Do you have a problem with eating too much chocolate? Self control can be hard to master. With the shockolate vault you need not worry any more and put this habbit to rest. The shockolate vault is a jar in which you put your chocolate and then the lid has metal contacts on in which if touched, you (or the thief) gets a shock 🙂 You basically take away the self control and then let the vault do the controlling. Nobody wants a shock now do they?

You can set the timer to 24 hours to help control your cravings too. Check it out now over at Firebox.com. It costs just £9.95

Firebox has put on sale another cool rc flying thing. Similar to the Picoz Micro Helicopter we reviewed a few days ago, this one is now a small bi-plane which has 2 props to keep it flying in the air. Nice little living room present I think 🙂

The Plane
It’s light… at just 20 grammes and has a wingspan of a mere 9″ (3″ short of a foot for those who struggled at maths). It’s made out of some type of foam. With it being made of such a lite material then those who struggle to keep this in the air will be glad to know it generally wont break if you crash the thing.

Controls
The X-Twin plane is easy to control. It has a smart handheld transmitter which also is used to charge the plane. It flys for around 15 minutes which is plenty of fun to be had.

Over all I am impressed with the new range of indoor flying things that are coming out. A couple of years back it was the mini cars (Bit char-g) and now they have taken it the next step on and allowed us to fly around the house 🙂 Ok, we could do that with the expensive toys but how quick would you break the toy and the living room if you tried that? 🙂

Go pick one up now from Firebox and have a laugh in your living room or in the office. To make it even cooler there are 2 frequencies available so 2 people can fly together. How cute!

The latest and most powerful graphics card has been made by ATI. It’s the ATI Radeon X1950 XTX and it has a lot to be proud of. It boasts a 512Mb of 2Ghz GDDR4 memory, runs 48-pixel shaders and eight vertex shaders. What does all that mean? Well, it’s fast. Previous ATI high end cards suffered with a noisey fan but this has now been fixed. The price is a nice $449 which is not bad and very competitive with todays cards. A more indepth review can be found below.

The screen is around 2mm thick and has SoundVu vibration modules on each side of the screen. The screen needs to be hanging when using sound.

The sceeen is 46″ and weighs just 2.5Kg. It will be on the market for around $4000.
