In Girly Gadget news: Now previewing on its Japanese website is Sony’s new pink or shiny-white digital camera complete with extra details (swirls or modernesque dots) and even rhinestones.
I cannot determine the price from the page, but the specs are translated here.

Like Buffy? Yes? Like puns? Of course you do! Like looking fresh and lovely? Ditto to of course!
Then buy this eye mask from Fred Flare: “Puffy the Eye Bag Slayer” for $6. And hurry, ‘cos they’re selling out…
Mark Wahlberg likes to talk to animals, will he like this app?
Birds go tweet tweet in beautiful song, humans nowadays go tweet-ing in ugly text speak.
Now technology’s *trying to bridge the gap between ourselves and animals*.
If you’re a pet owner, you probably try to speak for your furbabies, and hey it’s not even that hard, especially with dogs, but now Google is *trying to further break language barriers that have always hindered our interaction with other species*.
Could this really bring us closer to our furry friends, or just make our German Shepherds cock their heads at us in confuzzlement?
“Translate for Animals” is currently an application for Android phones only (and it’s for now only available in Animal to English translation). I’d test it out with my boyfriend’s cell, but I am currently pet-less. (Cry!)
"What a quack!"
Translate for Animals is an application for Android phones that recognises and transcribes words and phrases that are common to a species, like cats for example. To develop Translate for Animals, we worked closely with many of the world’s top language synthesis teams, and with leaders in the field of animal cognitive linguistics, including senior fellows at the Bodleian Library in Oxford.
"Human, you're an ass."
At least this is what they claim, but I’m sure it is actually … dun dun dun … for entertainment only … or a joke entirely…
Note: It is not Google’s responsibility if you are offended or disappointed by what your chosen animal may say. Also please note, we do not guarantee stimulating conversation.
Pro Tip: As a general rule the higher up in the food chain an animal is, the better a communicator it will be. So if you are after quick witted banter it’s best to select cats and dogs rather than rabbits, hamsters and guinea pigs.
By the way, don’t forget Step 8!
Step 8: Rewarding your pet
Give your pet a treat to say thank you for the conversation and provide encouragment for all the ones you’ll have in the future. Good luck!
Most importantly, don’t get mad at your pet if he/she disses your fashion sense.
When the iPhone was about to debut, I had the great business idea to knit a perfectly-sized cozy for all those who were already Apple or pre-iPhone crazy. It would be designed to look like the cell phone with sewable-buttons that had designs artistically mimicking the default screen’s buttons.
Well I am not a big knitter (ouch to my wrists) so I never finished the knit base, and for some reason never decided to move on to sewing with black felt instead.
Well now even though it’s years later, a much better product has surfaced. In felt but also felt buttons that 100% mirror the iPhone’s. Yeah it makes a lot of sales, sure the money’s not mine – but hey this is an even better product anyway.
So props and promotion to this great cozy! Buy on Etsy for $36 from latelierdululuu.
Forget being classy and respecting those with practically nothing in this recession. For some retarded reason Nokia is putting out a new version of the classic (used to be regular?) 6700 in gold. Not the color, more like the karat.
The gilded object of stupidity has been defended as Nokia as being not “just about the 18-carat gold finish”.
Nokia 6700 in genuine gold
They’re right, I would pay ~$550 for
“… custom wallpapers to complete the gold look, alongside that carry case and monster memory card. The Nokia 6700 classic Gold Edition is a well specced device, boasting a five-megapixel camera wrapped inside that glorious metal shell and of course GPS and Nokia Maps to help you find your way to the next jewelery store.”
The plating’s just gravy.

