Hot Boots keep your feet warm
They say that the best way to get a good rest at night would be to keep your feet warm and your head cool, and since winter is going to descend upon us soon for those of us living in the northern hemisphere, it makes perfect sense to get ready for the situation – and by wearing a pair of boots too, don’t you think so? This is where the £16.99 Hot Boots come in handy, where they are perfect for you to walk around your home, especially if your pad is not carpeted in any way but instead have cold, cold concrete everywhere. Best of all is, this pair of gizmos, so to speak, need no battery power – all you have to do is pop them into your microwave oven for a couple of minutes and toasty feet are at your disposal.
Of course, I am rather turned off by the idea of putting footwear in the microwave considering there are other types of food that we cook in the same piece of equipment. Doesn’t make that much sense, no? After all, would you want a literal mud-covered chocolate muffin, or bacteria from the toilet roaming around inside your microwave? At least you can be rather fashion forward with Dark Brown and Light Brown to choose from.
Dryer Vent Alarm
Lint – the bane of everyone who does laundry. If enough lint builds up in the dryer vent, and nothing is being done about it, then we’re talking about a serious fire hazard here. Good thing there are gizmos out there like the $59.95 Dryer Vent Alarm that will help the more absent minded among us ensure the dryer vent is always free of lint. In fact, according to the Consumer Products Safety Commission, up to 15,000 clothes dryer catch fire each year simply because no one bothered to clear up the amount of lint there.
This device will be able to detect increased air pressure that are symptomatic of a clogged vent. This particular sensor probe can be easily installed by hand into the dryer transition hose, where it will get to work right away by monitoring the dryer’s efficiency, calculating just the right amount of blockage as well as its change (obviously an increasing figure) over time. Should a potentially hazardrous situation be detected, the 90dB alarm will sound continuously until you press the reset button – and to do that, you’d have to personally come down to the dryer, so cast away that procrastination attitude and clear out your dryer vent in the process.
SteelSeries and Gunnar Optiks team up for SteelSeries Desmo
So we know that SteelSeries is very serious about delivering quality gaming hardware to the masses with their collection of mice and keyboards in the past, but perhaps there is a new market for the hardware company to expand their business? I guess they figured out the niche market of gaming eyewear worth looking into, having worked with Gunnar Optiks to deliver the SteelSeries Desmo.
Yes sir, this particular range of eyewear was specially designed for competitive gamers not only to make them look good (I assure you, that is just a secondary byproduct of their objective), but will also help improve visual efficiency, endurance, and recovery during gaming sessions. You can opt from either one of two color options – Desmo Onyx or the limited edition Desmo Snow that sports a semi-rimless design.

SteelSeries is back again with World of Warcraft MMO Gaming Mouse: Legendary Edition
If you’re going to walk over to the sales counter the next time you drop by a computer store (which is reasonably well stocked, I would assume) and pick up a gaming mouse, make sure you take a nice, long breath. This will of course, apply only to those who want to pick up the SteelSeries World of Warcraft MMO Gaming Mouse: Legendary Edition. Don’t you think that that is a mouthful to speak? Heck, my fingers groan at the thought of typing it out in full, thank the heavens for Ctrl + C!

This custom peripheral is set to be a boon for World of Warcraft players, where this finely crafted “weapon” of precision intends to achieve a balance of style and function in a single piece of hardware.

Angry Birds get their own (unofficial) tablet
You know that a particular idea has reached mainstream consciousness when it gets printed and sold in all sorts of places and manner – and Rovio’s Angry Birds certainly embodies such an idea. You have an unofficial Angry Bird park in China, and where else but China can you find an Angry Birds tablet which is obviously powered by Google’s Android operating system.
This is actually based on the latest Wopad V7 tablet that will run on a Cortex A8 processor with a 7″ touchscreen display, boasting the ability to handle 1080p video played from internal memory or from the Web thanks to the use of Adobe Flash. In fact, this tablet will ship with the Angry Birds “Match the Bird” game as well as Angry Birds Seasons pre-installed already, saving you time from downloading it on to the tablet. Other parts of the 4GB of internal memory will also be used to hold different Angry Birds applications and wallpapers.
Other hardware specifications include a front-facing camera, HDMI out, USB connectivity, and 512MB RAM. No idea on pricing though.
