Sticky Notes Lets You Leave Notes On Light Switches
Post its. Post its and their adhesive cousins. Both are incredibly tiresome the way they clutter available surfaces to remind us of dreadful things. Dreadful things like buy milk or feed the pet snail. Anyway, if Post its and similar papers that are used to convey short messages aren’t that useful (i.e. they’re ignored) then a more illuminating alternative might be necessary.
Tokyoflash UV Index LCD Watch Concept
We have featured quite a few different geeky watches here at Geeky Gadgets, the latest one is a concept design from the guys over at Tokyoflash, the IV index LCD touchscreen watch.
As with most of the concepts from Tokyoflash, we will probably see this one end up in their store at some point in the future, and it is designed to display the current UV index as well as tell the time.
Mac OS X Lion Gold Master Released To Developers
We know that Mac OS X Lion will be available from the Mac App Store some time this month, last week we heard a rumor that OS X Lion would be released this Wednesday the 6th of July, and now that looks like it could end up being the actual release date.
Apple has released Mac OS X Lion Gold Master (GM) to developers, which is the final release before it is released to everyone, which would mean that we can expect it to appear in the Mac App Store very soon.
HardlyWork.in Lets You Camouflage Your Facebook Activity
Lovely Facebook. When history is written, how shall ye be judged? Big questions aside, seen below is an Excel spreadsheet. But wait, it’s not! It’s a Faceook feed! What? Yes, a Facebook feed in disguise. See, there’s this website called HardlyWork.in that allows users to convert their Facebook activity to an unassuming Excel sheet. The funny part is everything that’s written on the faux Excel sheet is a newsfeed. Aaahhh.

As you can see from the video below, the Quadrotor is controlled using hand movements, movement is controlled using the right hand and the left hand can be used to make it flip.
Come 2015 South Korean Education Will Be Fully Digitized
Maybe tabletized is the better choice of word. As the world leader in punishing academics, South Korea is about to embark on a multi-billion dollar effort to introduce tablets to every classroom in ever school. The total cost of the program is in the neighborhood of $2 billion dollars. It’s unclear if North Korea would bother on a similar boost to their educational system though.
iPhone 4 Prototype Appears On eBay
Another iPhone 4 prototype has appeared on eBay, although we are not sure if this one was actually found in a bar, it is currently listed on eBay with a bid of overt $100,000.
According to the guys over at This Is My Next, the iPhone 4 prototype is similar to the model that Gizmodo got their hands on last year, and it features the code DF1692 etched on the casing, which is a unique number so Apple can keep track of its prototypes.
City Of Light Book Lamp Is Great For Bedside Reading
It’s actually not called City of Light (instead it’s the Book of Light), but hey, the title works. City of Light is the work of writer Lauren Belfer. Seen below is the hardcover volume of hers that was gutted to make a nice reading lamp. Believe us, it’s totally gutted. But alas, genius can never be achieved without a requisite amount of chaos and destruction.
Okay, that was overreacting a bit. What designer Steve Hoefer did was to remove (more like tear out the books innards and create a frame inside to fit a lamp). The result is wonderful accessory for the bedside that, to be honest, probably won’t make a nice reading lamp.

FPS Enthusiasts Can Now Go To War With The XCM XFPS Commando PRO
Since huge FPS franchises are rolling out this year, it comes as no surprise that XCm have outed a particularly attractive keyboard mouse combo. Take note, however, as this isn’t your regular keyboard mouse combo—it’s specifically tool for us ein console gaming. Since shooting terrorists/aliens/bad guys in general/Ultranationalists is often better on a console, XCM have come up with a nice conversion controller that brings PC flexibility to the gaming experience.
