Gadgets, let it be awesome or lulsy, go here.

Despite its inability to recharge itself, measure the current temperature, air pressure and directional bearings, this watch still looks kind of cool.

And if you count 'deception' and 'unpossible learning curve' as security features, more bonus points for it.

That would be a badass count-down timer for a bomb.

If that watch was about 50 usd lower and I didn't already have their "shinshoku" I would totally buy that.

If they have the light-up panel as cobalt blue-ish, I'll buy it.

A petty advantage, but it makes freeloaders who peek at my watch get alienated.

That's what I love about their watches, so many people get confused around it, or in the shinshoku's case, think you have to wear a gps transmitter for some reason.

What a coincidence, that's the same phone my supervisor bought only about a week or two ago.

Damn, I really want a HMD (read: scouter) for computing use but I just can't find one that looks appealing in both specs and hardware appearance. I tried checking all of SSP and Mong Kok for one but they really seem to be marketed as 'specialist goods' (similar to the Zoom H2 Audio Recorder) right now.

Edit: Violent Turtle rape.

HTC Diamond? Meh, htc sucks.

Nokia ftw.

And I want that Rogue watch... Green panel = I can break it for Final Fusion... maybe.

Green panels? Doesn't the G-Shock series have green illuminations as well (beyond the usual light blue)?

Yeah, mine's G-stone green <3

But I can't access Tokyoflash's page because of IP block. Know where I can buy the Rogue? Since the official HK retailer (Street Value/100 mg) doesn't carry it yet.

...and having accessed TokyoFlash's webpage and seen their handy little guide for it, complete with pointing out what does what - and what time it is on the current clock...

...not only is it simple to understand, but now I fucking want it. :lol:

One of the perks of that watch is just the confusion factor from the rude commoner who tries to read your watch right behind you. XD

Does that save you on shipping and handling RGG?

My order got canceled because I used a credit card issued from HS fucking BC in Hong Kong... even though the delivery is Japan... ugh. Idiots.

This is tough shit.

I have been meaning to buy one of these for a while, mainly because I have to transfer data back and forth systems at work and during an academic year and it has the (tested) durability of being run over by typical road-run vehicles without scratching.

I saw one for a bargain price today (around $35 USD), so I got it out of impulse.

I dunno. The only way your USB is going to get hit be any moving vehicle is if you lobbed it on the road or got hit by one...

And I doubt lost data would be the top of your worries.

Other possible scenarios would be if it snagged onto something while moving quickly or if I dropped it with the inertia of movement causing it to go an unexpectedly long distance.

Or it could be one of those cliche' movie setups where it stops a bullet or stabbing/slashing weapon.

In which case, again, data loss is probably the least of your worries. Maybe a plane hijack or terrorists in UK.

I am aware of that.

Still one worry less when handling terrorist cases or another school shooting as you said.

You could throw it at someone and hope they pass out.

Maybe throwing it while shouting "PROGRAM DRIIIIIIIIIVE".

Headlines: TERRORIST KILLED BY USB DRIVE AT HIGH VELOCITY. WHAT HAS SCIENCE DONE?
