It’s like getting two mirrors in one with the Mirror 180. This circular wall-mounted mirror has two halves that slightly angled away from each other so that you see two different angles at once. Great for sharing, above, or just to create a point of interest in your living space.

Redesigned YouTube rolling out to some users, shows more influences of Google

From the looks of this screenshot posted by one of our readers, it appears YouTube is testing a new homepage styled more like the look that recently rolled out on Google+. The current default look rolled out last winter with more focus on channels and social integration, while this new facade features more white space and list of channels and friends to the side.

The statement in full is after the break, however the key part is that they're listening to user feedback so take a close look at this pic and the rest at the source link below then let us (and Google) know what you think.

Google's latest Gmail tweaks bring contact's info to search results, enhanced Circle integration

By any means, this is certainly far from being one of the biggest changes Gmail's ever seen -- still, it's one that's likely to make a few tasks a wee bit easier for you. Inside the recent tweaks, Google added a new quick access trait that makes contact details -- such as phone numbers -- show up automatically in search results within your cherished G inbox. Additionally, the Android-maker has improved the Google+ integration (again), now allowing folks to narrow down conversations from specific Circles in the search box (you know, something like Circle: Awesome Engadget editors). Google says the changes will be rolling out over the course of the day, but in the meantime, you could always check out what exactly happens behind Gmail's closed doors.

uzumaki Tokyoflash Goes Analog with the Kisai Uzumaki Watch
Tokyoflash is probably best known for their innovative digital watches with LED screens and such but with the brand new Kisai Uzumaki model they’ve shown they can make an attractive analog model as well with a distinctive modern style. This watch uses a series of two rotating concentric circles to display the time. The outer ring is the hours, the inner is the minutes and the “hands” would at the end of the solid blocks of the circles.

The watch’s rotating circles create a (slow) spiraling effect- in fact the name “Uzumaki” is from the Japanese word for whirlpool. Even the lens is made of multiple circles. The backlit stainless steel watches come in black or silver with a blue or green display. It’s a stylish adjustable unisex design, water resistant to 3 meters.
