But I sure can't just do it via one of those mysterious 6th senses. So yep, I need recipes and guidance. Whether a specific recipe app for all the instructions or a conversion app to go from cups to grams or even a cooking show, I can't cook without them. And though technology certainly helps my cooking – never should the two collide. The last thing a person wants to do is muck up their tablet screen or case with morsels from your concoction. Belkin put their expertise to work and created a solution that fits the technology aided cook. For just $29.99 on Amazon.com the Belkin Kitchen Stand leaves your tablet where you need it as you chef. It has a rubberized, fairly compact base to live anywhere on the counter or table without easily sliding around. The Kitchen Stand can hold a variety of tablet sizes too – some even with their case. View in one of two ways to meet your need: stand your pad upright for longer range viewing or at a lower angle for reading up close. The unit comes with a magnetic tipped stylus and stand too. Yes, that means no more greasy fingers on your screen to find what you need. So whether you are the cook or you have one in your life, save them and their tablet and get it set-up right in the kitchen.

There is never a week that goes by where I don't have a bump or bruise. At least I admit my fault. So you can imagine, when it comes to gadgets I make the investment in the proper protection. In which case, I just found my next iPad case. Ten-97 made it their mission to come up with a truly protective case. They believe "great protection does not have to be equated with bulk. And elegant style does not have to sacrifice true protection." Within their 9701 and 9702 lines of iPad cases is their trademarked P-TEK™ system includes four layers that protect from shock and vibration. Included is everything from heavy-duty ballistic nylon to foam. Collectively the layers prevent damage from a 6 foot drop. Check the video below to see it in action. But who wants protection without style? Have both. The handcrafted covers include versions in calfskin or nylon. Take the zippered portfolio approach with the 9702 series for $149.99 on their website. Or go for an integrated stand version in the 9701 series in leather at $149.99, or nylon at $99.99. Cases fit all 3 generations of iPad too. So whether you are part of the klutz club like me, or you want a stylish and professional looking case for your iPad, Ten-97 has you (and your pad) covered.   [ Let the iPad Take a Fall copyright by Coolest Gadgets ] Read More Oct 15, 2012 09:12 am | Julie Introducing Xbox Music – Another Reason to Love your Xbox We certainly have a connection to the Xbox, we quickly succumbed to the pressure of a nine year old to get the 360 with the Kinect, so now the old Xbox is in the den, along with several hundred dollars worth of games, and so begins the brand new game collection. Now, I hear the new Xbox 720 is on the horizon, but that kid’s, is tomorrow’s story. Today, the story is about the brand new Xbox Music service, the first all-in-one music option that gives you the ability to stream all kinds of custom playlists for free,  you can also subscribe to all the music you want, or you can actually download all your favorite songs. Designed to compete with iTunes (and everyone else for that matter) and through the power of the cloud, you can be grooving to the music across all your listening options, including tablets, PC’s and TV’s. Offering free streaming, and an Xbox Music Pass option that allows you ad-free, unlimited playback of any track in their subscription catalog across your tablets, PCs, phones or Xbox 360 for under 10 bucks per month and other options that unlock unlimited access to tens of thousands of music videos on your Xbox 360, and if you’re wondering, an option that can add almost any content your already own (from wherever you own it) to your personal collection, even if  Xbox Music doesn’t have it.  With more than 30 million songs in the global catalog, you can personalize your collection and create awesome playlists and then you can store it all in the cloud. Xbox Music begins rolling out around the world tomorrow on Xbox 360, and later this month on smartphones and tablets running Windows 8, of course they will be adding many additional platforms later, just stay tuned to xbox.com to keep updated.

They had a lovely hotel at a fabulous resort and I helped her pick out bathing suits and shorts for almost 3 months before they left. On the first day she swallowed some water while brushing her teeth… and the rest of that vacation became a blur of bathroom tile, rough toilet paper and Pepto-Bismol. If only she had this perfect little travel gadget, the Nano UV Dual Scanner, useful when traveling in strange lands or unfamiliar locations, or even when you're at home, you can confidently eliminate many harmful microorganisms that you could be exposed to, in both your drinking water, or on surfaces. This nifty gizmo can kill about 99% of many microorganisms include bacteria like E. Coli, Staphylococcus Aureus, and Salmonella Typhimurium ,and viruses like H1N1 and other pesky critters like dust mites and bedbugs on surfaces exposed to the Nano UV in under 10 seconds, and it can get your water safe to drink in well under a minute. The unit comes with a built in timers for both water and surface disinfection, has child safe buttons and an automatic shutoff, operates on 4 AAA batteries and is an environmentally friendly alternative when sprays and chemicals cant be used. The Nano UV measures 6″ W x 1 3/4″ D x 2″ H and can be in your travel bag for only 99 bucks, from Amazon.com.

