Amazon updates their Cloud Drive Desktop app

Well, if you have yet to enjoy the wonders of the cloud, perhaps it is time to do so, and what better way to start than with a name that most folks are more than familiar with, even more so, trust? Amazon has their Cloud Drive app out for some time already, and now, they have introduced yet another update for the Cloud Drive Desktop app that will introduce a spanking new file synchronization feature which would make life easier for the end user to manage files across multiple computers, all thanks to the updated Cloud Drive Desktop app. This new app will play nice with both Windows and Mac platforms, where it will also include File Sync, which will enable users to easily store and access files in the Amazon Cloud right from a folder on their computer regardless of where they are, as long as they remain connected to the Internet.

All files that are stashed in this particular folder will also see a copy stored automatically in Cloud Drive, and it is easily accessible. Whenever you choose to install the app on a second computer, your entire collection of synced files will also be "transported" there as well. Don't you think that this particular idea would make it extremely simple for users to place files in Cloud Drive, sort of an "upload and forget" mechanism?

At least it shows how seriously that Amazon is taking its web services infrastructure. Right now, documents which are stashed in Cloud Drive will be automatically available in the Docs library over on the Kindle Fire. As for photos, those stashed in Cloud Drive will automatically be available in the Photos library on Kindle Fire and Cloud Drive Photos for Android. All photos which have been uploaded from the Cloud Drive Photos app on your phone are also automatically downloaded to the Cloud Drive folder on your computer.

Kindle Fire HD 8.9" 4G LTE to arrive at AT&T this April 5

So, you have been on the lookout for a spanking new tablet of the non-Apple variety for the longest time now, but your budget never really gave you the opportunity to bring home one that has above average specifications without breaking the bank. What are you to do? Enter the Kindle Fire HD 8.9” 4G LTE which is said to arrive at AT&T stores this coming April 5th (just three more days, your patience will pay off, trust me on this), where each purchase will also help you be eligible for another $150 off in credits, now how about that? Not only that, AT&T has plans for the mobile road warrior, where they intend to introduce the possibility of adding the AT&T Mobile Share Plans to a tablet for a mere $10 monthly.

AT&T has proudly laid claim to having the country's "fastest 4G LTE network", and to see that work in tandem with the Kindle Fire HD 8.9" is definitely worth a sight to behold. Amazon's Kindle Fire HD 4G LTE 32GB tablet will cost $399 a pop outright, but if you want a 2-year data plan to go along with it, that would mean an instant savings of $150 off, as mentioned earlier.

Chris Penrose, senior vice president of emerging devices, AT&T, said, "Being the first carrier to connect Amazon's Kindle Fire HD to our 4G LTE network provides the best mobile internet experience. Combining our 4G LTE with Kindle Fire HD's rich features at an incredible price point yields a great value and experience for our customers."

Just to refresh our memories on just what the Kindle Fire HD 8.9" is able to deliver, well, it has been touted to be the highest-resolution, largest-display Kindle Fire to date, where it was specially designed for entertainment purposes, and yet is ideal for web, e-mail, apps, movies, games and magazines. With a 8.9" display at 1920 x 1200 resolution and a whopping 254 ppi pixel density, your eyes will definitely be more than happy with the visual quality it delivers.

Eye of Sauron Desk Lamp

All right, I know that yesterday was April Fool's day, and we sure as heck covered our fair share of crazy gizmos that will never see the light of day (or will they? We shudder at the thought), so while we are in full swing where April 2nd is concerned, here is my last take for April Fool's this year – with the $299.99 Eye of Sauron Desk Lamp, of course.

This is one idea that would definitely score points with fanboys should it be released to the masses, but unfortunately, as of right now, it will remain within the figments of one's imagination, just like the fantasy storyline that the building itself is based on. The Eye of Sauron Desk Lamp is touted to be an exact model of Barad-dûr, the Fortress of Sauron, where it has been expertly recreated from the movie, all the way down to the finest detail. The roving eye will continue to make sure you give your best at work, and this thing, without an eyelid, sure as heck is creepy! No way Incognito mode on your Chrome browser is going to let you off the hook now when it comes to visiting questionable websites while you are at work.

Touring Quadracycle

They say that two's company, three's a crowd. What happens when there are four people around? Well, perhaps there might be a new saying years from now, especially when you take the $5,000 Touring Quadracycle into consideration, where four's family. After all, no one likes to be left behind, especially if you are the little one in the family. Why not let mom and dad bring you along, too? The Touring Quadracycle is different from the other quad bikes that are in the market, as this touring pedal-cycle will enable adults seated in the rear to steer, and it holds up to four riders.

Made in the Netherlands, the quadracycle will feature twin rear seats that also feature pedals that are able to power its rear drive train forward and backward. Capable of hitting a maximum speed of 10mph, as long as the total body weight of the folks sitting in it do not exceed the 550 lb. mark, the Touring Quadracycle will rolls around in style on a quartet of 17″ aluminum wheels that boast of treaded, pneumatic rubber tires, making it more than ideal for pavement, sidewalks, or smooth ground. It has a low center of gravity to deliver reliable and consistent stability through turns, where the left pedaler will be able to control the cycle’s rack-and-pinion steering using the wheel, while bringing it to a complete halt can be done with the handbrake.

