Wi-Spy is the world's smallest 2.4 GHz spectrum analyzer. What does that mean? Well, let's say that your internet reception from your laptop or wifi enabled desktop seems rather slow. Your router is in the other room, or on the other floor. Or, let's say you are installing your router in a new house and are trying to decide where is the best place to put it. Or, maybe you want to see where you would get the best wifi reception on your laptop. All of these tasks are made simple with the Wi-Spy.

You've seen 'em in all of your favorite sci-fi movies, and now they're here; that's right, hoverboards. You're going to have to be truly dedicated to your passion of hoverboards and the concept, because we aren't quite to flying cars or any fast transportation of that nature. Nonetheless, rejoice.
So who do we have to thank for this long-awaited geek fantasy made real? None other than Future Horizons and Alura Intelligent Products.

It's only natural that a certain portion of our modern technology goes towards drinking. You can
make your own wine without breaking a sweat, for example. So now what's the new thing? Forget making wine, now you can make any drink you want (still without breaking a sweat). Allow me to introduce you to our new friend, MyFountain.
MyFountain is essentially your personal, virtual bartender who makes whatever you want, whatever the hour.

Keyspan has just introduced the RF remote for Windows Vista. This remote, unlike most Vista and other computer remotes for media, uses radio frequencies rather than infrared to delivery it's signals.

Well this is certainly new (and nice). you may get tired of spilling your detergent, or accidentally bleaching clothes. Or perhaps you're just sick of paying for the stuff. Fair enough, here's your answer: a washer that sticks up its nose to your and simply scoffs, "Hmph. I don't need your pathetic detergent."
Hopefully it isn't quite that cocky. Nonetheless, its bold statement stands true.

While [in terms of add-ons]
it may never keep up with its fellow system, the Nintendo Wii, the DS has added a new accessory of sorts. It's a piece that almost turns the DS into a mouse, speaking in functions. In addition to the already innovative controlling of the touch-controlled DS, you may now be able to move the DS around on a flat surface in sync with your game.
After moving the DS like a mouse, the DS computes your action as always and the game will respond accordingly.

The Slickr is a spiffy device that seems to look like an iPhone Nano, if there was such a thing. We've seen rumors, but there hasn't been any public development concerning that and as far as I know, they're still just working on the iPhone itself. Something else we've seen is our fair share of PMPs. The Slickr is cool, or just really unoriginal, because it's the best of both worlds.
The first thing to be observed with the Slickr, despite its stunning aesthetic appeal, is that it has no touch screen capabilities.

Anyone who uses the computer in excess (say bloggers or workers) knows that using frequently can be strenuous enough to call ourselves 'cyber athletes'. You also probably know that most of us don't really take the proper measures to protect ourselves from RSI or just average aches. There's a lot to consider like posture, screen position, chair height, lighting, breaks, wrist angle, etc. It's basically too much and pretty well ignored.

A new technology is in the works that will allow us to search for music and downloads simply by humming the tune. It is being developed by an Australian scientist, Dr. Sandra Uitdenbogerd, is the Melbourne researcher and mastermind behind this. Her idea is simple, suggesting that finding a song can be tricky if you don't know its title, or perhaps if it has common lyrics.
"If you know the words then you're far better off just typing
some lyrics into Google and that will work brilliantly, but for
certain types of music, that's not really an option," she says.
