The Only Read And Write iPad Flash Drive

So, you have started to realize that you use your iPad a whole lot more than the notebook that the office loaned out to you for your productivity needs on the go, and with that, you might want to take note that sometimes, carrying around large sized files on a USB flash drive and transferring them to your notebook might be too much of a hassle, especially when your notebook does not come with a SSD and takes like forever to boot up. How about transferring those files to your iPad instead? That is made possible with the $169.95 The Only Read And Write iPad Flash Drive, where this is touted to be one of its kind where flash drives are concerned.

It will plug into a Mac or PC’s USB port, and is capable of carrying up to 16GB worth of files, be they documents, photos, videos, or music, before being hooked up to an iPad or iPhone. This would pave the way for a direct transfer of files to your iOS-powered tablet or smartphone, and it even comes with a free app that allows you to make a back up of your contacts or save email documents that are no larger than 10MB in size directly from the app itself. The Only Read And Write iPad Flash Drive can accommodate more than 35 file formats including Microsoft Word and Excel documents, PDFs, JPGs, MP4, and MP3.

Tony Stark Light-Up LED Iron Man 3 Shirt

Between Tony Stark and Bruce Wayne, which playboy millionaire would you prefer to be? Of course, you don't see Batman duking it out with demigods and the like, but if Batman could still beat Superman in a punch out, what makes you think that the world's greatest detective is not able to defeat whatever legions of hell or extra terrestrials that intend to invade earth? Thing is, Iron Man is so much cooler as he zips around the air and has so much more destructive power than Batman's cape and cowl get up. The coolest thing about Iron Man's suit would be the arc reactor that powers the entire shebang, and if you ever wanted to play the role of Tony Stark without his suit on, then this $29.99 Tony Stark Light-Up LED Iron Man 3 Shirt would be the ideal piece of clothing for you.

Specially modeled after the arc reactor in Iron Man 3, it might not be able to prevent shrapnel from reaching your heart, but it might help melt the heart of a geek loving girl whom you have had a crush on all the while. The thing is, you might want to remember to remove the electronics and trio of AAA batteries from the shirt before you send it for washing, otherwise it is going to short circuit, unlike the real deal that Tony Stark has. Hey, what do you expect, and just how far do you think 30 bucks is going to stretch these days?

SPRiZZi Drink Machine is now a Kickstarter project

Before you wonder whether SPRiZZi is actually the name of a new fizzy carbonated drink, let us cut to the chase for you – it surely has something to do with carbonated drinks that the world have come to know and love. In fact, the SPRiZZi is touted to be the first full-service, in-home beverage dispenser of its kind that is capable of delivering over 60 ice-cold carbonated and non-carbonated drinks thanks to its practical design and easy-to-use, one-touch dispensing procedure. So much so that there has been much ado about it, that SPRiZZi has finally made its way as a Kickstarter project, so if you believe in it so much, put your money where your heart is, and keep your fingers crossed that there will be enough investors around to help make SPRiZZi a reality.

Just how did the idea of SPRiZZi come about? Michael Breault, Founder of Sprizzi drink-co., said, "As an active baseball and football coach with four sons, the number of soda cans and sports bottles we recycled as a family was outstanding, and that's where the idea to build a personal beverage dispenser originated. Other household options like the SodaStream only carbonate your beverage – you still have to fetch your own water, refrigerate it and manually pour the syrup. SPRiZZi, on the other hand, chills water below 40 degrees, carbonates it automatically, adds just the right amount of flavoring, and pours your drink for you, allowing you to create up to 60 types of beverages with the single press of a button."

The SPRiZZi Drink Machine has a new patent-pending revolutionary technology that clearly places this as the first of its kind which can carbonate, refrigerate, mix and dispense over 60 exclusive SPRiZZi flavors. It won't occupy a space that is larger than a standard coffee machine, making it the perfect addition to your home, office or even dorm. Greenpeace activists can sleep in peace knowing that the SPRiZZi Drink Machine is eco-friendly thanks to its utilization of tap water in order to filter and pour beverages, boasting of thermal cooling technology, and 100% recyclable plastic flavor bullets. Individual syrup-infused flavor bullets will pour a 16-ounce, ready-to-drink beverage, where you can choose from classic flavors (colas, orange soda, etc.), non-carbonated options (such as lemonade and tea), old-fashioned gourmet flavors (cream sodas and more), lite flavors (ranging from tea to soda), sports drinks, fruit juices and vitamin/protein/energy-enhanced drinks, to Kidz (made with half the sweetner) and Kidz plus flavors (enriched with vitamins and electrolytes).

