Orange va lansa numai iPhone-ul 3G, pe cel clasic am inteles ca cei de la Apple il vor retrage pana la urma... Probabil cand vor lansa unul 4G, ca deja se pare ca incep sa apara telefoane 4G, lol... (pt noobi: 3G nu inseamna neaparat inca o camera in fata).

Eh abia astept... Si pentru ca parintii nu o sa finanteze cumpararea iPhone-ului complet, sunt nevoit sa vand vechiul telefon si mp4 playerul, de care nu voi mai avea nevoie dupa iPhone. Asa ca va anunt din nou ca vand Sony Ericsson W810i (stare BUNA) + card + cablu + incarcator + CD + manuale &&& MP4 player Philips 4GB + cd + casti + cablu + manual.

Poze cu telefonul si MP4 playerul mai jos...

El sistema nos recuerda la famosa escena de la película "Minority Report" en que un sistema electrónico detectaba la identidad del comprador y le recomendaba en relación a sus anteriores compras y preferencias.

Lo interesante de esta película fue el grupo de asesores que trabajaron en ella sobre futuros cambios que se producirán en nuestra sociedad.

Philips ha tra la sua vasta gamma di prodotti una webcam sorprendente che piacera a tutti i nostri amici geek.

E niente di meno che l’imitazione di un ragno che, sebbene ha un design futuristico e stilizzato a prima vista potrebbe sembrare reale, davvero originale da vedere.

Senza dubbio uno dei suoi maggiori vantaggi è la modalità Bluetooth, che permette il collegamento al computer senza cavi ingombranti.

la webcam-ragno ha 3 zampe-sostegni in modo da poterla posizionare su qualsiasi superficie con facilità.

Attraverso un piccolo ricevitore Bluetooth la webcam scambiera i dati con il computer, e quando sarà attiva un LED verde alla base della fotocamera si accenderà indicandocelo.

Il design è opera di Flynn Product Design e, ovviamente, non è adatto a persone affette da aracnofoba.

Совсем недавно компания Philips выпустила прекрасный светильник LivingColors LED Lamp. Сегодня компания представляет миниатюрную версию этого девайса, которая может переливаться 256 различными цветами.

Несмотря на уменьшенные размеры, лампа Mini LivingColors испускает просто удивительное количество света. Благодаря оригинальному способу освещения, новинка прекрасно вписывается в любой интерьер, будь то спальня, столовая, гостиная или рабочий кабинет.

Светильник оснащен интегрированным цветовым кольцом управления, которое избавит вас от необходимости поисков пульта управления. Выберите наиболее приятный вашему глазу цвет или установите LivingColors LED Lamp в режим смены цветов и наслаждайтесь! Стоимость новинки от Philips составляет 166 долларов.

Last year, Philips came out with an LED LivingColors light that was a smash hit. Keen on capitalizing on that success story, Philips is coming out with a miniaturized version that features 256 different color modes and an updated look.

This time around, they also didn't include a remote. Instead, they went with an integrated color wheel on the lamp itself, which may be positive or negative depending on the placement of the lamp.

The mini edition of the LivingColors lamp is smaller than its predecessor, but still emits an amazing amount of light. Between its bigger sibling and the mini edition, we feel that the design of the original is still a bit above this one. The original was in a clear transparent mount, whereas the new Mini edition is available in either black or white.However, the new smaller version is cheaper and will be easier to find.

The mood of a room can be changed dramatically without the need for a single drop of paint. The mood lighting is especially useful when working at night, giving a nice diffuse glow that spreads all over a room or office.

The Philips Mini LivingColors is expected to arrive at the end of September 2008 and can be pre-ordered from Red5 for £85 (about $166 USD).

Vedete la webcam qua sopra? Ormai è da un pò di tempo che è uscita però mi attrae ancora. Sembra una 1,3 mpixel come tante altre, ma in realtà ha il suo asso nella manica: 90 fotogrammi al secondo e costa solo 60 euro! Eh si, vuol dire che ti fa una ripresa super fluida. Sarebbe adatta per fare qualche live streaming, specialmente in cucina per video culinari, o semplicemente qualsiasi altro video! L'unico problema è che ora sono al verde, e devo ancora pagare Ebay per un'inserzione e iTunes per due apps che ho comprato!! Va bè con calma si riesce a fare tutto :) . Comunque no sul mio Vaio ci sarebbe la webcam integrata solo che chissà perchè si è rotta, si sarà tranciato il filo o qualcosa del genere.. fatto sta che ogni 10 secondi mi manda un avviso sullo schermo dicendo che il pc non riesce a riconoscere l'hardware. Ma poi non mi piaceva perchè era sullo schermo, mentre questa sarebbe mobile e potrei metterla dove voglio. Inoltre adesso che stanno per attivarmi Alice 7 Mega dovrebbe funzionare ancora meglio online (in streaming) no?

