Looks like Japan does not mind suffering from Galapagos Syndrome. After all, it's not their problem that they are technologically-advanced, it is the problem of other countries that they are lagging behind. Proof of this is the growing market for dual-screen laptops. After Kohjinsha unveiled its DZ-series dual-display model, Onkyo developed their own as well.
Not many of us out there are fortunate enough to have enough money in order to have a cinema right smack in our sprawling mansion, although a decent home theater setup is quite common these days. How about moments when you need to keep yourself and your family entertained during an impromptu moment, but a portable DVD player just won’t quite cut the mustard due to the extremely small screen size? That’s where the Mobile Cinema DVD Projector comes in handy.
I’ve reported on some advancements in building blocks before, such as the MUJI kits that blend hard paper with Lego bricks.
Here is a new development for building blocks that I’ve never seen before, but really should have. You know those terrific castles that your kids build out of blocks, the type that constantly fall over? Well, imagine if there was a way to lock the blocks together. I’m not talking about Lego, which uses those bumpy things, but magnets.
Yes, the Tegu is designed to lock together magnetically, so they have a little more resilience than your typical wooden blocks. I can’t imagine the Tegu structures being too solid, but it is a lot better than just gravity. Best of all, the shapes of the blocks are more than just rectangles, but cubes and flat pieces for some very creative models that you can see in the picture.
