Want to give that brain of yours a run for its money? Why not consider the 2010 Mensa Select Mind Games Winner which comes in the form of the Yikerz Magnet Game. This is an extremely attractive game of strategy that requires the winner to place all their magnets, while an interchangeable game board paves the way for more challenges. At $19.99 a pop, this game of magnet mayhem will require you to set up the board in any configuration of you can think of, where you will then place your Yikerz pieces down on the board while trying to avoid attracting pieces which have already been played. The whole idea of the game would be to get rid of all your pieces. Should Yikerz snap together, you will need to remove those pieces into your stack. You can opt to go solo, or play in 1-on-1 and in teams, depending on your preference. Nice to know this comes in a travel pouch for you to have some Yikerz fun even when you’re on-the-go!

eMachines Mini-e Home Entertainment Center

Posted: 26 Jun 2010 09:27 AM PDT

eMachines has rolled out one of the zanier small form factor desktops to date, known as the Mini-e Home Entertainment Center. Don’t be surprised by its size – it might be as small and thick as a small book, but it packs quite a punch where home theater PCs are concerned. Featuring a unique glossy black diamond shaped chassis that seemingly "floats" in a matte silver pedestal, it is capable of emitting a soft ambient green glow along the lower edge for that added touch of class whenever it is powered and ready to go. The eMachines Mini-e measures 7.1″ in diameter, tipping the scales at a mere 9 pounds which would make it rather dangerous for you to have a cat or lumbering dog around the home since either one could easily knock over the Mini-e while it is running. More on it in the extended post.

The slim and compact Mini-e ER1402 will certainly be more than able to offer full HD multimedia entertainment as well as every day computing capabilities, making it suitable not only in the living area but in the study as well, especially if you’re starved for space. After all, with its capability of being able to be snapped onto the back of most monitors or TVs, is portability at home personified. It doesn’t require a genius to get the entire setup up and running, while built-in 802.11 b/g/n wireless connectivity makes it a snap to get on the Internet straightaway. With its HDMI interface, you can hook it up to a large screen TV while an S/PDIF port allows the system to digitally connect to a home audio system. Other hardware that comes with it include a wireless keyboard and mouse, letting you play popular Flash-based social media games, surf the web, view and edit photos, stream video content from Netflix or Hulu, or watch HD movies comfortably from the sofa.

It will run on the Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit operating system, with an AMD Athlon II NEO processor making sure the proceedings go on smoothly. Graphics-wise, an NVIDIA GeForce 9200 graphics card ought to do the job just fine, while 2GB RAM is available for the Mini-e ER1402 to handle basic, everyday computing tasks, which include (but are not limited to) word processing, VOIP calls, email, spreadsheets or managing family finances. Other features include a quartet of USB 2.0 ports, a multi-in-one digital media card reader and a 160GB hard drive. At $299.99 a pop, this is definitely worth considering if you’re looking for a casual computer in your home.

Acer Aspire AS8943G ready to hit the US

Posted: 25 Jun 2010 08:04 PM PDT

Acer is already part of the world's second largest manufacturer of notebooks, and will aim to further augment their position with the introduction of the new Acer Aspire AS8943G. This notebook comes in a completely new modern and bold industrial design, where it aims to merge both form and function in a single design. Acer will throw in leading technologies and world-class entertainment and usability features as you will read all about it in the extended post, so without much further ado, let us get to the nitty gritty.

The exterior of the new Aspire notebooks sport an aluminium cover which isn’t there just for aesthetic purposes, but will also protect the seamless, frameless display. When you open the lid, you will find glossy and matte finishes as well as silver and black accents surrounding the new chiclet style keyboard, alongside a dedicated numeric keypad for those who love to crunch numbers. When it comes to portable entertainment, you will find a brilliant CineCrystal 18.4″ edge-to-edge glass LED back-lit display with full high-definition (1080p) resolution, capable of delivering stunningly rich lifelike audio and visuals. What’s visuals without great audio? The Dolby optimized Acer CineSurround sound system with five built-in speakers and a dedicated subwoofer handles the job perfectly, while a Blu-ray drive will make sure your eyes receive razor sharp visuals on the display's 16:9 aspect ratio.

