It is great to see the players duking it out.  Die hard fans are showing their colors with the latest gear and gadgets sporting their team's logo. With hats, jerseys, jackets and more fans express their true personalities. But why not take it to the next level and decorate your home? Hammacher Schlemmer has just the addition to show your spirit. Welcome to the Giant Inflatable Crouching NFL Player! At 5 feet high he shows your team loyalty but does not take over the front yard. Available in 21 different team versions, each has the team logo on the helmet and trim colors on the jersey. This defender is ready to attack the quarterback and will certainly show your neighbors who you support. To inflate simply set him on the ground before turning on the built in electrical pump. Voila, he is ready in minutes. And deflation is just as easy. Four stakes are included to keep him "grounded" so to speak. The durable polyester construction is weather resistant so you know the $139.95 investment will keep for many seasons. When the game is over your friend can live in the 10" x 10" x 8" storage box included. And if you prefer a more celebratory look, check out the Giant Inflatable Standing NFL Player for the same price. So commit to the ultimate in showing your team pride and add an (inflatable) fan to the house.

Well, Acer intends to keep their hands on the mantle of having the thinnest Ultrabook in the market for some time to come with the release of the Acer S7 Ultrabook which is touted to be nearly as thin as a tablet. The Acer S7 Ultrabook starts to sound more and more Apple-ish when you read on about it, considering how it boasts of an all-aluminum unibody design (can you say that this is going to be way too easy to damage or get scratched?), you know for sure that this is not going to weigh you down, making it one of the more ideal devices to carry around whenever you are on the showfloor. Don't be fooled by its exceptionally thin and light form factor, as it is said to be resilient and durable at the same time. Depending on the model of your choice, it measures as thin as 0.47" and tips the scales at a mere 2.29 pounds. You will be able to choose from either a 13.3-inch or 11.6-inch full high-definition (1920 x 1080) touch screen display, where it will be amply protected by rigid lids made of white Gorilla Glass 2 or aluminum. The S7-391's lid is able to tilt back a full 180 degrees, so that you can use it flat against a table or desk, similar to how you would make use of a tablet. Not only that, a hotkey is able to rotate the view ny 180 degrees, making it a snap to share what you are viewing with other folks. Underneath the hood lies a 3rd generation Intel Core i5-3317UB or i7-3517U processor, an SSD, an embedded Li-Polymer battery that delivers up to 6 hours of battery life, and an optional second battery that doubles computing time. There is also a micro HDMI to VGA cable and a USB to RJ45 port. The Aspire S7 Series 11.6" and 13.3" models will retail for $1,199 and $1,399, respectively from the end of this month onwards.

Either way, November is coming, so you might want to brace your wallet for the $279.95 The Only Indoor Rotisserie Turkey Fryer from Hammacher. The name itself says it all – this indoor fryer comes with a rotating rotisserie which is touted to be able to cook a crispy, succulent whole turkey faster than ever before, all minus the nuisance of outdoor frying. Not only that, it is a whole lot healthier as well as it uses 33% less oil compared to standard vats. In other words, after performing some mathematical calculations, this particular fryer is able to cook an 18-lb. turkey in slightly more than an hour, now how about that? Thanks to the unit’s alternating-rotating spit, it will turn the bird slowly as it cooks, resulting in a uniformly crisp exterior and moist, flavorful meat. Other features include a lighted indicator, an 1800-watt heating element, a 120-minute timer, and a meat thermometer for the most delicious of results.

Well, you can now bring home a cute version of the good admiral himself in the form of the $29.99 Admiral Ackbar Talking Plush, where he comes across as a Star Wars Celebration 2012 exclusive. All you need to do is give this cute little plush a nice squeeze, and Admiral Ackbar will then blurt out his signature phrase – as long as the batteries inside last, of course. Do bear in mind that only limited quantities will be available, as once they are sold out, the only way you can get your hands on one would be to look out for it on a second hand shop or via online channels. To make sure it retains a sense of authenticity, there are the words "Star Wars Celebration VI" printed on the bottom. The Admiral Ackbar Talking Plush measures approximately 8″ in height.

One for the TV, another for the DVR and yet one more for the DVD player.. we wont even let the XBox enter into the equation. I thought I’d cut the clutter and get a universal remote and that idea crashed and burned when I was never able to remember what all the buttons did, or even get them to work every time. Apps were an interesting option, but I needed more than one of those for each device… Using an iDevice as a remote isnt really a new option, but the Roomie is. Taking the place of your confusing old universal remote, the Roomie takes control of your home theater components, usually via direct communication over your home network. Roomie also serves up a customized TV guide and feedback information, like volume or run-time. Don’t let me mislead you, this isn’t just a simple universal device, Roomie allows integration with Tivo,   DirectTV, Roku and many others, as its infrared adaptors support almost any device. The Roomie allows iTunes, Airplay, Lutron, Insteon, and Sonos Support and adapts if your devices change addresses. Roomie not only replaces your existing remotes, offering all of their available controls, but sometimes it can add even more advanced options. Roomie really does provide one of the most powerful infrared solutions available, all without line of sight requirements, no batteries or goofy tabletop apparatus. It lets you hold the control of your entire entertainment arsenal right in the palm of your hand… and all this can be yours for under 10 bucks at iTunes.com.

Those that know me know that I stink at keeping earbuds untangled. So I'm always on the lookout for more creative ways to store them. Most gadgets I run into involve winding them up. But a company called Moxytronix decided that protecting them while in use or not is the way to go. They created, CordCruncher, a set of earbuds with a storage device built in. It keeps them organized and protected. CordCruncher consists of earbuds encased in an elastic sleeve about 16 inches long. When ready to use simply hold the sleeve at one end and gently pull the earbuds out from the other. They expand up to 3.5 feet – ample length. Plug in to any standard audio jack and you are tuning in. When ready to rehouse the buds hold each end of the sleeve and pull back towards the jack.  The cords return to their home where they can be easily wound up to put in your pocket or bag. Yet you will be tangle free next time you need to hear tunes. CordCruncher is available in red, blue or black for $24.95 at CordCruncher.com. Sure that is more expensive than an decent pair of earbuds, but the damage you avoid by having protective casing should – at least in my case – extend the life of the buds. So avoid the tangles in your future with CordCruncher.