Retailing at £150 but if you have a sharp eye and look about you can get around £20 off the kit!

For all your voip equipment and voip services check out Callagenix.

If you're wondering, if he's such a Sony fan, why a Philips TV then? Well, when we came back to SA, I really wanted to get a nice Sony TV but, living in SA, support for international products isn't the greatest and Philips in SA (at the time) was better, with better guarantee on the tube, etc (plus this Philips has PiP support which is very useful with kids).

Bragging? No, this is the real reason I'm posting this - not to brag but show you what's capable if money is no object. I came across a post today of Jeremy Kipnis' Most Expensive Home Theatre System. If you've got US$6m to spare, here's how you can use it - if not, go take a look anyway - the only thing I'd change is the couches to multiple lazy-boys instead! :-)

Was wird man später über unsere Epoche sagen? - Inflationär waren damals USB-Stick-Designs und die Verwendung von Swarovski-Steinchen.Meistens hat es genervt, selten war es überraschend. Dieser kleine Mann namens Raymond (mit LED-Ohren) bricht dann doch meine Widerstandskraft! Eine Koproduktion von Philips und Swarovski. 2 GB Speicherkapazität, also 500 Lieder zum Beispiel.

On pourra dire par exemple que la femme de 2008 aime le cheveu lisse, que les bouclettes sont "out" et que le crin de cheval est "in".
Pour ce faire, la femme de 2008 utilise un étrange appareil appelé lisseur qui, comme son nom l'indique bien, permet de lisser.

D'ailleurs à partir de septembre 2008, elle pourra se munir d'un des deux nouveaux lisseurs proposés par Philips.

Le SalonStraight Sonic qui, tout de rose vêtu, sera vous épater grâce à ces vibrations soniques. Parce que les vibrations font gagner 30 % de temps de lissage paraît-il. On dira que les objets vibrants sont très tendances à la fin des années 2000 (si vous voyez de quoi je parle). L'archéologue en déduira donc que la femme de 2008 a besoin de vibrer. Ce lisseur dispose également d'un écran LCD pour indiquer la température parce que la femme 2008 est aussi technologique.

Le SalonStraight Glamour quant à lui mise sur le glamour (ah bah tiens !) avec ses motifs dorés. Philips nous dit qu'il est bien parce qu'il peut être utilisé avec les mousses et sprays de coiffage sans ce que cela n'altère ses plaques (parce qu'elles sont en titane et qu'avant de détruire du titane tu peux y aller !). Par contre cela altère peut être la qualité de tes cheveux mais ceci n'est pas le problème. L'archéologue notera que la femme de 2008 est prête à tous les sacrifices pour le cheveu raide donc que cela devait vachement compter dans les rapports de séduction.

Côté hommes, on remarque une tendance très nette à vouloir perpétuer le rituel de la tablée estivale avec moult grillades. Cependant les soins esthétiques ayant également touché la population masculine, les barbecues pleins de graisse sont en berne. L'homme de 2008 ne peut plus se permettre l'embonpoint de ses ancêtres. Il est sous pression mais il ne veut pas céder à sa place de grill-man (un des derniers vestiges de virilité). Mais comment faire ? Heureusement l'espagnol, qui s'y connaît en mâle attitude, a trouvé the solution ! La Plancha qui permet à l'homme de 2008 de conserver son statut tout en gardant la ligne svelte. Là encore, l'archéologue démontrera par A + B que décidement en 2008 on mise beaucoup sur l'apparence et la séduction. Ceci fera plus tard l'objet d'une grande étude dans les années 3000 : la période Bling-Bling (2007 - 2014).

A ce propos et c'est quand même pour ça que j'écris cet article, Philips va commercialiser sa première plancha à partir d'octobre 2008 (alors que le consommateur pensera plutôt à cette époque à la fondue et à la raclette). Un design sobre et des éléments entièrement démontables pour être lavés au lave-vaisselle sont les points forts de cette plancha. Mais en gros, rien de très original... sauf peut être sa date de sortie.

On attend donc avec impatience la sortie de l'appareil à raclette Philips en août 2009 ! ;)

1. Flip Your Part and Take Off

One of the fastest styles you can create without a pair of scissors? A low side part. “It’s so dramatic and instantly glamorous,” says hairstylist Kim Kimble, who works with Beyoncé. “Plus, it’s great for all hair types and textures.” She parts hair about four to six inches above the ear and sweeps strands back with the pointy tip of a comb.

2. Hike Up Lashes

Doing mascara on the fly requires a surgeon’s steady hands—or a makeup artist’s speedy strategy. “Always do your mascara first,” says Carol Shaw, who works on Nicole Kidman and Cindy Crawford. “If you mess up, which happens a lot, you can remove the smudge without wiping off everything else you’ve already applied.” Her warp-speed wand move: Wiggle the brush into the roots of lashes before pulling it through, then hit the tips of lashes a second time to make them seem a mile long. Try Fasio 3D Curl & Airy Lashes, P350.

