No matter how much they’ve improved over the years, panty liners are still uniformly uncomfortable (and, though this may be beside the point, someone please explain to me how panty liners for thongs make any sense at all). Until now, the only other option has been to deal with staining - by intense chemical laundering or simply throwing out panties on a regular basis as if they were disposable. A new panty has come to market with the mission to solve this problem once and for all - it promises no staining and no leaking, so that you can dispense with panty liners altogether without facing the unpleasant consequences of not using them. Luxury Liner is made of “Wick-Stop” fabric, which traps moisture and prevents stains from coming through.

MP3 players are one of my favorite gadgets of all-time. Back in the day I used to carry around my portable CD player almost everywhere. I believe there was a time that I had a cassette player, but I would have been pretty young. But CD players were bulky, they skipped and they required you to carry around one of those annoying CD wallets as well. With an MP3 player, you just load it up with tunes from your computer, grab your headphones and you’re good to go. Now wouldn’t it be great if we could trim that down to just the headphones? That’s what SkullCandy has decided to do. Their newest headphones feature a slot for an SD card. Just pop in a card that’s loaded with your music and that’s it.

With the monitor size war that we are currently seeing in Japan, one could be forgiven for thinking that the future is big in flat screen technology. I do not think that this is the case at all. Most of the massive monitors on the market are too big for regular homes and the price tags will only fall so far. Enormous panels cost a lot of money. This concept by Westinghouse is much more interesting. Instead of building the biggest monitor on the market, they have opted for higher definition, Quad Full HD (3840 x 2160) to be precise.

Posted Jan 10th 2008 10:36AM by Thomas RickerFiled under: Misc. GadgetsIn an overdue move sure to delight tech journos and consumers alike, Matsushita is changing its name to Panasonic. Sure, it was a tough decision to discard the name of its founder after a 90 year reign. But let’s face it, the dual-naming scheme hurt both brands and created confusion in the global marketplace. The change goes official on October 1st, pending approval by shareholders.Tags: cameras, pvr, hi fi, laptops, camera, robots, DVD, mobile devices, gizmos, dap (Read the full post about ‘Matsushita to become Panasonic, everywhere — thank you Panny’…)

At CES, booth owners will do almost anything to get your attention, from “booth babes” to all sorts of silly give-aways, to gimmicks such as the oxygen bar at the wall mounting solutions company Vantage Point. Attendess looked for a quick hit of energy but remained apathetic to the product pitch. Meanwhile, at Showstoppers on Monday night, exhausted show-goers enjoyed a short massage. I’d listen to a sales pitch for anything after one of those. (Read the full post about ‘CES booth gimmicks’…)
