LG Cloud service goes global

In the 21st century, the cloud is no longer the domain of the skies, but rather, it is an online service that has brought plenty of benefits to the masses, since it enables one to stash some files online (as long as space permits, of course) in one's account, which can be accessed anytime, anywhere – so long as there is a decent Internet connection, of course. Different companies have come up with various cloud services, ranging from Dropbox to Google's suite of productivity apps, and now we have South Korea consumer electronics giant LG having announced the global availability of the LG Cloud service. First launched in the US, South Korea and Russia last year, the LG Cloud (which happens to be a TV-centric service) will be introduced in over 40 other countries that will include Europe, Asia, Central Asia and Latin America regions by the end of May.

Just what does LG Cloud bring to the table? For starters, it will pave the way for users to stream content straight to LG Cinema 3D Smart TVs, in addition to deliver a convenient location to store entertainment content which will automatically synchronize between PCs, smartphones and TVs.

Richard Choi, senior vice president of the Smart Business Center at LG Electronics, said, "LG Cloud eliminates the time-consuming process of having to download or manually transfer content between devices. Today's consumers are no longer loyal to only one type of screen. They move seamlessly from TVs to PCs to smartphones and it's up to us to help them get the content they want whenever and wherever they want it. LG is one of very few companies that can offer integration across so many display products."

With the LG Cloud app, one is able to access videos, photos and music the moment it is uploaded to the user's account. You can get it from Google Play or the LG Smart World store, where this easy-to-install app will play nice with LG CINEMA 3D Smart TVs, PCs and Android smartphones.

Extra Large Number Readout Scale

Not all scales are created equal, and the same applies to this particular scale from the folks over at Hammacher. As you very well know, the older one gets, different parts of the body start to break down, and your vision is not quite on par with that of an eagle's during your youth. Having said that, aren't you happy that there is modern day technology to help counter some of these aging effects? The $59.95 Extra Large Number Readout Scale answers this clarion call, where it will display whatever results garnered in giant numerals for easy reading.

The entire bright LCD screen measures nearly half a foot wide, where it will display readings in massive 2.5″ high numbers which can be viewed without requiring you to squint or stoop down. Your back and neck are further protected as you do not need to bend down to turn on the scale, where a simple tap of a foot on the platform is good enough. The readings will be shown off by the display for five seconds after you step off, and after another 10 seconds, the scale will automatically power down in an effort to conserve batteries. As long as you do not weigh more than 440 lbs, the Extra Large Number Readout Scale ought to serve you well for a lifetime.

Motion Clock Radio

You might have grown up wanting to be a Jedi Master always, but somehow or rather, the amount of midi-chlorians in your body have proved to be insufficient to let you enrol in the Jedi Temple and begin your training as a padawan. Well, if you want to show the world that you still have it in you to be a Jedi Knight one day, then it would be wise to invest in the $49.95 Motion Clock Radio.

Of course, this will run on electric power and a myriad of electronics as well as sensors underneath the hood, so this is good enough only to fool those who live on backwater planets, where they have absolutely no idea on how electronics work. As for the lightsaber, you might not have the knowledge to construct one of your own, but surely you can call up someone from Hasbro to send you one! The Motion Clock Radio no longer requires you to fumble around to look for the snooze button, where all you need to do is wave your hand over it and it will snooze. Need to check the time or temperature? Wave your hand one more time. Pretty cool, no?
