Children’s Configurable Fort
There is nothing quite like the imagination of a child to maximize something as simple as a cardboard box, where he or she turns it into a plane, a submarine, a race car, or even a fort. Well, sometimes you might want to encourage even more creative thinking through treats here and there, and I don’t suppose you can go wrong with the $199.95 Children’s Configurable Fort? Yes sir, this building set will allow your kids to explore their construction skills as they work on tunnels, mazes and forts in different configurations.
Small hands are adequate to snap the panels together, where they can create lengths of wall or wrap-around enclosures. With a total of 46 brightly-colored rigid panels to choose from, they can be reinforced by joint attachment clips which will secure the panels in 90° or 180° segments to make sure that such constructions remain standing even during some rough and tumble play sessions. To put it away, the panels will separate quickly, and can be stacked flat ala Ikea style, stashed away into a carrying case.
Something tells me that this with bunch of Nerf guns would make for an unforgettable afternoon playtime.
Kobo Vox introduced
Kobo has launched what they deem to be the world’s first social e-book reader device in the form of the Kobo Vox – and to know just what kind of device this is, we will look at it in closer detail right after this. Already supporting more than 5 million users worldwide, the new Kobo Vox e-book reader was inspired by “Vox Populi”, which means the voice of the people. I guess you can more or less figure out the direction where the Kobo Vox is heading – it basically wants to empower readers to begin conversations with other readers in their journey of discovering new books and authors via their respective social networks.
In order to keep up with the times, good implementation of software and apps need to be accompanied by hardware that is relevant, and the Kobo Vox certainly epitomizes that thanks to a vivid color display, so that the digital reading experience is taken to a totally new level with additional content to keep you entertained and stoked all the time, ranging from rich color books to newspapers, magazines, games, music, video, games and social feeds, all working on an open Android platform.

Samsung SSD 830 Series ready to rock and roll
When it comes to storage on your notebook or netbook, we tend to see SSDs take priority these days instead of hard drives simply because the cost has started to come down, although dollar-for-gigabyte, the hard drive still wins hands down. Still, that does not detract from the fact that the advantages of an SSD as well as other forms of flash memory are there to experience and enjoy, including not having to worry too much about knocks and shocks, as well as being slimmer and more stable than your standard hard drive.
Samsung decided to release their SSD 830 Series that is said to deliver double the data bandwidth compared to its previous product, the SSD 470, to the masses. This particular SSD will make use of the SATA (Serial Advanced Technology Attachment) interface that delivers up to 6Gb/s (Giga bit per second) of data transfer each second, placing this under the self-proclaimed ultra high-speed SSD category by Samsung. Depending on the size of your budget as well as amount of data that you need to store, the Samsung SSD 830 Series will come in 64GB, 128GB, 256GB and 512GB capacities.

In the future, you can walk on a Passing Cloud
At some point in time, I think we all thought the sky would be full of airships, sort of like the alternate reality seen on the television show Fringe.
This is concept known as Passing Cloud, and it is a stainless steel structure that can support spherical nylon balloons that link together to form a bubble cluster cloud. It floats up, and people take a literal walk on the clouds.
From the CG picture that I see here, it looks like there is some sort of wall to make certain the passengers don’t fall off. I’m guessing that it is similar to the wall around heaven.

Lytro introduces Camera 3.0
If you aren’t familiar with Camera 3.0, think of it this way: Camera 1.0 would be film, Camera 2.0 is digital photography, and this Lytro camera that you see in the picture would be the third version of photography.
In case you are wondering, these Lytro cameras are not the small size of lipsticks that it would appear. The actual measurements are 4.4 inches and 1.6 inches square.
These Lytro cameras could re-define “point and shoot”. On one end is the lens, and another with an LCD touchscreen display. There are some power and shutter buttons, but no other buttons, lenses, scroll wheels, and knobs. The purpose of this Lytro is so users can take pictures and adjust them afterword.

Take a 360-Degree Panoramic Photo with the Camera Ball
What you are seeing here is not some spherical shaped Rubik’s Cube, but you are right in assuming that those glass circles are cameras. It has 36 cellular phone camera sensors in all, and the green pieces around it are Nerf-like foam.
This is the camera ball, designed by Jonas Pfeil, and its purpose is to take 360-degree panoramic pictures. The user tosses the ball in the air, and it takes a picture when the ball is in apogee (the point where the ball is stationary at the top of its throwing arc).
As you can see in the video, the camera ball can take some pretty impressive pictures in the right surroundings. You will note that some of the video shots look a little like something like the bullet time of the Matrix. I honestly hope that the user has the ability to do that.

Star Trek Enterprise Light-Up Feeding System
You grew up watching Star Trek on your TV, and did keep your fingers crossed that one day, you will be able to pass on the love for the sci-fi franchise down to your next generation. Well, now that you’re married and all with a kid in tow, here’s your chance. Inculcate the early doctrines of Star Trek through subtle use of items around your kid, such as the $24.99 Star Trek Enterprise Light-Up Feeding System.
After all, feeding a toddler is not an easy taks, as he/she tends to be extremely distracted, and sometimes when you’re tired, you do not want a lengthy feeding session since there are still a thousand and one other chores to finish up. Not with the Star Trek Enterprise Light-Up Feeding System in tow though, since it will definitely capture the attention of your geekling, and guide all the food straight to his/her mouth without any problem. Batteries in the in plane are replaceable, although the ones in the bib are not.
T-Shirt Folder makes it a snap
The traditional roles at home have become somewhat intertwined – husbands these days also do the cooking and cleaning, while wives might have a hand at repairing that irritating leak. Still, when it comes to folding shirts, guys seem to have it tougher – it is as though something inside the brain cannot click to come up with perfectly folded clothes that are even on all sides. Nice to know that there is a gadget to address this issue in the form of the £14.99 T-Shirt Folder.
The name says it all, doesn’t it? Instead of spending time without any help to gain experience in folding clothes neatly, you can take shortcuts (some call it efficiency) with this unique device of sorts. Place the T-Shirt Folder (which is actually a plastic mat) on a table or any other flat surface where you are comfortable to work on, lay a loose T-shirt on top, and fold away. All the grooves on the T-Shirt Folder will allow you to flip both sides of your T-shirt inwards, one after the other.
The final and third fold will bring the base of your T-shirt in line with the neck, and you’re good to go – all in a neat and tidy package. If you want to stash away the T-Shirt Folder, it is easily foldable as well.
