In the last few years I’ve made the discovery that I am in fact a hat person. I have a couple of hats that people tend to refer to as “old man hats,” though I don’t know what they are really called. During the winter months I tend to prefer my Nintendo beanie, which keeps my ears much warmer. I’ve never really had an issue listening to music with it on, as the beanie tends to help keep the earbuds in. However, if you don’t want to mess with those pesky earbuds in the winter, you can always get a beanie with built-in headphones. The Took Beanie Headset hat should keep you plenty warm with its 100% wool design. (Read the full post about ‘Took Beanie features removable headphones’…)

Asus has a new cooling fan in town, the Triton 79. This is definitely one of the more stylish fans I have ever laid my eyes on, supporting both Intel Core 2 Extreme/Core 2 Quad Quad-Core and AMD Athlon 64 FX/X2 Dual Core processors, making it ideal for hardware enthusiasts and hardcore gamers. Features include a nickel-plating copper base, a quartet of copper heat pipes, aluminum fins and PWM function. Despite having a 12cm fan, it operates at a relatively low 18dBA which ought not be a problem for most people. Each purchase comes in a deluxe limited edition package that has an ultra-exclusive identification card typed with a limited-edition serial number.

I know - this is another day of “wow that’s a gadget I would have never thought of” here at Coolest gadgets. You all will recall the friggin’ awesome Steak Toaster from last week (which is still the most awesome thing ever) - and now this week we have an innovation in bread slicing. I know what you’re thinking - “bread slicing? Is that the best thing since sliced bread?” as you dissolve into giggles at your own cleverness. Again, some clever (but slightly twisted) individual took a look at his salad shooter, then at his baguette lying on the counter and though “dude, I need something to shoot sliced baguette!” Thus the Robot Coupe Bread Slicer was born.

Posted Feb 28th 2008 4:03AM by Ryan BlockFiled under: Gaming, HDTV Although Samsung’s billing these plasmas as being “3D ready”, what they mean to say is that they apparently did some tweaking with game mega-developer EA to ensure their two latest 1080p plasmas — in 42 and 50-inch sizes — play games well. The HDMI 1.3, USB, and supposed 1m:1 contrast ratio don’t exactly hurt, either.[Via Akihabara News] (Read the full post about ‘Samsung announces two gamer plasmas for Korea’…)

The SoMo 650 handheld computer is different from what you can find in the market these days, as Socket Communications have managed to include an anti-bacterial plastic in its construction for use in healthcare and other markets which include hygiene-sensitive environments. Other than hospitals, why not make all the other devices these days using the same material, especially in public places where elevator buttons, escalator handrails and public phones could be a vehicle for spreading disease?

Those saddened by the demise of the Polaroid instant film cameras might invest some hope in this concept digital equivalent. It’s nothing more than a normal LCD photo frame, but the styling is distinctly Polaroid.The bottom panel is a dry-erase board, so you can annotate and title the pictures, and the imagined specifications include a memory card slot and multi-mode slide shows, including “Classic Mode”, where the photo slowly fades into view, just like the real thing: In Classic mode, you can try shaking the frame to make the photo fade into view more quickly, but it won’t really do anything.The kick-stand will rotate to let you pin the frame to a wall or cork board.

The humble cylindrical shape of the soda can has for many years ‘done what is says on the tin’ (excuse the pun). But fortunately some smart people at Neux Corp have decided that it can now be used to contain the wonder of portable audio. The NXMP324 supports MP3, WMA, WMV, WAV and ASF file formats with ID3 tags and lyrics display. Other, perhaps unexpected features, as any “feature” would be expected from a tin can, include an FM radio, voice recorder, OLED screen and 7 EQ settings. The device comes with either 128MB, 256MB, 512MB, 1GB, 2GB or 4GB of memory and is available in your choice of blue or red.

The Aroma Waker concept by Abio Genesis plays on the fact that a particular scent is capable of transforming our moods instantly - who can forget those freshly baked cookies that grandma used to make, being the best in the neighborhood? The Aroma Water merges an aroma diffuser into a standard alarm clock, allowing you to program your “mood swings” simply by setting the clock. I wonder just how many scents there are on sale - guess the answer would be unlimited, since the Aroma Waker is but a concept at this point in time. (Read the full post about ‘Aroma Waker Concept’…)
