Dr Who Tardis USB 4 Port Hub

by Edwin - on May 17, 2013

Are all USB hubs created equal? The correct answer would be, “No”, and a resounding one at that, too. After all, hardcore Dr Who fans might even start to fantasize that the £22.95 Dr Who Tardis USB 4 Port Hub which they see here is able to send them into a time warp, but even if to their great disappointment that it does not, at least you have a quartet of USB ports available for you to plug in a plethora of other devices into your PC or Mac, as and when required.

If you do not want to start off the work week on a dull note, then the Dr Who Tardis USB 4 Port Hub is your cup of tea (or coffee), as each time you plug it in, the lantern at the top will flash, alongside the classic time travelling sound effects. Needless to say, just in case the rest of your colleagues get jealous of the latest toy at the office, you can always turn off the special sound effect to annoy them less. Definitely more than capable of brightening up any work space for sure.

by Edwin - on May 17, 2013

Swiss peripherals manufacturer Logitech is not a company that shies away from the spotlight. In fact, they have just announced that they will be, yet again, the official sponsor of the League of Legends Season Three Championship Series by offering their range of mice and keyboards for all of those involved.

Bluetooth BBQ Thermometer

by Edwin - on May 16, 2013

They say that cooking is an art, and for those of us who happen to burn the pot while one is boiling water, it goes without saying the kitchen is a whole lot better off without you in it. The thing is, you have this passion to tinker around the kitchen much to the chagrin of everyone else living under the same roof as you, but thank goodness technology has progressed to such a stage where it is able to help out even the most clueless of chefs. Case in point, BBQs are fun, but it is an art to know whether that slab of meat, or row of sausages are well cooked right to the inside. Enter the $79.99 Bluetooth BBQ Thermometer to help you get the job done.

With the Bluetooth BBQ Thermometer, no longer do you need to hang around a hot grill in order to check on the temperature of the food being cooked constantly, leaving you time and opportunity to chat up that sweet young thing whom you have had your eyes on for the longest time already. The Bluetooth BBQ Thermometer would come across as a grilling, cooking, smoking thermometer, where it will work in tandem with an app on your iOS-powered device, or other compatible smartphones. A dual temperature probe will monitor a couple of different meats simultaneously, even up to 200 feet away, and will alert you the moment your food has reached the temperature you set on the base station.

Single Handed Barber

by Edwin - on May 16, 2013

You are a definite man’s man, and you absolutely loathe having to ask for help from different people during your moments of weakness. In fact, you live by the motto that “if you want something done right, then do it yourself”, so much so that you do not even trust the local barber to get your hair cut, preferring instead to do it yourself. If that is the case, then the $59.95 Single Handed Barber might be your cup of tea, as this electric hair trimmer is said to be able to cut evenly in any direction, allowing you to maintain your own closely cropped, clean-cut hairstyle without having to fork out more money for the barber.

In fact, the Single Handed Barber has been touted to be so easy to use as though you are combing your hair. Amazing, isn’t it? Just how is that possible? Well, the circular trimmer’s rotary cutting system and razor-sharp stainless steel blades will cut into your hair as the unit is moved circularly through your head, as it gently accommodates the contours of your pate. There will be a couple of attachments cut hair to four different lengths (1/8″, 1/4″, 3/8″, or 1/2″), and thanks to an ergonomic design, it will be able to fit nicely in the palm of your hand for a more precise control. Hammacher claims the rechargeable battery can deliver a quartet of five-minute hair cuts after a 16-hour charge, or you can plug it directly into the power outlet for extended preening sessions.

HP SlateBook x2 brings more power to the Android ecosystem

by Edwin - on May 16, 2013

So we took a gander at the HP Split x2 hybrid notebook earlier this morning, but is that the only device that was recently announced by HP? Not quite, as the other rabbit that HP pulled out from their hat is the HP SlateBook x2, although this puppy does not have anything to do with the Windows 8 operating system, but prefers to jive with Google’s Android mobile operating system instead. So, how does the HP SlateBook x2 stack up against the rest of the Android-powered tablets in the market? It would be interesting to see how, but we will have to wait until later this August as that is when the HP SlateBook x2 will be released in the US for $479.99 a pop.

HP Split x2 hybrid notebook

by Edwin - on May 16, 2013

What do you think of hybrids? Most of the time, hybrids deliver the best of both worlds. Some of the most famous fictional hybrids would include Blade the vampire hunter, where he has all the strengths of a vampire with little of their weaknesses, as they call him the Daywalker. Having said that, if you were a piece of consumer electronics – most notably a tablet, would you wish you were a notebook instead, and vice versa? Why not enjoy the best of both worlds with what HP has managed to come up in the form of the HP Split x2, which so happens to be a two-in-one detachable notebook that merges the power as well as portability of a tablet and notebook, running on Windows 8 as the operating system of choice.

Envelope X-ray Spray – Better than a Superpower?

by Julie - on May 15, 2013

I have grown up a lot in the last several years. I’ve become much more secure and trusting. I mean, I would never be caught dead steaming open a personal letter clearly addressed to my husband, even if it was obviously written by a woman and smelled faintly of perfume. I can’t imagine anyone ever stooping so low… Continue reading » Envelope X-ray Spray – Better than a Superpower?
