Posted: 21 Aug 2012 11:31 AM PDT

What would summer be without bugs? More enjoyable, that is for sure. Grilling out in the summer is a must. There you are, entertaining friends, juicy steaks hot off the grill, serving up side dishes and suddenly, bam! Every bug in the neighborhood somehow gets an invitation to the party. Or how about airing out the house and realizing that you have a bug slumber party going on. Spiders in the corners, moths on the lights. You'd think they are moving in for good!

Earn that Bottle of Wine!

Posted: 21 Aug 2012 09:26 AM PDT

Wine accessories never cease to amaze me. There always seems to be another one popping up, making perfect gifts or hosting items. There are devices to aerate and to help pour. There are glasses to make it taste better or with easier grip. There are an abundance of items to cork or decorate your bottle too. Tougher to find is an item that challenges a wine drinkers mind. If you need a gift for a wine lover or really want to get some attention during your next party may we recommend the Vino Vault™, a wine puzzle brain teaser. Make people earn their glass of wine! The Vino Vault turns your bottle into a cryptex – yes, a puzzle. Five lettered rings are the key to unlocking the bottle. Program in your own code and then let guests guess away. The vault won't open until the right code is entered.

The Vino Vault holds most burgundy (Merlot, Cab, Shiraz) type bottles. If unsure on the size of the bottle simply print out a template on vinovault.com to take with you to the wine store. Their website also gives creative suggestions on how to deliver clues to guests and even contains a code bank to help stimulate your mind.  The great part is The Vino Vault is available for $32.44 on Amazon.

So next time you have friends over for a  night of wine or as you assemble your holiday shopping list keep the Vino Vault in mind…to test theirs!

Charge Your iPad +15 Friends’

Posted: 21 Aug 2012 09:09 AM PDT

Does your household jockey for the right to charge an iPad next? Getting them all charged at the same time becomes a matter of who takes priority. And you know there are companies out there who have multiple iPads in circulation at the same time. Think of busy environments like construction sites or tradeshow floors. Technology is constantly in use. Communication is key, transactions are happening. And batteries die!

Parat Solutions has the answer. Their PARASYNC line of products offers portable charging solutions for iPads. Their InSync Transport case offers a durable solution for up to 16 iPads and a 13" laptop. Compartments can even accommodate bulky cases, so you can tell whose is who and don't have to 'disrobe' them. Contained inside the case is a circuit board to route charges (110v to 240v). Connect the case to exterior power and you are charging. The laptop footprint means you can charge the computer or even sync to the iPads. The case is designed to be shippable and comes with built-in wheels and an extendable handle for mobility. A dense foam case inside protects each device space too.

Obviously, being designed for more corporate or industrial usage, the price is not cheap. But for $645 (available on camcor.com) the investment is minimal versus the cost of 16 iPads and a laptop.

Don’t Let the Dog Days Affect Your Dog

Posted: 21 Aug 2012 08:25 AM PDT

We all use smartphones to help manage our lives and the lives of our families. But how about our four legged friends? They should get in on the action too. Well, the folks at Rethink Canada, an agency in Toronto, believe they should anyway.  Rethink came up with a prototype dog collar (“Dog Caller”) that texts your cell phone when the temperature gets too hot for Fido to handle. It contains similar parts to a cell phone and more: SIM card, LEDs, a coded chip and thermistor. When the dog's environment hits 78.8° F/26° C you get a text. So if you get stuck in a long line at the store, the dog won't have to suffer. Rethink partner and creative director Aaron Starkman came up with the idea after experiencing a "heated" situation with his own dog. They put the Dog Caller idea into development and hope to get them in production next year. In the meantime they partnered with the Toronto Humane Society to reduce heat-related dog deaths through a campaign highlighting dog friendly stores where they can enjoy air conditioning.

We set plenty of alarms for ourselves and our activities with our phones. We schedule this, plan that. We even have SIM cards in our home alarm systems to send alerts. Do the same for that furry member of the family and save their life – literally!

Samsung Galaxy S DUOS unveiled

Posted: 21 Aug 2012 06:30 AM PDT

Here is yet another member of the Samsung Galaxy family that you might want to consider if you are in the market for a new smartphone and yet do not want to break your budget consideration – I am referring to the Samsung Galaxy S DUOS, and the name does drop a rather subtle hint of it carrying dual SIM card slots, meaning those who are extremely busy and need to attend to different phone numbers can now do so using a solitary handset, helping you relieve your pocket of some space to carry other more important things around.

Well, the Samsung Galaxy S DUOS is touted to be available from next month onwards (that would be September, mind you), with the roll out beginning from the continent of Old Europe first, before it spreads across the other territories.

What kind of hardware specifications do you think you are able to find underneath the hood of the Samsung Galaxy S DUOS? For starters, we do know that it will run on the Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich operating system, although there is still no word as to whether the Android 4.1 Jelly Bean update is on its way, but chances are pretty high that it would.

The unique 'Dual SIM Always on' feature on the Samsung Galaxy S DUOS will allow you to receive calls on one SIM number, simultaneously letting you take a call from the other, so that you can handle both personal and work commitments without the need to miss a call, ever. Apart from that, you also have the flexibility and option of choosing different billing plans for either SIM, switching between them right there and then at your convenience without the need to reboot your smartphone.

A 4″ display should be enough to keep your eyes happy, while underneath the hood lies a 1GHz processor and a 1500mAh battery that delivers speedy multi-tasking regardless of the applications you run. Just in case the 4GB of internal memory is not enough, there is always a microSD memory card slot which lets you further augment the internal storage space. Are you interested in the Samsung Galaxy S DUOS?

LG Optimus Vu to make global arrival

Posted: 21 Aug 2012 06:00 AM PDT

When it comes to modern day smartphones, there is this particular trend which works like an elastic. Remember more than a decade ago, you had the state of the art handsets from Nokia that seemed to get smaller and smaller? The Nokia 8250, Nokia 8810 and Nokia 8850 were all miniature wonders, sporting a pocket friendly form factor that packed quite a punch in terms of performance as well. After that, with the advent of color displays and a decade later, touchscreen displays, we get phones with a form factor that starts to increase, getting larger and larger again.

It is like a bad dream that Alice could not wake up from, where she ate the cake and drank a potion to shrink and grow as she needed to, depending on the situation which she is in at the moment. Well, I guess you can say the same applies to the world of modern day smartphones, with the overall screen size getting larger on average, crossing the lines between the tablet market as well, leading some to call such devices a “phablet”. The LG Optimus Vu which managed to debut successfully in South Korea and Japan has now been announced to debut globally in select markets in Europe, Asia, Middle East/Africa and Latin America from September onwards.

Just what kind of hardware can we look forward to with the LG Optimus Vu? Well, this is touted to come with the world's first 5-inch 4:3 aspect ratio display at a rather impressive 768 x 1024 resolution, delivering a truly unique smart device experience in a phablet form factor. Having sold more than half a million units in South Korea since it debuted earlier this March, the LG Optimus Vu has also experienced a positive Japanese reception.

The global version of the LG Optimus Vu will run on the NVIDIA Tegra 3 mobile processor, sporting a speedy 4-PLUS-1 Quad-Core with the fifth battery-saver core, where it is touted to deliver a superb balance of performance and power requirements. The quartet of cores will see action for high performance tasks including games and multitasking, while when it comes to less taxing tasks such as voice calls, handling email, music and video playback, only the fifth core will be used. Other than that, it comes with a 8-megapixel camera at the back and a 1.3-megapixel front-facing camera, augmented by 32GB of internal memory. Any takers for the LG Optimus Vu?
