The Sprinkler Hide-A-Key

January 4th, 2009 by Ally in Garden Gadgets, Home Gadgets

Everyone knows about the cheesy rocks with hidden compartments and the trick of hiding the key underneath the welcome mat.  However, if you’re on the lookout for a solution that won’t be quite so obvious, those two tricks aren’t exactly ideal.  You might go for something a bit more subtle like this Sprinkler-Hide-A-Key.  It will blend in great with your garden as well as the rest of your sprinklers.  Just try not to forget which is the hide-a-key and which is just another sprinkler.

LG Electronics Network Blu-ray disc players get new streaming content partners

January 4th, 2009 by Edwin in Audio/Video Gadgets, Home Gadgets



How’s your Blu-ray player doing at home? Does it see a lot of action, or do you just turn it on whenever guests drop by and are curious as to how High Definition movies look like compared to ordinary DVDs? Well, if you are on the lookout for an LG Blu-ray disc player, then we bring some uplifting news agains the tide of doom and gloom that’s flooding our media every day. LG Electronics has recently announced that it will be expanding its network entertainment options for its Network Blu-ray disc players by forging new alliances with CinemaNow and YouTube, and these options will be made available on new LG Network Blu-ray disc players sometime in the first half of this year to complement LG’s instant streaming from Netflix for the ultimate home entertainment experience.

Arm-Rest Table Pad

January 4th, 2009 by Edwin in Office Gadgets



If your boss is too cheap to buy you a comfortable working chair that has arm rests, letting you sit on a plastic stool all day long, perhaps it is time you considered investing $19.99 in the Arm-Rest Table Pad. The name of the device is pretty much self-explanatory – it was specially designed to attach to most work tables, with the aim to reduce arm fatigue, prevent injuries and save money on medical bills in the long run. Constructed from sturdy metal, you won’t need a single tool to assemble this and comes in handy at both home and the office. Just make sure the table is no thicker than 5cm and you’re good to go. If you need to get this for the office, we doubt that you can claim the $19.99 from the Claims Department either. Find a new employer already!

Ford has new ‘active park assist’ system

January 3rd, 2009 by Edwin in Vehicle Gadgets



How many of you out there who drive hate to perform parallel parking? While it isn’t exactly tough when you have training poles to guide you during a test, to attempt so while you’re on your own is a totally different story especially for beginners and new drivers. Ford understands that not everyone is a natural parallel parker (if there’s such a thing), and has introduced its new Active Park Assist system in its Lincoln MKT and MKS lines. The Active Park Assist will be available in mid-2009 onwards as an option on the 2010 Lincoln MKS sedan and new Lincoln MKT crossover, relying on an ultrasonic-based sensing system while using the Electric Power Assisted Steering (EPAS) to help place the vehicle in an optimal position for parallel parking, all the while calculating the optimal steering angle to quickly steer the vehicle into a parking spot.

Pole Dancing Robot

January 3rd, 2009 by Edwin in Robot Gadgets



Could this actually happen in the future, where people actually find themselves turned on by robots? Perhaps not in the form factor that you see above, where a robotic DJ and a robotic pole dancer (check out the way “she” wiggles her rear end) practise in bringing the house down on a future Saturday night. Well, I suppose when future robots have been properly skinned with something that resembles a hot broad, at least there won’t be any more STDs to worry about. But wait, does this mean mankind won’t bother to procreate any more? Guess this must be the master plan by robots to drive us to extinction.

Apple Rumors fast and furious before MacWorld

January 2nd, 2009 by James in Apple News, Miscellaneous Gadgets

There’s a host of Apple rumors hitting the Net today. Everything from a budding, oversized iPod Touch to the imminent demise of Apple Guru Steve Jobs as being the true reason why no keynote from Cupertino are flying around faster and harder than a rubber ball on a racquet ball court But the question is, do these rumors – which are all too often wrong – make any sense? Let’s take a look.

Broan Elite XE Trash Compactor

January 2nd, 2009 by Mark R in Eco Gadgets, Kitchen Gadgets

Whenever I take out the trash, I find that I usually have too much garbage for my curbside can for the week. I don’t want to accrue more on my garbage bill by overstuffing it, and I am not allowed to compress it. There is even a sign on my curbside can that says “Do not Compress”, which is why I “push down” my trash every week.

However, if I had the Broan Elite XE Trash Compactor, my kitchen trash would be compacted at a ratio of 6 to 1 with 3,000 pounds of force. So not only would I fill my curbside can with a lesser volume of trash, but I would have to take out my trash a lot less. Each 1.5 cubic foot compacted trash bag holds as much as six 13-gallon bags of ordinary trash.

The Canine Treadmill for dog fanatics

January 2nd, 2009 by Ally in Electronic Gadgets

I’m fairly sure I have the most indoor dog that was ever created.  He wants to be outside long enough to do his business and then wants back inside.  Which means the overactive little guy is getting out all of his pent up puppy energy indoors.  That of course can be maddening at times.  So if someone were to state that only a crazy person would buy their dog a treadmill, I would without hesitation agree.  When you have a hyper dog indoors though, frankly, you’re already a bit out of your mind.
