GEEK CHIC : WINBOT (I so need this in my life)

Wow! It's been a while since did a "GEEK CHIC" post. This one comes from LIKE WHOA! blog.

Winbot, as its name suggests, cleans windows. The square shaped robotic couple goes on the two sides of the window and they are held together by strong magnetic force. The information available of the robot is scarce, but it seems that both modules have a microfiber cleaning cloth cleaning head, and both units carry a bumper for collision detection. Only one of the two parts contain the drive motor for moving around. The robot covers the window in a systematic manner, and is able to cover both sides of a 6 sqm (64.5 sqft) glass with one charge. The 1.5 A Li-Ion battery of Winbot can be recharged in an hour. Winbot will be available later in 2011 for around $399.

WATCH THIS : DON'T MESS WITH SIRI

"If I can't have my iPhone then no one can!" (Aatma Studio CEO Pramod Modi Shantharam) 
That's the inspiration behind the hidden feature on the new iPhone 5. Mission Impossible junkies rejoice, your dream has come true! If your phone is stolen and someone enters the wrong password 3 times, the phone will self-destruct. This would be a nightmare for Johanne because she is always forgetting her passwords (she's going to be so mad I wrote that). Source Mashable.

FASHION FILE : GLOW IN THE DARK PANTS

While so many beautiful collections graced the runways this week at NY Fashion Week Fall 2012, I had yet to find something with some real break-out COOL factor. In my fervent search... I stumbled upon Hudson Jeans LouLou Glow Stripe Pants, tuxedo-inspired pants which feature a stripe on each leg that glows under black light. I mean hello!!! This is what I was looking for! Now these aren't the first glow in the dark jeans on the market. Naked & Famous Denim created glow jeans where the entire pant glowed in the dark. I'm just not sure that I'd want to be walking around like I took a dip in a nuclear pool... know what I'm sayin'? I am a strong believer of: “too much of a good thing can go bad.” The Hudson LouLou pant gives you just enough of the glow effect with the side stripe. They even had a fabulous concept for the NYFW F2012 launch where they took over the NY meat-packing district with an event they called the “Phosphorecent Invasion.” It was a brilliant mélange of performance art and black-light rave which featured the glowing denim. That is so cool! Get your pair of these amazing creations at Hudson.

GEEK CHIC: TOUCH PANEL KEYBOARD

If your girl is anything like mine, the keys on your computer's keyboard are often gently covered in makeup (I gotta be careful). That's why I am so excited about this technological marvel. The Cool Leaf keyboard by Japanese company, Minebea is just a thing of beauty. After much anticipation by the digital community, it is rumored to launch sometime in mid 2012. Watch this to see how it works. Sexy, sleek keyboard that is easy to keep clean... that's cool!
