Live Forever – Upload your Mind to Lifenaut.com Posted: 20 Jun 2012 02:38 PM PDT You are what you think. Does this mean you are what you believe, or does it mean that our thoughts, are precisely what makes us…. well, us? If the latter were to be the case, then it would make some sort of sense that we don’t need to die, if our thoughts and desires could be transferred to say, a digital version of ourselves then we would for the most part, continue to exist, right?

Sharp’s 90″ LED TV – Entertainment Bigger than Life Posted: 20 Jun 2012 09:52 AM PDT I love a spectacular home theater experience. There is nothing like a huge flat screen, with a fabulous sound system, some popcorn popping on the stove, all while I am in the comfort of my favorite footie pajamas. What could be better than that? How about an even bigger TV? Like the biggest one on the planet? Standing in at almost 4 feet tall with a glorious span of 6 feet and 8 inches wide, the 90″ AQUOS LED TV now has the distinction of being the world’s largest. Its picture quality is as stunning as its size, displaying crisp and clear content at the highest HD resolution available of 1080p. Despite its size, this enormous TV is actually relatively lightweight. Weighing in at only 141 lbs and with it being less than 5 inches deep, it’s not as difficult to handle as one might think. This 90″ class AQUOS features Sharp’s proprietary SmartCentral, offering direct access to the most popular apps and video on demand from services like Netflix, YouTube, CinemaNow, Hulu Plus, VUDU and, it also has web browsing and Skype capabilities and of course, built-in Wi-Fi. Sharp’s new 90″ TV is also a full HD active 3DTV and like all new Wi-Fi enabled Sharp TVs, the 90 inch features AQUOS Advantage LIVE – a free service for owners which connects them directly over the Internet to trained customer support representatives. This big screen also utilizes LED technology so it’s quite energy efficient and uses less energy than two 75-watt light bulbs and it costs only around $28 per year to operate. It is available soon at select retailers for a suggested retail price of $10,999.99 (US) with two 3D glasses included. Think of all the money you’ll be saving at the box office! source: sharpusa.com [ Sharp’s 90″ LED TV – Entertainment Bigger than Life copyright by Coolest Gadgets ] |
Posted: 20 Jun 2012 06:30 AM PDT Want to keep tabs on your things, which is important if you happen to work in an office full of kleptomaniacs? That is where the £99.95 iZON Remote Room Monitor comes in handy, where absolute trust among your colleagues is just plain missing, and you absolutely loathe having to go around the office looking for your wayward pen which was gifted to you by your late grandfather as a graduation present. With the iZON Remote Room Monitor, why not let technology help you keep an eye on your personal belongings? The iZON Remote Room Monitor can even be programmed to respond to audio or motion detection, although to put it in this setting might not be the best of ideas in a high traffic, public area. Basically, having one of these puppies around is somewhat akin to owning your very own CCTV network, or a cheap security guard who does not complain about the long hours. All you need to do is place the iZON Remote Room Monitor on any horizontal surface, or opt to mount it to a wall if you want, and adjust the angle accordingly. Login to your secure user account after that, and start streaming away! [ iZON Remote Room Monitor copyright by Coolest Gadgets ] |
Electric Skates doesn’t require you to be a Dutchman Posted: 20 Jun 2012 06:00 AM PDT I know that the Dutch have crashed out of Euro 2012 just a couple of days ago, once again a team of extremely talented players undermined by alleged infighting and an overall lack of unity. Well, you need not be a rolling Dutchman to enjoy this pair of $699.95 Electric Skates, as I am quite sure that Hammacher is more than willing to send a pair of these puppies over to your doorstep as long as you have the money to pay for it. The Electric Skates are pretty self-describing – they are basically motorized electric roller skates which are able to propel a wearer at a top speed of up to 8 mph. Of course, there are other laws of physics to be considered as well, such as the wearer being no more heavier than 180 lbs. All you need to do is strap the skates on over your shoes, ensure the dual fasteners are securely and sufficiently tightened, and let the 80-watt motor on each skate get to work. The smooth-rolling 6″ rubber tires should provide sufficient grip across most surfaces (ice not included), while there is a handheld wireless remote control that adjusts the speed of this skates. It takes around five hours to juice up each pair of skates, and removable training wheels are thrown into the mix for beginners.

