One look at the Toshiba Journe Touch and chances are you would lust after it, even though you know that you don’t really have any use for the Journe Touch in a practical manner any time soon. The Journe Touch is, in essence, a Mobile Internet Device that features a multimedia touchscreen for easy navigation of its software and programs within, and with 7″ of viewing (and touching) real estate, you won’t go blind anytime soon while viewing the icons and text within. Powered by an advanced version of Windows CE 6.0, the Journe touch targets consumers who want to have access to multimedia content and social networking platforms at their fingertips – sounds pretty much like an iPhone to us, but the bright side is, this is much larger than Apple’s smartphone and probably packs more of a punch.

This seemed like it might be a good idea at first glance.  After all, feet slipping off of your bike pedals is obnoxious.  Especially when you’re attempting to get a faster time, your feet slipping is often going to slow you down.  Therefore these pedals having magnets built into them that keep your feet fused to the pedal would most definitely help out the situation.  However, what’s going to make most people pause and rethink things is how much it’s going to cost to keep your feet on your bicycle pedals.

Yoostar in your favourite movies

Yoostar is a gadget that lets you edit famous scenes from movies so that you can replace the big Hollywood actor and maybe do a better job. The Yoostar comes with a webcam with integrated microphone, which it claims to be studio grade, so hopefully won’t make your rendition of the famous Godfather speech as jerky as stop motion animation and as fuzzy as a hamster with a blow dry. You also get a 6 foot by 6 foot green screen to film in front of and all the software needed to actually make the videos.

“You’re a 21st century music lover but your stereo is stuck in the 20th century.” That is the opening that our Logitech friends gave on their Press Release for the Squeezebox Radio and Squeezbox Touch, two Wi-Fi enabled devices designed for playing music.

The Squeezebox Radio is designed to be simple, also syncing with the user’s home network for Internet radio and personal music collections of DRM-free iTunes. Users can also play subscription based services like Napster, Pandora, Rhapsody, SIRIUS, and Last.fm.

ValueRays isn’t the first company in the world to have the best interest of your hands at heart, although they do offer something unorthodox for those who are chained to their cubicles all day long. The produces on offer include a Warm Mouse, Warm Keyboard, USB Infrared Heaters, Hand Warmers and a Heated Mouse for Mouse Hand Pain.

Our USB hand warmers are infrared heaters and provide “infrared heat” therapy for computer users with hand pain and cold hands. ValueRays USB infrared heated warm mouse, heated mousepad, heated keyboard pad and Mouse Hand Warmer provide deep healing infrared heat for the cold mouse hand and cold keyboard hands. ValueRays USB Hand Warmers provide a healthy way to use the computer! Make the computer work for you, not harm you! Reduce stress. Improve circulation. Keep warm!

The use of infrared heat apparently penetrates deep through the skin’s layers to the muscle tissue, helping relieve tension and stress while improving overall blood circulation as well. This further heals and reduces the risk of computer-related hand injuries such as RSI, CTD and CTS. We wonder whether you can work this into your office budget for next year. Anyone used something like this before, and what are the results?
