The Ultimate Triton follows its own road

Posted by Yogesh Kumar On December - 29 - 2009

Triton

I am one of the most bike enthusiasts for whom the difference between fast and slow, comfort and pain, safe and unsafe matters a lot. This is where the CP Project One comes in to fit the best part of the best bike builders as well as of enthusiasts. It would not be an overstatement to call their recent work: Triton which is a dream bike for all enthusiasts.

This gorgeous Triton was built by the extraordinarily talented Daniel Delfour, one of France’s leading motorcycle builders and is the brainchild of Vincent Prat from Southsiders MC and French designers Frank Charriaut. Actually, there is a story behind ‘CP Project #1′. It was totally inspired by a trip to the 2008 Legend Of The Motorcycle event held in California; Delfour’s exquisite Norton Ala’verda caused a stir there, so the three friends made plans for a sequel.

The design was to create a low-slung and very slim motorcycle, all in black. A leading French fashion house was on board by this point, and the tightly imposed specifications proved to be a challenge. Frank, Delfour carved multi-part moulds for the bodywork in plywood, balancing the shapes and volumes of the tank and seat until the styling came together as a whole. Its featherbed frame is spacious whereas a Triumph 750 Bonneville engine is compact.

Its engine was rebuilt to original specifications by using a TR7 single-carburetor head instead of using the fussier stock twin-carb item. From French master builder Momo (who not only painted the bodywork in a black flake and the frame in gloss black), the visual finishing touches came, but created the exhaust system and heat guards also.

The finished motorcycle was then handed over to Benoit Gerry from Studio Ze for the first image captures. I hope you would like Triton.

Time for Classic Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso Duo Watches

Posted by Isha Farhad On December - 29 - 2009

Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso DuoI am going to gift a gorgeous watch to my father on his birthday which comes in January. He always wears a stylish, beautiful, latest and different from ordinary watches. So, I think nothing is best than Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso Duo watch.

Today, the Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso is one of the most classic watches out there still being made and it is a contemporary avatar to its classic predecessor Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso, whose metallic face was to protect the watch during polo matches.

In some top 10 list, easily up there, if one was ever to be established. The Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso Duo is one of the most classic and simple, but still interesting Reverso models being sold today. According to the users, the original Reverso watches did not have dual faces. One side was metal to protect the watch during polo matches. When Jaeger-LeCoultre revived the Reverso watch then they decided to put the other side of the watch to better use and give the timepiece two faces.

Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso Duo really combines modern usefulness, masculinity and elegance in its new embrace.

So, who are looking for a classic with modern usefulness or a trying to add “must have” watches to your collection the Reverso Duo is a good choice. But its price is not cheap, neither is the quality in the $6,000 to $9,000 range (i.e. higher for gold). So, for those who want larger watches or want with additional levels of complications, the Reverso line has you covered.

Datamancer launches the Sojourner Keyboard

Sojourner KeyboardDuring this Christmas festival, if you have missed any of the limited editions and if you are still looking for that holiday gift then I think nothing can be better than the “Sojourner” Keyboard which is from the house of Datamancer.

This amazing keyboard is crafted in polished brass and its artificially tarnished makes it look like it had been traveling for ages with some explorer. The slightly weathered keys electroplated in brass perfectly and are quite striking against the aged leather faceplate and parchment key inserts.

These art works are instant sellouts as it is with the steampunkish designs and remains unclear if it is still in stock.

So, you have still a good time for this gift as you are having New Year holidays also.

chopper-yachtThe world’s most expensive chopper of price $22.7 million would definitely annoy any chopper lover. For the  delight of any adventure lover, its price tag includes a 45-meter luxury transoceanic yacht also. The House of Thunder, Lubek, Germany custom bike builders have taken the term ‘boys toys’ to a new level. They claim to have built the world’s most expensive chopper at the price of £14.2 million. The House of Thunder collaborated with Turkey-based Yacht manufacturer Sunrise Yachts.

This incredible 45 metre yatch with a rear garage that houses two jet skis, a rescue-boat and a custom Harley-Davidson, built and painted to match the boat’s livery. This bike is based on a stock Harley Rocker with hand-fashioned fenders, a cleaned-up frame and fuel tank. It also includes the features of a foldable handlebar allowing the bike to be lifted out and in of ‘parking position’ in the small garage in the rear of the boat.

Eric Vauth of House of Thunder had said that they will still build their normal custom bikes for their customers but this is a completely new market and they always welcome new impulses for markets.

So, the World’s most expensive chopper comes with a free yacht. What do you say?