It seems that a photogeek is one who (obviously) has his or her life intertwined with a DSLR, where one will need to opt between a heavy and bulky camera hanging by your neck so that you will be able to access it easily to capture impromptu shots when the situation calls for it, or to stash your sensitive and expensive equipment away somewhere so that it remains safe and sound from the dangers of knocks, drops and scratches. The Capture SLR Camera Clip System might just help photogeeks achieve a healthy balance, where it functions as a compact ultralight clip system for your camera. Touted to be a snap to install and use, it does not matter if you are a soccer mom, an avid hiker or a conventional photographer, the Capture SLR Camera Clip System is able to cater to all of those mentioned lifestyles and then some. Securely fastening itself onto any strap or belt, it will be able to hold your expensive DSLR rigidly until the situation calls for it to spring into action, where a single press of a button will see the quick-release plate slide free, letting you snap away. Placing it back where it belongs is equally easy, where a single click will let you know it is safely tucked there. Made out of compact ultralight aluminum, you might want to retain that gym membership of yours since this will not help you build any more muscles on the go.

Which is why instead of bending down or leaning forward, picking up the vacuum cleaner itself from one room to another, the $199.95 Backpack Vacuum, as it is called, will remain nicely on your back to make you into a dust bustin' Ninja Turtle lookalike. You basically wear the Backpack Vacuum like a regular backpack, where it is lightweight in nature (tipping the scales at around 7.5 pounds) so that your back will not be strained, where it will remain flushed against your body so that it delivers optimal mobility as you slip into tight corners and access all the different areas and spaces which require cleaning. The inclusion of soft padding ensures that extra cushioning is delivered to the back, while adjustable shoulder straps pave the way for a comfortable fit. Colonies of dust bunnies will be no match for its powerful 800-watt motor, where a HEPA filter removes allergens to boot. Each purchase comes with a handy half dozen cleaning tools, two extension wands, mesh storage bag for accessories, and disposable paper and reusable fabric bags.

The thing is, how many of us actually need to make presentations to a small group of people in a room at a whim? If that is the case, carrying a pico projector makes sense, but a tablet would also be able to serve its purpose – albeit less effectively than having information on your presentation projected onto the wall or a viewable surface. The thing is, pico projectors lack the brightness level and battery life to last the distance, and the AAXA P300 pico projector intends to address at least one of the issues mentioned. For starters, the AAXA P300 pico projector will feature a 300 lumens brightness which places it at the higher echelon for its device segment, not to mention carrying the ability to throw out images and videos at a far higher resolution count that most of the other pico projectors. I am referring to a 720p resolution, although its 75 minute battery life does leave plenty to be desired despite being in line of expectations for a pico projector. Still, it can be said to be an achievement considering how the brightness level has increased. At point of publishing, the AAXA P300 from AAXA Technologies is deemed to be the "world's brightest battery-powered pico projector" – anyone out there willing to dispute this statement? Share your thoughts in the comments below. What about the hardware specifications crammed into the AAXA P300? Well, it will come with a revolutionary new pico optical engine that does 300 peak lumens at a high definition (HD) resolution of 1280 x 800 pixels, running on Texas Instruments' DLP Technology. Not only that, the Vibrant Color LED technology which is used to deliver dazzling color quality also touts an operating life of over 15,000 hours, where is said to be able to generate a viewing experience of up to 120". A robust ARM processor runs underneath the hood, allowing it to handle high resolution 720p video, picture, and picture slide-show playback. We would advise you to hook this up to a power supply if you intend to watch movies with it, in addition to connecting a decent sound system since the dual 1-watt speakers would not be able to fill up a room with tub-thumping audio. So, any takers?

I am referring to the lack of an Internet connection, even though there does not seem to be anything wrong with the initial layout of the place as your eyes tell you at first glance. Perhaps the wireless router that the organization uses lacks the kind of wireless "punch" to send the signal across, or it is just something as unexplainable as the Bermuda Triangle, but seeing that the former is the far likelier affair, how about bringing in the calvary in the form of the Western Digital My Net Wi-Fi Range Extender? As its name suggests, the My Net Wi-Fi Range Extender from Western Digital will cater for those who want to expand their wireless connectivity, be it at home or at the office. Perhaps you own this really vast tract of land and would want to introduce the wonders of Wi-Fi to the entire area, only to realize that the wireless signals fall within the four walls of your home, leaving you to go without Internet connectivity on your Wi-Fi only iPad when you are seated under the apple tree right out there in the garden. The My Net Wi-Fi Range Extender should be able to get the job done on your behalf, where it is tipped to deliver faster, stronger and more reliable wireless network coverage to Wi-Fi enabled devices. Just what is the trade secret of the My Net Wi-Fi Range Extender that allows it to perform seeming miracles? For starters, it will rely on a 3×3 multiple input, multiple output (MIMO) antenna array design, which is definitely different from the 2×2 design that is found in majority of the other devices in the same market segment. This particular engineering design will allow customers to significantly extend the Wi-Fi signal from their existing routers or gateways, translating to the ability to enjoy HD streaming movies, online gaming and video calls in remote areas of the home without compromising on speedy wireless-N speeds where possible. Not only that, the My Net Wi-Fi Range Extender will also boast of a Gigabit Ethernet port so that your wired-only entertainment devices will also be able to get a piece of the action. Expect to fork out $89.99 for the My Net Wi-Fi Range Extender, which does sound cheaper than remodeling your home and getting rid of some concrete beams and walls to let the Wi-Fi signal waft through.
