iWallet to prevent unwanted loss of valuables

Posted: 20 Mar 2011 11:45 AM PDT

Safety and security are two things that are more or less floating in the back of one’s head these days, as it certainly helps you sleep better at night when they’re well managed. For those of us who are part of the paranoid android group, you will be pleased to know that CEO and founder of iWallet Corp., Steve Cabouli, has come up with the iWallet which intends to protect others from easily gaining access to your wallet’s contents.

Take for example, parents who have actually kleptomaniac children living under the same roof as them – or perhaps, employees at a health club who have access to lockers. The iWallet is here to save the day, since it is smart enough to alert you whenever someone attempts to steal it, and will also do its bit in providing additional peace of mind just in case you either forget your cell phone or iWallet at a particular place and decide waltz off, thinking that everything else is fine and dandy in your little, perfect world. To know more about how the iWallet works, why not read on in the extended post and be amazed?

The iWallet will rely on biometric technology to do its job well, where it was specially developed to recognize the owner’s fingerprint choice. Should there be any attempt in unauthorized access, one will be locked out completely. When you combine that with available Carbon Fiber hard case construction, the iWallet also doubles up as a portable safe to keep your precious valuables out of reach of unwanted and unauthorized hands. Heck, apart from Carbon Fiber, you can also choose from fiberglass and polycarbonate models.

You name it, the iWallet is able to provide an additional level of security for cash, credit cards, driver’s license and social security cards amongst others. With RFID theft on the rise these days as well, the iWallet does its part in shielding all information capturing attempts via RFID – now how about that?

This $299 wallet can also pair up with cell phones via Bluetooth connectivity, so whenever your iWallet and phone are separated by 15 to 40 feet from one other, an audible alarm will enter into action to function as a theft deterrent or reminder, depending on the context.

With so many devices these days getting the touchscreen function, it makes perfect sense for those with older or more ancient devices to have successors that keep up with the times. Of course, there are folks out there who love nothing better than to roll up their sleeves and perform some DIY hack on existing machines to be relevant in this day and age.

Case in point, throwing in touchscreen capabilities to an Eee PC, which is one of the earlier netbooks to really take off. If you’re interested, you can always follow this step-by-step guide which helps you install the relevant touchscreen hardware and make sure your netbook does not end up as a paperweight.

The hardware comprises of two parts, with the transparent film covering the screen and the driver board that reads inputs. The film itself will feature an adhesive layer on the back which sticks to the LCD panel. In order to install it however, you must first must remove the panel from the bezel while finding a place to house the driver board.

iPhone controls your kitchen island

Posted: 20 Mar 2011 10:57 AM PDT

No longer is the superwoman multi-tasker the queen of the kitchen – it might seem as though your kitchen island will soon be controlled by nothing but an iPhone! Yup, the smartphone that has clearly revolutionalized the way we look at how humans interact with phones is not only able to let you enjoy your favorite music on the go, snap great photos and shoot videos, it will now be able to control stuff in your kitchen island.

There is a hydraulic scissor lift that is bolted to the cement, where a small frame is also built on top of the scissor lift table. Right on top of that is a subfloor, flooring, followed by the island. Its cabinet doors are located on the other side, where all of them will come with safety push button switches which ensures electricity from the Smart Home Insteon switches are “killed” to prevent any movement whenever the doors are not fully closed.

What are some of the other iPhone controlled items that you would love to have in your pad?
