NaturalRecorder: Series 60 Call Recorder

naturalwidgetsnaturalrecorder.jpg imageNatural Widgets' NaturalRecorder is a Series 60 piece of software that allows you to record all your phone calls without any intervention on your part (besides installing and configuring the software). Previous cell conversation recorders suffered from memory management issues, but NaturalRecorder will fill your phone's memory up to the brim before it starts overwriting previous conversations. You can easily flag older conversations to be saved or select numbers not to record (your bookie, etc.).

Apparently the software emits a gentle beep every few seconds to let you (and your callers) know they're being taped, so it's use in blackmailing will be limited (although, "my battery is dying" might work for a minute or two). The software lets you play the recordings back right on your phone, and presumably, if your phone allow, one could also transfer them to your computer. $11.95, available now.

Mac mini as Plasma Parasite

macmini_plasma.jpgThere is a beauty here, to see this Mac mini violently seizing the back of this plasma screen. A tiny parasite, forcing its will onto the giant host, preempting sitcom reruns for flashing Jobsian indoctrination. And who would have thought the method of this plasma display's utter consumption would be two zip ties? They tie with deadly efficiency.

Keitai Vyuun! Wind-Up Phones (But Not How You Think)

zoomphone.jpgIt's important not to do anything useful ever. At the very minimum, one should only do enough to pay for toys that keep us amused, like these "Keitai Vyuun!" which translates to something like "Mobile Phone Zoom!" which translates exactly to a set of stick-on, wind-up wheels for your mobile phone. Useful is for people that have a future, like robots and cockroaches. We might as well race our squawk boxes until the dark clouds settle upon us all.
