I would have done so already, but my husband and 10 year old still watch prime time television, I know, I can’t believe it myself!

Well, now that you are working, don't you think that it is about time you treat yourself to the toys of your liking and interest? Case in point, the $169.99 R/C Wi-Spi Helicopter which is said to bring normal toys to the next level. In a nutshell, you can deduce from the name of this particular toy alone that this will be a remote controlled helicopter that sports its very own integrated camera, and it is capable of transmitting live footage to a smartphone – regardless of whether it runs on the Android or iOS operating system, via an app. The R/C Wi-Spi Helicopter is also controlled using your smartphone or tablet of course, where you are able to save photos from the in-flight camera to your handset instantly, and follow that up with a quick share to a social network somewhere. I wonder whether kids who are curious to see their neighbors would use this to their advantage, and they might stumble upon some embarrassing scenes along the way, too.

Well, what kind of relief can a poor girl find in this day and age of modern medical technology? Those who want to exhaust all possibilities on their own first (or have already tried everything else to no avail) might want to consider giving the $149.95 Menstrual Cramp Relieving Compression Belt a go. The Menstrual Cramp Relieving Compression Belt is a compression belt which claims to offer relief from menstrual discomfort in a matter of minutes, all without having to take in medication or make use of hot water bottles. It is the brainchild of a chiropractor who treats elite female athletes, and even better is the fact that the Menstrual Cramp Relieving Compression Belt does not require any kind of batteries or electricity to power it. All the patient needs to do is fasten the belt, lie on one's side and use an adjustable mechanism in order to increase the tension of its two compression pads against the hips. Whenever steady pressure is applied in this area, the belt will help relax tense pelvic ligaments which can tighten uncomfortably whenever a woman is undergoing her menstrual cycle, which will in turn reduce or eliminate abdominal and back pain. So far, Hammacher claims that a 15-minute session offers hours of relief and can be repeated as often as required without any negative consequences.

Well, most of the time, lasers are depicted in science fiction movies sometime in the far off future, where mankind has explored the galaxies far and wide, bringing along with them their sense of adventure and warfare (it is inevitable, as the entire universe is atrophying, so resisting conflict would be futile), and in a case of self-defense (or offense for some), a quick laser shot would do the trick nicely. Star Trek has their phasers, while the X-Wings in the Star Wars universe will see lasers shot from the tips of the S-Foils. The thing is, when will such high tech warfare and weaponry arrive on planet earth? It seems that the answer is "in the right here and now", where the US Navy has already received its very own kind of laser cannon that has made short work of drones bobbing away in a distance, and said laser cannons can be fitted to active warships. The US Navy will obviously start to fit their own ships that sail the seven seas with lasers, touting that this represents the future of warfare. Also known as the Laser Weapon System or Laws for short, it has seen action in testing areas, shooting down drones, and considering how it relies on electricity to fire, it costs under $1 per shot – which should be as efficient in disabling a small vessel on the sea, and when you compare it to a $475,000 Sidewinder missile, it makes a whole lot more economical sense to implement Laws throughout their fleet, no? Interestingly enough, the prototype is not expensive either, where it costs less than $40 million to make, which is a drop in the ocean that the US call their defense budget. It will be installed aboard the USS Ponce, where said vessel has been assigned to the status of a floating base in the Middle East, although this is set to happen sometime after October this year. The Navy has hope that incoming missiles will be unable to outmanoeuvre a highly accurate laser beam that is fired at the speed of light, and for the controller, this could very well be a video game of sorts, although real lives are at stake.

