Tailors Steam Press
Ironing can be quite the pain, especially when you’re already in a rush trying to get ready for office only to discover that your shirt is all creased since you failed to maintain an iron (pun intended) discipline where house chores are concerned.
This is the professional-grade digital steam press with a pressing surface that is more than seven times larger than most handheld irons, reducing ironing time by up to 50%. Pressing is controlled with an automatic digital monitoring system to ensure consistent results based on the kind of fabric (nylon, silk, rayon, wool, cotton, or linen) you select on the instrument panel. A simple lowering of the handle produces more than 100 lbs. of pressure and the unit generates steam up to 410° F, instantly smoothing stubborn wrinkles and forming sharp creases, yet the press will neither cause fabric to wear nor leave a shiny finish on fine clothes.
The Tailors Steam Press sounds like the perfect gift for those who don’t want to waste too much time ironing their clothes, retailing for $249.95.
Gator Lightweight Electric Guitar Case
So you’re an accomplished guitarist in your own right, but somehow you seem to lack the star power that other folks have. Why not spruce up your image with the Gator Lightweight Electric Guitar Case? This not only keeps your means of livelihood safe and sound from nicks and knocks, it even features an iPod dock – essential for any musician as they need to find a vehicle to carry around their eclectic mix of music. A couple of battery-powered speakers have been built into the case, but don’t expect sound quality to be on-par or even close to that of a dedicated audio system.

Intel on a rampage
Intel has just rolled out a dual-socket motherboard for PC manufacturers who want nothing but the very best for their customers, resulting in a high-powered machine that runs on a couple of quad-core processors as well as multiple graphics cards simultaneously. Known in consumer electronics circles as Skulltrail previously, you get the Dual Socket Extreme Desktop Platform that features a Desktop Board D5400XS and a couple of high-powered Core 2 Extreme QX9775 processors as well as the ability to support both Crossfire from ATI or SLI graphics cards from Nvidia. This way, no matter which graphical camp you prefer to set your base on, you will be able to start fragging almost immediately despite playing in the highest resolution possible while turning all other shaders and anti-aliasing options on.

Microsoft drops Xbox 360 price
In order to sell more gaming units, Microsoft decided to cut the price of their finest product, also known as Xbox 360. But there is one strange detail, this cut is only going to happen in one country – Canada.
Can it be only Canada because there aren’t many Xbox’s being sold there? Are they trying to make a point with this? Or is there any other reason? I really don’t know, but according to David Dennis from Microsoft - each market makes its own decision on the matter.

Emotiv sees an update
Remember the Emotiv headset which we covered last year? That was a unique mind-controller that enabled wearers to actually control the actions on the screen simply by using the power of the mind, but one year ago, the prototype could not do as much as what was displayed at GDC this year. This updated Emotiv headset is now even more capable of interpreting the interaction of neurons in the brain, picking up electrical activity from the brain while sending signals to a computer sans wires. This makes it a snap for users to manipulate a game (imagine making headshots all the time with perfect accuracy in Counter Strike) and a virtual environment naturally and intuitively.

Asus Nova P22 to Compete With Mac Mini
Ever since Apple came out with the Mac Mini, PC manufacturers have been scrambling to come out with a “Mac Mini Clone” that will run Windows yet still have that “cool” factor that the Apple product has.
Hot on the heels of their great success with the Eee PC, Asus has come out with the Nova P22 series of computers to compete with the Mac Mini. Like most Windows PCs that try to compete with the tiny Mac Mini, the Nova P22 is just a bit larger. It weighs just over four pounds (a pound heavier than the Mac) and when you lay the Nova flat it measures 2.1 inches tall (just a hair taller than the Mac), 9.8 inches wide and 7.25 inches deep, making its overall volume larger (compared with the Mac Mini’s 2x6x6 inch measurements).
Sure it’s larger than the Mac Mini, but the Asus Nova P22 gives you a little more setup flexibility thanks to an included metal stand lets you stand it upright. Otherwise, your customization options are limited, as Asus offers no upgrade options for this system – what you see is what you get. Although nobody had a problem upgrading their Eee PCs, so the do-it-yourselfers out there can breathe a sigh of relief.
The system also comes with an IR Microsoft Certified Remote Controller, thus making it a potential machine to tie to your home theater equipment. Continue reading » Asus Nova P22 to Compete With Mac Mini
Veho Film and Slide Converter
I don’t know about you, but I remember when a projector was something that could not do DVDs, but was designed to project things called slides. These were 35mm white framed things that you would have to arrange in a round housing carousel. Then you would click on a button, and the slide would be projected, usually upside down or sideways. Slideshows were an excellent way to bore guests with still shots of your life, and it was also an excellent way to get guests to leave.
To be honest, I can’t remember the last time I saw a slide show, since we live in an age of PowerPoint. However, there are still people who have tons of these slides gathering dust in their attic. Clearly, somebody needs to convert these slides to digital files before time takes its toll.
The Veho Film and Slide Converter is way ahead of us. All a user needs to do is plug in the apparatus to a USB drive, then have it take a picture of the slide you need with its 5 megapixel camera. The device can also do film negatives as well.
