The Motorola Talkabout MT350 – Up to 35 Miles of “Non-Cell” Communication

Posted: 24 Sep 2012 08:19 AM PDT

I’m not sure about global warming, but I DO know that something really strange is going on with our weather. Whatever I have come to expect as far as the weather is concerned, is exactly what doesn’t happen. To make matters worse, every time the weather turns bad, like last years flood, the October blizzard, the August hurricane or last weeks tornado, we loose power and cell service. I dont like being without power, and not being able to get in touch with my family, I like that even less.

Check out the new Talkabout Series two way radios, rugged and weatherproof the Talkabout radio is perfect in all kinds of weather extremes, so forget snow, dust and rain, Talkabout has got you covered. Its emergency alert feature, built-in LED flashlight and the NOAA weather alert channels provide a total emergency preparedness communication solution for you and your entire family.

The new Talkabout MT350R radios feature more than one charging option for extra safety and convenience.  Not only does the 350R use a mini-USB wall adapter, which actually consumes less power during idle conditions, you can also charge it using a mini-USB car charger (sold separately) or if you have no available power, you can still use standard alkaline batteries.

The Talkabout MT 350R radios sell for around $89.99 per pair, which includes two radios, two belt clips, one wall charging adapter with y-cable, two NiMH rechargeable battery packs, and an emergency preparedness checklist sheet. Also available is the $99.99 MT352R which comes with higher capacity batteries and is available in silver. Check out www.motorola.com for more info.

Actifry – All the Pleasure and None of the Guilt

Posted: 24 Sep 2012 07:16 AM PDT

I know I am not alone in my love of fried foods. I’m also well aware that not only are they not good for ME, they really aren’t good for anybody. So I try to have them in moderation, but I always find myself craving some fries. I’ve tried baking them… just not the same. So I just deprive myself for as long as I can, and then I end up doing the wrong thing, and I go and eat an enormous plate of cheese fries. Come on, isnt there a better way?

I guess you knew that there was. Check out Actifry, made by Tefal and providing you with delicious fried food taste, by using only 1 measly tablespoon of oil you can “fry” up a whole 2 pounds of french fries, saving you and your family from the oil used in your traditional deep fat fryer. The Actifry let’s you dish up the fries with only a 3% fat content for a whole entire serving. Bring on the Ketchup!

How does it work you ask? With a unique paddle and stirring system you simply drizzle a tiny amount of oil on your fresh cut potatoes and using a special pulsed heat, your food is cooked to perfection. With a 2.2 pound capacity, the Actifry doesn’t stop there, cook up some mushrooms and onions, get your nuggets extra crispy, or how about some chicken wings, stir-fry, or even risotto?

The Actifry runs about 220 bucks and comes with a ceramic coated pan and a transparent steam free lid, which are both dishwasher safe. The Actifry has a unique filter which dramatically cuts down unwanted cooking odors, and the unit helps you keep an eye on your food with a countdown timer and buzzer. So start peeling the sweet potatoes and check one out at amazon.com

Razer Arcade Stick now in final beta phase

Posted: 24 Sep 2012 06:30 AM PDT

Not everyone would associate the number 13 with good luck, but it must be noted that the Razer Arcade Stick has finally made its final beta phase – which incidentally, is also its 13th. I guess there is no room for superstition in the cut-throat world of gaming hardware, and if something needs to be done, even if the programming has to be completed while one is sitting underneath a ladder, then so be it. Without much further ado, let us hear more about what the Razer Arcade Stick is capable of doing. It is said that there are two centuries (yes, that would equal to 200 of them) of gamers and modders alike from the Fighting Game Community who are there to help validate v13 Prototype of Razer's Arcade Stick, and bear in mind that this is just meant for the Xbox 360 console only.

Originally announced at the Tokyo Game Show last year, the beta program is now in its second year, spawning 13 iterations of the arcade stick in the process. The latest prototype unit alongside feedback from its testers will hopefully assist in the development of the ultimate arcade stick.

