Cyclist's Virtual Safety Lane

Do you love cycling? If you have answered in the affirmative, then surely you would do your very best to make your travel arrangements around the rest of the bicycle-friendly public transport around town, especially when there are great distances to travel between your home and the destination of choice. Sometimes, you might have to travel in the wee hours of the morning, or late into the night, and those are dangerous times for cyclists since visibility is extremely low. Well, perhaps if you had the $39.95 Cyclist’s Virtual Safety Lane, things might brighten up for you?

The Cyclist’s Virtual Safety Lane works this way – it is mounted to your bicycle’s seat post, where it will then project a couple of 5-milliwat red lasers onto the ground, which will generate a virtual bicycle lane. This offers motorists with a visual indicator of a cyclist’s riding width, helping you visually increase the safety margin around yourself during those pre-dawn or dusk rides. Oncoming vehicles, as well as those from behind, can actually see you even with their headlights turned on, from over a mile away. The 6′-long lane will begin mid-cycle at the seat post and extends all the way behind, while another 5 more red LEDs help increase your visibility as a standard blinking taillight. The Cyclist’s Virtual Safety Lane is powered by a couple of AAA batteries.

NERF Triad Elite 3-Dart Mini Blaster

When was the last time you had plenty of fun around the office with your colleagues, or at home in your own backyard with the kids? Surely getting a set of NERF guns to play with would help lighten up the seriousness of a particular situation, and it is great at building bridges in a safe and healthy manner. Well, assuming you are the type who feel it is best to take the enemy "out" before he or she is able to reach you, then the $9.99 NERF Triad Elite 3-Dart Mini Blaster would seem to be the ideal weapon of choice.

After all, the NERF Triad Elite 3-Dart Mini Blaster is capable of firing three shots at a range of 75 feet away. 75 feet! That's really far, and it shoots three darts, not simultaneously, but one at a time, from that great a distance. The smart technology involved here will let the NERF Triad Elite 3-Dart Mini Blaster know just which barrels are loaded, hence directing air to those barrels only without you going through the motions of a misfire. Surely it is never too early to prepare for a summer that is filled with fun, right?

PowerSkin announces BlackBerry Z10 case

Each new smartphone purchase tends to be accompanied by a slew of accessories purchases. After all, it makes perfect sense, you too, want to make sure that the smartphone in your possession remains nice and in pristine condition, free from scratches and being able to withstand knocks and drops, especially those tend to happen when you least expect it to. Now, cases for smartphones are dime a dozen to choose from, and most folks are spoilt for choice, too. PowerSkin is an old hand at offering protective case choices for smartphones of all shapes, sizes and makes, and this time around, they would concentrate on the BlackBerry Z10, with the new PowerSkin BlackBerry Z10 NFC-enabled battery case.

The name itself does give away just as much, where your BlackBerry Z10 will soon not only gain all round protection from the majority of drops, nicks and knocks, it will also be on the receiving end of a big boost of power, all crammed into a single piece, featherweight design. Shaun Ng, Product Manager for XPAL Power, said, "PowerSkin dominates the battery case market in the Android and BlackBerry space. We take pride in offering the widest selection of options in a market traditionally saturated with solutions only targeted toward the Apple user."

The Z10 PowerSkin will feature a one-piece, soft silicone exterior which is not only shock-proof, but dust-proof as well, and it will just add an additional 88 grams to the entire weight of the smartphone. That should not weigh you down by too much, no? There is a built-in 1500 mAh rechargeable battery which will further be able to extend the phone's power by up to another 60%, and you will be able to control the flow of power using a press of the on/off button. The presence of a LED light strip on the back will be able to show off just how much battery charge is left, and the slim 20mm design also boasts of PowerSkin's patent-pending technology that allows NFC transmission to pass through the silicone case, ensuring you will be able to perform quick information sharing in a jiffy. If you are interested, the Z10 PowerSkin will retail for $79.99 a pop.

Logitech G Series enhances your gaming experience

When it comes to computer peripherals, a company with the pedigree of Logitech certainly cannot be overlooked. After all, they have come up with their fair share of computer keyboards, mice, and speakers in the past that would surely have garnered quite a sizeable following until now. Well, the last half year was spent by the folks over at Logitech, as they mulled over just what were the missing ingredients in the world of PC gaming accessories, and in order to deliver what gamers want, they laid down a challenge to themselves, hoping to make a difference where it really counts. All of that thinking and passion has resulted in the spanking new Logitech G lineup, where you can see a sample that is depicted above.