Iron Man suit for sale

So you want to be a genius, billionaire, playboy philanthropist, but lack the looks, smarts and money to play the role? Never mind then, you can always dress up in Tony Stark's alter ego, the mechanized Iron Man who seems to be invincible when it comes to taking in all the heavy hittin' from enemies, regardless of which dimension that they come from. In a nutshell, this Iron Man suit might just be the only weapon you will ever need, although it still puzzles me where does Tony Stark go when he wants to relieve himself in the midst of battle. This Iron Man suit will not come cheap either, as it carries a price tag of £250,000, which is a relative bargain when you compare to what it offers. I would dare say that a full fledged Iron Man suit packs far more firepower than a couple of F-35s, and yet to cost a mere drop in the ocean compared to those futuristic jet fighters? It is a steal.

Specially crafted from a mix of steel and carbon, it will also ensure that the iconic red/gold Iron Man colors are featured for easy identification. The Mark XLVII headset utilizes projected holographic technology, while the presence of hand-mounted stabilization jets ensures that you do not simply fall out from the sky. Those will work in tandem with the thigh-mounted flare development system, helping deliver optimum flight control, while there are cameras located on the shoulders as well as wrists for improved flight-safety.

All right, so it sounds so out of this world, that there might just be a sliver of truth to it, no? Unfortunately, our dear readers, this Iron Man suit that you have just read about is as real as Tony Stark himself – both of them do not exist in our reality other than being a figment of our overactive imagination. Imagine how many of such suits would the rich of the world purchase if it were to be true!

3D Play-Doh Printer – Modeling Magic?

We all remember Play-Doh, and the nifty little plastic Play-Doh fun factories that let you extrude spaghetti-like worms or star shaped snakes. I could sit for hours and play, reveling in the smell, the texture. My mom never allowed me to mix the colors though, (because I would ruin the dough) somehow this seriously stifled my creativity well into in adulthood, but thats another story, probably better told in another venue.

However, our friends over at ThinkGeek are stepping up the old fun factory experience and bringing us the 3D Play-Doh printer, forget about manually squeezing out a fake ice cream cone, you and your tablet or Smartphone can now dream up just about anything, and have it appear in full color (sorry mom) right before your eyes. Sounds cool, doesn’t it?

To use the Play-Doh 3D Printer you need only to insert three cans of your favorite color, load up the free app on your tablet of choice, and get your creative juices flowing. Once you are able to make the 3D model within the application, it seems pretty simple to create the solid 3D piece! Some may say a device like this would also stifle creativity, I say get your CAD skills in order and have at it!

Sure the printer is a toy, and your creations wont be nearly as sturdy as the stuff you make on a 3D printer that works with plastics, but hey… doesn’t this sound like a great idea? It really does, doesn’t it? Check out more info on the ThinkGeek website and tell me that you wouldn’t want one. Someday my friends…. someday.

Nokia into the microwave business now

Well, well, what do we have here? It seems that Nokia, the smartphone company from Finland that used to dominate the mobile phone market, is about to take the plunge into the home appliances market with a microwave, of all products. I say, why not? After all, the humble microwave might not be a centerpiece in your newly renovated kitchen, but it sure as heck is one of the most important pieces of the kitchen puzzle. After all, it is the microwave that helps you heat things up in the blink of an eye, making sure that those TV dinners which you bought would taste absolutely delicious in a matter of minutes. This microwave is called the Nokia 5AM-TH1N6 Constellation, which happens to be a touch-screen microwave oven – perhaps it is a sign that expertise from their Windows Phone 8-powered smartphones being handed down?

The Nokia Constellation will set itself apart with a superfast, water-cooled 8-core high-voltage transformer, where it is capable of delivering a combined performance of 5,000 watts to end-users, allowing one to heat up turnkey meal solutions in a matter of seconds. Olavi Huhtikuu, Nokia's director of household innovation, said, "Nokia has a proven track record and extensive IPR in working with microwave radios, so for us this was a logical next step. We can attack our competition in their core business. That's why we developed the highly innovative 5AM-TH1N6 Constellation, which will revolutionize everything from single households to canteen kitchens"

Other innovative features in the new Nokia 5AM-TH1N6 include eye-tracking technology that ensures food will stop rotating whenever you look at it, and it will even be able to adjust the temperature automatically, depending on just how hungry you look. Expect the Constellation to ship from Q2 onwards at a suggested retail price of €399 a pop.

Just in case you were wondering whether this sounds way too good to be true, or that it is just a hoot to hear the Finnish smartphone company venturing into the consumer electronics and home appliance segments of the market, do remember that today is April 1st, and what you have just read is, indeed, too good to be true.

Space Bar adds more space to your desk

Now, I can think of a few ways to interpret a particular item known as the "Space Bar". It could be a long running joke of a bar for the likes of weary travelers who go through the cosmos at light speed, or even beyond that, or it might have something to do with one of the most often used key on the keyboard. Well, this particular £99.95 Space Bar is neither, but what it does is this – it intends to help smarten up the amount of space around your workplace!

We all know that space is a premium these days, especially in cities where apartments come in a rather cramped environment, and everything has to be flat and thin in nature in order to fit in nicely. Well, the Space Bar will help create some space on your work table, thanks to an ultra-sleek look that will assist you in ridding your desk of clutter, while giving you additional space and more USB ports. It boasts of a simple yet elegant design, and will even sport the space for you to slide your keyboard underneath the shelf, with additional items being placed on top of the shelf itself. Made out of brushed aluminium with white plastic accents, your desk would definitely be neater and cooler, not to mention having half a dozen USB ports at your disposal to charge and synchronize data with.