3. Flawless Face Fix

If you can’t head out the door without foundation or concealer, save some time by combining these steps together: “Choose a product that can function as both foundation and concealer,” advises Xeng Zulueta of Shu Uemura. “Cream types are easy to apply while you’re on the move, as it’s best to apply them with fingers and they won’t spill in the process. Work your way out from underneath the eyes and blend out to the cheeks. Go easy on the cheeks and spot-conceal problem areas.” Try Becca Stick Foundation with SPF30, P2,000, or SanSan Matte Finish Liquid Foundation, P91.75.

4. Freeze Out a Zit

It’s Murphy’s Law in action: If anything can go wrong, it will. This is often manifested by the appearance of a monstrous zit just before a hot date. For an emergency fix, Hollywood aesthetician Sonya Dakar tells her star flock (which includes Drew Barrymore and Brittany Murphy) to dab toner over the zit to dry up excess oil, then cool and flatten the bump with an ice cube (wrapped in tissue) for a minute. “Don’t leave the cube on for too long or you’ll wind up with redness,” she warns. Finish by drying the skin with a tissue and dotting a creamy concealer like Estée Lauder Ideal Light Brush-On Illuminator, P1,850.

5. Score Instant Waves

If the humidity puts your strands on permanent frizzmode, Maybelline New York’s Barbi Chan suggested tying slightly damp hair in a bun, then setting it with hair spray before blasting it with a hair dryer. “This creates instant wavy hair without using a curling iron,” Chan says. For soft, bouncy curls, try Tigi Curls Rock Hairspray, P1,195. Bonus: Your man will love the sweet candy smell of your hair!

6. Flush in a Flash

They say that the best blush is the color that you get in the throes of an orgasm—capture this look with cheek tint and some light shimmer. “Liquid blush layered with pink-gold shimmer imparts a soft glow,” says local makeup pro Tatin Yang. “Match it with tinted lip balm and curled lashes, and you’re good to go.” We’re betting Nichido Tickled Pink Cheek Tint, P128, to give you that perfect post-coital glow. Finish off by dusting The Balm Hot Mama Shadow Blush, P1,250, for its peachy-pink shimmer.

7. Whip Out a Posh Ponytail

If you must pull your hair back in a ponytail, at least do it with style. First, tease the roots around the crown to add volume, then pull everything up and back with your fingers. “But don’t tug hair too tightly or you’ll kill the volume,” says Kimble. Secure with an elastic, then dress it up by wrapping a few strands of your own hair around the band or covering it up with a bejeweled clip or scrunchie.

8. Dramatize Your Pucker

Ever wonder how film stars manage to look glamorous sans the smoky eyes and tons of shimmer? The trick is in a tube of classic red lipstick. “Whether you’re in a hurry or simply need an instant boost, red gives you the energy needed to [instantly project] that you’re strong, sexy, or ambitious,” says Jen Delica of Avon. Her hue-finding guide: If you have a darker complexion, go for a warm, brownish red like Avon Moisture Rich Wear in Spicy, P375. If your skin is fair, pick a blue-based red to make your mouth pop like Chanel Luminous Satin Lip Color in Lover, P1,650.

9. Fake Perfect Brows

Warning: If you’re about to walk out the door, avoid tweezing at all costs (you’ll waste time trying to cover up that puffy, red unibrow). “Groom brows by combing upwards and filling in sparse areas with light, feathery strokes with a brow pencil,” suggests Jigs Mayuga of L’Oréal. “[Fix strays with] brow gel or spray an eyebrow brush with hairspray before combing them out.” Check out Bloom Retractable Brow Definer in Medium Brown, P495.

10. Bedazzle Your Tresses

If it’s the mother of all bad hair days and you can’t spare another minute, slip on a metallic headband (or one with a posh print) or tie a casual ribbon around your head. The flashy hairpiece will help draw attention away from your less-than-perfect coif and create a glamorous (or funky, depending on what you’re wearing), put-together look with no effort at all.

11. Revive Your Roots in No Time

When party-hard celebs need to oomph up their hair on the double, New York stylist Tippi Shorter (who works with Ashanti and Rihanna) relies on this tip: “Rub a bit of sculpting wax between your palms until you see a bit of sheen on your hands, then scrunch up your roots,” she says. Try Dep Sport Sculpting Clay, P329.

12. De-Fuzz in a Hurry

Can’t make it to the salon for a wax session? Disguise a bigotilyo by dipping a fluffy powder brush into mineral powder foundation, then swipe it downward over any downy spots. This smoothens the hair so it lies flat and blends into your skin. Youngblood Loose Foundation, P1,850, will do just the trick.