The new Logitech G range of gaming accessories exemplifies the company's passion for science, where it will comprise of half a dozen redesigned mice and keyboard favorites, which will also be accompanied by a couple of new headsets, where each one of them features advanced technology that were specifically designed to improve gamers' performance.

Using Delta Zero sensor technology to deliver high accuracy cursor control, you will also be able to enjoy the touch of advanced surface materials for a more comfortable precision grip, and anti-ghosting keys make sure that during those frenzied moments in a game, you will not lock up the entire keyboard even when pressing multiple keys simultaneously when the pressure is piling. Logitech also knows that sometimes, gamers do get too passionate, and slam their keyboards and mice on the table out of frustration when they miss a particular shot or execute a wrong strategy. Logitech has taken steps to ensure that the peripherals which roll off their production lines for the new G range are extremely robust, which is why each of the new Logitech PC gaming products will be accompanied by a worldwide 3-year warranty, now how about that?

MiiPC is a spanking new Kickstarter project

Another day, another interesting idea arrives on crowdsourcing website Kickstarter, and we have the MiiPC this time around. No, do not be mistaken that this could very well be some sort of computer that was developed by the folks over at Nintendo, after all, with the word "Mii" in it, some folks could be fooled into thinking that way. The MiiPC was launched by Young Song , the founder of eMachines. Young hopes to be a positive yet disruptive force in the traditional PC market by rolling out the first family computer that is based on the Android platform, although he requires the help of Kickstarter and its backers to get the job done.

The MiiPC has been priced from $89 as part of a Kickstarter early bird discount, and just in case you were wondering what the MiiPC is able to do, it enables parents to give their little ones access to the Internet, all the while ensuring that these very kids of theirs will remain under supervision using a companion mobile app. Safe surfing of the Internet, so to speak, which would definitely result in peace of mind for parents who fret more than the others. You cannot attach a price tag to peace of mind, can you? At least, even if your child learned something undesirable from the Internet when they are not under your watch, you know you have done your best.

The MiiPC will arrive with a HDMI connection, allowing it to be connected to computer monitors as well as the majority of modern TVs out there in the market. Apart from that, a couple of USB ports would optimize the entire experience, delivering a true keyboard and mouse experience. With access to the MiiPC companion mobile app round the clock, you will be able to enjoy complete peace of mind as you monitor your kids' real-time activities regardless of where you are, as long as you remain connected to the Internet, of course. MiiPC will run on Android 4.2 Jelly Bean as the operating system of choice.

New kind of invisibility cloak created

Did you ever wish that you could get up and about without being seen? You know, just to be like the invisible man, although it would be cooler if one had the choice of turning invisible and visible at will, and this includes the clothes that you come into direct contact with. Otherwise, you would have to walk to the wardrobe and wear something before turning visible again, unless you do not mind appearing to the rest of the world in your birthday suit. Alternatively, the fantasy world had always offered the idea of an 'invisibility cloak', where throwing this over you would render you invisible to anyone who looks your way. I can think of many naughty applications for such an item like this, but I guess the military would find a far more practical use for such an idea. Well, researchers over at the University of Texas in Austin have managed to come up with a spanking new, ultra-thin invisibility cloak that measures all of just 0.15mm – now is that thin or what?

Most of the invisibility cloaks that have been created until now come in large, cumbersome, desk-mounted machinations, and these will definitely stretch the definition of the word 'cloak', and they tend to lean more towards proof of concepts for the kind of invisibility material being tested, instead of being an actual invisibility cloaks. This particular invisibility cloak, however, measures a mere 166 micrometers thin, clearly making this a 'cloak' in every sense of the word.

Just how is this invisibility cloak achieved? Well, it uses something that is called a "metascreen," which is made out of a 66µm-thick sheet of copper which has been attached to a 100µm-thick sheet of flexible polycarbonate. This particular cloak will then be attached to the object, which is an 18cm cylinder here, allowing the cloak to conform to the object's shape perfectly. It is noted that the copper has been patterned in such a way for the scattered light from the cloak and the cloaked object to cancel each other out, hence resulting in its invisibility. How would you make use of a cloak like this?
