When it comes to networking tools and hardware, you know that you will not be able to go wrong with the name D-Link, as this is a trusted brand name which treads the thin line between quality, performance, and of course, price.

After all, users in this day and age are extremely particular about the amount of bandwidth that they have, not to mention the vast amounts of information that they send back and forth between devices – a far cry from the early days of baud 4400 and the likes, no?

Daniel Kelley , vice president of marketing, D-Link Systems, said, “Today’s average home now has more than 15 devices, oftentimes with multiple iPads, iPhones, as well as Android phones and tablets, and consumers are looking for the best in wireless connectivity to help deliver uninterrupted HD video streaming, online gaming and multiple user capabilities.

Archos ChefPad announced

French company Archos has had their fair share of Android-powered devices in the past, and this time around, it is no different with the introduction of the new ChefPad. The name of the tablet itself would have given the game away, as this particular tablet was specially designed to survive in the kitchen – since it would target cooking enthusiasts who do not mind having a digital cooking assistant that also packs enough firepower underneath the hood in order to deliver a decent personal entertainment experience.

Just what kind of hardware do you think we are able to find underneath the hood of the Archos ChefPad? For starters, there is a dual-core 1.6GHz processor that will be accompanied by a quad-core graphics processor, not to mention having the flexibility of capturing self-portraits with the front facing camera and a back facing camera, too, as both of them weigh in at 2-megapixels. Full HD (1080p) video playback is also supported, while you will be able to enjyo direct access to thousands of apps, videos, and music to cook by thanks to the ChefPad's compatibility with Google Play.

The 9.7" Archos ChefPad will run on the Android 4.1 Jelly Bean operating system, and it ought to hit the market sometime this June for $209.99 a pop. What makes the ChefPad special would be the inclusion of the Chef Apps Selection, where aspiring Chefs are able to pick and choose from a selection of the best cooking apps which range from recipes, cooking tips and cooking TV to cooking assistant apps. This will be an exclusive app program that curates the best of all apps from Google Play regardless of the category, making it a whole lot easier for the end user to discover the most suitable content. Other hardware specifications include 1GB RAM, 8GB of internal memory that can be expanded via a microSD memory card slot, Wi-Fi connectivity and a mini HDMI connector. Any takers for the Archos ChefPad?

Magnetic Thermopot

I think it is pretty safe to say that there is nothing quite like a piping hot meal awaiting you at the end of a long, hard day at the office. Of course, when the weather outside is super cold (and wet, assuming it rains in your area frequently), the hot meal becomes all the more desirable. The thing is, some of us do pack our lunch at home and bring it to work, but by the time lunch time rolls around, our lunch is extremely cold and bland to the taste, requiring us to pop it into a microwave oven for a couple of minutes to heat it up. Enter the $39.99 Magnetic Thermopot, which is said to be a more "grown-up" version of the thermos.

The Magnetic Thermopot has a seal that borders on the magical, especially since it is capable of keeping things hot as well as cold, depending on the food that you place inside, for up to 5 hours to boot. The folks behind the Magnetic Thermopot have decided to endearingly call it a food flask, as it sports a vacuum sealed cork lid which is guaranteed to keep your food hot (or cold), while being accompanied by a stainless steel spoon which is attached to the side for that added bit of convenience. Capable of holding up to 17 fluid ounces, those who tend to eat on the go would find the Magnetic Thermopot a decent addition to their collection of dining apparatus.

Dog Activated Outdoor Fountain

Dogs need an adequate amount of fresh water at their disposal at all times, and the thicker its coat, the more water it needs to drink to rehydrate itself. Of course, some of us do not mind letting Lassie lap up water straight from the tap without any boiling or filtering done, but for other folks who intend to go the extra mile for their four legged friends, perhaps the $69.95 Dog Activated Outdoor Fountain is a good idea to invest in for your home.

The Dog Activated Outdoor Fountain is pretty much self-explanatory, where it will dispense water whenever it detects that there is a dog nearby. Just how does it do so? No, there are no invisible leprechauns hanging around in your garden, ready to press a button each time a pooch ambles along, but instead, it relies on a built-in sonar proximity sensor which is capable of detecting a dog’s presence within 3′ and across a 40° angle, where it will then automatically turn on the water, and is smart enough to turn it off when the pet leaves. Thing is, your dog might be a labrador, and we all know how much labradors love water – so they might just hang around the Dog Activated Outdoor Fountain all day long. This particular unit is a snap to install – all you need to do is attach it to a garden spigot, and you're good to go. There is also an integrated splitter which enables a hose to remain connected to the garden spigot, with its housing is made from weather-resistant hard plastic that will also be able to resist the curious dog’s chewing. A quartet of C batteries are said to deliver up to one year of juice, now how about that?
