Mar 05, 2013 08:00 am | Alison Get Help When You Need It Cellular technology obviously provides many many advantages to our lives. We stay connected wherever we go enabling us to check on our personal and business affairs. Heck we can even keep tabs on our homes when we are away. And though some don't like the ability to always be found there are definitely circumstances when being found can literally be a lifesaver. Many newer model cars sold in the US come equipped with OnStar or another automatic response system which has proven incredibly helpful for anything from locking keys in the car to finding stolen cars to communicating with emergency services, all thanks to cellular technology. If you have an older model car or did not ante up for the add-on service when you bought your car, check into splitsecnd, $199.95 plus $14.95 a month. This little device can be a lifesaver. Plug into any car with a cigarette lighter or 12V DC socket. splitsecnd contains an accelerometer and GPS. When it senses sudden changes in speed and force it determines your location and calls the splitsecnd emergency response center where an operator will confirm what help the driver may need. In addition, they will alert whoever you list as your emergency contact. splitsecnd works wherever you have cellular coverage – about 96% of the US – and must be plugged in to work. If you currently charge any devices in that socket not to worry. Use the built-in USB port to continue. And if you choose, download their app and track the location other splitsecnd users. For those in your life that you truly want to keep safe make the investment. You won't regret it.

Don't let your iPhone be the only 8-bit clothed technology. 8-Bit Sleeves are also available for iPad Mini, iPad, MacBook Air (11", 13") and MacBook Pro 13" and run $29.95-$37.95. Your device will take on the look of an 8-bit envelope in these synthetic leather carriers but stay safe with a soft fiber inside.

The thing is, sometimes when different aspects of those ingredients are missing, there are still other flash points in a relationship that could spark off an argument, or worse, the silent treatment being meted out for days at a time. One of those might actually be the age old toilet seat issue (or at least, ever since the toilet seat came into existence), where girls prefer the guys to put down the toilet seat once they're done with their business, while us guys wished that the toilet seat isn't even down in the first place. Well, the $199.95 Hands-Free Toilet Seat says it all, it will be able to raise and lower the seat automatically, and you can be sure that it not only saves contamination, but perhaps, even marriages as well! All you need to do is step in front of the sensor zone and the seat lid will rise automatically as though you were a Jedi Knight who wielded the power of the Force, and half a minute after you step away, both seat and lid will automatically return to the down position. It takes just minutes to install, and there is no need for any special tools to boot. Each purchase is accompanied by a lithium-ion battery and AC power adapter/charger.

Well, win or lose, fans of either team are set to celebrate or drown their sorrows in booze, which is where the $40,000 Pedal Pub would automatically make you someone's best friend, regardless of whether they are on the winning or losing team. Be careful though, as the Pedal Pub is able to accommodate only up to 17 folks, as they will pedal, serve, drive, and imbibe as it travels. Originally invented in the Netherlands as an ingenious method of promoting a local tavern, the Pedal Pub will sport a high-grade steel chassis that delivers a reliable, safe, and open deck which makes it ideal for socializing. There are five pedal seats per side, with 10 pedalers helping to propel the vehicle up to 5 mph on flat surfaces, with grades up to 6%. All that exercise will definitely make you thirsty, but good thing the Pedal Pub should be well stocked to quench everyone's thirst.
