Bluetooth BBQ Thermometer

They say that cooking is an art, and for those of us who happen to burn the pot while one is boiling water, it goes without saying the kitchen is a whole lot better off without you in it. The thing is, you have this passion to tinker around the kitchen much to the chagrin of everyone else living under the same roof as you, but thank goodness technology has progressed to such a stage where it is able to help out even the most clueless of chefs. Case in point, BBQs are fun, but it is an art to know whether that slab of meat, or row of sausages are well cooked right to the inside. Enter the $79.99 Bluetooth BBQ Thermometer to help you get the job done.

With the Bluetooth BBQ Thermometer, no longer do you need to hang around a hot grill in order to check on the temperature of the food being cooked constantly, leaving you time and opportunity to chat up that sweet young thing whom you have had your eyes on for the longest time already. The Bluetooth BBQ Thermometer would come across as a grilling, cooking, smoking thermometer, where it will work in tandem with an app on your iOS-powered device, or other compatible smartphones. A dual temperature probe will monitor a couple of different meats simultaneously, even up to 200 feet away, and will alert you the moment your food has reached the temperature you set on the base station.

Single Handed Barber

You are a definite man's man, and you absolutely loathe having to ask for help from different people during your moments of weakness. In fact, you live by the motto that "if you want something done right, then do it yourself", so much so that you do not even trust the local barber to get your hair cut, preferring instead to do it yourself. If that is the case, then the $59.95 Single Handed Barber might be your cup of tea, as this electric hair trimmer is said to be able to cut evenly in any direction, allowing you to maintain your own closely cropped, clean-cut hairstyle without having to fork out more money for the barber.

In fact, the Single Handed Barber has been touted to be so easy to use as though you are combing your hair. Amazing, isn't it? Just how is that possible? Well, the circular trimmer’s rotary cutting system and razor-sharp stainless steel blades will cut into your hair as the unit is moved circularly through your head, as it gently accommodates the contours of your pate. There will be a couple of attachments cut hair to four different lengths (1/8″, 1/4″, 3/8″, or 1/2″), and thanks to an ergonomic design, it will be able to fit nicely in the palm of your hand for a more precise control. Hammacher claims the rechargeable battery can deliver a quartet of five-minute hair cuts after a 16-hour charge, or you can plug it directly into the power outlet for extended preening sessions.

HP SlateBook x2 brings more power to the Android ecosystem

So we took a gander at the HP Split x2 hybrid notebook earlier this morning, but is that the only device that was recently announced by HP? Not quite, as the other rabbit that HP pulled out from their hat is the HP SlateBook x2, although this puppy does not have anything to do with the Windows 8 operating system, but prefers to jive with Google’s Android mobile operating system instead. So, how does the HP SlateBook x2 stack up against the rest of the Android-powered tablets in the market? It would be interesting to see how, but we will have to wait until later this August as that is when the HP SlateBook x2 will be released in the US for $479.99 a pop.

With the HP SlateBook x2, users are said to be able to shift effortlessly from entertainment to work thanks to the clever combination of tablet portability alongside notebook productivity in a sleek, lightweight package, where it relies on the hugely popular Android operating system (that has since seen 900 million plus device activations ever since Android was introduced commercially a few years back) to get the job done. Thanks to an advanced magnetic hinge design and dual battery system, where you will find one battery residing in the keyboard dock and the other in the tablet itself, users can switch from notebook to tablet and back in a jiffy.

To make sure that users of the HP SlateBook x2 will not trade functionality for portability, it runs on the latest Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean version, where you will be able to enjoy the full slew of Google services such as Google Now, Google Search, Gmail, YouTube, Google Drive and Google+ Hangouts for multiperson video chat, in addition to gaining access to apps and digital content through thanks to Google Play.

The HP SlateBook x2 will be powered by an NVIDIA Tegra 4 mobile processor, where it comes with a 10.1-inch HD touchscreen display, 64MB of internal storage (that's pretty little, no?) and DTS Sound+ Solution. Hopefully the 64MB of internal storage is a typo by the PR folks, 64GB would make much more sense. Any takers for the Slatebook x2?

