Shure SE846 sound isolating earphone

by Edwin - on May 21, 2013

As I type this, I am sitting in an Airbus A320, cattle class, typing on a Dell XPS 12 and realizing that my arms have hell to pay when I touch down in an hour’s time simply because there is just not enough space to type properly, but work still needs to get done. To make matters more uncomfortable as they already are at the moment, there are a couple of ladies in the opposite row who have not stopped yakking – and yakking loudly, too, for the past hour. Who would have thought that they have so much to talk about, in addition to letting the rest of the world know of their family issues and problems? This is where the Shure SE846 sound isolating earphone would certainly come to my aid.

Cordless Personal Massager

by Edwin - on May 21, 2013

There is nothing quite like having a lovely massage after a particularly long day at work, but sometimes, your other half is unable to press all the right pressure points despite you giving verbal directions, and your limbs are not that flexible as that of a gymnast and neither do you have the kind of superpowers that Mr. Fantastic, Reed Richards, has. I guess this would mean it is a case of “if you want something done, you have got to do it yourself”, and this is where the $39.99 Cordless Personal Massager comes in handy.

It is said to offer flexible spot-on relief alongside cordless freedom, thanks to the clever use of rechargeable lithium ion batteries within. The Cordless Personal Massager is said to be of the ideal shape, where it is comes with a medical-grade silicone massage head that not only feels smooth but is also soft against your skin. Despite doing its bit to soothe away the day’s aches and pains, it will go about its job in a quiet manner, thanks to an extra quiet and powerful massage motor. You will be able to choose from a quartet of programs – namely Soothe, Pulse Low, Pulse High, Energize, with different intensity levels to boot. Just to make sure that it does its bit to conserve energy whenever possible, the Cordless Personal Massager will shutoff itself automatically after 20 minutes.

White Noise Machine

by Edwin - on May 21, 2013

There is noise, and then there is noise. If you are having troubles trying to control the different kinds of background noises in your life, you can do so with this unique $59.99 White Noise Machine. Yes sir, it is tiny enough for you to tote around for work, regardless of whether you are going to bring it around with you from room to room, or place it on a nightstand, the White Noise Machine will still be able to get the job done in the long run as it lives up to its main purpose of delivering high-quality sound.

With the White Noise Machine, you are able to select from 10 different white noise sound options which will range from lower to higher pitch tones. These could very well be the answer for the insomniacs around you, where it helps you get some shuteye as well as help block out pesky noise from around when dusk falls. Not only that, the White Noise Machine is said to be able to assist with tinnitus therapy, although we do wonder what kind of scientific backing does it come with. A headphone/pillow speaker jack would come across as standard issue, where you can also use the White Noise Machine to work as a speaker for your iPhone or mobile device.

Chili Pad – So your Bed can be “Just Right”

by Julie - on May 21, 2013

I’m sure we’re not the only ones having the “it’s to warm in here” argument at bedtime. It happens a lot, mostly during the summer months, my husband loves the heat and sadly, I hate it! In his defense, in the winter time I like it pretty warm. Of course then he starts complaining, its a no win situation, but suffice it to say I usually win, but only because he’s afraid of me.

Adhere Tech – Message in a Pill Bottle!

by Julie - on May 20, 2013

Sure, I’m at the age where I need to take a pill or two, and I hate it. I’m also not that great at remembering, luckily missing a dose here and there probably wont kill me, but my dad takes some meds that he simply cant miss. I worry, because he forgets too… and even if I could remember everything for him, I don’t have time to be pestering him everyday. How can we all remember to take our medications on time?

Romanian teenager advances self-driving car idea

by Edwin - on May 20, 2013

Ionut Budisteanu of Romania certainly does seem to have a pretty bright future ahead of him, especially after he picked up the top prize at the Intel International Science and Engineering Fair, which so happens to be the largest high school science research competition in the world. This would mean that Ionut Budisteanu managed to earn the Gordon E. Moore Award, in addition to a $75,000 prize that was named in honor of the Intel co-founder and fellow scientist. According to the organizers of the Intel International Science and Engineering Fair, “Their research demonstrates the value of hard work and creative thinking. All the Intel International Science and Engineering Fair finalists here this week show great promise in harnessing the power of science and innovation to solve problems and create opportunity for our global community.” Just what made Ionut’s work so valuable? Well, he manages to address a major global issue by potentially reducing the cost of a self-driving car dramatically, so much so that it could make such technology affordable to the mainstream folks.

Jolla introduces first Sailfish OS smartphone

by Edwin - on May 20, 2013

When it comes to mobile operating systems, this particular market is starting to get a little bit more crowded than usual. First of all, let us list down the two major players where smartphones are concerned, and obviously iOS as well as Google’s Android would pop into your mind, and after that we have Microsoft’s Windows Phone platform that is closely followed by BlackBerrry 10 OS, and the featurephone market will see Symbian taking the chunk of the market share. Does this mean that there is no longer any more room for innovation for the more ambitious around? The correct answer would be a resounding, “No!”, as Jolla from Finland recently announced their maiden attempt at a smartphone which is powered by their very own Sailfish mobile operating system.

Gtech AirRam High-power Cordless Vacuum Cleaner

by Edwin - on May 20, 2013

Are all vacuum cleaners created equal? Apparently not, as you can tell by the $349.95 Gtech AirRam High-power Cordless Vacuum Cleaner. Sure, you might prefer to settle for a more expensive Dyson vacuum cleaner, but not everyone is raking it in, you know? Times are still hard for many, and we all try to manage according to the best of our ability at any given moment. Well, the Gtech AirRam High-power Cordless Vacuum Cleaner works as its name implies, delivering all the suction power required sans the pesky cord.

Each full charge is said to allow the Gtech AirRam High-power Cordless Vacuum Cleaner to run for up to an hour before it finally runs out of juice, and considering its slim 3” profile, it is a snap to tote around, not to mention stash away once you are done with the day’s chores, in addition to making it easier to maneuver around and under furniture since there are no bags or clunky canisters for you to worry about. Your back will thank you too, since it tips the scales at a mere 7.7lbs, and crams all dirt into compact “bales” that are a snap to dispose of. A convenient LED power gauge is thrown into the mix so that you know when it is time to juice it up.