USB 3.0 DisplayLink Video launching in 2010

Posted by Kamleshwar Bhatt On December - 26 - 2009

USB 3.0DisplayLink Inc. has open its plans to launch a chip which enables video to run in “SuperSpeed” USB 3.0 standard devices by the end of 2010 that would allow its use in consumer products by the next Christmas.

DisplayLink enables monitors to receive signals via USB instead of through the more conventional cables that have been successful with USB 2.0. But a new world is about to open up with the launch of USB 3.0.

The third iteration offers up over ten times the bandwidth of v2.0 that would allow for best resolution support when channeling video. Really, USB 3.0 is the first USB protocol which could support a legitimate high-def video stream.

It is expected that a prototype device will be shown at CES next month transmitting content up to 4.8 gigabits per second. At least, USB 3.0-enabled DisplayLink would allow 30-inch panels to be connected to netbooks via USB without having rely on a sub-native resolution, but said netbooks will probably need a GPU with more oomph than the current Ion can offer.

So, it will take time to come. But yes on the next Christmas, you will have this product.

Color-Changing Contact Lenses help Diabetics

Posted by Isha Farhad On December - 24 - 2009

contact lensesResearchers from the University of Western Ontario receive grant to develop color-changing contacts lenses that act as a glucose monitoring system for diabetics. They might be a bit closer to make them a reality as they have received a $200,000+ grant now from the Canada Foundation for Innovation to develop this technology.

The secret to their contacts are extremely small nanoparticles which are embedded in the hydrogel lenses that like some same systems (like those pictured at right), react to the glucose molecules in tears and cause a chemical reaction which changes the color of the lenses. When their blood sugar is too high or too low then thereby, informing the wearer. The reseachers said that the same idea could have a wide range of other applications also beyond glucose monitoring but for instance, being used in food packaging to indicate if the food is contaminated or spoiled.

The nanocomposite hydrogel lenses could render those pesky e-waste-generating blood-glucose meters obsolete that will allow diabetics to monitor potentially life-threatening variations without missing a thing in their sugar levels.

From the Canada Foundation, Professor Jin Zhang received $216,342 for Innovation on Wednesday to develop the multifunctional nanocomposite technology further that has applications from measuring pathogenic contamination in produce to improve the biodegradability of food packaging.

So, I wish this would be beneficial for diabetics.

Gibson launches the Jimmy Page ‘Number Two’ Les Paul

Posted by Abhyudaya Tripathi On December - 24 - 2009

Gibson GuitarsGood news is there for those who love the impacting sound of electric music that the Gibson Custom Shop has launched the Jimmy Page “Number Two” Les Paul. It looks faded, weathered as it looks with every Les Paul Standard. It has a beautiful sunburst finish with a red element which fades to amber-brown with a clear serial number dating it to 1959 and produced in a limited edition of 325 only, with two levels of aging:

Panasonic-3dcamThe HD 3D drumbeat continues with broadcasters around the world pushing forward 2010 plans to bring 3D home HDMI that has updated the course of its newest 1.4 spec to ensure compatibility between boxes and displays.

Existing cable and satellite hardware will not to be held to the similar requirements as videogame and Blu-ray equipment rocking the 3D sticker. Expecting compatibility with displays is on the way, since they will not be passing the same high bandwidth, high quality dual-stream 1080p images anyway.

To officially support “Top/Bottom” 3D transmissions, some broadcasters are pushing for HDMI that they plan to use that sacrifice resolution while saving bandwidth by shoving right/ left images into a single frame.

This should add a complete new angle to the line counting and claims of “HDLite” all viewers can do is wait when or if their hardware will get a software upgrade to 3D just like the one I expect will allow the PS3 to play 3D Blu-ray discs in the years and months to come, once there is a standard all can adhere to obviously.

Is BlackBerry services down in North America?

Posted by Isha Farhad On December - 23 - 2009

BlackBerry 9700BlackBerry everything on the Fritz? BlackBerrys are always supposed to do some things well:

1) Grab your email in real time off an Exchange server
2) Make you look important
3) Work.

Though, it seems that many are working on our third major North American outage here in less than one month, with the reports flowing in that users connected to BIS are having trouble with web browsing, Messenger and apps that consume data (email is though inexplicably unaffected).

Being reported by users, data service issues look:

Update 1: BlackBerry data is no more. No emails, no BlackBerry messenger, no web browsing, for its North American users.

Update 2: BlackBerry Messenger and things like the apps and web browser that use a data connection. Though, email seems ok. And it also seems not all subscribers and not all carriers are affected.

Update 3: It seems that upgrading to the new version of BlackBerry Messenger may resolve some of the BBM issues. So, if you can manage to get it loaded up, you might have some life again.

Update 4: There is the current Google Search Results for “BlackBerry” that makes for some additional fun reading to kill the time.

So, let’s wait for more details.
