Globee Night Lights

No, the £19.99 Globee Night Lights does not have any kind of typo in it, that is just the way it is called. Most of us might be satisfied with just a regular night light at the side of our beds so that we do not end up stubbing our toe against the side of the bed in the middle of the night as we make our way to the bathroom, paving the way for a litany of curses to spew from our mouths. Why not be different with the Globee Night Lights? It will be more than a decent night light, except that it espouses the wonders of a big city, and you can choose from various landmarks such as Edinburgh, London, New York, and Paris. I am quite sure that some folks would prefer to strike Edinburgh from the list and throw in Milan instead, but hey, it isn't me who came up with the Globee Night Lights.

Boasting an illustrated map of your selected city, the Globee Night Lights will show off key landmarks in a cute and colorful 'tour-guide' manner. Under its silver plinth, you are then free to wander around town (mentally speaking, of course), thanks to the spinning function that needs to be powered by, yeah, your hands. It does not run on AC power, so you might want to get ready a bunch of rechargeable AAA batteries for this bad boy – it consumes a quartet of them at any one time.

Submarine Camcorder explores the depths on your behalf

So your neighbor thinks that he is the bomb with the latest waterproof camcorder from JVC? Well, you can invite him over to the riverside (make sure it is not one that is polluted to the extreme), and ask him to record whatever's going on underwater. He will most probably look at you incredulously, wondering what kind of one upmanship game you're playing with him, before you put him in his place with the $6,300 Submarine Camcorder.

Yes sir, the Submarine Camcorder certainly lives up to its name, being a remote operated submarine which is capable of sending live video to an iPad from 100′ underwater. It is perfect for those who want to view marine life or inspecting a boat below the waterline, without having to get wet themselves. The sub itself will be tethered to its receiver on deck with a 100′ video cable, and communications are done via the receiver over a Wi-Fi connection, and you will control it with an app that has been installed onto your iPad or notebook remotely. The virtual dashboard will comprise of a joystick, camera controls, and will show off current depth, heading, battery level, and temperature data, all garnered from the sub’s integrated sensors. It boasts of a marine-grade, hydrodynamic ABS housing that delivers a watertight seal in order to protect the included HD video camera that does 1280 x 720 resolution footage.

Wi-Fi connected Smart Dimmer

Everyone is talking about going green these days, from the small household all the way to mega large corporations. After all, being green is in, and our planet cannot really take on too much more pollution before it starts to collapse on itself, and we all know just how mother earth is capable of striking back with more than just a vengeance. Well, Demo 2012 People’s Choice winner Ube (pronounced as “yoo-bee”) has just launched something that will bring a smile to the face of environmentalists, being an Indiegogo campaign that hopes to raise support for its Wi-Fi connected Smart Dimmer.

The Smart Dimmer itself was specially designed to control household light circuits as it will function to replace a homeowner’s current light switch or dumb dimmer, hence paving the way or one to experience full control of the lights from the switch or directly from a smartphone app. The dimmer will hook up to the homeowner’s home Wi-Fi router, where it will then be controllable from a smartphone as it remains connected to the local home network or from any internet connection around the world. This means you can still freak your neighbors out when you are halfway around the globe, no?

Ube intends to introduce technology that was specially designed to control a new genre of electronic appcessories, all directly from a free smartphone app. The technology will obviate the need for expensive custom control systems, where it relies on IP communication protocols instead to control of a range of connected home electronics. Depending on your level of comfort, the Smart Dimmers will be priced anywhere from $49 to $69 on Indiegogo, and will feature a host of features that are lacking on other dimmers targeted for home use, such as the ability to communicate with each other so that lights can be controlled across a room or an entire house. You can even set lighting “scenes” such as “party”, “dinner”, “all-on” or “all-off”, and individual dimmers come with sub-metering to report energy usage for each light switch, letting you have greater control when monitoring your lighting bills.

Delivery is tipped for a June 2013 release, so it is time to prepare the missus that you want one of these bad boys!

Wikipad gaming tablet hits the market

Ah, to be a child again. They say that all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy, so what better way to ensure that Jack does not end up being dull than by indulging in a little bit of games? This is what the Wikipad tablet does, running on the Android 4.1 Jelly Bean operating system, and not not slouching when it comes to the kind of hardware required in order to get the latest games up and running. In fact, Wikipad is touted to be the first 7" tablet of its kind that will deliver what it claims to be an unrivaled gaming experience of a console, although you do get to enjoy the portability of a handheld device with the functionality of a premium tablet, which is all made possible courtesy of its unique attachable game controller. The asking price for the Wikipad? A mere $249, which clearly makes it an extremely attractive proposition.

Fraser Townley, President of Sales, Wikipad, Inc., said, "We wanted to get Wikipad into our community's hands and what we found was that the smaller 7" form factor just seemed right. The smaller frame delivers an aggressive price while keeping the same amazing specs."

Well, just what kind of hardware does the 7" Wikipad pack underneath the hood? Apart from its award winning attachable dual-analog controller on the outside, you will find a premium 7″ IPS touchscreen display that will be accompanied by 16GB of internal memory alongside a microSD memory card slot just in case all of that space is not enough for you to tote around your favorite movies and songs. Crammed within its ultra-light and thin chassis would also be the venerable NVIDIA Tegra 3 quad-core mobile processor that has been specially optimized for cloud gaming, and with an aspect ratio of 16:10, you can be sure that the Wikipad tablet will deliver true widescreen HD display.

Those who decide to pick up the Wikipad will not come up short where games and apps are concerned, as you will be able to have access to entertainment and videogame content from differnt partners and services such as PlayStation Mobile, Big Fish Games, TegraZone – NVIDIA’s free app, Google Play, and OnLive among many others. When the gamepad controller remains detached, the Wikipad would make for an above average tablet, wherever you are. Any takers?
