Sharkoon Rush FireGlider: The flame-painted hot rod of gaming mice

Sharkoon Rush FireGlider: The flame-painted hot rod of gaming miceWeight-adjustable mice are nothing new, they just tend to get ignored. Sharkoon(The company that can’t decide if it’s a shark or a raccoon) is hoping that a fiery exterior will get your attention. It not only has the flame motiff, but the slug chamber looks like the chamber in a gun. Probably symbolic of you biting the bullet and actually buying one.

So to summarize, the Rush FireGlider has flames, a no-slip grip, a half dozen programmable buttons, maximum resolution of 3,600 DPI, Teflon feet for superior gliding and an internal tuning system to adjust its weight from 118 to 135 grams. Oh yeah and the bullet chamber thing.

Sonic Lighter app for iPhone

Posted in iPhone by Conner Flynn on September 17th, 2008

Sonic Lighter app for iPhoneSonic Lighter is a new app from Smule that let’s you flick your Bic, so to speak. It gives yoyr iPhone a simulated flame that you can control by touch or tilt. Start the display and light your fire. If you like, breathe on the device to control or extinguish the flicker. Just be careful others are not laughing at you nearby. I know what you’re thinking. All this for 99 cents? Freakin amazing right?

But it is capable of so much more. Like, if you find yourself without a lighter during a concert for instance. And because it contains a sonic modem that lets you ignite nearby Smule-enabled phones, you could “spread your light” and maybe really liven up said concert. Smule even has a nifty World Wide Ignition Map that traces recently lit flames around the globe. Cheesy? You bet ya. Now if it detected farts jettisoned out of your Levi’s and ignited nearby flames accordingly, I’d be impressed. It doesn’t take much really. Just innovate a little. C’mon people.
