New And Improved Mouse - The Space Navigator - Gizmo Watch


New And Improved Mouse - The Space Navigator - Gizmo Watch: "With games such as Second Life and, well, any 3-D environment, this mouse can be used to navigate through the online world of Second Life where using a normal mouse just sounds ridiculous. Just like some BMWs out there, 3Dconnexion’s mouse has a cap that has the ability to slide, go down, and go every which way. To use it, you move and use the Space Navigator with your nondominate hand and use your dominant hand to use the old mouse so you can apply actions while moving in space.
With this new mouse, users can not only navigate with ease, but navigate with style. Just like the joysticks of old, this new model is coming to do that and better. Now I’m able to fly my character through Second Life’s realms and maneuver better than ever before. The new Space Navigator is also for a decent price as well. It’s a cheap $59 and it is well worth it for what it allows you to do. It eliminates the habit of having to go from keyboard to mouse as well as look cool."

Rocket Car Hits The Streets Of LA - Gizmo Watch



Rocket Car Hits The Streets Of LA - Gizmo Watch: "A new cool looking Rocket Car hit the streets last weekend and was spotted parked at Silver Lake. This retro looking rocket car looks like a thing out of SciFi with it’s bomb shaped design and massive fan in the back. Although there are many neat designs and cars that come out of LA, this one is sure to go into the record books for most ingenious design.
When I heard about this car, my first thought was “yeah right”, but when I looked into it further and found out it was true, I was blown away. This man had made this himself and created it out of almost nothing. The back end, the fan and tail lights spin in unison. This invention truly is a marvel. It also gives you that kind of retro look. Like someone else pointed out, it looks like something out of Penelope Pitstop. It really does too."

Long Lost Twins

Disclaimer: This is meant to be tongue-in-cheek and never meant to spark some cross cultural backlash. :0)

What if you have an International Playboy as a father and he's been sowing his seeds around the globe and a Japanese child just found out that he has a long lost Italian sister?


>Witness the Japanese kid: The Subaru R1




>>Now observe the Italian sister: The Fiat 500



If you're blind and still insist on a DNA test... How do we tell that these kiddos probably share the same father?


-Both are multi-award winning city cars.

-Both are quintessential 3-door hot-hatches that can shame many a 'real' sports car with their agile handling and spritely engines.

-Both are meant for a couple and 2 tag-alongs (no heads or no lower limbs for those at the back; pick one)

-Both have the egg-wedge shape.

-Both have loud Red interiors to stun and have fun in.

-Both cost a lot of cash for very little metal.



There's definitely an identity crisis going here.


Good genes though.

Q

Adrenalin for the Thinking Man

Well, these two cars have the right pedigree.

The brand prestige. The reputation that goes along with it . The technological marvel (The pug has a BMW/MINI-sourced turbo lump while the VW has a much raved-about award-winning 'bi-turbo' one)> Both have the space and practicality which the competition does not have (Neither the BMW 1-series nor the MINI Cooper Clubman have the space to match the pace) . And best of all, undercuts the rest of the pack with (slightly) lower price tags.


Now, that's a THINKING MAN'S ADRENALIN RUSH.



The VW Golf GT: 1.4L inline 4 cylinder Twin charge TSI , 6 speed

The Peugeot 308 Turbo: 1.6L inline 4 cylinder turbo, 4 speed

Either can be yours for a shade under S$100 thousand dollars.

(Anything else with a similarly big badge and similarly big on performance will cost you at least 10-15 grand more.)



Unfortunately, I think with my balls... :p

Fortitude; none there is.

Wateva...


Who can blame the ambiguity with the LACK of a Grade Point Average (GPA) system?


(Yes! Lack!!!)


I mean, this is just major crappola.

We can't just sit there and take SH*T!!!

How would anyone know if we've been taken seriously? How do we know if we've been short changed?

They say...
'We've checked. We've calculated."

How will I know?


Fortitude to move on? Yeah right....