HP Split x2 hybrid notebook

What do you think of hybrids? Most of the time, hybrids deliver the best of both worlds. Some of the most famous fictional hybrids would include Blade the vampire hunter, where he has all the strengths of a vampire with little of their weaknesses, as they call him the Daywalker. Having said that, if you were a piece of consumer electronics – most notably a tablet, would you wish you were a notebook instead, and vice versa? Why not enjoy the best of both worlds with what HP has managed to come up in the form of the HP Split x2, which so happens to be a two-in-one detachable notebook that merges the power as well as portability of a tablet and notebook, running on Windows 8 as the operating system of choice.

With a powerful 3rd generation Intel Core processor running underneath the hood, you can be sure that the HP Split x2 will not come gimped right from the get go. With the HP Split x2, you are more or less assured of a high-performance ultraportable notebook that is suitable for just about any kind of intensive task, and as and when the situation calls for it, it also doubles up as a 13-inch tablet that delivers unparalleled entertainment capability – especially when you need to unwind after a particularly difficult day at work by playing your favorite games and watching some interesting cat videos, amongst others.

The HP Split x2 will be able to deliver regardless of whether you use it as a high-performance notebook or a tablet, thanks to its vibrant 13.3-inch diagonal HD touchscreen display that makes viewing and sharing content a snap, while playing games is a whole lot more enjoyable due to the increased viewing real estate. Your ears, too, will be able to appreciate the inclusion of HP Connected Music and Beats Audio that is touted to offer the best-sounding, richest audio experience on a computer.

The HP Split x2 is tipped to arrive Stateside this August from $799.99 onwards.

Envelope X-ray Spray – Better than a Superpower?

I have grown up a lot in the last several years. I’ve become much more secure and trusting. I mean, I would never be caught dead steaming open a personal letter clearly addressed to my husband, even if it was obviously written by a woman and smelled faintly of perfume. I can’t imagine anyone ever stooping so low…

Because now we have Envelope X-ray Spray! Now, steaming open sealed envelopes is a thing of the past, because Envelope X-ray Spray turns ordinary paper translucent, thus allowing you to get some idea as to whats lurking inside, ruling out any unseemly activities you might be concerned about, or conversely, you can amaze your family and friends with your tremendous psychic abilities.

Your new environmentally-friendly can of x-ray vision doesn’t leave the envelope permanently see-through, the effect last’s for only 30 seconds or so, and then, like magic, the envelope returns to its original state leaving absolutely no indication of the completely insecure, I mean totally ingenious, person you have now become.

So whether you’re simply taking your magic act on the road, or perhaps have a spouse of questionable morals, or maybe you’re simply one of those less than angelic kids that like to have a vague idea of what kind of letters are being sent home from school (before your parents do), Envelope X-ray Spray may be for you. Each can treats several hundred square inches and you can get yours at amazon.com for under 15 bucks… just don’t get it on your clothes, I’m not responsible for what happens then.

DIY USB Flash Drive Heroes

We are referring to the £19.99 DIY USB Flash Drive Heroes, where you will be able to choose from a couple of the greatest warriors ever to walk the Earth – at least within their respective courtyards, of course.

Each of these USB flash drives will be made from tactile, water resistant silicone that boasts of multiple moving parts as well as accessories, and surely it puts the word "flash" in the DIY USB Flash Drive Heroes name! These novelty USB sticks will be different from the rest, since you will be able to retain the protective cap, while the techy section remains protected at all times in a Pez dispenser style. You will be able to build yours from the ground up if you have a penchant for all things DIY.

Solar Powered Cat Tantalizer

You cannot just leave a cat cooped up at home all day long, as it too, has the need to hunt – being part of its built-in nature, that is. Since you are out at work from morning till dusk, and letting loose a couple of rats before you leave for the office would most probably result in you greeting a disgusting sight by the time you return home (not to mention that awful, rotting smell of a carcass), how about getting a toy to keep your feline friend amused and occupied while you are gone? The $39.95 Solar Powered Cat Tantalizer lives up to its name by never requiring to fall back on batteries, but will move whenever it is struck by sunlight to simulate the behavior of prey.

The Solar Powered Cat Tantalizer did pick up the gong for being the Best Cat Product of the Year by Cat Fancy magazine, and it is affixed to a window or glass door using industrial-grade suction cups which are capable of resisting even the strongest tug by a leaping pet. Whenever it's solar cell is in the path of direct sunlight, the built-in motor will activate, moving the rod back and forth in order to cause the dangling plastic ball and colorful feathers to sway and bounce, mesmerizing your pet cat and prompting them to exercise and practice their hunting skills. You can also detach it for manual operation whenever you are home.
