Child Minder – Hey Don’t Forget the Baby!

Posted: 28 Jun 2012 09:25 AM PDT

Were you ever driving down the road and automatically just took the turn that takes you to work, even though that’s NOT where you were going? Have you ever experienced an automatic pilot type daze, where you just do what your body is programmed to do, like waking up and putting on your suit only to realize that its Saturday? Usually the consequences are minimal, but what about parents that don’t usually take their infants to daycare? What if they just go to work, and leave their child sleeping in the backseat of the car. It happens more often than you would care to imagine. It happened in my area during last weeks heat wave – with tragic consequences.

A company called Baby Alert, introduces us to The Elite Pad System, placed between the carseat and its cloth cover, the Elite Pad System is activated when a child is placed in the seat. The System will then sound an alarm six seconds after a you walk more than fifteen feet away from a vehicle while your bundle of joy is still in their car seat. It seems so ridiculous to think a device like this would be necessary, but when you are not the parent that typically drops off your child, well, lets just say I’d much rather be safe than sorry…

This simple device is easy to install, comes with a keyring alarm, works with wireless technology, and has all the necessary fail safes, like low battery indicators, and self testing features and with different packages, meant to protect from one to three kids, starting at only $69.95 I guess it makes an excellent baby shower gift and it gives you valuable protection against the unthinkable.

Wickr – This Message will Self Destruct in 5 Seconds

Posted: 28 Jun 2012 09:20 AM PDT

 

Does anyone out there remember Inspector Gadget? Where at the start of every episode, Inspector Gadget gets a note containing his next mission, the final line of each of these messages states that, “This message will self destruct in 5 seconds.“  Have you ever been in a situation where you only wished you could self destruct one of your e-mails, texts or an inappropriate picture or two? Phew! I have.

Well now you can, a new app called Wickr saw the need for folks to be able to keep tighter security on their communications. Wickr, encrypts your messages, kills, metadata, lets you remain anonymous, lets you decide who gets to see your stuff, and for just how long they get to see it for (from a mere second or two, to a several days) before your message self destructs, leaving no trace. Boy, I wish I had that a few late night e-mails ago.

As soon as your predetermined “viewing period” is over, the application will write over the nudie… I mean, sensitive visual images with random data. This makes the data unrecoverable, even using special computer forensics software, even by law enforcement officials, even by your soon to be ex-wife or, the IRS, and most especially, your drunken best friend on a Facebook posting frenzy.

So, if you like your privacy and your bothered by the idea that Big Brother might someday like to take a look-see at what you’ve been up to, then there’s a free version of Wickr available at Apple’s App Store, and (thankfully) an Android app on its way. A premium (paid) version of Wickr is being developed that allows you more precise user-controls, like being able to extend the time period before messages are deleted. Check out mywickr.com for more info. Like Wickr says, the Internet is forever… That’s a little scary isn’t it?

Launch A Ball means drool no more!

Posted: 28 Jun 2012 06:30 AM PDT

Man’s best friend needs plenty of exercise as well, and apart from their daily walk, you might also want to indulge in a little game of fetch. Not all pooches love to retrieve a ball or a stick though, but you can be sure that generally speaking, retrievers live up to their namesake. Just in case your throwing arm is not all that it is made up to be, how about settling for a contraption that assists you greatly? We are talking about the $9.99 Launch A Ball.

This unique device would also have another unspoken benefit – basically, your hands need not “suffer” the wetness of drool any more on a ball, which is always a good thing. I find myself being in a fix whenever I play fetch with my labrador, as she drools an unbelievable amount. The ergonomic handle also plays on the physics principle of leverage, where it can let you throw a whole lot farther – although you will not end up being a Thor anytime soon.

Home Cellulite Smoother

Posted: 28 Jun 2012 06:00 AM PDT

I don’t know about you, but the general rule of thumb is this – ladies seem to take more pride in their physical looks than us men. We’re more utilitarian, wearing whatever we can grab at the moment before heading out for a social event without thinking too much about whether our turtleneck and jeans are suitable or not. The ladies? They’ve practically got an entire thesis down pat on what to wear for a particular event. Well, one thing’s for sure – they are also more concerned about the scourge known as cellulite, especially around the thigh area. This is where the $1,500 Home Cellulite Smoother comes into play, although I am not quite sure whether it is worth your time (and especially money) in checking it out.