Hoping to land a new job with a nice comfortable middle income, and also realizing even my small bags are now large enough for non-tiny phones (was part of my quest), and well—-a phone is a phone based on its features, but there are always PINK cases…….so…..
Well we’ve all been seeing the awesome iPhone commercials with all those Apps, those awesome apps like … a level! OK that may sound silly to you, but the iPhone apps offer more than something for everyone. The newest and coolest Apps would ensure a better quality of life for everyone who can afford it, and if you can, I think it’d be totally worth the bills!
So now … I want to get an iPhone! (With a nice leather pink tight-fitting case, thank you). Do you want one as well? Check out the recent ads…
Do you want one now?
This smooth, sleek, ultra stylish and luxurious—ultra violet car is not only snazzy, it’s fit for a queen! Well, a princess… ok women! Well, rich women. (Princess and queen again, then?) Anyway, not only does it come in shiny purple, but the horn sound is customizable, enabled to play an mp3.
Material girl?
Gold digger?
Glamorous by Fergie?
A Prince song?
Just please, no Paris Hilton music! The stars may be blind (yeah right) but most humans’ ears are not deaf … one’s likely to annoy many, even if this is a rare ride to catch.
And oh yes, the Sedan is on sale for $2 million from DiMora.
Oh no, say anything but… is pink out in the mobile world? Sure, T-Mobile (Mr. Pink themselves) and Verizon, Sprint… have great new phones in pink (stay tuned for some of these)… but AT&T (a bit of a leader since the iPhone) only has slightly older models in the shade(s).
With them, and others too (eek!) what abounds is a sea of red. Is red really the new chic color for girls…huh?
Well if you’re a pink warrior like I, you don’t need to fret whatever your carrier is…. there are usually pink snug-fitting cases/faceplates for at least the most popular or coolest models or shapes. (And the shape/opening style is one actually more important feature, thanks to availability of covers, yes I must admit).
Example, this transparent hot pink case for the (AT&T) Pantech Duo from EliteExtreme.
So you shouldn’t delay when in need of upgrading your old phone. (Older models are faster obsolete with the new 3G, in my speculation.) Find your best “fit” and browse for some fitting & flattering shaded case. Who knows, you might prefer a black & white polka dot cellie instead! There’s a world of imagined possibilities out there. Phones can be like clothes. (And that’s why this blog exists.)

It’s time to stare water purification right in its cute robotic face. Element Four has come up with the solution to water shortages worldwide with its Watermill. It may look like a set of speakers, but in reality it is an elegant piece of technology which can save you money while you’re helping to save the world.
The Watermill extracts water from humid air and, through ultraviolet sterilization, is capable of turning it into a potable beverage that is actually cleaner than spring water. It is extremely unobtrusive, or at least you can be sure you won’t notice it when you’re sitting down in your living room, because it is designed to be mounted on the outside of your house. According to Element Four the inside of your home is 70% more polluted than the outside air, and the UV sterilization can handle the smog of city life without issue. If you ever suffered from breathing the dry air your old dehumidifier left behind, this is probably a plus.
Element Four designed the Watermill to minimize power consumption. It automatically checks the dew point every three minutes and makes sure to operate consistently just below it, which is a large part of why it can extract a liter of water from the air for about three cents. It can also hook up to your existing water sources like your fridge dispenser or kitchen sink if you want it to, or else you can use special Element Four Watermill distribution sources. Put these two features together and you should have drinking water available throughout your house just as you did before, except at a tiny fraction of the cost. If you’re worried about volume, the 12 liters (3.2 gallons) of water which the Windmill can extract daily should amply sate a family of six.
The Element Four Windmill is a way to be green and save green, as you will be reducing waste from plastic bottles or jugs as well as reducing your water bill. In mid 2009 a wind/solar powered version should become available to make it even greener, but for now it’ll run off the grid. It will be available for sale beginning in February, and Element Four has big plans for this device. We can’t wait to see it become widely used in the future.

This blog used to just be about girly gadgets (think pink...everything), but that was a bit limited. As we sifted through bloggers with little posts each, it dawned on me: we need to expand. Now we're a gadget, geek-chic, web design, tech, computers, Internet, etc. blog for nerdettes, new nerds and semi-dorks.
