Canadian Based Builder Uses iPads to Sell Condo Suites
Most builders use technology, but for the most part, few have jumped right in with both feet and embraced all that it has to offer. Sure they have websites and email, but personal experience has shown me technology doesn’t extend much beyond that in the construction industry. According to The Globe and Mail, Jack Winberg the President of Rockport Group, is changing that with the use of iPads.
When a techie from the Rockport Group’s sales agency suggested purchasing iPads and using them for all their marketing material, as well as a video of the community and proposed features of the building, Windberg not only embraced the idea, but decided to take it a step further.
I decided we would give an iPad loaded with all the information on 21 Clairtrell to anyone who decided to buy a suite. That way they would have at hand the very latest new gadget to use to show friends and family just what they were getting.
This metal puzzle is actually a gun!
I don’t know if we have any readers that are TSA employees, but if they are, then don’t let this on the plane!
This is because that this is not an ordinary puzzle. This is assuming that a puzzle with 125 parts is “normal”. Personally, I think I would have a heck of a time solving it.
However, you should know that this particular puzzle has about 20 pieces that can form a single-shot .45 handgun.
By the way, the puzzle needs a special key in order to disassemble it, and I’m guessing that it doesn’t come with the bullet. Good luck trying to get past security with those bullets and this puzzle, buddy.
Now we come to the question as to why someone would make something like this. I mean, is someone actually trying to get past security with a one-shot gun?
I know that John Malkovich assembled a two-shot gun so he could kill the president in In the Line of Fire, and he had to assemble it secretly. I don’t think he could do this big puzzle underneath the table.

XCOR Aerospace Lynx spacecraft accepting pre-orders for space tours
I think we all know that the future is going to bring us space-travel tourism. Virgin Galactic has that Spaceport America coming very soon, and there is that fairly interesting Spaceship 2.
This is XCOR Aerospace’s Lynx spacecraft. It looks smaller than what Sir Richard Branson from Virgin is working on. The Lynx first showed up in 2008, and they are now taking pre-orders for the first flight, which is expected to be unveiled in 2012.
The Lynx has been designed with four independent rocket engines whose operational profile are “jet-engine” like in the sense they are used to power the aircraft. After it lands, they are refueled, a checklist is performed, and then you take off again, up to four times per day. The Lynx takes off like a private aircraft from a runway, flies to the edge of space, and returns to the take off site. Four onboard and several ground based cameras will be recording these historical flights, and will become a memento of this extraordinary personalized experience.

Mr. Clock tells time, only when you look at it
Mr.Clock_Hye-yeon.park_Design Product_2010 RCA from hye-yeon.park on Vimeo.
We are no stranger to very cool clocks here on Coolest Gadgets. We just covered the Alessi Blank Wall Clock yesterday.
This clock is just as personal, but not in the sense that you can draw on it. As you can see in the video, the clock will only show the time when people are looking at it.

Panasonic HM-TA1 camcorder is pocket-sized, yet offers full HD
Panasonic decides to jump into the pocket camcorder fray for casual users who want quality in a highly portable device, and the result of that would be the HM-TA1 camcorder. This device is capable of shooting full High Definition video at 1920 x 1080 pixels without any hassle at all, making it ideal for on-the-go shooting opportunities. Sporting an easy-to-use design intended for intuitive operation, the TA1 will also feature an integrated USB terminal that makes your traveling lighter since there is no need to carry around another USB cable if and when you want to transfer all your digital memories onto a computer. The pre-loaded software also makes it a snap for uploading videos to online sharing sites such as YouTube and Facebook without having to go through the tedium of processing said videos beforehand. Apple computer users will also be pleased to know that the TA1 comes with Apple iFrame video format (960 x 540/30p) support, making it ideal for for Mac users to import quickly and maintain small file sizes.
Apart from shooting HD video as its main diet, the HM-TA1 is no slouch when it comes to being a multi-tasker, working as a Web camera for folks who have yet to own something like this in their homes. Granted, a whole lot of notebooks and Apple MacBooks come with a built-in web camera these days, so it will probably go down well with desktop owners. All you need to do is plug it into an available USB port and you’re good to go, as the TA1 will play nice with IP-based video chat programs such as Skype.
It is extremely pocket friendly in terms of dimension (and price, which you will find out later), measuring just 2.09″ x 0.7″ x 4.09″ while tipping the scales at a mere 0.25lb, including a battery and SD memory card. Each TA1 will come with a wrist strap, making it perfect for being carried around without worries of losing it. With single-function buttons such as Power, Play, Record, Still Photo, LED Light (on/off) and Delete, even beginners are able to get straight into the middle of video recording action right out of the box. Shooting stills of up to 8-megapixels is another ability found on the TA1, making it another secondary digital camera device for your home. Out in purple, dark grey and red color options from next month onwards, the Panasonic HM-TA1 will retail for $169.95.
