Don’t Worry, Be Happy!

Forget the iPod Nano. By the time have saved enough money to buy one, probably Apple will have released an iPod Femto or worse, an iPod Zepto. Could it be that possible? Maybe! In this new generation of technology there’s no such a thing as impossible! But hey! Here’s another way you can still rack up major cool points without breaking the bank. Flashtech, a Canadian company has created the TQ or T – Qualizer, which is basically a t-shirt with a built – in sound sensitive graphic equalizer. Would you believe it or not? It is made from 100% cotton, the T – Qualizer uses electroluminescent technology that enables the shirt to light up to different frequencies of music. The T – Qualizer comes with a discrete battery pack that can be placed into a pocket inside the t – shirt. T – Qualizer t – shirts has its large, medium and small sizes.

If you left your cell phone in the other room, you don’t have to get up from the cushy comfort of your goose down – filled mattress. It’s too hassle!

Just get yourself the latest product from Urban Tool company – the PerCushion. PerCushion is crafted from cotton velvet and connects wirelessly to your cell phone via Bluetooth transceiver embedded in the pillow. Besides being the most relaxing phone in the world, the PerCushion also features a loudspeaker, an integrated microphone, a series of light – emitting diodes (LEDs) that indicate whether the device is in active or standby mode, and a rechargeable lithium ionic battery. Sounds good right? So, if your cell phone rings while you’re lazing around on your bed, well, standing is no longer necessary!

You’ve probably seen spy movies so many times, you’ve become familiar with tapped phones – those cool gadgets that make espionage seem glamorous and exciting despite the fact that, in reality, spying is a dangerous and serious business.

Sometimes all it takes for a criminal is a right combination of devices, intention, and opportunity. So it is the responsibility of the consumers to know as much as they can about the products sold in the market – you never know when a gadget will be used in a malicious manner.

Such is the case of this – introducing, the Nike + iPod Sport Kit. The iPod Nano’s bottom is more than a music player. A receiver can be plugged into this device. That receiver communicates with a sensor fitted in the left sole of a Nike shoe. The signal transmitted by the shoes sensor can be detected by any compatible receiver within an 18-meter radius. This system, called Nike + iPod, is designed so that while the user is walking or jogging, the sensor detects the feet’s movement and sends this information to the receiver. The distance walked, as well as the pace, time and calories burned are all noted by the iPod; the data obtained can be uploaded to the Nike + iPod website. Users can use the software available on the website to tailor their workouts to their preference.  

At first glance, Nike + iPod is a nifty gadget. But then, it can very well serve as a tracking device; a tracking device that will inform consumers that there really are products that can lend themselves susceptible to evil intentions.
