LEGO Sort and Store

by Edwin - on October 11, 2011

Forget about IKEA’s storage solutions for once – if you’re a huge fan of the LEGO franchise with its bricks that perfectly fit into one another at the correct grooves thanks to the wonders of modern engineering, then you would also need a place to stash away all those rogue LEGO bricks. We’re talking about the $44.99 LEGO Sort and Store, where it measures a rather cavernous 12″ tall and 10″ wide. Parents who want their kids to clean up their LEGO pieces once they’re done with playtime and have failed to convince them all this while might want to approach the situation from a different angle, using the LEGO Sort and Store as an incentive.

This is basically a minifig head made of sturdy yellow plastic, and opening it up will let you perform a ‘magic’ trick as it is capable of sorting up different size LEGO bricks into separate compartments. Don’t believe me? Just throw in a bunch of LEGO bricks into the top, close and shake it up – all small, medium, and large pieces will then be sorted into separate compartments.

Logitech Wireless Headset syncs with Bluetooth

by Mark R - on October 10, 2011

I seem to be reviewing a lot of Bluetooth Wireless headsets lately. There was the Jabra SPORT as well as the NuForce BT-860, and I notice that there isn’t much to say about them other than the fact that they are wireless.

I will have to admit that the Logitech’s seems to ignore the traditional black for white. It also has a nice noise-cancelling microphone that reduces background noise and can detect a whisper. The microphone can rotate upward into the headphones for something more compact.

While we are on the subject of compact, I will say that these headphones can fold up like sunglasses. It also has an adjustable headband.

SMELLIT could bring odors to your favorite games

by Mark R - on October 10, 2011

Is there anything that could be more appropriate to bring back than smell-o-vision? Considering that 3D is helping bringing people back into the theaters, why not this fad?

Right now, there is a French company called Olf-Action (“Olf” for olfactory) which makes Odorvision, which can somehow emit scents through these jet engines.

Olf-Action wants to target these SMELLIT devices not for theaters but for home theaters and video games. As you can see in the picture, God of War is going to look pretty spectacular when you can sniff it.

We have reported on a lot solar-powered chargers here on Coolest-Gadgets, most recently the Eton Mobius.

Case-Mate caters for iPhone 4S

by Edwin - on October 10, 2011

The iPhone 4S was announced only last week – but that doesn’t mean third party accessory manufacturers have gotten the memo. No sir, it seems that they were already informed of the latest iteration of the smartphone much earlier and given insider information on the dimensions, otherwise who else would they be able to churn out milimeter perfect cases to protect your soon-to-be shiny new smartphone? Case-Mate, one of the more famous names around that rolls out innovative accessories for mobile devices, has their collection of iPhone 4S cases for purchase already.

Customers are able to select from seven Case-Mate favorites in order to provide the right kind of protection for their new devices, where it will comprise of eye-catching colors as well as design-forward textures.

G-Clip Compact 4-in-1 Golf Tool

by Edwin - on October 10, 2011

Golfers have their fair share of gadgets too, you know, although the selection might be rather limited compared to a true blue geek. Well, if you are only allowed to purchase 3 gadgets for your golf hobby, then perhaps the £14.99 G-Clip Compact 4-in-1 Golf Tool should be made compulsory, never mind that it is relatively affordable. Not everything that is expensive is good and vice versa. After all, when 9 out of 10 PGA Tour Partners Members would recommend it, you know for sure that this is going to be one impressive gizmo. Just what do you do with it though?

For starters, this highly portable device comes with a built-in magnet that will hold your place markers, while a stainless steel divot tool will help repair and aerate greens. Not only that, it also doubles up as a club rest so that your grips remain dry, now how about that? A sprung holder is able to hold a couple of thick or thin tees of any length, while molded Velcro will securely hold your loose glove. Not only that, it will attach in a jiffy to your belt or waistband, being easily accessible whenever you need it.

Considering the fact that it tips the scales at a mere 1oz (28g), this seems to be the perfect gift for dad if he has made mom a golf widow. Perhaps it might just prove to be the tipping point for him to play more golf than he would want to, turning away from the game completely after that.

Drinking Extinguisher quenches your thirst

by Edwin - on October 10, 2011

I realized something very true at the dinner table – no matter what kind of delicacies I shove down by throat as well as the array of drinks that slide down smoothly, nothing beats clean, cold water. There is just a refreshing feel to it, especially when so much of today’s food contain MSG that tends to induce thirst afterwards. Well, if you’re going to make sure the fire in your mouth is put out because you had one too many jalapenos in your pizza, how about doing it in style with the £17.99 Drinking Extinguisher?

Bear in mind that this is meant for drinking only and not to put out any fire in the vicinity – that would call for an actual fire extinguisher. Of course, this might also mislead the uninformed and clueless that it is OK to drink out of fire extinguishers, so make sure you influence those around you the right way. This drinking vessel seems to be the perfect thing to have around parties, and it will definitely put you on the cool list even amongst strangers. Each Drinking Extinguisher can hold up to 1500CC of life saving water – or your favorite poison, of course.

Norton Anti-Theft lets you lock down stolen or lost notebook

by Edwin - on October 10, 2011

I remember the sinking feeling I had a couple of years ago when upon returning home and opening up my car’s trunk, I realized that my notebook was stolen. Not only that, this happened while I had dinner, and raced all the way back to the crime scene but the chances of recovering my stolen notebook is as high as that of the world ending next year. Having made a police report, my hope turned into a flicker and died out as I became another statistic.

Man, if only the Norton Anti-Theft Web service was available back then, where it allows one to remotely lock, locate and recover a lost or stolen Windows powered notebook, or to keep up with modern times, an Android powered smartphone or tablet. Norton Anti-Theft supports the Norton Everywhere initiative, which would further extend Norton’s security expertise and technologies to protect consumers no matter where they are regardless of device or platform.
