A Virtual Tour of an Earthly Space Place

Posted: 04 Aug 2012 03:00 PM PDT

Happy 50th birthday to the “gadgetiest” place of all, NASA's Kennedy Space Center! This historic home to the creation and launch of many of the most important space missions wants you to help celebrate. KSC in conjunction with Google want to invite you on a virtual tour of the Space Center.  There is plenty to see from a space shuttle up close to a launch pad to the visitor center, all from the convenience of your computer. It is the largest Google Street View project to date, with over 6,000 panoramic photographs to take you to the scene of some of the greatest sites in space history.

To get your free tour simply log on to Google Maps. Search for Kennedy Space Center. Zoom in on the area. Drag the orange pegman icon onto an area that becomes highlighted in blue. Then you cruise about to view the panoramic images. And keep an eye on the pegman as he turns into an astronaut.

So whether you have been and want to bring back memories or are seeing it for the first time, hop online and get a unique glimpse of the Kennedy Space Center.

Das S Mechanical Keyboard upgraded, carries new controls now

Posted: 04 Aug 2012 05:30 AM PDT

What was originally voted to be Amazon's Top Rated Computer Keyboard, the Das S Mechanical Keyboard is back with a vengeance. In fact, it is now available with added functionalities thrown into the mix, introducing a refresh for Das’ mechanical keyboard line that is sure to get those who purchased the Das S Mechanical Keyboard previously grinding their teeth out of frustration. I guess that there is always a price to pay for early adopters, and those who want to stay at the forefront of technology will need to live with the possibility of a refreshed or upgraded model being introduced not too long after you made your purchase.

The famous Das S Mechanical Keyboard will not come with previously unavailable features, such as Volume control, Track Control and Instant Sleep functions. This added media functionality for the hugely popular Model S Professional mechanical keyboard should be able to see it consolidate its ranking on Amazon even further, since the original ease of use and comfort in typing are retained.

Daniel Guermeur, creator of the Das Keyboard and CEO of Metadot Corporation, said, "As modern professionals become more involved with different media-related activities during the work day—such as online meetings, video conferences, webinars, video tutorials, product demos, podcasts, communicating via Skype, or participating in Google+ Hangouts—it's important that they have convenient access to media controls on the computer keyboard that's directly in front of them. Our fans have increasingly asked for a version of our mechanical keyboard that includes media features along with two Windows keys to maintain an optimal typing and multi-media experience. We're pleased to deliver our refreshed Model S to satisfy their keyboard demands."

The new features will make its way to both the Model S Professional and Professional Silent versions, where they will comprise of standard media functions such as mute, volume, play/pause, stop, and previous or next track. Not only that, the Das Keyboard's Model S Professional will now also come with an energy-saving instant sleep function, allowing users to be able to quickly and easily send their computers to sleep mode at any point in time when they want to take a break from typing – perfect for tree huggers as well as anyone with a heart for the environment.

You will be able to place an online order for Das Keyboard's refreshed Model S, where it will come in two tactile flavors—click pressure point (Model S Professional) and soft pressure point (Model S Professional Silent), retailing for $129 and $135, respectively.

Ivee Voice Activated Alarm Clock

Posted: 04 Aug 2012 05:00 AM PDT

I would presume that most of us rely on our smartphones as our alarm clocks, since we get to choose the kind of ringtone to wake up to. However, there are others who would like a dedicated alarm clock to get the job done, as it has always been that way, so it is nice to have it continue. Well, since we have moved on to voice commands in our smartphone operating systems like Samsung’s S Voice and Apple’s Siri, how about introducing voice commands to the humble alarm clock? This is what happened with the $59.99 Ivee Voice Activated Alarm Clock.

No longer do you need to smash your alarm clock to send it to snooze every morning when it rings, and you can always get out of bed on the right side by yelling directly at it. Unlike your pooch, this is one alarm clock that is obedient and actually listens to what you say! The Ivee Voice Activated Alarm Clock will also come equipped with a built-in FM radio and a timer, and it sports a rather generous 5″ LED display, where it will be accompanied by half a dozen natural, soothing sleep sounds, not to mention being able to respond to over 30 voice commands. Each snooze moment lasts for up to 9 minutes.
