Most of you have probably experienced the hassle of large birds. They are fun to feed and seem really sweet and all, until they start dive bombing you in the back yard or raiding your shrubs and leaving their unwanted deposits on patios, cars, you name it. Time for a device that will help scare the suckers away, not hurt them and not require electricity.
The Solar Powered Bird B Gone Bird Repeller is here to help you keep seagulls, pigeons, crows and other large pests out of the way. Each lightweight, mountable unit includes a continuous motion arm to deter the bigger birds. At 30 RPMs the arms will each defend a 5 foot diameter area, giving you clearance to sit, stand or walk in peace. Use them on any flat surface at home or where your customers may walk. Basically anywhere you want the pests to not haunt. And no need for power as these repellers come with a solar panel. Cloudy day? Nighttime? No problem as 2 AA rechargeable batteries are included to store energy during the sunny times. Each order includes two repellers and goes for $64.92 on Amazon. So stop the harassment by big birds! Keep them away with Bird B Gone.
While many of us might dream about owning a Porsche in our garage (and not the scaled down replica, but the real deal), not all of us will eventually be able to afford one of these puppies. Still, it is rather crazy to hear of a toy that could purchase you a real life Porsche with some cash left over to boot. I am referring to this $125,000 Porsche 917 Le Mans Raceway, which is a full-sized Porsche 917 replica. You will not find any horsepower underneath the hood, but it actually conceals a 1:32-scale working wooden slot car track that is faithful to the iconic Le Mans raceway. Not only that, it has been lovingly painted in the same color scheme and #20 race number, paying homage to the classic 1971 movie that starred Steve McQueen.
This Porsche 917 replica even comes with genuine race-worn GT prototype tires on aluminum three-piece rims, coupled with working headlights and taillights. Its precisely molded replica cowling will open up in a clamshell manner at the touch of a button, revealing the track within. No quarter was spared to introduce it to the world in handcrafted detail, and the raceway has even been built with realistic landscaping, sporting period signage that has been illuminated by working streetlights.
Summer might be over, but this is no reason not to indulge in a little bit of remote controlled goodness once in a while. After all, when you were growing up as a kid in a less privileged home, remote controlled toys were out of the family budget, and since you are already a working man at this point in your life, you might as well splurge a little bit on yourself with the $39.99 R/C Micro Copter. Just because it is a Micro Copter, this does not mean that it is no big on fun! The R/C Micro Copter measures a mere 3" in length, operating on the IR 3 radio band, sporting three channel control, and it could prove to be an annoyance to your cat or dog.
Of course, since a cat does seem to have greater vertical achieving capability than a dog (read: jumping ability), you might want to be careful lest your pet cat tears into the R/C Micro Copter with vigor, thinking that it is doing you a favor by catching its prey. You will need to stock up on rechargeable batteries if you are going to spend plenty of time with the R/C Micro Copter in the long run though, considering how it runs on half a dozen AA batteries.
We all know that an air conditioner has one main reason – to keep you as well as your family nice and cool during the summer, or whenever you start to feel too hot. Not only that, for those of us living in tropical climates, an air conditioner comes in handy during the rainy days where clothes are pretty difficult to dry naturally, so hanging them outside of the air conditioner unit's compressor does the trick. And since you have your air conditioner turned on, it goes without saying you would have closed all the doors and windows so that it needs not work too hard and consume more electricity, and indirectly reduces the number of mosquitoes in the vicinity. Well, LG might be on to something here with their latest and most advanced residential air conditioner (RAC) that relies on ultrasonic wave technology which will help repel mosquitoes.
LG's "Anti-Mosquito" air conditioner has proven itself in tests conducted in a Peet Grady chamber, where it is said to be able to deter on average 64% of malaria-transmitting female Anopheles mosquitoes within 24 hours, and achieved an overall rating of 82%. Not only does this offer you greater peace of mind, the LG Anti-Mosquito air conditioner will also carry with it all the other advantages found in LG's AC technologies, meaning you get to enjoy powerful cooling and superb reliability even under extreme operating temperatures.
Jun-hwa Jeong, General Manager of Air Conditioning and Energy Solutions at LG Electronics, said, "In Nigeria, as well as in a number of other African countries, malaria continues to be a prevalent threat. LG takes great pride in tailoring products and technologies to the specific needs of consumers. By matching technologies directly to these region-specific challenges, we can create real solutions that will help bring about profound and meaningful changes to consumers. The Anti-Mosquito air conditioner is a great example of our commitment to improving both health security and the quality of life in Africa by applying technological innovations in intelligent ways."
As a gamer, you take the kind of hardware you use very, very seriously. In fact, you rarely switch brands unless the situation is so desperate on your side, that you feel you are unable to move on to the next level in your gaming career until you take that fateful plunge. Well, if you are a gamer with an unlimited budget, then life is a whole lot easier when it comes to making such a decision, but assuming your bank account is not as deep as Scrooge McDuck's, and you do not have that much greenbacks in your pocket or wallet either, perhaps it is time to set your sights on something that delivers a whole lot of bang for relatively few bucks. Case in point, the ROCCAT Lua Tri-Button gaming mouse from Germany, and to sweeten the deal, it does not matter if you are right handed or a southpaw – the ROCCAT Lua Tri-Button gaming mouse is an ambidextrous gaming device that offers performance, precision and comfort in a single form factor.
Boasting a classic three-button mouse design packaged in a sleek manner, ROCCAT Studios' latest release is said to pack advanced gaming engineering into a sleek and clean ambidextrous form, delivering a comfortable fit for just about anyone's hand. Sporting an advanced Pro Optic R2 sensor, you will be able to choose from one of seven DPI settings – 250, 500, 1000, 1250, 1500, 1750, and 2000 thanks to a dedicated DPI button, allowing you to switch resolution on-the-fly in order to play with the kind of accuracy and speed which matches your style. Heck, if you want, you can even program the button so that it will switch only between the DPI settings which you most frequently use.
Since it sports a perfectly-balanced, ambidextrous V-shaped design, the ROCCAT Lua is capable of delivering supreme comfort to both left- and right-handed gamers. Not only that, with No-Sweat side grips, it ensures a steady hold even when things get hairy in-game, while its soft touch surface will let you play comfortably even during extended gaming marathons. The ROCCAT Lua Tri-Button gaming mouse can be yours for €29.99 or $29.99, depending on which side of the pond you reside in.
