I am still a kid at heart, and love to kick back and have a good time now and again. I’m also a big fan of electronic toys, especially of the remote controlled variety. You can’t even imagine how excited I was when I heard of the remote control fishing boats.  RC boats are a blast on their own, but now you can actually use them for fishing!

Fish Fun, located in Michigan offers many different exciting RC fishing boats to choose from, such as the extremely popular “Radio Ranger RC fishing boat,” their largest offering at almost 3 feet in length. With a range of 300-400 feet and a top speed of around 20mph, the Radio Ranger is clearly not your typical toy – in fact it’s powerful 390 motors make it more than capable of reeling in your catch.

Porsche Design Phone Luxury Gadget – Luxcellphone

You can get away with a lot if you’re beautiful. Such is the case with the new Porsche Design P’9522 phone. In some ways, it’s a wonderful and capable cellphone, but in most others, it’s dumber than the gorgeous block of aluminum it was machined from.

Looking at the specs, we were hopeful that this touchscreen-enabled beauty would be one hell of a handset. First off, it’s packed full of radios: In addition to its quad-band cellular connectivity, it flaunts the Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and GPS that are now pretty much de rigeur on a cellular device of this ilk. It also has an FM receiver – a nice touch that most companies (except Nokia) choose to omit. We think they shouldn’t.

But what can you do with all those radios? Better hope you’re a talker. Even though the phone comes pre-loaded with the very decent Opera Mini Porsche Phone browser, its 3-G range is limited to the Old Country (read: Europe). Even if you’re in a Wi-Fi hotspot, you’d be better off mugging some blogger for his MacBook than surfing the web using the horribly inaccurate touchscreen and knife-thin keys. And that touchscreen luxury phones? It’s worse than any other touch-sensitive display we’ve ever used. You can’t tap an item in a list – you have to scroll to it. Just like the phone’s automotive namesake, the highlighting bar goes waaaay too fast, almost always passing the option you want. Really, even the vivid colors on the 2.8-inch, energy-efficient AMOLED screen don’t help the browser’s case.

Now we know some of you are thinking: “That’s fine; I don’t really surf the web on my phone anyway. All I need a cellphone for is to keep in touch.” Fine, Mr. Luddite: We hear you, but we hope that “keep in touch” doesn’t include e-mail – an absent feature that had us trying to mar the Porsche phone’s scratchproof screen with claws of rage. Unfortunately, that screen is tough, so the P’9522 will keep on being lauded and drooled over – despite our many gripes with it.

WIRED Gorgeous. Touchscreen interface is easy to understand, if limited and frustrating. Pre-loaded ringtones include the roaring engines of the 911 GT3 and Turbo. 5-megapixel camera has auto-focus and captures clean, vivid images. LED flash doubles as a flashlight. Unlocking the vertu phone with its fingerprint scanner is very MI5.

TIRED Fingerprint scanner is also very POS: Who thought it would be a good idea to use fingerprints to access a device you’re likely holding in one hand while juggling multiple other tasks? Preloaded ringtones include bad German techno. Touchscreen is deeply frustrating. Seriously – no e-mail?

The Amazing 3Dtv

Ladies and gentleman, it’s 2010 and also the 3D Tv revolution has arrived. We spent the much from the last decade talking about Plasma Television, LCD Television, and HDTVs but those talks are fast getting close to their expiry date. The 2nd decade in the second millennium is going to be all about the 3-D Television set. If you’ve been living under a rock for that past few months, and haven’t been following the out-of-this-world-buzz that 3-D TVs are generating, then let me catch you up on the whole affair. In 1844 a man by the name of David Brewster devised stereoscope – that was the birth of 3D imagery as we be aware of it. However today\’s world have all but removed involvement in the format as content was scarce as well as the colored glasses needed to appreciate the 3-D experience became more of a burden than a useful tool. That is until today, as well as the recent technological breakthroughs made by the top Tv set manufacturers to bring true 3-D Television set viewing experience in the centre of the lounge room.

Which Camcorder is Best for Surveillance?

To View all figures/charts/illustrations referenced in this article, click here.

Abstract

Looking for a digital camcorder for use in performing surveillance? Well, technology improvements in CCD and CMOS image sensors as well as the introduction of new high definition display and recording formats have certainly resulted in the introduction of lots of different digital camcorder models. Because of the wide variation in features and price points, it’s more difficult than ever to select the optimal digital camcorder. Certainly, some models will be better than others in consideration of the specific application for which the camcorder is intended and the features that are required. Because there are so many factors involved in making a selection and since new models are frequently introduced, it’s best to provide guidelines useful when evaluating models intended for a specific application. Then, as new models become available, they can be compared to existing models based on the same guidelines. Read the rest of this entry »

Sprinklers are always great fun, sure they have their practical uses, but that’s not where their usefulness ends.  On a treacherously hot day you can always go out with the kids and play in the sprinkler, should you not be blessed with a nearby pool.  Of course these sprinklers add a little more fun to the mix, these have bright lights that will change colors throughout the night.

Instead of getting your normal desk light, change things up and illuminate your desk with a picture of a desk lamp.  Although this looks like nothing more than a strange canvas with nothing more than a desk light, the light is an actual working light.  With the bright white canvas, you could even pass it off as modern art.

The materials for this whole project included a printed poster and a bright LED light.  These were originally only made as a group of 50 and it sounded as if it’d be limited to that amount.  Well the first round is sold out and they’re making a second bunch that are scheduled to be delivered on June 18th.  There are very few available and sadly one of these prints will cost you $195.
