Chick-a-Dee Smoke Detector

Posted: 23 Oct 2011 05:30 AM PDT

You can never tell when a fire is going to begin – it is just one of those things in life, but this is where being prepared comes in handy. Every home should have a fire escape plan for all the family, in addition to a fire extinguisher as well as smoke detectors. Instead of getting a boring looking smoke detector, why not chic things up with the £34.99 Chick-a-Dee Smoke Detector? Yes sir, this unique smoke alarm will certainly shed the tags of being boring and ugly, where it resembles a bird on a twig instead.

It seems to be the perfect tool for any room in your home, where it will not issue a real life Chickadee mating call when it detects smoke – but instead will wake the dead up with an 85db alarm signal upon detection of some smoke in the room. There is a 1.5-year battery life with each device, and a test button will definitely help you make sure everything is in fine working operation. Should the battery die off, an alarm signal will be played so that you can do the necessary. Any takers?

Leica D-Lux 5 Titanium announced

Posted: 23 Oct 2011 05:00 AM PDT

When it comes to digital cameras, most people stick to the more popular brands such as Sony, Nikon, Canon, Kodak, Fujifilm, and perhaps even Samsung. Well, what about Leica? This is certainly an old school brand from Germany that has stood the test of time, and in their latest iteration of the highly successful D-Lux line, the German company decided to roll out a special edition of the Leica D-Lux 5 Titanium.

This will be a 10.1-megapixel shooter that will sport silver-grey styling that is impressively elegant in terms of design, and it sure helps that high-quality materials are also used in its construction to further reinforce its refined appearance. If you are a collector of digital cameras that come in different editions (ala the Nintendo DS Lite), then you would be pleased to have the Leica D-Lux 5 Titanium in your sights.

After all, you surely cannot argue the fact that each purchase comes with a premium titanium-colored leather case as well as the latest Adobe Photoshop Lightroom professional image-processing software, helping cement the D-Lux 5 Titanium set’s position as an all-inclusive package for discerning photographers – in addition to being an object of desire for lovers of stylish products and exquisite accessories.

Apart from the aesthetic upgrades of this special edition, all the advanced technical specifications of the standard model Leica D-Lux 5 will remain similar, making it an ideal tool to deal with a wide range of photographic opportunities. For instance, the D-Lux 5 Titanium will incorporate a fast zoom lens with a focal length range from 24 to 90 mm (35 mm equivalent focal length), delivering a 1/1.63" CCD image sensor that can be said to be unusually large for a compact camera.

It also has a wide viewing angle and 460,000 pixel resolution, where the camera monitor will show off extremely high quality images both before and after capture. It has clearly laid-out functions and straightforward operation so that even newbies are able to take it up and start composing their shots right away without having to leaf through a really thick manual. If you want to record High Definition video with this puppy, that too, can be arranged.

Digital Spoon Measure

Posted: 22 Oct 2011 05:30 AM PDT

Since the whole world has become far more digitized today than ever before, it makes perfect sense for digital technology to permeate different parts of our life – including those at home, and especially for folks who love cooking, in the kitchen. While it might take years of experience to more of less figure out just how much salt or a particular condiment needs to be included in a dish, beginners would be greatly aided if they had some sort of tool – such as the £19.99 Digital Spoon Measure.

The name itself tells it all – it will eliminate the guesswork involved from all those “tsps” and “tbsps”, where it can measure just about anything – powders, granules, gels and liquids up to a generous 300g (or 10.58oz). Since it comes with a couple of interchangeable scoops, it doesn’t matter whether you are dealing with teaspoons or tablespoons. Just make sure you have a couple of AAA batteries around just in case it runs out of juice.

Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.0 Plus arrives Stateside

Posted: 22 Oct 2011 05:00 AM PDT

Just how many Galaxy Tabs are there out in the market at the moment? It is a question that certainly warrants an answer considering how Samsung loves to lump an entire family’s worth of devices under a single name. Well, we do know that it all started off with the original 7″ Galaxy Tab that while it was no iPad killer, it certainly did help Samsung figure out more on just what consumers wanted. Well, I guess with the Galaxy Tab 10.1 that proved to be quite a winner in our books, their experience has brought them to the Galaxy Tab 7.0 Plus now.

What’s so special about the Galaxy Tab 7.0 Plus? For starters, it will feature a Peel Smart Remote App that is said to deliver a powerful "Discover, Tap and Watch" home entertainment experience. Basically, Peel is supposed to enable users to instantly find and watch their favorite TV shows – while having the ability to stumble upon new shows depending on your preferences that have been entered into the Tab 7.0 Plus via the touchscreen display.

Personally, I prefer a 7″ display since it is easier to hold and slip into my jacket pocket, but for those who prefer a larger sized display, I would recommend you stick to the Galaxy Tab 10.1 if Apple products are not your cup of tea. The Galaxy Tab 7.0 Plus certainly is the pinnacle of 7″ tablets at the moment, packing in a whole lot of processing power into a body that tips the scales at a mere 345 grams while measuring just 9.96mm thin.

It will be powered by Google’s Android 3.x Honeycomb operating system that is tablet-centric (no idea on whether it will end up with Ice Cream Sandwich or not eventually though), making sure you get the best Android tablet experience to date. With built-in infrared capabilities, the Galaxy Tab 7.0 Plus is able to double up as another remote control for your home theater/TV setup. Peel basically enables users to control any home entertainment system regardless of manufacturer.

Interested? The 16GB Galaxy Tab 7.0 Plus will arrive Stateside to tempt you with your hard earned money this coming November 13th for $399.99. Seems to make for a decent Christmas gift idea, don’t you think so?
