Precious: Lord Of The Rings Bag End Bonsai Tree
Author: Melissa Shroeder
This is a bonsai tree with a little Lord of the Rings Bag End theme created by Chris Guise of Bonsai Empire. Now I know what you’re thinking, and same — I want to live there too. Unfortunately we’re both too big for that. At least I am, maybe you were born ‘Indian in the Cupboard’ size. And if you were, forget about living next to a bonsai tree, I’ll give you $ 50 a day to let me carry you around in my pocket. $ 60 if you promise to never punch me in the nuts.
Hit the jump for a bunch more including closeups and the tree during fall and winter.

Google updates PageSpeed Service so you don’t waste precious seconds waiting for pages to load
Author: Randy Miller
Last year, Google launched its PageSpeed Service, aspiring to improve our experience across the web while supposedly deferring its own monetary interests. The idea was sound– comparable services like Akamai work to accelerate web surfing by caching pages in much the exact same method– but there’s always room for improvement. The most recent PageSpeed beta utilizes some straightforward techniques to enhance performance even further, using a new rewriter called “Cache and Prioritize Visible Material.” Using this new device, your web browser will certainly load content that appears “above the fold” prior to bring text and pictures that would certainly be initially hidden on the page, while additionally focusing on other material ahead of Javascript, which often isn’t really required as quickly as even more standard elements. Finally, for pages that contain HTML that isn’t cacheable, such as when customized info is returned, common portions of the website are cached and featured right away, while additional content bunches typically. The brand-new tool isn’t really an ideal fit for every webpage, but we’ll take a boost anywhere we can get it.

Daw, Isn’t That Precious?: A Robot Tea Infuser
Author: James Cliff
He’s not really precious, I was just saying that. Kind of like how you say it about other people’s babies even though they look like fleshy little doughballs. This is a $ 15 tea infuser in robot form. I assume (based on his joints) that the arms and hands are adjustable to grasp any mug, because otherwise somebody can’t design a decent product to save their life. Or take pictures of one. WTF — how is the water brown when Beepboop there doesn’t even have any tea leaves in him?! SPOILER: He shat in it. That’s doodoo water now.

Mobiado’s Grand Touch phones ditch the Nexus S plastic for a precious metal finish
Author: Charity Woods
Nothing quite screams money to burn like last year’s tech gilded in pricey, CNC-machined metals. Purveyor of mobile extravagance, Mobiado, has recently rolled out the red carpet for two new additions to its Grand Line — the Grand Touch and Grand Touch GCB. These high-end exercises in wireless hauteur are merely gussied up versions of Samsung’s Nexus S, sporting the same ol’ 1GHz Hummingbird processor, 16GB of storage, 512MB RAM, 4-inch Super LCD display and front-facing VGA / 5 megapixel rear camera. Available in either anodized aluminum or solid brass with gold plating (take a guess which is costlier), the sapphire crystal-backed duo comes unlocked with quad-band GSM, and tri-band UMTS / HSDPA radios, so you can stay connected aboard that yacht in St. Tropez.

Beta Shell Lens Cases Will Protect Your Precious Glass From Bear Attacks
Author: Rod Sutherland
If you think bear attacks aren’t a major cause of scratched or otherwise damaged lenses, you’re obviously not serious enough a photographer to require the Beta Shell lens cases. These are for the photographer who does a lot of interplanetary travel, or likes to pepper his luggage with buckshot. What, you don’t believe we do it? BLAM! Get outta here or the next one’s in your tuchus!
Uhh, to return to the cases. They’re made of super-rigid plastic, and the screw-down top forms a waterproof seal. No, not the animal. Besides, all seals are waterproof. The animals, I mean. Anyway. Inside the case is some nice foam, which I’m sure is very fancy. Visco-elastic foam, they call it. Well, all foam like that is visco-elastic, that’s why we call it foam. You put your lens in there and it holds it with its little foam grippers, and it’s as safe as safe can be.
See?
You can get different sizes for different lenses here. Most of the popular lenses from Canon and Nikon have cans, and Pentax and Sony and such lenses will almost certainly fit in as well, but no guarantees.

Samsung Galaxy S sporting Gorilla Glass to protect that precious AMOLED
Author: Stacey Cook
Remember this horribly painful video? The Gorilla Glass protection on the Dell Streak is undoubtedly a selling point, and now Corning, the maker of said glass, has announced that the Samsung Galaxy S (which includes the Vibrant, Captivate, Fascinate, and Epic 4G in its brood) employs the same alkali-aluminosilicate glass shield. The glass is similar to the “helicopter windshield” stuff Apple uses on the iPhone 4, which was rumored to be Gorilla Glass at one point, and while neither tech is impervious to shattering, they certainly can take a beating — but just try and do that pen stab torture test while we’re not looking, alright? We don’t have the stomach to witness another beautiful Android handset so roughly handled. PR is after the break.

BookBook Case Turns iPad into One-Inch Leather-Bound Slab
Author: Angela Chin
The BookBook case for the iPad, from Apple accessory makers TwelveSouth, swaddles your precious tablet in a thick slathering of dead-cow, its hand-crafted, hand-distressed covers recalling beautifully bound books of old. It zips shut to keep out the dust, and the padded inner-chamber also contains a string and a button on either side to help make a stable a-shaped stand. It’s lovely, and will probably last way longer than your iPad.
It is also thick, doubling the depth of Apple’s slim tablet to an inch. And remember, the iPad only measures an in in its thickest part, while the BookBook will be that fat everywhere. TwelveSouth’s other BookBook case, for the MacBook Pro, also adds about a half-inch to the machine inside, but that’s a smaller percentage on a thicker computer.
It is nice-looking, though, in a lottery-winner’s bookshelf kind of way, and can be propped up next to the leather-bound sets of classics that you will never read. The price for this “tasteful” case is $70, in red or black. Available now.

No Comments »LaCie XtremKey Laughs in the Face of Danger
Author: Alexander McQueen
Crash! Bang! Whack! Bubbbbble! These words, when used anywhere near your precious data, should terrify even the most casual of computer users. Data storage devices are weak and pathetic, and even the solid-state storage found in a USB-key or MP3 player is susceptible to drops, heat, water and roaring flame.
LaCie’s XtremKey laughs at these dangers, all as it keeps your bits safe inside a tough, screw-shut metal tube. The blurb:
XtremKey is constructed with zamac, a metal alloy composed of zinc, aluminum, magnesium and copper that’s so strong, it can withstand the pressure of a 10-ton truck.
Impressive, right? The USB2 pen-drive is waterproof to 100 meters (330-feet), can be dropped from 5-meters (16-feet) and can suffer temperatures as low as -50ºC (-58ºF) and as high as 200ºC (392ºF). Better, when sat on your desktop it wobbles cockily on its round edge, daring you to knock it over.
The drives run from 8GB up to 64GB and start at $50.