$197 is the starting pledge required to receive a SPRiZZi Drink Machine, which is still far more affordable than the projected retail price of $399 when SPRiZZi starts to ship later this August should all go well.

Toshiba Canvio Connect portable hard drive launched

When it comes to portable hard drives, there are some notable names out there in the market such as Western Digital and of course, Toshiba. In fact, the Japanese consumer electronics giant has just announced that they will be rolling out the new Toshiba Canvio Connect portable hard drive which will be the first of its kind to let you access and share files straight from the device, with a maximum capacity of 2TB to boot. I know that there will be some who say that Western Digital, too, has had a 2TB portable hard drive out for ages, but can it do what the Toshiba Canvio Connect does?

In a nutshell, the Toshiba Canvio Connect would allow you to access, share and perform a digital back up of all your files regardless of where you are, and you can use a bevy of devices to boot such as a desktop, notebook, tablet or a smartphone. All of this is made possible thanks to its remote access and file sharing capabilities, where one is able to share one's digital content with friends, family and colleagues from anywhere at any time directly from their Canvio Connect.

Despite its capability of carrying around 2TB of storage space, you would be pleased to know that the Toshiba Canvio Connect will still arrive in a new slim and compact form factor, where you can choose from a range of different colors, where among them include the all time classic black to the likes of silver, blue, red and white. BlackBerry users will have to sit this one out however, as the Toshiba Canvio Connect will feature its very own Toshiba Storage iOS or Android app that lets you perform a remote back up and access capability to the external hard drive.

Just make sure that your Toshiba Canvio Connect remains connected to an Internet-enabled computer which is running, and you can access your files, photos, music and movies anytime, anywhere, regardless of where you are. You are also able to share large files and folders instantly, and as an additional bonus, the Canvio Connect will come with 10GB of free cloud storage for storing “always available” copies of important files. Expect to pay $99, $109.99, $129.99, $169.99 and $189.99 for the 500GB, 750GB, 1TB, 1.5TB and 2TB models, respectively.

Sceptre CarCam Recorder CCR2000

You can never tell just when an accident is about to happen, which is why such events are knowns as accidents in the first place. When you are behind the wheel, riding a bicycle or a motorcycle, it is imperative that you keep your eyes peeled on the road ahead at all times, as accidents happen in the blink of an eye if you are not careful. Paying full attention would give you the advantage of having the fastest response time possible, and this might eventually end up to be the difference between life and death. Having said that, whenever you are driving, it pays to just leave your smartphone alone, never mind that there is voice dictation capability in recent times. Just to make sure your ride has an additional witness, the Sceptre CarCam Recorder CCR2000 would record whatever is going on in front of you as proof just in case someone in front of you cuts into your lane suddenly without any signal, and claim otherwise.

One would associate the name Sceptre more with LED and LCD HDTVs in addition to PC displays, but it seems that they too, want to get a piece of action in the world of car video recorders, hence rolling out the ultra-compact CarCam Recorder CCR2000. The Sceptre CarCam Recorder CCR2000 comes across as a full-HD 1080P video recorder that was specially developed to capture crystal clear videos from within your ride, making it the ideal tool to capture evidence in case of emergencies. Not only that, during times of leisure and peace, the CCR2000 comes in handy to record record scenic drives. Bet you didn't think of it that way, eh?

All video will be recorded at 1920×1080 resolution using H.264 video compression technology, where it will get the best view possible thanks to its 120-degree wide angle lens. There is also a built-in HDMI Output for easy viewing on any display and G-Sensory Technology which can detect collisions and automatically locks the footage so that no overwriting occurs. The asking price for the Sceptre CCR2000 would be $399 a pop.

Microsoft Research comes up with interactive work badge ID

Microsoft Research Cambridge's Steve Hodges and his group of colleagues over at the Sensors and Devices group have been spending their time working on novel sensing technologies in addition to new devices which would make life easier for ordinary folk to interact with computer systems and digital content. Hmmm, this does seem to sound suspiciously like a new foray into the world of touchscreens, or has someone reinvented the reliable keyboard and mouse combination? Apparently not, as they are currently working on something that they have dubbed, "An Interactive Belt-worn Badge with a Retractable String-based Input Mechanism", which was presented at the Association for Computing Machinery's 2013 SIGCHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems.

