Electronics and gadgets are two words that fit very well together. The electronic gadgets section of coolest gadgets is full of all the latest, well you know, electronic gadgets, that we’ve either read about or been lucky enough to get our hands on. The most popular post in electronic gadgets this year is our review and comparison of various digital picture frames.
If you own a small business or just have a lot of valuables in your home, you’ve probably considered purchasing a couple of security cameras. Unfortunately such things cost money, and thus aren’t always an option. If you’re only mildly concerned that people are going to try and break into your place, why not get a couple of dummy cameras instead?
I’ve always wondered what I would do if I came into some vital information that needed to be hidden from prying eyes. You know the kind, the data that could potentially bring down the government and bring the world as we know it to a standstill. Sure, I have no idea how someone like me would come into such information, but I’ve seen enough movies to know it could happen. Thankfully I now know that I would hide it in an unused phone jack.
I know that New Year’s a distant memory by now, but surely some of you have decided to quit smoking back in January, but failed to do so until now? Chewing tobacco doesn’t quite make the grade for you, so what about the Gamucci Micro Electronic Cigarette?
It looks like a cigarette, it tastes like a cigarette, it smokes like a cigarette, but it isn’t a cigarette, it contains no tobacco, and the “smoke” is just vapour. Containing state of the art micro-electronic technology this re-chargeable e-cigarette produces a real smoking experience without any of the deeply unpleasant side-effects of tobacco. As you inhale a tiny battery vapourizes liquid inside the cigarette producing smoke. You can insert cartridges (it comes with a set of them) that will release nicotine - or of course choose to skip the nicotine altogether and just puff away on what is virtually nothing. Of course people may come finger-wagging at you telling to put it out (it looks that real), but there’s nothing to put out.
Each £49.95 purchase comes with a spare battery and charger, and a full charge out to be able to last you for a long, long time. I wonder whether minors are allowed to “smoke” this since it technically isn’t a real cancer stick.
Green House has just released its GH-EXC-ESA2 card that increases the connectivity of your notebook. It will feature a couple of 3.0Gbps eSATA slots, a JBOD external drive, and support for RAID 0/1. Not only will it come in the older PCMCIA Type II model, there will also be a PCI Express version. Both devices have been certified to run on both Windows XP and Vista, so Mac owners are out of the loop yet again. Bummer! No idea on how much this costs, nor whether it will be available outside of Japan or not.

I don’t care whether you’re a pilot or a frequent flier, there are still ways for the good old time zones to wipe your body clock clean of any past rhythms. Taking a trip from the U.S. to the U.K. is only fun once you’ve got your sleeping patterns back under control. At least enough so you can get a taste of both the night life, and the day light festivities.
The BC4 Flight Timer from Oris is a awesome way to keep tabs on up to three time zones at once right from your wrist. The BC4 features an automatic movement with the second timezone subdial, while the extra-large crown can adjust the third dial for yet another time zone.
How many times have you been stranded somewhere with a dead cell phone battery? I’m sure that it’s happened to everyone at least a few times, and it’s always at the most inconvenient time. There are many solutions out there to ensure that you’ll be able to get some extra juice to your phone, but here’s one that is a bit more eco-friendly.
QStarz announced its spanking new Bluetooth GPS receiver known as the BT-Q818. QStarz is even bold enough to claim that this is the most powerful of its kind in the world, and judging by the specifications given so far, they might not be too far off from the truth. You get a 51-channel MTK chipset and low-power consumption hardware that allows it to run up to 32 hours before a recharge is required. You will be able to choose an update rate ranging from 1Hz to 5Hz, depending on just how far you would like its battery to go. No word on pricing, but the BT-Q818 ought to be out sometime in the near future.

I believe that I have previously reported on alarm clocks that require some odd turnoff method before they shut off. For example, the Throw Alarm Clock requires you to bounce or throw it in order to shut it off.
This Laser Target Alarm Clock allows you to shoot it. That’s right, when the alarm goes off, the user readies the laser, aims, and fires.
I believe that the purpose of this clock is to give the user some great satisfaction as they shoot that most hated appliance. “Yes, by pulling out a gun on the Laser Target Alarm Clock, you can scare the daylight out of something that usually scares the daylight into you.”
All right, that isn’t a direct quote from the site, but the site does emphasize that it “fires up the brain to control and concentrate on the very exact hand-eye co-ordination required to aim your laser beam remote at the exact centre of the target”. In other words, by the time you pick up your knock-off Star Trek: The Next Generation phaser and shoot the target, your brain is definitely awake. No hitting the snooze bar here.
