Gadgets with FACES #187: An unknown thing

Sent in by a “Ben” who didn’t even bother with any sort of accompanying explanation, apology, excuse or insult. It’s this sort of apathy that hurts the most.

TS319 AV2

The image is called “TS319_AV2″ which leads us to suspect it’s a redesigned 9 Walt Nail Gel UV Lamp (TS319). Although that’s is only our finest bit of Google journalism at work, so we may be wrong there.

Pantech lady can accommodate about *this much* girth

The whole series (of four) can be found over at Akihabara News, which is making it a bit difficult for people to steal images off its site nowadays – so won’t be too pleased to see this, here:

“She may believe she’s adding style points, perhaps even framing her face nicely; but I am uneasy with the fact it could be a gang sign. I hear they are all the rage with the kids now, so I can’t endorse the sign for fear of offending the rival gang. I just don’t need that kind of drama” – Jon.

LG Cooky and some precise arrangement

Product holding, neat displays, spiral logos, two young women paid to do what they’re told to do and wear what they’re told to wear for an hour – this photo is INTOXICATING.

They’re trying to communicate something in binary.

Terrible photo. What’s going on here? The perspective’s so mental the lady on the left looks like a cardboard cut-out. This is like a psychedelic moment from “The Prisoner” where Number Two tries to convince Number Six his name is actually “Cooky”.

Sony Ericsson Vivaz and LIFESTYLE PHOTOGRAPHY!

Poor old Sony Ericsson. It’s not an iPhone. It’s not really on the Android bandwagon. It employs people who think “Vivaz” is a good name for a product. And it’s hindered by having to put “Sony” on its products. It’ll never win.

Ironic hair. Leather jacket. Girlfriend he got off the internet and is yet to discover he has nothing in common with.

But well done, fashionable man! He’s not even pretending he’s interested in getting her head in shot. A picture of the outline of her tits is all he needs.

Now he’s pointing it at the ground, getting a shot of the woman standing next to him’s shoes.

He had to take one of her face in the end, to avoid rousing suspicions and leading her to instigate a full memory card check.

Darth Vader updates breathing apparatus

His new one comes with the ability to send 140-character text messages via sub-carrier to any ship in the fleet.

Motorola DCR

Pressing the red X button makes him die. Typical glaring Imperial design flaw.

Come and see Apple’s latest creation

Looks like it’s some sort of spray paint toy.

We can only image the sort of miserable “Free the Creativity within you” sort of positive affirmation messages that are going to accompany this nonsense.

*JINGLE* Promotional Image of the Weeeek

It’s used-to-be-on-telly handyman Tommy Walsh, who is the new face – and literally just the face and a bit of shoulders – of Dansand. Dansand is sand. Tommy Walsh is the face of sand.

We admire any company that has the art skills to make text go round in a circle like that. No matter how many Photoshop tutorials we read, or watch since internet video took off, that skill still evades us.

Tommy Walsh Joins Forces with New Eco-Friendly Dansand® Joint Filling Sand to Send Patio & Driveway Weeds Packing

Easy to Use – Eco-Friendly – Low-Maintenance – Durable

Ideal for renovations, maintenance and new installations

Try a little desert magic with new Tommy Walsh’s Choice Dansand Joint Filling Sand and you’ll no longer need to spend back breaking hours removing moss and weeds from paths, patios and driveways, leaving you more time to relax and enjoy a glass of wine on your patio instead!

TV’s DIY and building Guru, Tommy Walsh has joined forces with Danish company, Dansand A/S to launch Tommy Walsh’s Choice Dansand® Joint Filling Sand, a revolutionary new joint sand that inhibits weeds from growing in newly laid or renovated block paving, patios and driveways without using environmentally harmful herbicides.

The patented formulation contains a growth inhibiting combination of dried silica sand and special minerals that have a naturally high pH value and create desert-like conditions to help prevent weed growth and germination in the sand. Tests undertaken by the Danish Institute of Agricultural Sciences’ Department of Integrated Pest Management proved that the weed inhibiting additives in Dansand® ensure shoots wither and die.

Woman goes BANG BANG BANG

It turns out animated GIFs do still have a place on today’s modern internet. The full 4.25MB original of this can be found here. These are some stills from it. Even with our extremely small number of readers, embedding a 4.25MB GIF would be a bad idea.

Sent in my a man called “dbot” who suggests it’s “Best viewed whilst listening to Hi-NRG techno”. We’re slightly concerned this may have originally come from B3ta and may also have been on the internet for over a decade, but will go with it anyway, as you know how hard it is having to find something to do every day.

LG Thing of the Day

Here’s today’s mystery LG shiny black technical product. It says what it is on the case, so squint your eyes and don’t read the words if you don’t want to spoil the guessing fun for yourself.

It could be a HUGE MOUSE, or some very small bathroom scales.

But it isn’t. This was only a good guessing game if you don’t know what HDD stands for, or if you’re trying to guess how many fillings she’s got.

Not convinced by the LG GW620’s camera

The photo doesn’t look much like her. There’s a lot of barrel distortion on the face and a clear purple border

LG GW620

Interesting finger arrangement, though. We can’t even begin to guess if that’s her left hand or her right hand.
