Given the chance, I am sure many of us would try electronics before we buy. Between the lack of touching and feeling via online shopping and stiff return policies of stores – we often have to make a buying decision without full knowledge. Sure, some devices are a no brainer when they are released. But inevitably we make a bad purchase. Imagine if you were able to touch and feel and play with the best new gadgets before we buy. Experiment with the Espresso maker, jabber on the Jawbone. What a way to save time and money. YBUY membership club, a startup, intends to offer exactly that. For just a $24.95 you can use a product for up to a month. At the end of the month the decision is up to you. If you opt to buy, your $24.95 goes towards the cost of the gadget. Not impressed? Dress the device back in its packaging and send it back. Shipping is free both ways. Sound too good to be true? YBUY membership is currently capped. However there are reportedly over 50,000 consumers on the waiting list. And in July YBUY received $1M in funding from Google Chairman Eric Schmidt's investment firm Tomorrow Ventures. With momentum like that and considering the amount of time, hassle and money we could save on the purchases we should have never made, the wait for membership may be worth it.

| Lego Star Wars Darth Vader Desk Lamp Posted: 03 Aug 2012 06:30 AM PDT
The lightsaber that belongs to Darth Vader will have at least a dozen LEDs to light up your workspace, and for those of you who are extremely concerned as to whether this is officially sanctioned by Lucasfilm, you can breathe easy. It is an officially licensed LEGO and Lucasfilm collectible, and will run off a trio of AAA batteries. Of course, you can alternatively have it run from USB power, which is always an option if you are going to be by your desk all day long, or should I say, night?

| Mind Controlled Movie Director Posted: 03 Aug 2012 06:00 AM PDT
You will need to have the right dose of concentration and relaxation of course, and during some of the more crucial moments to achieve an action, you are required to blink your eyes. Basically, you have the power to choose, and this is like a modern day “Choose Your Own Adventure” series, where you can select who lives and dies, or whether the hero ends up victorious or loses, or even how close an arrow will fly towards the bullseye. The headset relies on electroencephalogram technology in order to detect the electric signals that are generated by the brain. The more you master your mind control, you are able to change plotlines and choose new endings in each of the four included movies. The Mind Controlled Movie Director will play nice with Windows 7, Vista, XP, Mac OS X 10.6.5+ operating systems, and make sure you have an AAA battery to keep the Bluetooth headset going.

| PowerSkin Motorola Atrix HD battery skin offers additional talk time Posted: 03 Aug 2012 05:30 AM PDT
Most of us would wake up with our smartphones attached to a power outlet fully charged, and by the time we hit the sack, our phones would most probably have sent out a warning signal at least once or twice, urging us to get to the nearest power outlet as soon as possible. Well, there are remedies to combat the lack of power, and instead of taking the more bulky route of carrying a power charger with you all the time, how about offering protection for your precious smartphone which also comes with its very own built-in battery to boot? This is where we are headed with the PowerSkin Motorola Atrix HD battery skin. It is said that the PowerSkin Motorola Atrix HD battery skin is capable of offering the latest Motorola flagship another 220 minutes worth of talk time, now that is value for money when you think about it. After all, the number of minutes translates to more than 3 hours worth of chat time, which can be crucial for those of you who run a business and have plenty of calls to make throughout the entire day. Don’t you just hate it when you need to wrap up that particular conversation, only to have your phone’s battery die on you? With the PowerSkin Motorola Atrix HD battery skin, this particularly sticky situation can be avoided. The Motorola Atrix HD skin for AT&T basically comes with 1500 mAh of power, including angular corners for improved comfort, and a soft silicone exterior coated with weather-resistant polyurethane and a durable, matte finish that protects against dust, scratches, moisture and grime. It will retail for $69.99 a pop if you are interested. [ PowerSkin Motorola Atrix HD battery skin offers additional talk time copyright by Coolest Gadgets ]

| Matrix One Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich tablet is going cheap Posted: 03 Aug 2012 05:00 AM PDT
Fret not, as it is a good thing that there are companies out there do take the trouble of coming up with an even more affordable tablet, so much so that when you hand over a Benjamin, you will even receive some change in the process, now is that value for money or what? The Matrix One tablet will run on the Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich operating system, where it will feature integrated Wi-Fi connectivity, 1080p HDMI output for you to enjoy your high definition videos on a HDTV in the living room, a microSD memory card slot for expansion purposes, an USB port as well as an USB mini port. The 7″ of viewing area that provides 800 x 480 resolution should be enough for most folks, where it is the ideal size to carry around in one hand without having your hand develop nasty cramps along the way. At the front lies a 2-megapixel camera which would work great for self portrait shots, not to mention those who want to carry out a video call. You will be able to choose from two different capacities – 4GB or 16GB of internal memory, where of course, the larger the memory capacity, the more you will have to fork out. Definitely one of the more affordable Android-powered tablets out there in the market, you might want to consider the Matrix One to be an introductory tablet to your little one who has long bugged you for an iPad this coming Christmas.

If you had watched The Dark Knight Rises, I would assume at one point or another, you might have expected to hear Bane actually breathing out aloud ala Darth Vader with that face mask of his on. Well, here is a little bit of Star Wars goodness for you with the 
The mind’s power should not be underestimated in any way, and while we are still some ways off from the standard issue mind controlled computer (mouse and keyboard manufacturers would certainly loathe such an idea, as they would no longer have the relevant wares to sell to computer users), here is something that might just pique your interest. I am talking about the 
When it comes to modern day smartphones, they are able to achieve plenty of tasks on a single device, but the major drawback would be its battery life. Rather, the lack of it. In fact, it is pretty hard for a seasoned road warrior who has push email turned on all the time, being connected to a 3G or 4G LTE network the entire day long, checking plenty of emails while sending out replies in the form of text messages and emails, not to mention handling a plethora of phone calls as well, to have your smartphone last the entire day. 
You know something? There seems to be a plethora of Android-powered tablets these days, that it can get rather difficult to know just which model you want to purchase as a starter. Not only that, the number of tablets that come in different form factors also sport various sizes, and having said that, they offer different price points as well. For those who feel that a 10″ tablet is a wee bit too large for your liking, there is always the 7″ Google Nexus 7 which was recently announced and manufactured by Asus, but the $199 price point might still be out of reach for you.
