Each week, Ariel Waldman serves a tasting of the latest in sex and tech.
Durex Vibrator Resembles Vulture Droid
Seeing sci-fi in sex, the latest vibrator from Durex resembles something close to a Vulture Droid starfighter. The tongue-tickling technology may not travel through space, but its three separate speeds are sure to heat up your hyperdrive. If that wasn't enough, the Star Wars-like sex toy is ergonomically ready for you to play everywhere. Pulsating your privates, the Durex Little Gem clocks in at 45 quid. Surely sex-deprived Star Wars fans will appreciate Durex over die-cast.
Technology That Tingles
Intimately engaging, an experimental form of interaction seeks out sensuality. A new kind of cell phone, developed by product design students from the College of Art, Science and Engineering, attempts to do away with antisocial devices. Most notably, an experiment called Aware. Aware takes the form of a necklace that tingles your top. Each time a friend is nearby, the networked necklace will send a sensual signal down your back. A total of six "phones" created by the students are said to help support intimacy and sensuality (and hopefully SMS.)
Slicking down your storage
You've always been good at getting your hard drive hot and bothered. Hoping to help frost some of your foreplay, Hitachi and NEC want to make your hard drive wet, literally. The corporate couple are creating a water-powered cooling system The liquid cooling system is sure to help with loud late night sessions by dropping down to 25 decibels. Comparatively, whispering naughty nothings measures at 30 decibels. The process partakes in rhythmic pumping, assisted with mini- (ribbed?) ridges.