Wacom introduces Bamboo Splash tablet Posted: 20 Jun 2012 05:30 AM PDT Now, when we talk about tablets in the form of the Wacom Bamboo Splash, we are not referring to the Android-powered variety – although Microsoft’s recent announcement of their Surface tablet is definitely worth checking out. The Wacom Splash Tablet is the latest family member of the Bamboo range of pen tablets which will be able to open up new avenues for creative and artistic people who want to make the jump into the world of digital art without being bogged down by any boundaries. Basically, the Wacom Bamboo Splash will be able to offer digital artwork exploration in a fun and affordable manner. It does not matter if you are an aspiring artist at home, school, work or play, the $79 Bamboo Splash will sport a modern day tablet design, while carrying Wacom’s world-renowned pressure-sensitive pen in order to deliver an exuberant drawing experience. How can you not do so when Wacom generously throws in a suite of value added software so that you can discover new ways to draw, sketch and paint – right on the computer itself? It is said that the Wacom Bamboo Splash makes creative input on the computer a snap – thanks to Bamboo’s pressure-sensitive, battery-free and cordless pen working at the heart and soul of the entire brand experience. Capable of delivering incredible comfort and freedom of movement for hours of stress-free input, it does not matter whether you use the pen for navigating purposes, to paint a landscape or to draw a portrait. The pen itself has a natural-feeling pressure that offers users a direct link to precise input control, in addition to a realistic pen-on-paper feel. Not only that, the included pen will play nice with creative software applications in order to deliver instinctive pen and brush strokes, resulting in finished artwork that comes near the spectacular. Rick Peterson, Director of Consumer Products for Wacom Technology Services, Corp., says, “Users will find that the creative software bundle, consisting of ArtRage Studio and Sketchbook Express from Autodesk, blends wonderfully with the Bamboo Splash pen for a simple and powerful way to communicate and express themselves artistically. Never before has an entry-level pen tablet from Wacom come with such a full-featured suite of software.” The Wacom Bamboo Splash will be compatible with both Mac and PC platforms, and will also be able to support Microsoft’s next generation operating system, Windows 8.

M-Edge delivers SuperShell case for the iPhone 4/4S Posted: 20 Jun 2012 05:00 AM PDT When it comes to making sure your spanking new iPhone 4S remains in pristine condition so that you are able to let it go for a good price when the next generation iPhone is released, you would definitely be out scouting for a new iPhone case, am I right? It makes perfect sense after all. Apart from that, most of the modern day devices that come with a touchscreen display tend to be made out of far sterner stuff than that of plain old glass, and can withstand its fair share of knocks and perhaps a minor drop without cracking. I do assume that having a protective case adds more of a psychological buffer than a physical one – although the latter certainly cannot be discounted. Having said that, M-Edge has announced that they will be making available their bouncy SuperShell case for the iPhone 4 as well as its successor, the iPhone 4S. Regardless of which model you pick up, they are capable of absorb a certain amount of shock and bounce when dropped. Sounds like the iPhone case for me – after all, I do suffer from a case of butterfingers once in a while, and most of the time it involves a new gadget. Somehow Murphy’s Law seem to be at work overtime where new gizmos are concerned – they tend to get abused more by accident, while those old school devices? Those somehow defy the law of gravity even when it seemed inevitable. Enough about permutations and combinations though, M-Edge’s SuperShell is made out of ultra-protective closed-cell foam, tipping the scales at a single ounce. This will not add additional weight to your smartphone, not in a noticeable manner, at least. The foam material is rather squishy in nature, where it will wrap around the edges of your iPhone in a secure manner, while the dimpled texture and ridges on the outside enable even those with sweaty palms to be able to experience a better grip. There are high-impact corners that add style and deliver the kind of “bounce in its step.” Just how much do you think this kind of “insurance” for your iPhone will cost? We are looking at a mere $29.99 a pop, making it an extremely affordable policy, if you want to put it that way. [ M-Edge delivers SuperShell case for the iPhone 4/4S copyright by Coolest Gadgets ] |
