Stay Cool With Air-Con Clothing July 1, 2007

Summertime. Sun [maybe], sea [occasionally], sand [inevitably], sex [optimistically] and sticky sweaty clothes [definitely].
Things get a lot hotter and more humid in Japan and they are not adverse to turning to technology to sort it out. Forget little battery blowers though as we are talking about air-conditioned clothes.
Check out this shirt and pants from Kuchofuku, a company that specialises in air-con lifestyle products.
It does air-con pants, jackets, white shirts for men and women and work-shirts - all with dual fans to keep that peeling feeling at bay. They certainly won’t win any fashion contest but if they work, I’d rather be cool than hip and dripping any day.-Martin Lynch

My own Webcam is made by a firm called Mikomi and it’s a piece of crap. It’s key feature would have to be BlurryVision, followed closely by SoundLess. That’s why I want one of the new Logitech Webcams, boasting high-definition (HD) resolutions and superb clarity thanks to the use of renowned Carl Zeiss lenses. Yes, real glass, and good glass at that.
The new Logitech QuickCam Pro 9000 and the Logitech QuickCam Pro for Notebooks will cost around £70 from next month. They sport a Carl Zeiss Tessar lens, as well as an auto-focus system that claims to refocus images in less than three seconds and which will retain clarity of objects as close as 10cm.
Both record video at up to 30 frames per second and support 720p resolutions at 960 by 720 pixels. Photos can be taken at 2MP. They will come bundled with RightSound and RightLight 2 software for sorting out background noise and poor lighting issues.
Jump now for a pic of both.-Martin Lynch
