GPS lingerie brings with it a whole bunch of ethical issues. You could potentially locate a cheating wife, or use it in an escort service situation where a pimp can keep tabs on his/her girls, or even play weird GPS sex games if that’s your deal. For better or worse, Lindelucy of Brazil has outted GPS lingerie that lets you keep track of where the wearer is at all times. Not what they are doing sadly for voyeurs. We shouldn’t worry about the ethical issues that much. The lingerie will be taken off in a matter of minutes. [Gizmodiva]

iPhone 3G and the 3G S were winners that belonged to the top most bracket as no other contender could really compete in the real sense of the word. Despite the success, Apple and all of us understand that it is time to move on and therefore iPhone 4G is what we wish to talk about. Speculations have already begun as to what one should expect from the next generation Apple smartphone and what adds fuel to fire are a couple of new patents that have been filed by Apple. One gives us a clue that the next gen iPhone will come with a front facing camera and another one tells us why

Nowadays one of the deciding factors about choosing an electronic device is how much energy it consumes. Many manufacturers are promoting environmentally friendly products that they call “Green”. Recently, the writers from PC Magazine released an article describing what it takes for a projector to get the certification of being a green machine. The major problems with a projectors’ energy consumption is its lamp. The lamp needs a lot of energy to run and even more the start up. The projector’s cooling fan also uses a lot of energy in order to keep the lamp from over

Looking for a radio that both Ewoks and hippies can endorse? Here it is. The Log Radio. A wooden wonder device that looks like the escape pod that R2-D2 and C-3PO took to Tatooine. It’s from designers Solène Le Goff and Christophe Gouache. The radio is powered by solar or wind-up. It should work for a good long time until Squirrels start living inside or your senile dad chops it in half for the fireplace. For their next trick the designers will install an ultra small mp3 in some acorns. [MAKE]

We’ve seen our share of Apple clones and rip-offs, but on this one, they’ve taken the Apple name way too literally. I mean, it’s shaped like an apple, has buttons in the shape of apples, flips open like a sliced apple and so on and so on. It’s from Apple, we get it. Only it’s not. Some of the craptastic specs include: quadband GSM support, a 2″ display, dual SIM, integrated FM radio, TXT file reader, a digital camera and support for a maximum of 10 languages. It will cost you around $108, but we don’t see anybody actually buying

Here we go again: round umpteen of the fight to break and re-enable Pre syncing with iTunes is now underway thanks to the release of iTunes 9, and we’re sure there’s plenty more where this came from. Endlessly amusing to casual observers, yes, but Pre customers are the ones losing out — sure, Palm might be able fix this in a jiffy (especially since they continue to tout compatibility with the Pixi), but meanwhile, media sync’s out of the picture once more. Stay tuned for more on this as it develops.

Let’s be frank: We all know Apple’s hosting a September event, as it has for the past several years. But this year’s keynote is shaping up to be a bit more interesting than usual, thanks to the frenzy of iPod, iTunes and tablet rumors. Plus, of course, the return of Steve Jobs. True to form, Apple hasn’t confirmed a thing — not even the existence of an event on Sept. 9 — leaving us to assess the rumors based on the best evidence we can find. Of all the predictions, which are likely to come true? Let’s take a hard look at everything