Processing power is also not forgotten as the Aspire AS8943G Series notebooks will run on the Intel Core i7 Quad Core Processor with Intel Turbo Boost Technology, while being aided by at least 4GB RAM, which is expandable to 16GB if you are looking for extraordinary speed. Not only that, graphically-speaking, the AS8943G will not disappoint at all with the ATI Mobility Radeon HD5850 Graphics card with 1GB of dedicated video memory full well capable of offering full DirectX 11 support in order to handle the latest 3D games with aplomb. Prices start from $1,549.99 upwards, so if you want a multimedia powerhouse for a notebook, this could very well fit the bill.

Etymotic CUSTOM FIT earmold program

Posted: 25 Jun 2010 07:47 PM PDT

It is said that our earprints are pretty much in the same way as our fingerprints, in which they are unique. That might be the case, but good thing the cops prefer to get our ID via fingerprints since having to press my ear onto an ink pad is not my idea of fun. Etymotic, however, sees things differently simply for one reason – they’re in the audio business, which is why their CUSTOM•FIT earmold program makes it affordable and a snap for average consumers to enjoy the same kind of uniquely customized earmolds that musicians and other sound professionals depend on when it comes to unequalled sound quality and long hours of listening comfort.

Etymotic is the brains behind in-ear technology that happened more than a couple of decades ago, and continues to advance the standards for high-fidelity, noise-isolating listening products. With its CUSTOM•FIT earmold program, you will be able to choose this as an optional upgrade for each Etymotic earphone and headset purchase, helping you experience the ultimate in personal listening comfort, where each is perfectly crafted for each individual's ears.

The CUSTOM•FIT upgrade program will deliver custom-matched earmolds to replace the eartips that come with Etymotic earphones and headsets. Since the CUSTOM•FIT earmold is an perfect replica of your own ear, you can be sure that it will offer the best seal for impeccable sound quality and the highest degree of comfort imaginable. And if anybody asks you about the lack of a comfortable fit on your ear, you can tell them that this is just made for you and nobody else, not because you’re purchasing some mass market made-in-China eartips. Etymotic knows that the economy isn’t exactly in the best frame at the moment, which is why this process costs $100 per Etymotic product that is deemed to be incredibly affordable. It will take anywhere from a fortnight to 3 weeks for it to ship to your doorstep.

Not only that, it will even work when you’re soaking wet since it is sealed for water resistance to 1m for 30 minutes. A couple of included AAA batteries ought to give it around 75 hours total run-time.

Cue Acoustics to offer Radio Model r1

Posted: 25 Jun 2010 07:26 PM PDT

Cue Acoustics aims to further their cause in the quest to be a big name when it comes to home audio devices with the latest release of their Radio Model r1. This will be an updated model from the Cue Radio Model r1, and make no mistake about it, Cue Acoustics will do all in their power to further improve its already great sound, having thrown in a trio of tailored offerings to the mix. First of all, Cue Acoustics and Outlaw Audio have come together to develop the "Outlaw Signature Edition." This special edition will see the inclusion of some high-end features that were specially designed for the most discriminating music listener—including a global "Position" setting that optimizes the r1's output to match its placement. This means you no longer need to measure the dimensions of your room to get the perfect audio setup. Apart from that, the "Talk" sound profile reduces some of the "boominess" of talk radio. Interested? The Outlaw Edition will retail for $399, similar to the standard r1 and is available exclusively in gloss black. As for the "Hospitality Edition", it will feature a highly customizable set of features, making it ideal for luxury hotels and resort brands. It will also show off the hotel brand logo on the display whenever the r1 is turned on for a more targeted marketing slant, with custom alarm behaviors and volume limits thrown into the mix so that your neighbors can sleep in peace. Last but not least, Cue has a new customization service which will target the premium gift market, where more dough will result in the r1 being pre-programmed with a personal message or picture on its display.
