I have been seeing this cool thing on blogs everywhere, and the comparisons to Star Wars are just. However, I see more of a likeness to the landspeeder from the first Star Wars film rather than the speeder bikes from Return of the Jedi. Maybe it is just the sand of the testing ground for this hovering vehicle. The company Aerofex has been working on this for quite some … [Read more...] about Aerofex creates a “Star Wars” hovercraft

It has been a hot summer here, and I can't help but wonder how it is affecting our four-legged friends. Every time I see a dog in the summertime panting its life out, I always feel sorry for it, especially for those long-haired dogs. Some people at Rethink Canada an agency in Toronto have come up with a prototype Dog Caller which will text the owner when it is too hot … [Read more...] about Dog Caller lets you know when it’s too hot for Fido

I just got finished reporting on the watch of the future, and now I would like to show the car of the future. It really is all about renewable power for our vehicles, isn't it? I mean, the earth only has so much oil, right? Let those oil companies get rich now, but soon all those old fossils will be no more! Okay, enough with my doomsday predictions. What I am … [Read more...] about AirPod: The future of automobile transportation?

There is a line from the movie Forgetting Sarah Marshall where Paul Rudd says that he doesn't wear a watch anymore. At first it seems like he doesn't care about time, but then says that: "my cellphone has a clock on it". Yes, everyone's cell phone has a clock on it, and practically everyone has a cellular phone. I suppose this really brings up the question of watches. I … [Read more...] about Welcome to the Watch of the Future!

It seems like a lot of people are using their iPhone/iPad to take pictures, and I know my family use the iPhone for all of our photo needs. Yeah, that Instagram thing really makes them shine! I suppose that Dexim's ClickStik is made for those who use that iPhone/iPad for quality photos. The Clickstik is essentially a tiny tripod that allows the iPhone photographer to be … [Read more...] about ClickStik Bluetooth Remote and Camera Stand from Dexim

It seems like I have reviewed "can-sized" Bluetooth speakers before, such as the DBEST Duo Bluetooth Mini Speakers and the one from Zimri. This Bluetooth portable speaker from HDMX is the Jam, and I give it points for presentation. It comes in a jar that looks like a jar of jam, and it comes in six different flavors that represent the colors like Apple (green), Apricot … [Read more...] about HMDX Audio Jam Wireless Speaker

I always love the label makers from DYMO, and I can attest to the power of the LabelManager 500 Touch Screen label maker. I had a chance to try out the LetraTag Plus LT-100H personal label maker, which is a real handheld unit. It is made for the home or the office, and this one is completely battery-powered with 4 AA batteries. The LT-100H has many font styles, with … [Read more...] about DYMO LetraTag Plus LT-100H Personal Label Maker

I first encountered Roccat's products at CES last year, and I have been hearing about them a lot since then. Their products look as awesome as the ones from Razer, and I do love this one. It has a 6000dpi Pro-Aim Laser Sensor as well as an integrated Tracking and Distance Control Unit (TDCU). It also has 22 Mouse Functions, thanks to several buttons that can be assigned … [Read more...] about The Roccat Kone [+] Gaming Mouse

Yesterday, we discussed a concept pen/smartphone/everything else from Samsung known as the "One". Granted, that isn't a real product, yet, but I sure want it to be. Fortunately, Samsung does have the BT S Pen, which didn't receive any bonus press when Samsung did their official press announcement of the Galaxy Note 10.1. According to my Source, this BT S Pen just sort of … [Read more...] about Samsung BT S Pen

Every once in a while, I see some sort of concept technology that I can latch onto like a leech. The Samsung "One" smartphone pen is just enough to get my mouth watering. First, it has a flexible display, which I know that we are going to see sometime. I don't know if it will be a touchscreen, and I don't know if it will stay out. Since it has smartphone capability, … [Read more...] about Check out Samsung’s concept “One” phone

I have reviewed products from id America, like the Spark headphones before. I will have to say that I am usually pleased with what id America does, and I suppose the Metropolitan is a cheaper version of the Spark. The Metropolitan are, in their own words: "light-weight aluminum headphones that offer comfort and superior audio performance by creating an optimal seal for … [Read more...] about id America Metropolitan headphones

Imagine a world where you can just "Like" a business on Facebook or other social network, and then show up at the actual business and get a deal. How is this possible? All of it is thanks to the blue box of a camera called FaceDeals which has facial recognition software. You show up, get your picture taken by this camera, and your discount will appear when it is time to … [Read more...] about Facedeals combine cameras with social networking

Disney is one of those big companies that is always easy to target. After all, I think a lot of people both young and old are slightly freaked out by animatronic technology, but imagine if it could be done a lot faster. Yes, instead of President Lincoln giving a great speech, Disney has figured out a way to put anyone's face on a robot. It uses 3D motion capture cameras … [Read more...] about Disney has a way of cloning, at least the face

Clearly, digital 3D printers are going to be in everyone's house in the next few years, and I seem to be seeing all sorts of creations done on a 3D printer lately. Stuff like the Cubify robots, a 3D replica of a fetus, and more. What about a 3D printer that can make a house? This is something that some architects at 1:1 Arkitektur in the Netherlands have created, which … [Read more...] about Digitally printable house can be constructed in 4 weeks

I have always thought that the thing that keeps us from enjoying our smartphones as much as our computers is that whole keyboard thing. I am not used to the touch keyboard, but the generation after me seems to be getting the hang of them. Imagine if you could just put this smartphone on your keyboard and start typing. The One2Touch from Japan's Elecom uses near field … [Read more...] about One2Touch NFC Keyboard set for Japanese release in August
