DIY kit converts black iPhone 4 to white


Some girls may prefer the white iPhone 4. But disappointingly, the white model has been put off for a number of times for a number reasons. Although it says it”ll be available sometime this year but it’s somehow uneasy to keep waiting. If you can’t wait anymore, you can simply buy the black iPhone 4 or you already own the black iPhone 4, and spend additional $229 for a set of the DIY White iPhone 4 kit to convert a black into a white model.

The above picture shows those who’ve got the kits and successfully turned their existing iPhone 4s into white, which look pretty promising from afar. Anyway, those parts are not unconfirmed as genuine but the seller’s website does claim they’re OEM parts. Or they could have been painted in white from the original black parts. Anyway, it looks cool to have and convert one by yourself, if you do not mind the little expensive $229 price tag

Airbus Unveils “The Future” of Airplanes



Airbus has unveiled its vision about the future of air transportation in the year 2050. For them, airplanes would appear transparent, with materials that supposed to mimic bird bones. Parts of the plane’s fuselage would also be able to switch between transparent and opaque, a technology that already exists.
The cabin would have form-fitting seats with built-in high-speed internet connections, while the plane itself would be divided into several zones such as “vitalising” that features vitamin-enhanced air and acupressure therapy and “interactive,” which will feature games and shopping.
Meanwhile, skeptics have all the right to be skeptic up to this point. Remember what people back in 1940s expect about the year 2000? Well, we have yet to have flying cars or colonies in Mars. Plus, I think this futuristic plane would still have the ways of the year 2000 such as little leg room, hidden fees, disrespect flight attendants, and terrorists.

Robostir Does What is Seen on TV: Stirring Soups



Whenever I watch those home shopping advertisements, the first thing that pops out of my head is whether the product would be able to deliver its promise. Most of the time, its claims range from exaggerated to downright unreal. This one, however, looks too simple yet it makes sense. The Robostir is a robotic soup stirrer, just that. If you have a lot of things to do while simmering the soup–like feeding the baby or preparing for the next dish to cook–or you simply do not trust yourself when it comes to keeping the soup from being burnt, then this gadget is for you.
The Robostir runs on four AA batteries and stirs soups using its submersible, waterproof stirring legs. The parts can even be taken apart and put into the dishwasher for easy cleaning.Costs only $11, at least on that part you know you are not being ripped off.
