Dec 27, 2012 08:00 am | Alison All Your Bartending Tools in One   During busy times of entertaining friends and family we all become master bartenders. No one ever seems to want the same drink, so you become a mixologist. You get lemons, limes, oranges, spices and herbs involved. The bar resembles a hoarders home. And you need more tools in the arsenal to make the perfect drinks. Arm yourself for the holidays or any days where you find yourself playing master of the bar. The Bar10der provides a 10-in-1 bar tool to conquer about anyone's needs – "the ultimate at-home bartending tool" as they refer to it.  Think of it as a Swiss Army Knife for the bar. First off you have some of the more obscure and lesser used tools: a muddler to crush things, reamer to get freshly squeezed juice into the mix, channel knife for creating twists, and a zester for your citrus. Also included are more common devices: a jigger to measure ½ or 1 ounce pours, expandable stirring tool, 4" knife, corkscrew, bottle opener and strainer. With all 10 tools there should be no drink in the book you cannot conquer. This Bar10der runs $49.99 at bar10der.com and is available in four colors. The site also feature some fun drink ideas to put your tool to use.

Touted to be an impressive home cinema system, the 100-inch class LG “HECTO” Laser TV will be made up of a special screen as well as an external Ultra Short Throw (UST) projection unit. This particularly unique system will be demonstrated for the first time at CES 2013 that is happening in just a fortnight's time at Las Vegas, Nevada, where it will deliver Full HD 1080p resolution as well as an incredible contrast, all thanks to LG’s advanced laser-based illumination system. Havis Kwon , President and CEO of the LG Electronics Home Entertainment Company, said, “LG’s 100-inch class Laser TV takes projection technology and makes it perfectly suitable for both the boardroom and the living room. In the coming year, LG will continue to introduce innovative TV products to provide an outstanding productivity and entertainment experience for our customers.” Apart from its picture quality and large screen, LG’s 100-inch class Laser TV is said to deliver an uncanny theater-like experience at home, although you need not go through the hassle and headache of a difficult installation that previous projector-based systems require. Neither do you need to make space for a considerable distance from the screen to end up with a large image like a standard projector system, as LG’s Laser TV lets you place the lens a mere 22 inches (approximately 56 centimeters) from the screen, now how about that? You also have the option to place it near floor or fasten it to the ceiling for added flexibility. Other hardware specifications of the LG Laser TV include 1080p Full HD resolution and 1,000,000:1 dynamic contrast ratio, a digital tuner, two 10W built-in speakers that are embedded in the projection unit, three HDMI inputs, an optical audio output, and a RS-232 interface. Expect it to run up to 25,000 hours without the need for any replacement, making it last approximately five times longer than mercury-based lamps. Any takers?

Considering how the world has turned out to be a more and more dangerous place by the day, it makes perfect sense to enlist whatever kind of help possible to help you in securing your property or area where you live. Just how does Secom's autonomous flying surveillance robots work? For instance, whenever there is an unauthorized person or vehicle that enters a parking lot of commercial facilities, manufacturing plant, site of a storehouse, or other sites where it patrols, the robot will approach said person or vehicle, followed by snapping photos of it. This would come in handy for security forces to track a suspicious looking vehicle, as well as operate in areas where there are no surveillance cameras or cameras which are too far away to capture a decent shot or video recording. Of course, it does make one wonder whether someone with malicious intent would just shoot down these robots, and will the robot be smart enough to perform evasive maneuvers? Perhaps, or I might just be getting my imagination ahead of me. Still, this would greatly assist security forces around buildings to perform a more thorough check and patrol of the area for sure, and assuming Secom's flying robots go about their business quietly, these mechanical automatons might just be stealthy enough to capture a robbery in progress. The robot will carry a laser sensor, camera, communication device, computer, and LED lamps among others, measuring around 80cm in diameter while tipping the scale at 1.6kg. It has a battery reserve that allows it to fly non-stop for approximately 15 minutes, and we do wonder what kind of CMOS sensor this bad boy to carry, as not all places it is going to patrol will be well lighted, and is there a flash function built-in?

I am not going to take sides as to which is the better franchise, as each of them has their own merit, but one thing's for sure – both of them are cash cows which have yet to be fully milked. Case in point, the £39.95 Star Trek Webcam, allowing you to communicate with aliens. Wait a minute, I meant, your friends, right in front of your computer. Voice control for computers are not quite on the same level as that of the USS Enterprise just yet, so you will still have to do your fair share of button clicking and typing, but to have the USS Enterprise webcam hover above your computer screen is definitely a statement of intent, and it tells the rest of the world just which sci-fi series you prefer. The USS Enterprise Starship webcam is a plug and play USB device, and comes with an adjustable flex so that you can set it up easily, while the engine nacelles light up when plugged in with the deflector dish holding the focusable camera for that touch of realism.

After all, there is the word "perfect" thrown into the mix, so expectations should run pretty high if you are on the lookout for a French press that churns out that perfectly brewed cup of coffee. Surely if the brew turns out otherwise, you might want to look for the culprit elsewhere – like the quality of coffee beans, perhaps? The Only Perfect Temperature Electric French Press has been touted to be the only French press of its kind that will automatically brew coffee at the perfect temperature for rich, flavorful coffee. It will not be as clumsy as the imprecise heating that happens with a kettle, as this device will work to heat water to between 197° F and 204° F, ensuring that the temperature hovers within that range all the time so that you can extract optimal flavor from beans, followed by transferring the hot water to the French press so that your tongue can dance across the bouquets of flavor that bursts from this pot of coffee. Sporting a durable borosilicate glass body, this bad boy can hold up to 4 cups of coffee, and will be accompanied by a stainless steel plunger and screen.
