Remember our last post about Rei Evangelion Gallery? Well, now Evangelion famous again in Japan because the maker of Evangelion release another series of Evangelion: Puchi Eva. Puchi Eva is the Cute Chibi version of Evangelion, and the story of this Eva is not as serious as the Original Evangelion anime too.

However, I don’t want to be off topic with talking about Evangelion itself, because I want to talk about my Finding about this Cute Japanese USB Flashdisk. This Flashdisk is made to Evangelion fans, because this USB memory is featuring main character in Evangelion: Rei Ayanami. Look at the pic, do you think this Rei USB memory is sooooooo cute?? This Cute Anime Gadget comes at 2GB size, enough for store lots of Data. If you interested, you have to come to Japan because until now, I still don’t have information about the worldwide seller who sold this Cute Flash disk.

Cute Rei Ayanami Flash Disk

WHAT IS IT?A portable 320GB hard drive with the ability to copy and play back movies, photos and music over all manner of hardware. To that end, it comes not only with the expected PC USB connectivity, but also with audiovisual outputs and a Scart adaptor, making it compatible with standard televisions and hi-fi sets. Waiting on the disk is software able to handle just about any audio or video format imaginable, and capable of upscaling the latter to 720p HD if you choose. The software is accessed via dedicated playback keys or the supplied remote control. Particularly noteworthy is the unit’s ability to cope with DVDs, though only as long as they’re copyright-free. Transfer a film to the Plextor using your computer, and the drive will store not just the video, but all the associated extras, such as menus and chapters - previously only possible if you manually converted each audio or video format.

If you’ve got the money, the Plextor PX-MPM320U Media Drive might just get the job done for you.

Well it seems it is a revolutionary bit of kit.

Thanks to 54 tiny photovoltaic panels, the iBonsai (we just made that name up) will store energy in a hidden battery during the day, allowing you to recharge your gadgets even at night.

Hate wire clutter? Who doesn’t. The bonsai charging tree cleverly hides all wires and plugs under the tray.

Need to slim down the tree’s berth so you can fit it on your desk? No problem. You can rotate each part individually and produce an endless number of different shapes. It’s like metal adult LEGOS.

The iBonsai Tree is decorative, good for the environment and sexy. It’s also just still a concept, so sorry. You can’t buy this yet. Hopefully Vivien will sell his concept and get the tree mass produced soon.

Instead of using their $300 million on customer services/refunds for wrongly-installed Vistas on brand new laptops/PCs, Microsoft is trying to copy Apple Genius strategy by having 155 Microsoft Vista experts roam around your local BestBuy and CircuitCity.

As someone who had a horrible experience at BestBuy trying to return a digital camera, (which BestBuy didn’t let me return it for whatever reason so I now have TWO identical digital cameras) I will be officially boycotting BestBuy and CircuitCity stores for the duration of this Microsoft stint.

Even without Microsoft, I have a hard time getting around the retail stores without sales people annoying me with their “Can I help you find anything” questions.

Call me bitter but Microsoft deserves it after I bought a new HP desktop PC last year and of course it came with a Vista that wouldn’t work with any of my printers, mouse, pretty much all my USB devices.

Now, Microsoft should be paying me at least $25/hour during the time I formatted my PC using a special Linux Boot CD (because harddrive gets junked when you install Vista, you need to partition it and get rid of the root Vista thingee) and installed a fresh copy of Windows XP, which took me a total of 5 hours.

Now that’s $25 x 5 = $125 + Cost of Vista = about $500.

There, what Microsoft needed to do in order to survive and turn people like me into fans is about $500 for all my troubles and $500 for every PC/laptop I buy that come with Vista.

My next operating system will definitely hang around Ubuntu or another Linux system, but definitely Microsoft needs to realize for the good of human kind that their new Vista sucks so much even with their new $300 million marketing.  (Marketing...not product features or upgrades that Microsoft is spending money on)

Here’s to Bill Gates or whoever is in charge of Microsoft:

“Please stop re-selling consumers an outdated, poorly designed operating system.  No matter what marketing tatics you employ, I will do my best to let everyone else know that Vista has not changed (Yes, your mojave marketing had a reverse effect on me) , it’s the worst operating system I have ever used in my life.  We are smarter than you think.  Just having a new Vista  Period. (and there’s goes my middle finger too.)”

Interesting facts:

There’s 525,000 search results about “Vista Sucks” on Google today.  (Probably more as we go on)

Chair made out of Playstation 2 Casing!

Here’s a really cool chair made out of Playstation 2 casings.  (What a way to recycle that PS2, I have one too but it’s not up for recycling yet until I get my hands on a PS3)

Pli Design is preparing to launch next week a line of eco-friendly chairs, made entirely of recycled PlayStation 2 console casings. The stylish Reee Chairs are also designed to be recycled again and again, doubly contributing to their environmental appeal.

“The simple idea behind the Reee chair is to produce a recycled furniture product in the UK that has style, function and durability but does not compromise its environmental credentials - so our customers don’t have to compromise theirs,” said Alex Whitney, Pli’s design manager in a news release.
