Live Luggage

June 27th, 2008 by Admin

liveluggage3_small.jpg



On the Live Luggage website, this quote is given: “How is it we put a man on the moon 40 years before the idea of power assisted luggage”.

To be honest, I don't know why we never tried to market automated wheels on suitcases before. The Live Luggage also has “anti-gravity handles”, and the power will last about 2 hours. I am assuming that it is charged by hooking it to the wall.

I don't travel much, so I don't think I could justify a purchase of the Live Luggage, as it costs about $1,365.25. However, for those who live and die in the airport, this could make your sojourn a lot less burdensome.

JVC LCD Flat Panel is Bigger, Lighter, Better

June 27th, 2008 by Admin

Jvc_lcdTV-thumb-450x348.jpg

JVC is hitting the streets soon with new, large, light, and sexy flat screen monitors. These 1080p monitors come in 42-inch and 46-inch varieties. Now, what makes these monitors special? Check out these specs:

  • The 42 inch monitor weighs in at 12kg (about 26.5 pounds)
  • The 42 inch unit only consumes 145W of energy (a fraction of the normal amount)
  • The unit is only 39mm (1.5 inches) deep at the edge and 74mm (about 3 inches) at its center
  • Both unites feature a 1920 x 1080p resolution
  • They both are viewable from nearly any angle
  • They both feature built in tuners

The JVC 1080p monitors are coming stateside in July, but there are no details on price. Unfortunately, with those kind of specifications, I can't assume that they will be cheap. But, if you are looking for an large, ultra-light LCD panel that is perfect for wall mounting, then these are probably what you are looking for.

Considering how many of our devices are touchscreen, I guess it was a mater of time before they ended up on our speaker system.

A company appropriately named Genius has come up with the SP-T1200 speaker system that has a touch panel screen to control volume, bass, and treble. These speakers are compact and can produce a 30-watt sound, which is perfect for laptop owners.

You should be able to purchase the SP-T1200 at many sites for about $99.

Over 1 Billion Computers Served

June 27th, 2008 by Admin

How many computers do you represent? Depending how you count, I could be half a dozen. I have 3 at home, an iphone, a desktop at work, a PS3 and a Wii. Even if you don't count the gaming systems and the iphone, I am still 4 computers. That makes me a small part of the 1 billion computers now in use across the globe.

Research firm Gartner says the number will double to 2 billion by 2014. That is a lot of new computers. Gartner also estimates that this year alone, 35 million computers will end up in landfills. The problem there is that many computer parts are toxic, and with millions of them filling holes in the ground, much of that toxicity could leach into the soil.

What Gartner didn't say is what we should do about all of this? Do you have any hints or suggestions on what to do? Have you recycled a computer or disposed of it properly? I would love to hear about your experiences. Sound off in the comments and let me know.

Go Back To School with a Lightscribe Pulse Smartpen

June 27th, 2008 by Admin

BigPromoImage_07.jpg

I'll be honest, the Smartpen concept is one that I had a hard time grasping. I didn't understand why a person wouldn't just take a laptop into a classroom and type their notes. Then, headlines on campuses banning laptops in classrooms started circulating the internet. Now it makes more sense.

The new Lightscribe Pulse Smartpen, which looks like a pen so it won't get banned, is capable of recording hours of lectures while simultaneously digitizing your handwriting. That way, you can visually go over your notes while listening to the lecture at the same time.

The Lightscribe Pulse comes in two Smartpen configurations. the 1GB version will get you 100 hours of audio and 16000 digitized pages, while the 2GB version will get you double that. Prices are $149 and $199 respectfully.

Knight Rider GPS - Greatest GPS Ever!

June 27th, 2008 by Admin

phplveep6.preview.jpg

Do the following words do anything for you?

Knight Rider, a shadowy flight into the dangerous world of a man who does not exist. Michael Knight, a young loner on a crusade to champion the cause of the innocent, the helpless, the powerless, in a world of criminals who operate above the law.

If so, then you need this GPS soon to be released from Mio. With this Knight Rider inspired GPS, any car can become 100 times cooler, and you can keep from being lost. What more can you ask for?

William Daniels, the original voice of KITT, provides the voice work for this Mio GPS unit. It also features red, roving LED's that match the lights found on the hood of of Michael Knight's car. When you boot it up, that old familiar and welcoming voice says “Hello Michael, where do you want to go today?” Honestly, this has got to be the coolest car gadget ever.

This unit will set you back $270 when it is released. That's right, for less than $300 dollars you can be as cool cooler than David Hasselhoff.

New Glucose Monitoring Gadget Could Save Time and Lives

June 27th, 2008 by Admin

I love gadgets, I really do. I love them even more when they can really help people. Take diabetics for example. When we have to constantly prick our finger and test our blood to make sure we don't slip into a coma, we wish some handy gadget would come along and save some time and pain.

Freedom Meditech has a promising solution. They have presented a glucose monitoring unit that you hold up to your eye. The unit scans your eye and can determine your blood sugar level. The test is said to only take a few seconds - amazing!

The unit is set for clinical trials later this year. This type of technology is new and exciting but Freedom Meditech understands the challenges ahead:

“Our team is not out to create any false sense of hope. We are realistic of where we are at and the obstacles that lay ahead of us,”

My fingers are definitely looking forward to this type of technology. I love it when a gadget helps the world!