How do you verify the effectiveness of a device like this? It is said to be able to smoothen and tighten dimpled skin caused by cellulite in a safe and painless manner. Taking over 20 years of engineering research, the Home Cellulite Smoother was developed in France, and sports motorized rollers that rely on gentle suction and massaging pulsations in order to stimulate fat metabolism. Each purchase comes with five treatment heads, cleaning wipes, and 20 replacement filters to get you started right out of the box.

Google unveils Nexus 7 tablet

Posted: 28 Jun 2012 05:30 AM PDT

Google I/O Conference is certainly a hotbed for technology, and it kickstarted with the announcement of Android 4.1 Jelly Bean which delivers a far smoother user experience than ever before, and you will be pleased to hear that the first device in the world which will run on Android 4.1 Jelly Bean right out of the box is, unsurprisingly, a Google device – the Asus-manufactured Nexus 7 tablet.

Google claims that the Nexus 7 delivers incredible performance and a stylish design, all coming in the form of a light and portable package that is capable of fitting in nicely with your hand. You will not find Asus skimping on the hardware specifications here, that is for sure. Specially designed to run an incredible variety of entertainment, productivity and gaming applications, the Google Nexus 7 tablet will run on the NVIDIA Tegra 3 processor which sports a quad-core chip and a 12-core GeForce GPU, ensuring your gaming experience on the Nexus 7 is nothing short of extraordinary.

There will be two models of the Nexus 7 in the market, where it will come in 8GB and 16GB flavors. The 8GB model will retail for $199, and those who want to opt for double the storage space will have to fork out $249 for it. Just what kind of hardware specifications are we looking at for that kind of money? Enter the 7″ IPS panel which is said to deliver crisp and detailed visuals, sporting an ultra-wide 178° viewing angle, scratch-resistant Corning FIT Glass and a textured chassis design which ensures your Nexus 7 tablet will not slip out from your hands by accident.

Battery life has been rated at 9.5 hours on movie playback alone, and the entire shebang measures 0.4″ thin and tips the scales at 0.7lbs. It is said to be as portable as a paperback book thanks to its size, but boasts enough portability to make you want to use it all the time. Is this the iPad killer that the industry has been waiting for a long time?

Google gives birth to the Nexus Q

Posted: 28 Jun 2012 05:00 AM PDT

Just in case you still think that Google is a software company, what happened earlier yesterday morning has debunked that myth once and for all. I know, Google has churned out Google-branded smartphones in the past, where those were manufactured by HTC first, followed by Samsung as part of the Nexus range. However, what you have here this time around would be a hardware that was built right in the bowels of Google’s headquarters itself – resulting in this rounded beauty known as the Nexus Q.

Just what is the Nexus Q? It is a sphere, basically, but that does not mean it is down and out for the count. Do not despise small beginnings, literally with the Nexus Q. The Nexus Q is said to be the focal point of Android as well as Google Play, allowing one to stream not only music, but video straight into your home. You will be able to control it using an Android-powered smartphone or a similar tablet.

As mentioned earlier, this was specially designed and engineered by the team over at Google. The Nexus Q is tiny enough not to look out of place in just about any home, where the main purpose of it is to be plugged into the best speakers and TVs around your home. Touted to be the first ever social streaming device, similar to a cloud connected jukebox, it allows everyone who drops by your place to basically brings their own personal music collection to the party. First out in the US, you will be able to place a pre-order for the Nexus Q from Google Play for $299 a pop. Shipping commences sometime from the middle of next month onwards. Of course, other territories will also be on the receiving end of the Nexus Q, but we will just have to wait for an official announcement on the release dates.

Just what other kind of hardware specifications does the Nexus Q carry? We are looking at connectivity options that include Optical audio (S/PDIF), Ethernet, micro HDMI, and microUSB. You will find the same kind of processing power as the Galaxy Nexus, and the entire device tips the scales at just 2 pounds. The rotating top dome functions as a volume control, and it is rounded off by 1GB RAM and 16GB of internal memory, all running on Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich.
