Measuring Pours let get rid of measuring cups

September 10th, 2009 by Ally in Home Gadgets, Kitchen Gadgets

measuringpours2

If you’re one that prefers to keep your measuring precise and very carefully double check it every single time.  It becomes a task that seems to take far longer than it really should.  Well instead of setting down the measuring cup so you can crouch down at eye level to make sure it’s right, you could use these.  They will make it so that you don’t have to do more than make sure you’ve grabbed the right tool and pour.  They will only allow as much as you need to be poured out.

Flashlight Speed Holster holds spare flashlight batteries

September 10th, 2009 by Ally in Miscellaneous Gadgets

TorchHolster_08_640x

We’ve always seen that scene in the horror and thriller flicks where someone drops the flashlight.  It’s of course always followed up by some spooky creature killing them or just scaring them to death.  Now if they had this holster, they might have survived the movie.  It also takes care of when those pesky flashlights die.  It will keep the extra batteries within reach for when the flashlight goes out at a highly inconvenient moment.

Magnet Clock helps you keep track of your day

September 10th, 2009 by Ally in Conceptual Gadgets, Cool Clocks, Home Gadgets, Kitchen Gadgets

Magnet-Clock

Everyone has things that they enjoy putting on the fridge.  Be it school pictures or just random funny magnets, we all have our preferences.  Well with this you could even have a clock on your fridge that you can map out your day with.  It doesn’t itemize every little thing, but it does have little stick figure men that will illustrate each task you have ahead of you.  It does so in such a humorous way that even the most obnoxious tasks will give you a little laugh.

Turtle Beach Ear Force W3

September 10th, 2009 by Mark R in Gaming Gadgets

turtle-beach-ear-force-w3-20070517052820472-000It’s been quite a while since we report on anything from Turtle Beach. This is a real shame, because the company is putting out a lot of gaming headphones that really helps gamers shut out the rest of the world.

Now, you may think shutting out the rest of the world isn’t healthy, but you should try living in it once in a while. Seriously, the Ear Force series is an excellent collection of padded earphones for gamers, and I had a chance to try many of their models out in person when I was at the Penny Arcade Expo last weekend. (Yeah, I have been mentioning that a lot lately.)

The W3 is designed for the Wii. At least, it seems to be the only one from Turtle Beach that works well with the Wii. It also works with the Xbox 360, Playstation 3, and PS2. The W3 has a behind the neck design and is ergonomically designed to stay on.

Solar Power from Human Hair?

September 10th, 2009 by Mark R in Conceptual Gadgets, Eco Gadgets

solar-hairOne of the problems with getting energy in developing countries is where to get it from. Some have resorted to silicon solar panels, but Milan Karki has found a simpler form of solar power that uses human hair instead of silicon.

That’s right, I said human hair. Renewable energy is possible with something that everyone but Lex Luthor has. The secret is in Melanin, the pigment in hair that makes color, and its electrical conductive qualities are the secret to hair solar power.

Xbox 360 Controller from Carl Archambeault

September 10th, 2009 by Mark R in Conceptual Gadgets, Gaming Gadgets

264513_YizGpvXPJwLjNxsfCkpxEMDHqI’m not certain if you can read the small print on the photo to the left, but it says “Project was to design a handheld gaming device that would combine the gaming power of the Xbox 360 and the music and video power of the Microsoft Zune”.

This was the vision of Carl Archambeault when he designed this controller with a slide out screen. This Xbox 1080 is a prototype that has a slide-out LCD screen. I am assuming that you get 1080 quality, but doesn’t the Zune HD have only 720p? Oh, wait, maybe it is called that because it is three times better than that pesky Xbox 360.

I believe that the purpose of this is to be some new type of portable video gaming system, but I thought this was some homage to the Sega Dreamcast, that system that celebrated its 10th anniversary yesterday.

Nautiz X7 PDA is super tough

September 10th, 2009 by Edwin in Electronic Gadgets

nautiz-x7Not many people use PDAs these days considering the archaic nature of the device, but selected industries and lines of work still require such a device, but ordinary builds won’t be able to last in those environments. The ultra-rugged Nautiz X7 PDA fits the bill though, as this IP67 rated Nautiz X7 is no slouch when it comes to performance, offering a speedy 806MHz processor that is powered by Microsoft Windows Mobile 6.1 operating system while accompanied by the following features :-

  • 3G cellular phone capability
  • 3-megapixel camera with autofocus and flash
  • Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity
  • 4GB internal memory
  • 128MB RAM
  • Full VGA resolution touchscreen display
  • GPS support
  • Digital compass
  • Altimeter
  • G-sensor

It complies with the IP67-rating and passes full MIL-STD-810F testing, making it impervious to drops from 1.2 meters while working just fine within a temperature range from -30 degrees C to 60 degrees C. No idea on pricing for this puppy though.
