Window Cop – An Alarm for Open Windows

by Al

WindowCopIf you like to have fresh air blowing around your home or office (probably not at this time of year) but are concerned about the security risks of leaving a window open then Window Cop could be the answer.

Window Cop is an adjustable window screen which lets air in but keeps out bugs and scares off potential intruders. If anybody tries to tamper with or remove the Window Cop it will let off an ear-piercing alarm. The Window Cop is easy to install and no tools are required, it currently only works with double hung windows but a version for sliding windows is in development.

I Spy with my Tie…

by Edwin

spy-tie.jpgIf the man in your life is a techology geek who cannot seem to have enough gadgets in the house, it can be quite a headache knowing what to get him for his birthday or your anniversary. After all, he probably knows more about gadgets than what you can find on the Internet (partly attributed to him reading Coolest Gadgets, of course), so it can be quite a tricky thing to please him. Getting yet another iPod is lame, so what are the other alternative gift items? How does a Spy Tie sound to you?

Careful with the spy coins!

by Dan

coin.jpgAccording to the American Defense department some mysterious coins were found in contractors that were traveling trough Canada (three separate events were registered early in 2006). Why the coins were mysterious you might ask? Because apparently they contained small radio frequency transmitters inside them, with the purpose of spying.

Yahoo news has an interesting article about the deal: “Experts said such tiny transmitters would almost certainly have limited range to communicate with sensors no more than a few feet away, such as ones hidden inside a doorway. The metal in the coins also could interfere with any signals emitted”.

The article also commented that “hiding tracking technology inside coins is fraught with risks because the spy’s target might inadvertently give away the coin or spend it buying coffee or a newspaper.” (no shit man!). Continue reading » Careful with the spy coins!

Look Mom! I’m a cameraman!!! Also I can make this jump!! probably,,,

by Fred

Sure, you mountain bike, snowboard, rock climb, fish, play chess, and drive formula 1, (this means you Coulthard!)

I’m sure you always wanted to bring back those living images of greatness when you jumped, landed, caught, or checkmated all your opponents in living color.

Now it’s possible for a reasonable sum of money! (that’s different than paying for the lipstick cameras that adorn F1 cars that cost a tad more than $100). Thanks to the ATC-2000 Action Camera from Oregon Scientific. A special thanks to the big guy over at Fat Cyclist, (his words not mine) for letting me in on the secret.

The Action camera is just what the typical adrenaline (and bbq salmon teriyaki) fiend is looking for.  Durability. Did I mention durability?  Yeah, cause I break stuff and I know you do too! As far as frame rate, you only get 15fps, which is more than fast enough to capture sports that require you to see what you’re doing.  Just don’t go play that Tron-lightcycles game, man that is hard to follow on video!

JASON! I told you not to touch that!!! oh,, wait,, you can touch that.

by Fred

Yes, they’re at it again, the wise and all knowing JASON. bradygames red pill green pill

Who or what is a JASON you may ask?

Well, they’re a relatively secret cabal of U.S. scientists that operate beyond political arenas (that’s they’re stipulation). The nice thing is, they just do what they do. They’re umm, good thinkers.

That’s really an understatement, they’re mostly the most brilliant scientists we have and well they do what they can (boy am I gonna get flamed on that one).

Anyhow, they’ve just put out a recommendation regarding engineering microorganisms for energy production.

So there I was wondering do I want a red pill or a green pill, and all of a sudden my question was answered! Over at Secrecy News, where this was posted, where there’s all sorts of scary crap. The JASON’s recommendation outlines production of microorganisms.

Wireless Mini Spy Camera With Night Vision

Wireless Mini Spy Camera With Night Vision

It seems like there is always a new cool gadget that surpasses the others in quality, I’m 84% sure that is the case with this Spy Camera. It is better than the Hidden Light Bulb Camera + the R/C Night Vision Spy Car put together, seriously, just imagine the fun you can have with it after checking all the features.

To start with, this is a spy cam so it has to be small in order to be placed in strange places for important observations, you wouldn’t want a gigantic camera ruining your projects, now would you? It only measures 3 x 3 x 4cm which can be considered too tiny for a camera.
