Doxie Go + Wi-Fi revealed

Posted: 29 Jan 2012 08:59 AM PST

We have seen a Doxie in action a couple of years ago, but as with most good things in life, an update to the current model is something that makes perfect sense if it were to remain relevant in the market. Having said that, there is a new Doxie model making its rounds – one which is capable of scanning just about anywhere you are without the need for a computer, following by sending that particular scanned image or text to devices as well as the cloud – sans pesky cables.

Yes sir, the Doxie Go + Wi-Fi is now available to the masses, delivering the wonders of wireless scanning that you can bring with you just about anywhere you go. Thanks to a specially integrated battery as well as memory chip, the new Doxie is capable of scanning documents and images regardless of your location, followed by pushing that scan directly from the scanner to a Mac, PC, iPhone, iPad, or Evernote wirelessly.

According to Travis J. Hicks, chief operating officer of Doxie, “Doxie continues to deliver tiny scanners that make it easy and convenient to go paperless. Doxie means simple scanning you can take anywhere – with a beautiful industrial design and great software, Doxie just works. And now with Wi-Fi, your scans push wirelessly to all of your devices, or even direct to Evernote and the cloud.”

Bills, receipts, reports, recipes, cards, and photos – all of these will not be able to stand a chance against the new Doxie Go + Wi-Fi, and the scanning speed itself ain’t too shabby for a portable device. We are looking at a mere 8 seconds per page, while the built-in Wi-Fi connectivity is able to send scans instantly without missing a beat. With the new Doxie hooking up to your Wi-Fi network, it can send scans on the fly.

Whenever you are on the go, Doxie will create its own ad-hoc network, delivering an instant push to the cloud. All scans can be sent automatically to your computer, mobile device, or directly to Evernote, Flickr, and FTP among others. Heck, you can even synchronize directly with the iPhone and iPad, and we are glad to say that Doxie has put up a free Wi-Fi sync app from the App Store for fast, wireless scanning.

How about its performance in full color? We are looking at up to 600 dpi here, which is no mean feat for something so small. Doxie Go + Wi-Fi will retail for $239 if you are interested, where it will come with the Doxie scanner, companion software with award-winning ABBYY OCR, a bundled Eye-Fi wireless SD card and Doxie 2.1 software. You will need to download the free iOS sync app over from the App Store though.

Ballistic Tough Jacket specially built for the iPad 2

Posted: 29 Jan 2012 08:30 AM PST

You know those tablets that most folks seem to tote around these days, as though they were the next best thing to own since sliced bread was introduced to the market? Well, Apple’s iPad 2 is by far and large the most popular make that you see around, although Samsung has come pretty close with their Android-powered Galaxy Tab series (especially the Galaxy Tab 10.1), while a slew of other big brand names have also rolled out a tablet of their own – mostly running on the Android platform. Since Apple’s iPad 2 commands the biggest market share, as a third party accessories manufacturer, Ballistic certainly thinks it makes perfect sense to roll out a tablet case specially for the iPad 2.

Known as the Ballistic Tough Jacket, this is an unique and rugged carrying solution, and was specially engineered using high quality materials in its manufacturing process. Comprising a trio of layers that deliver a multi-faceted protective case option that cannot be found anywhere else on the market, you can be sure this is as safe as it can get for your beloved iPad 2 in everyday situations. It is not going to stop a bullet, but at least it can take a fair beating.

The first layer uses inner silicone layer to absorb shock, while the second layer is made out of impact resistant hard plastic that offers additional protection for the iPad 2, and the third (and final layer) relies on shock absorbent polymer which adds yet another avenue of protection for the iPad 2. As for the removable cover of the Tough Jacket, it has a two-fold function – you can either protect your screen whenever you are traveling, or use it as a kickstand at two different angles, ensuring a hands-free viewing if you happen to be using the iPad as a portable media player with a generous screen size.

Not only that, the Ballistic Tough Jacket also comes with patent pending Ballistic corners that ensures that all sides of your iPad 2 remains safe, guaranteeing it's protected against almost any type of drop. With a "lay-on-table" feature, the iPad 2 screen is guaranteed to never come in contact with surfaces when laid flat, although there is no harm in being even more careful by throwing on a screen protector. You can choose from black or red shades at $69.99 a pop.

Aesthetician’s Skin Rejuvenator

Posted: 28 Jan 2012 04:30 AM PST

Everyone wants to be young – just take a look at all of the beauty products that claim that they can shave off years from one's face, not to mention the wonders of modern plastic surgery. Well, here is something from Hammacher that might just interest you – the $399.95 Aesthetician’s Skin Rejuvenator. Relying on the same kind of therapy light that is used by aestheticians in order to diminish the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and enlarged pores, this is the stuff that NASA dabbles with, so it had better work! Sporting two dozen LEDs which emit four pulsating wavelengths of infrared light in order to stimulate the production of collagen and cell growth, what you get in theory would be smoother, younger-looking skin.

Anyone willing to fork out the kind of money in order to try out the effects? It is said that the kind of light therapy used facilitates blood circulation, which in turn increases elastin cell production, reducing blemishes and having you end up with softer skin.

The Interactive Periodic Table of Swearing

Posted: 28 Jan 2012 04:00 AM PST

Who would have thought that something as scientific as the Periodic Table would have ended up as one which spews out words and phrases that are definitely not on the "Approved" list by your parents and parents-in-law? Yes, and being naughty also has its price – we are talking about the £50,000 Interactive Periodic Table of Swearing here after all. Whoever said that swearing shows off your lack of vocabulary? Prove the naysayers otherwise with a vocabulary that is backed scientifically (to a certain extent), and in a hilarious manner to boot.

Created in association with renowned artisans at Clay design studio, this is one exclusive piece of world-class art that is a fully interactive periodic table of filth. With 103 brightly colored buttons to choose from, pressing any of them will release a vocal utterance of profanities, insults and highly innovative cusses. The swears will be arranged in groups that have their own symbols and numbers to help you remain organized.
