Having recieved a Tom Tom One IQ Routes, sat nav for my birthday this year I have messed about with all the different voice setting ranging from Arabic to Italian. At the moment I have the genius Homer Simpson guiding me around from a-b. This got me thinking, which are the best celebrity voices for your Tom Tom?
1: Snoop Dogg
The American gangster rapper lets you know the directions with his West Coast shizzle bizzle. As Snoop himself says “Ride round with voice of a real superhero Dogg” and “Chuuch on da move yall” instuctions such as “Sharp left, yeah, so fly” let you know exactly which way to go. There is apparently some adult content.
2: Homer Simpson
The yellow man himself guides you around the streets, as you arrive he congratulates you with the phrase “You have reached your destination and you can hold your head up high cos you are a genius”, he could also get excited trying to find an icecream and occasionally sarcastically reminds you that “A thank you would be nice”.
3: Elvis
The king himself musically lets you know which way to turn, as he sings directions to you complete with live band intervals after each direction and the prominent voice of Mr Elvis Presley telling you “Elvis has left the car, Thankyou and goodnight” as you reach your destination.

Asahi’s Beer Pouring Robot
Here’s a match made in heaven: beer and robots. For most of the world, it’s a match we are left to simply dream of (you know, slave bots bringing you a cold one, instead of the usual “Get it yourself!”) What do these lovely creatures do? Well, aside from stocking and cooling up to six cans of beer and two mugs, upon the press of a button, the machine will open up a can, and pour in into the mug with a perfect head every time.
PC Beer Dispenser
If a beer dispensing case mod is not the most incredible and delicious hack known to man, then we don’t know what is.

India of course…..The land of all technical miracles!
How many times do people have a problem with their computers and have to phone the technical helpline?
Eventually they will get through to a call centre in India, where they have to go through the usual questions….”Is it plugged in?” “Do you have an orange light on your monitor?” etc etc……Well here is a shining example of why your PC probably broke down in the first place and possibly why they can’t help you to fix it and you have to box it up and send it away for repair!

Here it is…..the world’s most expensive iphone. Named “Princess Plus” it will cost just a mere $176,400 (I will have two!!!). The Princess Plus was designed and created by Austrian luxury designer and jeweller Peter Aloisson and has no less than 319 diamonds attached to it and 138 princess cut diamonds (hence the name!), and 180 brilliant cut. Now apparently, Princess cut diamonds are square and Brilliant cut diamonds are the most popular kind of diamonds which resembles the shape of a cone and is meant to maximize light return through the top of it.

I recently upgraded my mobile phone to the Nokia N95. Although this is a very good phone and does everything except make your dinner, Built in GPS Navigation, 5 megapixel camera with Carl Zeiss optics, MP3 player and Wi-fi connections (including lots more!)
I am really missing the smileys when texting………Or should I say……I WAS really missing the smileys!! Eventually I have found a link which you can use to download smileys onto your N95. Unfortunately, this can only be done with Nokia N95’s which are bought in Hong Kong……..or so it says!! (more…)
