Panasonic's 150" Plasma TV: Too Big?

COOL INVENTIONS : Panasonic's 150" Plasma HDTV

Just how big a TV do we really need, is 150 inches big enough? From Panasonic comes this huge, big, mammoth-like, gigantic (whatever you may want to call it) High Definition TV. Panasonic already has a 103" HDTV, but apparently, they think it's not big enough, so they're making it a lot bigger, a whopping 150 inches! Isn't this a bit too much, I mean how is it supposed to fit in our doors, if it's way taller than your average person?!

But I have to say, this HDTV is very impressive. Think movies and video games... with a TV as big as this, you'll feel like you're on the actual scenes yourself! With 8.84 mp resolution and a viewing area that measures 11 x 6 1/4 feet, this TV is just awe-inspiring. It's just up to the people whether or not they'd want to spend millions of dollars for this beauty, but it definitely takes entertainment to the highest level.

Pet-Sensing Doorbell: No More Door Scratches!

COOL INVENTIONS : Pet-Sensing Doorbell

For pet-owners, dogs and cats primarily, I'm sure you know all too well the frustrations when you see scratches on your door, caused by your furry pet. When pets want to go out or be let in, and the door is closed, it's in their instincts to scratch it. Good thing if you're there every time to open the door for them, but what if you're in another room and you can't see them?

The Pet-Sensing Doorbell is a great solution for this. It's an innovative cordless doorbell that rings when your pet approaches within 6" to 3' of the door. A "Smart Key", which attaches to your pet's collar transmits a coded signal that activates the doorbell when it comes within range. The sound lasts for about 7 seconds and repeats every 5 to 10 seconds. You can adjust the volume or turn it off at your convenience. Now, the only catch here is if you're too lazy to get up and open the door.

The Thumbnail Watch: Yay Or Nay?

INVENTION IDEAS : TX54 Watch

Watches may no longer be in demand and popular nowadays, at least not as popular as they were before the advent of cellphones. Today, people no longer find it necessary to wear a watch because their cellphones can tell them the time too. That's why watch companies have to come up with new invention ideas to make watches even more interesting.

In line with this, TIMEX teamed up with Core77, and they did a global design contest called Timex 2154: The Future of Time Design. One concept design that's really interesting is the TX54. It is a unique watch, designed to be worn on your thumbnail, which stays clear unless you activate it. You can activate it by pressing the end of your thumbnail. With it, you can tell the time just with a quick glance at your hand. It's an interesting concept, no doubt. But I don't think it's very practical. I mean, would you actually buy one of these? If you bite your nails habitually, then this is probably not the watch for you.

iPosture: Sloucher's Gadget

INVENTION IDEAS : iPosture

Many of us slouch, whether we are aware of it or not. Poor posture is not only unattractive, it can also lead to lower back pains and makes the sloucher appear shorter. It also makes our bellies larger, and for women, it makes the breasts look smaller. Not a good sight!

It's a good thing, they've come up with a device that will help slouchers learn good posture. The iPosture is a nifty electronic device that automatically senses when your body slouches, and then it vibrates and alerts you, so you can straighten up and correct your posture. Just a little over an inch in diameter, these cool inventions are worn close to the skin and the user can wear them as a necklace pendant or even discretely attach them to the bra strap for girls.

WINS, or Wearable Intelligent NanoSensors is the secret behind iPosture. It's a microchip that monitors your posture a few times a second. Operating on a coin-sized battery, it can adapt to a wide range of activities and different body types. It's very easy to use, you can use it either standing or sitting, and you can reset it at any time. If you want to pause it, just push the button and hold it for 3 seconds. If you want to turn it off, just take it off and lay it on a table surface.

This is really good news for slouchers like me. This way we get to watch our postures every time. And the best thing is, most people won't notice that you have these little alerts coming from the device to correct your stance. You can wow your friends and family with your improved posture! Pretty cool, these things, huh?