Of course, electric cars have yet to make it to the mainstream consciousness across the world, for obvious infrastructure reasons, and there is also the issue of costs involved, but it sure as heck is encouraging to see how the world is slowly but surely lowering their dependency on fossil fuels where vehicles are concerned, and instead, looking towards greener solutions, including hybrid ones. The Zeit Eco is definitely not the first kind of electric scooter that has been released, but according to the creators of the Zeit Eco, this particular compact last mile transport vehicle is able to stand out from the rest of the crowd, which we will deal with right after the jump. For starters, the Zeit Eco comes with a hub motor that offers an electronically limited top speed of 15 mph (24 km/h), which will not make your adrenaline pump as though you were about to step on the accelerator while being involved in a drag race, and its standard battery pack ought to be decent enough to offer a range of anywhere from 16 to 25 miles (25 – 40 km) per full charge, depending on your weight, riding style and road conditions. Another feature of the Zeit Eco would be a built-in “glove compartment” that is large enough to ensure that a tablet remains safe from harm whenever you travel, while the included handlebar charging port will make sure that your mobile devices get some juice en route to your destination. Not only that, there is also an onboard audio system that ought to offer the relevant entertainment on the go, although I would strongly recommend against wearing a pair of headphones as you zip around in this puppy, since hearing what is going on around you would make a whole lot more sense. This Kickcstarter project has started to receive pledges, which will begin from $1,700 a pop, and delivery is estimated to happen in November if all goes well. The funding window will remain open until May 17.

Daily Digest Coolest Gadgets for 04/08/2013

The latest and coolest gadgets daily digest Is this email not displaying correctly? View it in your browser. Apr 08, 2013 01:00 pm | Julie Zipz Wine – In a Glass, to Go! Yes, I am here to extol the joys of portable, self contained, alcoholic beverages. I fondly remember the days where anything could be made better by a  six-pack (or two) of my favorite beer, heck you could take a can of beer anywhere, it came in its own serving container, just pop the top and enjoy… none of that pesky bottle opening, cork closing, annoying wine glass business you have with a bottle of Merlot. So wine never got to be the beach beverage of choice.. or tailgate parties, picnics or sporting events. (anywhere convenience was a factor) Until now. Meet Zipz Wine, a neat solution that brings you premium wines in a very sophisticated single serve “glass” that lets you take your wine with you, almost anywhere you want to go, yet still be able to sip it in style. Each 100% recyclable Zipz Wine “glass” is covered in a special, patented plastic wrap that you simply peel off, allowing you to remove the lid which is then simply snapped to the bottom of the base, becoming the foot. It looks and feels like real glass, but won’t cause a problem if dropped near your pool or patio… neat! Sure, I still love a good beer, but a lovely glass of wine is always a treat, and Zipz is serving up some premium California wines like Chardonnay, Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and a nice Pinot Grigio. I can see some poolside Cabernet in my future, if you can see some in yours, visit Zachys.com or find a local retailer at Zipzwine.com. Cheers!   [ Zipz Wine – In a Glass, to Go! copyright by Coolest Gadgets ] Read More Apr 08, 2013 11:23 am | Alison Play the Violin Like a Pro What is a musician to do when they want to take up a completely different instrument? Well, in the case of Dylan Menzies, create a gadget that produces sweet sounds without the years and years of practice. This sax and keyboard player wanted to come up with an authentic method to reproduce the sweet sounds of a violin. So he took to technology. The O-Bow involves an optical sensor, software and a mini keyboard. The sensor detects angle and speed of the bow. The keyboard enables Menzies to choose the notes to play and the software processes it all and enables creation of different sounds. In a matter of minutes you can produce realistic violin sounds while sitting at your computer. Menzies plans to bring the O-Bow to market, but no launch plans exist yet. For anyone looking to record music or who simply loves the sounds you suddenly have a violin at your disposal.

