Bring some sunlight into your home

Do you find yourself saving up money each month and looking forward to making a purchase of that gadget you’ve always wanted, only to be thwarted by a heartache-inducing power bill? One cannot run away from the fact that lighting up a house properly is a necessity, but then there are better ways to do so. Sunlight Direct’s innovative halogen/solar lighting aims to bring in natural sunlight in a focused manner into the confines of your home without racking up the power bill at the end of the month.


Despite its renewable energy source, you won’t be able to tell them apart from a normal halogen bulb when seen from the inside when installed. Taking a look at your roof is another matter entirely as the sunlight collector which is mounted there will gather all the rays it can get, funneling them down into the Sunlight Direct halogen lighting directly via a fibre optic cable, where the refractor will then focus the light to where you want it to be. Too bad there is no way you get to store the sunlight for use later in the evening and at night.

The Sunlight Direct halogen lighting is smart enough to adjust the electricity in the halogens in order to maintain a steady, overall light level courtesy of the microprocessor within that monitors the amount of sunlight coming in. Sunlight Direct claims that the light bulbs are able to last up to twenty times longer than normal and are much more efficient in dispensing their duties, lowering the overall power bill at the end of the month.

iRobot does it again. This time in your pool.

IRobot’s patented intelligent cleaning technology now has olympic size dreams with it’s new Verro Poolbot. Promising to automatically clean and entire pool from floor to waterline, the Verro uses the same artificial intelligence as their popular Rooma and Scooba models, plus the standard tools used by manual pool vacs. The result is a clean and filtered pool in a little over an hour.

Two models are offered. The Verro 300, works solely on pools made of gunite or concrete and features a powerful hydro-jet system that power washes the pool, while the Verro 600 –can work in more portable pools made of vinyl, tile and fiberglass models. The 600 uses brushes to scrub and clean while the vacuum, while both models use a filtration system to pick up and trap debris and bacteria as small as 2 microns!

The Vero is available from iRobot and is priced at $799 (for the 300 model) and $1,199 (for the 600 model) .

From 1 to 32GB in a flash

It seems like only yesterday that hard drives were measured in megabytes or when flash cards were 128MB. Now, the limit is 32GB with no ceiling in sight. With companies like Sandisk, TDK and now Transcend joining the 32GB flashdrive market, it looks like Flash drives are the wave of the future when it comes to high capacity storage.

Following Moore’s law and almost being able to set your clock by it, flash memory manufacturers are introducing higher capacity drives almost on a weekly basis. Witness Transcend, which only earlier this month had announced a 16GB flash SSD drive, now, they are announcing that they’ve doubled that.

Looking more like a 2.5 inch IDE hard drive, the 32GB SSD drive is completely solid state with a high impact outer metal shell. With no moving parts and a very low power curve, the drive is about as thick as a PCMCIA card.

No word on pricing yet for the 32GB, but the 16GB weighs in at a hefty $250.00. With a range of SSD cards from 8GB – 32GB, Transcend is providing plenty of options when it comes to flash memory storage.

Can anyone say flash driven iPod?

First Review: Lexar ExpressCard SSD

Lexar's ExpressCard solid state drive is an interesting proposition: 4 to 16 gigabytes of non-volatile memory in a slot form factor. That's not only more storage than typical USB flash drives can offer, but more than most based on microdrives can, too. For those with lappies with ExpressCard slots, it would seem like a sweet piece of storage, and even as a cache for Vista's ReadyBoost, since its not hanging off the side of a laptop like a USB thumbdrive would. So what's the catch?

Unfortunately, I found write performance to be a lot lower than I'd have liked.


It read a fair 15MB per second on several machines, confirmed using both synthetic and MP3 file copies. But only wrote at 3MB per second.

For comparison, the laptop drive in the DV9000 HP Pavilion churned about 30MB per second in both reads and writes, and the Lexar Lightning, the fastest USB drive I had on hand, scored 17MB and 14MB per seconds in reads/writes.

In a nutshell, write speeds really need to be much better before I can recommend it.

Shinshoku Watch: Complicated, but so What, it's Flashy-Flashy

Without the lights, this looks like the sievey thing that goes in my juicer. With the lights going flashy-flash it looks like something from Buck Rodgers' foppish wardrobe - let's face it, it still doesn't look like what it is, which is a watch. It goes by the name of Shinshoku and it consists of a metal bracelet with holes punched in it and a bunch of LED lights.

And now a quick time-telling lesson. According to my Shinshoku, it's 9.37. How do I know that? The red dots count the hours, the yellow ones blocks of five minutes, and the green ones each subsequent minute. So actually it's not that complicated . although there are one-color versions (but don't ask me to explain how they work, it's FAR too early in the morning). The Shinshoku will cost you $114.05 and a bit of getting used to

APPLE'S IPHONE

Apple is launching its iphone in june this year.

iPhone combines three products — a revolutionary mobile phone, a widescreen iPod with touch controls, and a breakthrough Internet communications device with desktop-class email, web browsing, maps, and searching — into one small and lightweight handheld device. iPhone also introduces an entirely new user interface based on a large multi-touch display and pioneering new software, letting you control everything with just your fingers. So it ushers in an era of software power and sophistication never before seen in a mobile device, completely redefining what you can do on a mobile phone.

WIDESCREEN IPOD
iPhone is a widescreen iPod with touch controls that lets you enjoy all your content — including music, audiobooks, videos, TV shows, and movies — on a beautiful 3.5-inch widescreen display. It also lets you sync your content from the iTunes library on your PC or Mac. And then you can access it all with just the touch of a finger.

REVOLUTIONARY PHONE

iPhone is a revolutionary new mobile phone that allows you to make a call by simply pointing your finger at a name or number in your address book, a favorites list, or a call log. It also automatically syncs all your contacts from a PC, Mac, or Internet service. And it lets you select and listen to voicemail messages in whatever order you want — just like email.


BREAKTHROUGH INTERNET DEVICE
iPhone features a rich HTML email client and Safari — the most advanced web browser ever on a portable device — which automatically syncs bookmarks from your PC or Mac. Safari also includes built-in Google and Yahoo! search. iPhone is fully multi-tasking, so you can read a web page while downloading your email in the background over Wi-Fi or EDGE.

HIGH TECHNOLOGY
Multi-touch
iPhone features the most revolutionary user interface since the mouse. It’s an entirely new interface based on a large multi-touch display and innovative new software that lets you control everything using only your fingers. So you can glide through albums with Cover Flow, flip through photos and email them with a touch, or zoom in and out on a section of a web page — all by simply using iPhone’s multi-touch display.

Intelligent Keyboard
iPhone’s full QWERTY soft keyboard lets you easily send and receive SMS messages in multiple sessions. And the keyboard is predictive, so it prevents and corrects mistakes, making it easier and more efficient to use than the small plastic keyboards on many smartphones.
