Jukefly Lets You Stream Your Music Library to Any Browser, No File Uploading Required

May 16, 2008

Services like MP3Tunes.com are awesome for music fiends because they let you access and listen to your music from any web browser. However a common pitfall of MP3Tunes.com, Anywhere.fm and similar services is that in order to get up an running, you first have to upload all of your music files to the service, which can be both a time and bandwidth consuming process. That is why Jukefly is so welcome. The service lets you play your music collection without having to upload everything first. Instead Jukefly connects directly to your computer and streams it directly to the internet browser you are currently using. Of course there is a catch - your computer at home will have to be turned on for this to work. Oh, and one more sort of catch - Jukefly is currently not Mac compatible. Dang.

Cellphonist Tutorial Videos Teach You How To Use Your Mobile

May 6, 2008

If I had a penny for every time my mother asked me to show her how to use a feature on her cell phone, well then i’d certainly have a lot of pennies. From now on I’ll see if I can get away with sending her over to Cellphonist. Cellphonist is a web site that is dedicated to free video tutorials of how to use many different cell phones and their features. They have a large selection of different phones from different providers and they should be adding more and more. Need to teach grandma how to use the speakerphone on the Motorola Razr?

April 25, 2008

fishtv.jpgFor many a television that only has fish on it 24 hours a day is a lot more soothing and enjoyable than another confusing episode of Lost!

Composed of wood, metal and plastic, the Fish Network also comes complete with a functional quart size fish bowl to fit inside the TV shaped display. Available in a Cowboy design for $19.99 there are only 2 left, so grab what is truly HDTV before its gone.

Goodmans iPod Dock with 7″ Display Rocks Our World

April 22, 2008

goodman.jpgNow this is sexy! I haven’t been wowed as of late with any iPod Docks for their looks. Sure we have mentioned the originality of some but otherwise there hasn’t been anything stellar in design that has really stood out till now. The Goodmans iPod Dock with 7″ LCD Display is sleek and stylish. Not looking like your typical clunky Boombox, this has class written all over it. The center of the dock displays your videos, films, and photos. The other obvious use of the Goodmans, is as a boombox with a remote and it also comes with a 3 in 1 card reader. Retailing for £89.99, this is super cool and certainly will be an attention grabber come summer.

ScanCafe Saves You the Headache of Scanning in Old Photos

April 16, 2008

scancafe.jpgScanCafe specializes in preserving your memories and precious moments. For most of us we don’t have the time or luxury to scan in all our old photos so that we can make them digital, however ScanCafe will save you the time as long you have the money. Send them a bunch of your most prized photos via UPS and they’ll scan and digitize them. Then you can select what you want saved to CD or printed our professionally. Pricing is 19c for negatives at 3000 dpi, 24c for slides at 3000 dpi and 27c for photos at 600 dpi. This is actually pretty reasonable pricing, and when you consider that your photos are probably fading away as each moment passes, this is a good bandwagon to jump on. Just pray that UPS takes care of your package getting there.

USB Negative Scanner Saves Memories Before They Fade Away For Good

April 10, 2008

usbnegative.jpgRemember back in ancient times when there was no digital camera and the only way to develop film was to bring it in to a local film developer or send the 35mm roll out to Clarks? When we would get them back, you would get an envelope of your precious or not so precious memories and a huge pile of negatives. Well of course those days are soon gone for many as we become more and more digital. However for our older generations out there they still have tons of negatives that will eventually fade away or get lost over time. So why not preserve them with the USB negatives photo film scanner. This contraption allows you to slide through a negative and it will convert it to jpeg. You can scan 35mm negatives or slides and it connects to your computer via USB so the minute it slides through it pops up on your screen to be edited or saved. [Read more]

Gribbits Add Flair to Boring Earbuds

April 9, 2008

gribbits.jpgInstead of rhinestones on your earbuds as decorative trim, why not add Gribbits. Gribbits are plastic snap on pieces for your Apple iPod Earbuds, Pencils, or Stethoscope. Think of them as a sort of set of charms for your earphones. They can be a bee, a pair of slippers, a smiley face, or a teddy bear snap - just to name a few. Prices range from $5.99 to $14.99, which isn’t that much. Either way these are either the most adorable accessory ever, or the most ridiculous.