Hodges said, "We interact with digital content more and more—such as electronic diaries, emails, traffic status, and weather info. But even if you have your mobile phone in your pocket, it can be a pain to interact with this content in many cases. The badge is always on hand and lets you navigate to the content you want simply by moving it to the right place relative to your body, using your spatial muscle memory. It's much easier for quick 'snacking' on small amounts of digital content."

What you see above is the lightweight, interactive badge prototype in the flesh, and as you can notice, it would come with an embedded LCD display which will show off dynamic information to the wearer, instead of the usual work badge ID that always carries your worse mugshot ever, in addition to other nitty gritty such as your work position and department among other details. This one is very different, as it boasts of sensing-based input capabilities that have been integrated within the badge's retractable string, paving the way for single-hand interaction. Of course, plenty of work still needs to be done, especially when it comes to the design and form factor, but I am quite sure that these are challenges that the team would relish, and we hope to see a commercial solution sooner rather than later.

NDuR Survival Straw

Do you happen to have a great love for outdoor adventures? If you have answered in the affirmative, surely you would have had gone out for some adventures of your own in the past, and among these should include memories of drinking water by a nearby brook. Of course, it is always advisable to boil whatever water you are about to drink in order to make sure that the bacteria within are destroyed, but sometimes, that situation is not possible. What are you to do then? Surely you have not come this far outback to get foiled by the lack of clean drinking water? This is where the $29.99 NDuR Survival Straw comes in handy.

The NDuR Survival Straw is said to be the ultimate portable filtration tool, where it is capable of filtering out the likes of micro-organisms, toxins, viruses, and bacteria. All you need to do is sip from the straw and you should be able to drink safely, every single time. There are caveats to this tool, however, but for something that eliminates up to 99.9% of micro-organisms, up to 99.99% of all chemicals and heavy metals, and up to 99.9999% of viruses and bacteria, I think I am willing to take my chances.

Body Heat Mimicking Mosquito Trap

When summer comes, there is nothing quite like spending some time sitting on the patio or balcony if your home happens to have one (or both), watching the sun set, and sipping on a pina colada. Unfortunately, some of us live in a place where there is this pesky insect known as mosquitoes, and getting rid of them can be quite a task. Since we all know that prevention is far better than cure, how about picking up the $599.95 Body Heat Mimicking Mosquito Trap for your home?

This is one mosquito trap that relies on a different kind of "gimmick", where it is touted to realistically mimic human body heat production in an effort to attract and eliminate mosquitoes across the space of an entire acre. This unit is capable of generating constant heat from the center to mimic the human neck, and there is also intermittent heat on its dome which will trick mosquitoes into thinking the warm spots are human veins, hence doing its bit to draw them closer to the trap. Odorless carbon dioxide is produced using propane to lure these pests, and the inclusion of a blue light, which is a color to which mosquitoes are naturally attracted to, will help enhance its lure.

The Hitch Pole – Gives New Meaning to "Tail-Gate"

I guess there are a lot of reasons the adult entertainment industry flourishes all over the world, but I’m going way out on a limb here and guessing that the biggest reason is, well… men. Its no secret that boys like to look at girls in varying stages of undress since the beginning of time, and that wherever woman with little or no clothing are… wide eyed men are usually not far behind.

Well, now you can take the show on the road with the nifty Hitch Pole, the worlds first (okay, probably only) dancers pole that can be attached to the ball hitch of your truck or SUV. Made of hygienic stainless steel or highly polished brass, this 3 x 3 foot dance platform with 7 feet of useable pole can really get the party going in no time.

When mounted (dont even go there) the Hitch Pole is about 5 feet of the ground with a platform designed to withstand up to 200 pounds of jiggly flesh, now there’s a visual you’ll never get rid of. So if you want to add a little lechery to your next outing or parade the Hitch Pole might just be for you.

Sure, you could use the pole to work out, or play an extreme game of ring toss… oh who are we kidding? Trucks and naked women, probably enough said, but what the heck happened to the good ole days when a cooler and a portable grill was enough for a party? The Hitch Pole is available for around 450 bucks (more for the brass) in both 1.75 and 2 inch diameters from platinum stages.com Really? So now you’re telling me size matters?
