I have to admit that the One Shot isn't a device that I have never seen before. It is essentially a bike that can fold up for portability. Even in the eighties, I have seen a bike that can fold into a suitcase. The One Shot can fold up into something that looks like a golf cart, minus the clubs. You can drag it as you ride, and it is easy to travel on the bus. Of course, … [Read more...] about One Shot Concept Bike Folds Up nice
Rearview Bike Camera available on the Sharper Image Catalog
Here is an interesting item available from our friends at the Sharper Image Catalog. They always had the latest gadget back in the eighties, and they are still around. This is the Rearview Bike Camera. I'm sure that you can see the purpose of the Rearview Bike Camera, as most bikes don't come with rear or side-view mirrors, which are standard on most automobiles. It … [Read more...] about Rearview Bike Camera available on the Sharper Image Catalog
Pioneer drives the future with this Concept Driver’s Seat at CEATAC
I will have to admit that I have never been to CEATAC, that is one of the big tech shows, like IFA, that I have never attended. That, and the Mobile World Congress. Dang, I really need to leave the country. Speaking about taking big steps, you might enjoy this concept car cockpit from our old friends at Pioneer. You will notice that it really looks like some control … [Read more...] about Pioneer drives the future with this Concept Driver’s Seat at CEATAC
SmartWater Booby Trap gets Crooks a-glowin’
I think we have all seen films like Speed where money has these gel caps that explode when the perp touches them. The purpose is to catch the thief red-handed (or whatever color the gel-pack is), and it is pretty irrefutable. This SmartWater works on the same principle. It is currently being used by the Brent Police Department in the London Borough of Brent, as a theft … [Read more...] about SmartWater Booby Trap gets Crooks a-glowin’
A.I. Smartwatch could change the Smartphone market
I have been seeing a lot of talk of smartwatches, and I'm still not convinced that I need one. I think Samsung has some sort of plan, but it is nothing compared to the A.I. Watch. Most smartwatches are just something to pair with a smartphone via Bluetooth, but what makes the A.I. smartwatch different is it can be a standalone Android phone. Yeah, a phone on our watch! … [Read more...] about A.I. Smartwatch could change the Smartphone market
Samsung getting into PowerbyProxi, about 4 million dollar’s worth
I have recently learned that Samsung Ventures America has recently given about $4 million to PowerbyProxi. If you have not heard of this company, it essentially allows multiple devices to be charged on one place. I was sort of hoping that Samsung would get in on this. After all, Nokia has their cool wireless charging features on their phones, so it is about time that Samsung … [Read more...] about Samsung getting into PowerbyProxi, about 4 million dollar’s worth
The Valve Steam Controller and how it could change TV gaming
If you are not familiar with Steam, it is a way of porting some cool games to your PC. I have used it in the past, and the company announced last week that they intend to do more for the people. The first was Steam OS and a Steam Machine, which are essentially modified PCs to play Steam games on their television. Of course, you are going to need a controller to play … [Read more...] about The Valve Steam Controller and how it could change TV gaming
Speculative Fiction Saturday: The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy (2005 Version)
As I have said before, I like watching people review bad movies like the Nostalgia Critic, and if you watch enough shows about bad movies, the same titles show up like Batman and Robin, Freddy Got Fingered, and The Last Airbender. For some reason, I never see The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy on this list, and perhaps it is too new. Hitchhiker's is one of those films … [Read more...] about Speculative Fiction Saturday: The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy (2005 Version)
Stir Smart Desk will help you burn calories
The other day, when I was talking about the company Nest creating a Smoke Detector, and how everything should be smart in the home. I suppose that the desk would soon become the smartest thing. This is a smart desk called the Stir. If you are wondering what makes it smart, it has to do with the ability to raise itself. The purpose of this height thing is to give the user … [Read more...] about Stir Smart Desk will help you burn calories
Puzzle-Pod Bank and Present Vault from ThinkGeek
I have reported on items from ThinkGeek before, and this one is one of the cooler ones. It is a Puzzle-Pod Bank and Present Vault, and see if you can guess what you do with it. Think about The Da Vinci Code where the clue was hidden in the cryptex that could only be opened with a special word code. If the person you are giving this to wants that gift, he or or she is … [Read more...] about Puzzle-Pod Bank and Present Vault from ThinkGeek
BluFit is a hydration bottle that has its own app
This particular gadget is something that I haven't really seen before, as it is a waterbottle that has its own app. The purpose of this app is to moderate your own levels of hydration. This app helps you control your appetite, improve activity and performance, and helps prevent headaches and fatigues. There is some sort of sensor the can record the time and amount of water … [Read more...] about BluFit is a hydration bottle that has its own app
Amazon announes the Kindle Fire HDX
I guess we really should have seen this one coming, as Amazon has just announced the latest version of the Kindle Fire. Okay, it was yesterday, but give me a break, they didn't post this by the time I was looking for stories for the day. Welcome to the age of the Kindle Fire HDX, which should last a year, I guess. Like the new iPhones, they come in two forms. In the … [Read more...] about Amazon announes the Kindle Fire HDX
La Pedrera iPhone 5C Case from iLuv
I think it is really cool that cell phone accessory companies have already responded to the need for iPhone 5C cases, and iLuv is on it. The La Pedrera is the first iPhone 5C accessory that I have reviewed, but it certainly won't be the last. You might notice an odd meshy-look to it, and it certainly is unusual. It is apparently designed by Antoni Gaudi, a renowned … [Read more...] about La Pedrera iPhone 5C Case from iLuv
Nest could be working on a Smoke Detector
I don't know if you have heard of Nest, but they make this "smart thermostat". Nest was started by a former Apple exec named Tony Fadell, and the smart thermostat learns it's user's needs in order to optimize itself to consume less energy overall. There is a rumor that Nest is now working on a smoke detector. If this is true, then it will have some serious sensors. I … [Read more...] about Nest could be working on a Smoke Detector
What’s the Difference Between an iPhone 5 and iPhone 5S? Just a few stickers.
Okay, we know that the iPhone 5S has that questionable biometric detection problem, and I am wondering if the iPhone 5S is all that. Apparently, if you want to turn your iPhone 5 into a 5S, it is as simple as applying a few stickers. These vinyl kits cost about $23.49, which is a somewhat high price to pay for this faux upgrade. I have no idea who wants to dress up … [Read more...] about What’s the Difference Between an iPhone 5 and iPhone 5S? Just a few stickers.
