Get yourself an A/V receiver for a 1,000 dollars; it will provide you with all that you need for playing everything iPod, game console, and even cameras. I know the perfect result of the Digital Revolution is that it should in some or the other way, be able to be played on that big mammoth TV that stays in front of that LazyBoy. But what if you don’t have a grand to spend on those receivers? Well, then it’s just hell in the living room with so many cables, so many gadgets, and so many TV adapters for them, phew. (more…)

Gosh, we’ve seen so many wake up concepts, that it seems better to just time your body to being up at a certain time each morning, than leaving yourself in the hands of technological mongrels. But maybe. this concept that we have here is something refreshing and totally with the times. Talk about networking, and everyone has an opinion on it. Oh the age of facebook and myspace have quite revolutionised the way people keep in touch, so why not put it to some good use too? For example, the site that we have here, sleep.fm lets your networking buddies wake u up each morning with an audio track or well, (more…)

Since the 1st of December, I could feel the cold wind Christmas season brings. I have to take a hot shower, wear thicker clothes, not use the air-con, and wear a pair of socks while sleeping! And it’s not even snowing. Not that we have snow in my side of the world..it’s just freezing. So I bet the Soothing Herbal Heat Slippers will be ideal when I want comfortable warmth.

At first glance you’d think it’s a pair of baby shoes but this one’s for adults. The slippers come with removable herbal insert that can be stored inside a microwave when you want heat or the freezer when you need a little cold therapy. The slippers are made of sherpa fleece and has polyester soles that are non-slip. (more…)

Now, there have been many fake versions of the iPhone and the iPod circulating in the black market. I’ve also seen fake Nokia N95s so a clone of the new generation stubby iPod Nano did not surprise me at all. I just wonder why people won’t just buy the real thing. Price perhaps is the biggest factor but with this Nano, I say, the added camera feature explains it.

Steve Job’s Apple hasn’t really been generous with the trigger happy cam whores because iPods still have no cameras to boot. And so the M2406MP4 player is a cheaper alternative. It comes with 2.4 inch video screen, 2.0MP camera, built in speaker that iPods still don’t have, and guess what—a Mini SD slot. iPod Nano okays AVI video format as well as MP3,WMA,WMV, and WAV audio files.

Oh no, another pink gadget but this one I particularly like. Seriously, I can forget about buying an iPod Touch to replace my 3 year old iPod Mini which I name Polly. And besides, I don’t get to listen to the thousands of songs I store so I guess this 2 GB model would be enough. Innoman was fortunate to have been given by Mattel, Barbie’s home, to produce a girly music player. Called ‘B2′, this player features an ‘L-type touch screen’ and 1.1 inch OLED.Aside from MP3 playback, the B2 also comes with FM radio, image viewer, and voice recorder.

Blinged products are in. Well, not exactly…but there is a market for anything pink, gold, and studded. Every week, a new item is added to the list of blinged up gadgets in the world. Now comes the Gold iPod Touch from the Golden Store. Not that it’s a more surprising news. The gadget girls and the rest of the world are just waiting for a gold version to be released.

No Apple iPod Touch features were added to this model, only it was plated in 24 karat Gold. Obviously, the price for the 8 GB and 16 GB models are far from Steve Job’s suggested retail price. The 8GB is available for 600 Euro, that’s a little less than $900 while the higher model costs 800 Euro($1,180).

Are there people really buying golden gadgets? I have yet to see someone carrying one and attracting thieves.

Okay so we’ve seen some wonders happening with technology, and tech has all but made life simpler and simpler for the movie-makers. Looks like they’re in for some more good surprises though. What we have here is a unique technology by computer graphics researchers Volker Scholz and Marcus Magnor designed to enable you to swap out textures on clothing. Hold on. It’s not technically as easy as it sounds. The texture replacement technology uses a complex algorithm which encodes the coordinates of textures in a sampled video sequence, (more…)

Setting apart the iPod from other MP3 players is perhaps its inability not to inter-share with other music players or computers. You need to have iTunes to play and while extracting the audio file you like is now possible with programs like Senuti , every one will agree that an iPod to iPod transfer will be perfect. Now comes the miShare, a really small gadget that allows audiophiles like you and me to share files, MP3s, videos, photos, and playlists. (more…)