Some of the beta testers include decorated pro-gamers such as Keita "Fuudo" Ai and Hiromiki "Itazan" Kumada – both Super Battle Opera, EVO and World Cyber Games veterans. Not only that, prominent modders from luminaries such as Mike "PurpleArms" Cheng and Matthew "Gummowned" Gummo also signed up with the beta so that their two cents' will help to improve the arcade stick's moddability.

The Razer Arcade Stick intends to be a tournament-grade fighting machine that was specially constructed to enhance gaming performance. It relies on premium quality Sanwa hardware, sporting 10 highly-responsive buttons and a precision eight-way joystick to boot, enabling one to achieve instant and near-flawless strikes without losing any responsiveness or reliability.

Something that was built for modders and tested by gamers sure sounds right, and it might very well be the ultimate gaming peripheral to own in the near and immediate future. It remains to be seen just how much this puppy will cost when it is finally ready to hit the mass market. How much would you be willing to pay for one of these?

LG Tone+ Bluetooth stereo headset for clearer conversations

Posted: 24 Sep 2012 06:00 AM PDT

When it comes to Bluetooth headsets, are all of them the same? LG begs to differ, what with their LG Tone+ Bluetooth stereo headset (HBS-730) hoping to change the way things work in the industry. After all, you can more or less say that the LG Tone+ Bluetooth stereo headset does have its fair share of pedigree to call upon, considering how it is the successor to the original, the LG Tone, otherwise known as the HBS-700. One of the main key features in the LG Tone+ would be its support for VoLTE (Voice over LTE) calls, allowing one to carry out conversations in High Definition (HD) sound between VoLTE-capable devices.

Paul Bae, Vice President of Marketing Center of LG Electronics Mobile Communications Company, said, "LG was the world's first company to demonstrate VoLTE technology and announce a VoLTE smartphone. And today, we are still at the forefront of efforts to advance the commercialization of VoLTE as a follow up to the global expansion of LTE. In order to provide our customers with a superior user experience over 4G networks, LG will continue to raise the bar on all its mobile products, including accessories that support LTE and VoLTE."

The LG Tone+ is said to deliver enhanced audio quality with a number of improvements compared to its predecessor. The extended bass register of the LG Tone+ will help increase the available sound range, while delivering a perceptibly improved audio experience which ought to keep audiophiles happy. Bear in mind that this is LG's claim, and we will just have to test it out for ourselves in order to know just whether it can live up to its reputation.

The inclusion of a Bluetooth Multi-connection function allows the LG Tone+ to hook up to two smartphones or to smartphone and other multimedia device, where either way, it is done immediately. The Audible Pairing Assistance feature lets you know of the connection status when another device is connected, and Vibrating Call Alert helps the user be aware of incoming calls.

The talk and standby times of the LG Tone+ is said to have been extended to 15 and 500 hours, respectively, where it will arrive in South Korea, the United States and China by the end of September in two color combinations. Pricing details have yet to be determined though.

Doctor Who TARDIS Table Lamp

Posted: 24 Sep 2012 05:30 AM PDT

I guess when it comes to some franchises, you can just milk it a whole lot more than the rest, without having the franchise go stale at the same time. The Doctor Who series is one of them, although personally, my favorite would be the entire Star Wars universe that looks set to provide George Lucas' descendants a comfortable life for the next three generations or perhaps, even more. Well, we have more stuff from Doctor Who this time around, with the $49.99 Doctor Who TARDIS Table Lamp making headlines for today.

You can find your way around the home with this gorgeous blue box, and to add to the realism factor for this officially licensed product, this table lamp will even make a TARDIS noise whenever you open her. Definitely a must-have for every would-be companion, don't you think so? This is a lamp that comes with a double-sided lampshade, sporting the 11th Doctor and Amy Pond on one side, while the TARDIS is on the . Should there be no TARDIS noise effects, that would mean it is time to replenish the exhausted trio of AAA batteries within.
