It may be too late to snag one, get it delivered and wrap it with heaps of love before next Tuesday (or not), but if an IOU will do, we’ve found a stunning candidate for a last minute gift. Creative’s long awaited 32GB Zen has finally moved beyond the pre-order stage, which means anxious to-be owners can at long last place an order and expect shipment shortly thereafter. $349.99 and it’s yours, all yours.

At first glance you might think this is some hacked-up clock made out of pieces of a hard drive, but this is actually a hacked-up clock made out of pieces of a hard drive that actually uses the mechanisms of the drive itself in a creative way. The platter itself turns to show the hours, and then the read head indicates the minutes. Clever stuff.

The Braille CD-R is a great idea from Mitsubishi. It allows blind people to know which CD they are holding and in turn, makes it easier to find the music that is wanted. The Braille bumps are created from high viscosity ink which has a height of 0.1mm from the surface of the CD. This is small enough to not get jammed in the drive, but large enough to be able to feel the Braille marks on the disc. The technology is currently compatible on CDRs and it shouldnt be a problem to port the bumps to DVD, HD-DVD and Blu-Ray discs also.
I am surprised that this wasnt thought of long ago with CD just hitting its 25th birthday recently.
