems, but probably not your iPad.