13. Line Your Peepers

Eyeshadow can be the most time-consuming step in makeup. Cut down on blending time by skipping it altogether, and line your eyes instead. “Just use colored liner to give the illusion of wearing eyeshadow,” says Chan. Zulueta agrees. “Go bold with colored pencils, and make sure the tip is sharp and soft for easy application.” For smudge- and waterproof orbs, check out Make Up For Ever Aqua Eyes, P850 each.

14. Try the 10-Second Towel Trick

Instead of heading straight for the fan or dryer, cut drying time in half by blotting excess water from your strands with a thick towel. Don’t rub it vigorously, though—it’ll only create frizz and be harder to style later on. Just press the towel firmly over large sections, then air dry.

15. Do a Super Fast Manicure

Cut the drying time of your nail polish in half by applying two very thin coats. “Most people throw on one thick coat to get it done fast, but that takes forever to harden and looks clumpy,” says manicurist Deborah Lippmann, who polishes up Reese Witherspoon and Hilary Swank. To ensure the lightest application of lacquer, wipe the brush against the neck of the bottle before painting a nail. We like Bobbie Nail Crème in Touch Me Hot, P35.10, or Caronia Nail Polish in Love, P25.

16. Speed Up Your Blowdry

No one wants to spend the better part of the day with a hairdryer in hand, so cut blowdrying time in half by using an extrawide round brush. “Not only can you cover more area quickly, but a larger barrel creates a smoother finish,” explains hairstylist Jimmy Paul, who works with Keira Knightley. Laminate your pin-straight locks with a few drops of serum like Citré Shine Anti-Frizz Serum, P229.50, for super shine.

17. Amp Up Your Pout

You might never have Angelina Jolie’s enviable lips, but here’s an old-fashioned recipe for full lips: olive oil and salt. “The oil is super moisturizing, and the sodium makes your skin bloat up fast,” says Dakar. Mix a spoonful of regular olive oil with a pinch of salt and spread lightly on your kisser.

18. Boost Volume in a Blink

There’s just no denying the appeal of soft, sexy curls. If you want to give life to stick-straight hair, you’ll be glad to know that it doesn’t take five hours to get fat curls. To do this, gather large sections of dry hair (about three inches wide), and roll them around the barrel of a skinny curling iron. In 10 minutes, you’ll be a vampy vixen. Our favorite: Philips 8-in-1 curling iron, P1,500.

19. Make Your Eyes Pop—Pronto

“The easiest way to achieve super dramatic eyes is to rim your eyes with black liner and load up on the mascara,” says Zulueta. It also helps if you do your mascara first so you can wipe off the smudges without having to start everything all over again. Just keep cotton buds handy to erase smears.

Varför köper folk Windows? Jag har valmöjligheten i jobbdatorn att under uppstarten välja att köra Linux i stället, och när jag inte har behovet för att jag sitter i arbetsplatsens nätverk så väljer jag alltid Linux.

Min version av Linux heter Ubuntu. Just nu version 8.04 som bara går och går. Speciellt skönt och snabbt i förhållande till WinXP som bara verkar gå långsammare och långsammare. Jag tror vår tekniker som sköter nätverket på arbetet har en poäng i det att Microsoft lägger tyngd i uppdateringarna så att man ska välja uppgradering till nya versioner i stället. OBS - konspirationsteori...

För den som inte vågar eller kan lämna Windows, så nämner jag att det går att köra Ubuntu 8.04 som en vanlig installation i Windows. Det beter sig som ett andra operativsystem, men du kan avinstallera som vanligt program i Win. Men det kommer du inte vilja göra.

Lite besvärligt är det med några hårdvarutillverkare. Men det har nog med ekonomiska hänsynstaganden att göra. T ex råkade vi skaffa Philips router med tillhörande USB-enhet SNU5600. Det var besvärligt, men det går att trixa fram en fungerande drivrutin. Men lite sur blir man på att Philips inte bara kan förse Linux lika gärna som Win med driv till sina produkter. Men i Linuxvärlden brukar det alltid finnas folk som fixar.

Välj Linux, eller testa åtminstone nu när det är så enkelt. Världen vinner på att använda internetsamarbetet så som det sker i Linuxvärlden.

Nach kurzer Recherche fand ich zwar heraus, dass diese Philips-Werbung schon älter ist - für mich ist die jedoch trotzdem neu.
Der Produzent des Musikstücks Andream, welches man im Werbeclip hören kann, ist Raphael Ibanez de Garayo. Auf der Website des Künstlers raphaelibanez.com kann man den Clip "Philips - RobotSkin" unter der Kategorie TV/Film Soundtracks -> Commercials in einer 1:50 Min langen Fassung sehen. Außerdem ist dort die Lautstärke des Videos höher, was noch mal deutlich besser klingt.