The thing is, there are instances where new mothers are separated from their newborns right after birth, no thanks to a host of reasons, where among them include complications that arise post birth, a premature birth, or for some, the need for post surgical recovery. Of course, this moment in time would definitely be very hard for the mother, who has for at least 7 months already did her fair bit in making sure that said child would have a relatively safe passage into this world. In order to ease the pain of this separation in a virtual manner, the Cedars-Sinai hospital in Los Angeles will be relying on the wonders of an iPad in their neonatal intensive care unit for video teleconferencing purposes between mothers and children. The new program will be known as BabyTime, where it also offers a new mother the ability to speak with the clinicians who happen to take care of her baby. This is more than a welcome feature, especially when things do seem to go downhill at the moment, as this particular connection between mother and child is one that remains all life long, even right from the very beginning. The iPad will be set up right beside the infant's incubator the moment said infant enters the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit, while the new mother would be on the receiving end of an iPad herself, as she can log onto BabyTime twice a day. Selma Braziel, nurse manager for the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit, said, "The BabyTime program will reduce fear and stress in the new moms as they are able to see their babies and also communicate with the doctors and nurses." I can totally identify with what she said, and it makes a potentially traumatic experience more manageable, which is always a good thing.

Not only that, the risks are high for campaigners, as they could end up beaten, kidnapped or in the very extreme, murdered, whih is why Civil Rights Defenders in Stockholm has rolled out the Natalia Project. Why the Natalia Project? This particular title was named after Natalia Estemirova, a human rights activist who was abducted and subsequently, murdered, in Chechnya in 2009. The Natalia Project will see the development of an electronic bracelet which will be able to send a pre-programmed text alarm should it be activated or forcibly removed. Not only that, within the bracelet lies a wireless assault alarm system that will hopefully draw immediate attention to any assaults on human rights activists. Civil Rights Defenders has so far remained rather quiet on the kind of technology that they have packed in the Natalia Project, but this is understandable. We do know, however, that it will use GPS and GSM technology, in addition to the fact that bracelet itself has been programmed with “individual protocols for security.” Apart from the bracelets, the Natalia Project will also encourage folks to sign up using Twitter or Facebook so that they will be on the receiving end of weekly updates on the project, in addition to being part of a global alert network. Civil Rights Defenders has every intention of deploying 30 of such bracelets sometime this year, and want to see up to 55 of these in use by 2014. Unfortunately, only one has been funded to date.

Well, the £24.95 Twilight Umbrella is not going to jive with all of you Stephenie Meyer fans, but it definitely will go down well with the British, or folks living in that part of the world. There is a purpose for the existence of the Twilight Umbrella, and as we all know, Britain gets plenty of rain – some say that it is way too much, but others revel in the downpour despite it being too dreary and dull at times. Well, why not spruce up the situation with the Twilight Umbrella, where it comes in a hot pink color, and will sport little fibre optic lights that are dotted all around it. There is no need for any electricity to power the Twilight Umbrella, as just batteries are required. [ Twilight Umbrella changes color adds some jazz to your life copyright by Coolest Gadgets ] Read More Apr 08, 2013 05:00 am | Edwin Serious Sportfisherman's Watch Some folks absolutely love fishing, where their devotion to the sport or activity is clearly on par with those who cannot get enough of golf. Well, being out in the open sea, or by the creek, you would definitely want to be well equipped, and a timepiece can be said to be a crucial piece of equipment for you to wear. I guess it makes perfect sense then to pick up the $499.95 Serious Sportfisherman’s Watch, where the name of this particular timepiece says it all. The Serious Sportfisherman’s Watch will (obviously) be able to tell the time, in addition to the moon phase and tidal information for up to 275 major fishing ports that are located around the world. It is a veritable electronic tome of information on maritime locations within the U.S., Canada, Central America, Caribbean, and Pacific, where they range from Montauk Point to Grand Cayman to Papeete Harbor. Each location will see the watch show the next two upcoming tides and their respective heights, current moon phase, incoming or outgoing tidal flow, and sunrise/sunset times among others. You can turn off the display for a clean analog look, where its hands and hour markers will be illuminated for darkened conditions. Quartz movement would pave the way for precise timekeeping, where it is constructed from 316L marine-grade stainless steel. The case sports a screw-down crown and case back that offers a rigid, watertight seal, making sure you get to enjoy water resistance up to 656′.
