Wow. Weighing a mere 27 gms, the Spinblade, which measures 21 cms in all is perhaps one of the smallest remote control helicopters you can own or gift (yah, dream on!). With a flying range of 3 meters, this thing is so light, that you perhaps can never fly it in the open, lest it flys away.

There's an LED on the fuselage for night flying (yah bet!), and comes with landing skids, charging station, 27Mhz remote control and a launch pad. Too bad it only flys for 4-8 minutes on a full charge, and doesn't include a video camera for spying!

Update: Apple has now released iTunes 6.0.2 that asks your permission before switching the Ministore feature on. We recommend updating your iTunes, and keeping the Ministore off, if you are concerned about your privacy.

Yup, you "heard" that right; especially if you have installed the 10th January update of iTunes.

The new version includes a feature called "Ministore" that recommends tracks to buy similar to the one you are listening to, even if they weren't bought online in the first place; obviously by sending data about the song & unique identifiers for the computer and the iTunes account, which is a serious privacy issue.

We love our Pepsi cold and the long hours we spend looking for the "cool" gadgets and stuff means an opened "can" gets hot pretty much before we geek. But, talk of inventions; this one is "cool" - literally!