Sony Digital Picture Frame Has HDMI Output

April 2, 2008

sonyframe.jpgEh, another Digital Picture frame you say?! No, No, this one is much more interesting than the same old same old. The Sony DPF-V700BT not only displays images beautifully by even color correcting and adjusting photos for better portraits. It also has a bluetooth feature which will let you transfer pictures via bluetooth from your camera phone to the frame. Lastly, it comes with an HDMI output to connect to a Plasma/LCD for an even more impressive way to show off your pictures in all their HD glory. No pricing is available yet but I’m sure it will be available on-line soon.

Taaz Lets You Try Out New HairStyles & Makeup Virtually

March 20, 2008

taaz.jpgWe can’t remember the name of it, but years ago there was some cutting edge makeover software for the time, which lets you take your photo and try out different hairstyles and makeup colors on yourself - without actually having to really try it yourself. Now a new web-based service is doing just that, for free. Taaz lets you upload your photo and then try out different hairstyles as well as different makeup combinations for your skin, eyes, and mouth. Afterwards you can print out the experiment or share it with your friends. But the coolest part about printing it out is that Taaz will supply you with a detailed shopping list of what you just applied to your virtual face, so that you can go out and buy the products on your own.

It will transform your iMac from sexy sleek hipster to a candy colored one.

USB Heart Mouse Feels the Love with Every Click

March 18, 2008

heartmouse.jpgValentines Day has been over for along time now, but that doesn’t mean you still can’t surprise your loved one with something romantic or cheesy. How about a heart shaped mouse? This USB heart shaped optical mouse isn’t wireless but it is ergonomic. It’s also very red. It may not be a heart shaped diamond, but for a computer geek it’s almost equivalent to one. The USB heart mouse retails for $12.00.

Portable Oxygen Bar for Those Who Need a Boost When On the Go

March 17, 2008

portableoxygenbar.jpgI could have used this when I went to CES this past year. The portable Oxygen Bar from O2-B. For $729.00 you can have your own Oxygen Bar for you to enjoy, or charge others for when they come over to hang out. It comes with a 10, 20, and 30 minute timer, headset and 5 nose hoses, 12 mouthpiece filters and a free additional intake filter. As wonderful as this all sounds, it’s a little scary at the prospect of those taking shots of Oxygen willy nilly and not under some kind of supervision… Oxygen at your own risk.

Sound Bubbler Bubbles to the Beat of Your Music

March 16, 2008

spibubbles.jpgAn interesting twist on the typical dock for your music devices. The Sound Bubbler from Spi is different from the pack, when you dock your iPod, CD Player, or MP3 Player, the bubbles will flow to the rhythm of the music. There are also three light colors: red, yellow, or blue. It’s almost like you turned your player into an aquarium. There is no pricing available and we aren’t sure of how good the sound quality is but we do have to say it’s at least ingenious.

Crosley Digital Bubbler Jukebox Brings The 50’s to 2008

March 16, 2008

crosjuke.jpgI love vintage Jukeboxes. They are beautiful and are a piece of Americana we won’t ever get back again. Earlier this year we mentioned the iJukebox for the iPod by Crosley. Crosley again has modernized the Jukebox for the Me Generation with the Crosley Digital Bubbler Jukebox. Reminiscent still of the 50’s era style but with 2008 guts! Inside of its beautiful shell is a video/music server which can hold 1500 hours of content. It also can rip CD music directly to the hard drive or burn them. You can also access the internet to download more music or video content as well as listen to internet radio. The Digital Bubbler Jukebox also sports a touch screen interface which sets this Jukebox apart from all others. The only downside is the Bubbler Jukebox will only set you back $4995.95, a hefty price for being a showoff…

Vivitar Vivicam 7399 Orange you Lovely

March 12, 2008

vivitarorange.jpgBecause making cameras more appealing to woman is the new in thing. It’s more like every camera and cell phone company actually woke up and finally realized they are loosing out on a whole demographic of billions of dollars. Sorry I’ll get off my soapbox now. The ViviCam 7399 by Vivitar comes in a lovely shade of neon orange and is a little to early for Halloween but just in time for it to coordinate with your spring wardrobe. The 7399 has a 7.2 Megapixel CCD, Internal 3X Optical Zoom, 4X Digital Zoom, 2.5 LCD Monitor. But here is the kicker - it’s also got an MP3 Player and 4 Built in Games. - Not totally unusual, Samsung does throw an Mp3 player in many of their Digicams, but then again what would you expect to find in an already unusually colored camera. Currently there is no pricing available.
