Print photos during your picnic with Canon SELPHY CP770 printer

This portable photo printer looks like a Sanrio lunch bucket for kids, which is perfect actually, as it gives off the impression of something light and easy to carry (which it is). The compact Canon SELPHY CP770 photo printer is one of the newer additions to Canon's SELPHY line of compact photo printers, and seems made for that person who is just so impatient to print photos that he/she must print while the party is still going on.

The actual printer is the top part of the bucket; the basket space is used to store your paper and other supplies. Comes with an A/C cable, but with an optional Canon battery pack, you can take this anywhere. When you're ready to print, you can either insert your camera's memory card into one of the slots on the printer, or print wirelessly from your Bluetooth-enabled camera phone. Maximum paper size is 4x8. Big buttons, large display for previewing your photos (2.5" TFT display), and automatic red-eye correction make this very user-friendly, even for grandma.

Quite a good idea for kids' birthday parties, Bar/Bat Mitzvahs, family reunions and such - because, seriously, who really has time to go back home, print out photos, put them in envelopes and mail them out to people? Of course, you can email digital photos in many different ways, but there are still people who don't know how to (or simply never will) download or print them. Besides, doesn't this printing bucket promise the same kind of fun that we had with Polaroids? Who doesn't like to watch silly images of themselves materialize in their hands while they're still posing?

The SELPHY CP770 is available for $149 at Amazon.

Totally pointless but fun Zihotch Retro Phone Watch

Now that we mostly don't need traditional wristwatches to urgently tell us the time, playful watch designs seem to have largely replaced the utilitarian digital watches of old. You can go sci-fi futuristic with watches from Tokyoflash or go the other direction and get something like this Zihotch Retro Phone Watch from AudioCubes.com, which reminds you of the olden days of rotary dial phones (you can pick it up for $80). Made by Japanese company Maywadenki, it's a rather huge piece if you have a tiny wrist, so it might be more appropriate as a Halloween costume if you go dressed as an old style phone booth.

危機解除！駭客解決Wii 3.3更新了！

雖然老任試圖藉由Wii Menu 3.3更新來阻止Homebrew Channel的傳播，不過這次的更新實在太微弱，駭客們很快的就發現這次更新只是虛有其表─他並沒有真的補上Twilight Hack，而只是阻止進度檔的複製而已。很快的，有駭客宣稱找到了新的破解，雖然還沒有公布，我猜應該是讓複製檔案的動作可以進行而已？不論如何，大家很快就可以放心按下更新鈕囉！

在高油價的時代裡，我們需要細菌便便

[撰文：Judy/原文連結]

位於加州矽谷的LS9公司表示，「原油2.0」就快出現囉！這種新型原油是從經過基因改造的細菌所「排泄」出來，不僅再生且不含碳，這些單細胞生物經過特殊發酵處理，可以將任何農業廢料轉化成再生原油(renewable petroleum)。

原油2.0最大的好處在於利用現有的東西轉化成另一項產品，所以不用將現有的加油站改裝成氫燃料加油站或是充電站，LS9需要做的便是將足夠的細菌排泄物發酵成原油，目前他們計畫用木屑和麥秸作為細菌的飼料，因此原油2.0不能算是能源作物，也不會消耗掉目前價格也居高不下的糧食作物。

原油2.0聽起來就像個夢幻產品，比較需要擔心的，只有這些細菌萬一「逃」出來，是否會影響到當地的生態環境，但在油價高漲的現代，這也算不太上太大的隱憂。如果LS9順利開發成功，他們估計每桶原油成本大約在美金50元(約台幣一千五百多塊)，LS9並計畫在2010年之前開始量產。
