Cycle your way to power
One Bike is quite an innovation I tell you! It’s an electric bike that gets powered by kinetic energy. Basically when you set it on its cradle at home, the bike becomes a stationary fitness machine. So every time you pedal to keep fit, it harnesses energy from your motion and converts it to electric power. Tank up the juice and cruise the roads my friends! Awesome.

All-in-one. That’s my golden word. Three-in-one is only slightly less enticing, but still worth a good inspection. Canon today introduced its X Mark I Mouse Lite — a three-in-one calculator, keypad and laser mouse designed by the Canon camera team.
This would be a nice addition to any office especially to business man/woman, and it doesn’t look half bad either. With three mouse buttons, including a scroll wheel, the Canon mouse has support for Bluetooth 2.01. The Canon X Mark I Mouse Lite comes in both black and white, and is compatible with both Windows and Mac OS X. The mouse also sports a little low battery indicator to make sure you stay charged.

The plug and mp3 player that is possibly the easiest player to charge at any given time of day. Being that the player is no bigger than a plug head, the device can be charged in any wall socket for a few minutes and be ready for more use. An iPod styled click wheel and a single led located on the face of the device combine to make the ease of use, portability and quick functioning capacity an interesting aspect of this device.
The headphone port can be connected inline to a USB connector and used on your computer to load it with your favorite music.
I find that Plug and Player mp3 device has the main advantage and disadvantage.

Bicycle sculpture on the River Danube
The bicycle sculpture is the world's largest bicycle.
This huge kinetic sculpture has been created by Zoltan Kecskemeti on the river Danube in Budapest, Hungary. 'Danube bicycle' brings together two kinds of environmentally friendly energy sources: man and water.

Good grades were the great motivator, the difference between getting the video game system you always wanted, and getting something like this. Don't worry, parents; it's called the Cool Gamer Calculator, so your child will love you for giving him a reminder of how hard math class is instead of an Xbox 360 and Call of Duty : Black Ops. LOL
