We trailed the white version of the product and it looks and feel quite classy, the product is also available in a total of seven different colours, so it’s really take your pick.

The power adapter cord is quite versatile in its use; covering a range of new products including the latest apple attachment.

Within having the product just for a few days it really did come in handy and quite the saviour.

While being on the trip home from the office sitting on the train with my addiction to candy crush at max resolution and brightness and forgetting to charge up, smartcharger came to its first use.

The smart charger supported carry on use of the handset while continuing to give a steady charge to the device.

Overall the smartcharger does the job its designed to do while offering consumers great value for money.

The best bot for creating mixtapes and personalised gifts

by 5 Comments

MAKERBOT MIXTAPE   – The MakerBot Mixtape is obviously designed for, well, makers of mixtapes or music , but they’ve got an option for everyone, uou dont need to be a DJ.

makerbot mixtape review from cnet

Gifts and makerbot mixtape

 

First there were many other options for a mixtape but nothing dedicated like this, before Pandora or RDIO or even ancient technologies like iTunes, there was the mixtape — a carefully selected group of songs, organized into a playlist and recorded onto a cassette

Now mixtape gives you two options: If you own a MakerBot, the company will ship you a $25 kit so you can put your MakerBot into action and have it create a colorful cassette-shaped case that snaps together around the tiny included MP3 player.

Contrary to what you might think, the days of making a mix*tape* for your crush are
not over. MakerBot, a 3D printing company, snaps together this retro mlxtapa In Its
Brooklyn workshop and ships It to paramours everywhere. Simply hook It up to a
computer using tha included USB cable to drag and drop up to 2GB of heartfelt
songs.

No Walkman Is needed to llsten to the mlxtape as its a MP3 player as well.

summary:The MakerBot Mixtape is a Flash based MP3 player that costs $39, which is $12 lower than the average for all 2 GB MP3 Players. It supports MP3 audio files.

Those  with a MakarBot Replicator can buy a Mlxtap* Kit for $25 and print out their own
mlxtape at home. Gadget Review written by babyhifi for gadgetaustralia.com

Wacky new underwear invention 2b released by Durex

by 2 Comments

Just Imagine this, you are sitting in an office bored out of your mind by the monotonous work you doing when suddenly you receive a message beneath the desk, thanks to a intimate smartphone app and lingerie  developed by durex

durex australia phone app

Crazy aussie underwear invention stirs people up  !!

And No, it’s not your sleazy boss or colleague trying to get some extra action, its your boyfriend, across town in his own workplace or at home sending a special touch message via his smartphone to your underwear or might i say Fundawear by durex.

The price for this fundawear is possibly estimated  in the $200 price range in australia

 

check out the –

video chat not intimate chat messaging smartphone app

Durex Fundawear — Touch over the Internet [OFFICIAL] Video here

This brand new wacky and weird invention, from Durex – the world’s largest condom manufacturer – is bound to attract attention due to its not too normal appeal.

Durex has come out with prototype technology which Durex claims allows "physical touch to be transferred wirelessly between couples" which is  called “Fundawear  his and hers”.

How fundawear works?

The couples buy and wear Fundawear – boxers for him and knickers and bra for her – which are pre-fitted out with a series of mini-vibrators.By using the touch screen on their “Durex smart phone app” they send signals via the internet from one phone to another, which sets off the vibrations in the underwear or fund a wear.

What is even more interesting is the speed and sequence of the stimulation can be controlled by pushing the right buttons on the touch screen.

This device is pretty much a wireless tickler or stimulator whatever you may like to call it  – Upstairs? Downstairs? Faster or slower.  Whatever your lover prefers. Sending a erotic message via your smartphone just got more personal  and intimate  irrespective of distance between partners  and if not used properly could lead to a sticky situation. This underwear has been extensively tested for replicate the sensuous touch in a  Australian bio mimicry lab by the developers

Last year students at MIT created the Like-A-Hug jacket, which inflates to "hug" the wearer whenever someone "likes" one of their Facebook posts and in in 2006 London-based designers CuteCircuit created an internet-controlled HugShirt. although there are much more explicit inventions like LovePalz and Vibease released int he market.

According to durex australia ”Fundawear is an innovation from Durex that allows touch to be transferred over the internet. Visit http://www.durexperiment.com.auto find out more & get Fundawear for yourself.”

The project is still in the planning stage with only a few samples currently available to test public reaction and is surely set to turn people on when released to the public , not to mention awkward situation in the meeting rooms

Review of Anti-Virus for PC – Norton 360 Multi-Device

by 3 Comments

Norton antivirus , AVG Antivirus , McAfee antivirus, Kaspersky, there are numerous software’s available to defend  your computer against the internet baddies and choosing the right one makes you spoilt for choice. There  has been numerous big corporate tech companies  that have been  at the receiving end of hackers recently. Google , yahoo and many big companies  have been in the news  for systems being compromised.  But its not only the big companies that can get attacked by hackers and viruses but also the home user who is at risk nowadays.

Security threats  an viruses are just around the corner on the Internet these days and protecting your computer against them is compulsory because as long as you surf the internet  your pc can be vulnerable to  attack and viruses. Whenever you go online , visit a website ,download a file, click a link,  your PC is in danger of getting infected by various types of malware and viruses. A secure software is required to defend your pc or computer  against worms, Trojans and hackers.

I have used Norton internet security before  and i used avg  antivirus before i  again switched to  the NEW Norton 360 Multi Device. I received a copy  to review  and i was hooked once again  to my favourite antivirus , just because they have tweaked the anti-virus  quite a bit  to use the least power available from your pc to run the software and also making the running of the antivirus very smooth and unobtrusive to normal internet surfing.

Norton 360 Multi-Device

The first thing that immediately got my attention when i got  the software was that the Norton 360 multi device not only offers protection for your desktop computer , but also can be used to protect your ipad or iphone  or android device and that’s surely a bonus. With fast internet on smartphones and tablets now available  you need to secure all these devices with a antivirus software solution, as they all store personal information and passwords  that can easily get stolen.

Norton 360 Multi-Device combines powerful PC, Mac®, and mobile device protection into a single, software packaged solution, so you can safely surf, shop, share, and socialise online, no matter which device you use. It protects against viruses, unsafe websites, and other threats.This software can also be used to create backups for your most important files and folders, to the location you specify

Screen shot of the  software and protection it offers

Key features that i like in this software package is

  • It lets you remotely lock and locate a lost or stolen mobile device and even erase the Stuff on it to ensure your private information stays that way
  • It backs up files stored on your PC
  • Defends your PC from threats and harmful websites and scans your email for threats
  • Browse, shop, bank, and socialize online with 24/7 security
  • One locations  to easily manage protection for all of your devices.

 

If you wondered how all this is done , its all in the cloud nowadays and the Cloud-based management brings it all together, letting you easily control your protection for your various devices from one convenient place on the Web.

This software package includes an antivirus tool, firewall, anti-malware, a backup system and a PC tune up utility, all the necessary elements needed to protect you against any threat. To keep your pc running  smoothly you often need to tune it up  and with this software package you don’t need to get another separate tuning  software to tune up your pc , Norton 360 has a tune Up section module  which provides a set of utilities for disk optimization, temporary file clean-up, diagnostic report, or start-up manager. These are meant to optimize your system, resulting in improved execution speeds and overall improved performance.

Here are some requirements for this software

· 300-MHz or faster processor
· 256 MB of RAM
· 300 MB of available hard disk space
· CD-ROM or DVD drive (if not installing via electronic download)

Try it  and you will not  go back , it retails for  anywhere between AUD $129.95 (1 year protection for up to 5 devices)
