ipico projector from General Imaging targets the
iPhone and iPod touch

post from Ubergizmo on 08 August 2012 01:01:50 PM. © Ubergizmo

The pico projector industry should just about fold up and start thinking of another potential killer peripheral for the iPhone and iPod touch devices, as you hardly see anyone take advantage of a pico projector at all these days, never mind that their resolution count and features have improved by some over the past few years, not to mention having a better battery life.

The ipico projector from General Imaging is the latest in a line of pico projectors that want to change peoples’ perception to it, where it will be unique and affordable to boot. General Imaging’s ipico is a sleek hand-held, projector that sports a patented pop-up connector which will transform your iPhone or iPod touch into an instant social media tool wherever you are. It is a snap for you to share your favorite moments with others, since there are no cables to wrry about, thanks to the pop-up built-in connector on the ipico. The ipico is capable of projecting a maximum screen size of 50″, where it will come in white this holiday season for $129.99 a pop.

Netflix Just for Kids on the Xbox 360 debuts

post from Ubergizmo on 08 August 2012 12:48:39 PM. © Ubergizmo

I remember back in the day when I first laid my eyes on a color TV, boy was it quite a stark contrast compared to the communal black and white TV set! Even though there were just two channels to choose from, I never really complained that there was nothing to watch on TV. Fast forward to today, and many people gripe and complain about how there is “nothing to watch” on TV despite surfing through hundreds of TV channels in the process. Netflix has offered ‘Just for Kids’ on the Xbox 360, where this user interface makes it easier and more intuitive for your little ones to enjoy their favorite shows without bugging you.

Basically, Just For Kids will be a character-centric interface, allowing even toddlers to be able to navigate to watch what they fancy, ranging from Dora The Explorer to the amazing talking sponge, Spongebob Squarepants. Glad to see this port of Just For Kids appear on the Xbox 360 after it has already made an appearance on the Nintendo Wii, PS3 and Apple TV. It is a no brainer to give this a go if you are a Netflix subscriber, own an Xbox 360 and have the pitter patter of feet around the home.

Modern Warfare 3 four day marathon results in
Ohio teens collapse

post from Ubergizmo on 08 August 2012 12:43:22 PM. © Ubergizmo

modern-warfare-3-image I guess this particular 15-year old Ohio teen has his lucky stars to thank, as he collapsed from dehydration after duking it out on Modern Warfare 3 on his Xbox 360 for get this – 4 days in a row. Sure, he might have cheated death this once, but do remember that it is a very thin line that he is treading on here. Remember an earlier story on how a teenager died after playing Diablo 3 for 40 hours straight? According to the teen’s mother, her son came out from his room only to pick up some snacks to keep him going, as well as to grab a quick shower.

Now here is one word of advice from a cool headed authority figure, Dr. Mike Patrick, who is an emergency physician at Nationwide Children?s Hospital. Dr. Mike hopes that gamers, for all their reflexes and logical thinking, will be able to make use of this thing called common sense by getting their fair share of food and fluids, while taking frequent breaks for physical activity, and most importantly, ensure your body gets its adequate amounts of sleep!

Exogear Exovolt Plus battery stacks up like
pancakesxx

post from Ubergizmo on 08 August 2012 12:31:36 PM. © Ubergizmo

Are you one who loves practical designs that are also pleasing to the eye at the same time? If you answered in the affirmative, then chances are pretty good you are a huge Ikea fan, not to mention having fallen in love with the Exovolt Plus battery from Exogear. What makes the Exovolt Plus so special from other battery packs? For starters, it is the world’s first stackable battery pack of its kind, carrying 5,200 mAh of juice within, and if that is not enough you can always pair it up (via stacking, of course) alongside a “Sub Battery” unit so that you end up with what some might dub as the ultimate portable charging station on earth.

Cost might prove to be the ultimate prohibitive entry point, especially when each extra stack will not come free but sold separately for nearly $50 a pop. Just make sure that you are able to afford the near $90 Exovolt Plus battery pack in the first place when it finally arrives in the market. Do you think that it will ever get as popular as pancakes for breakfast? [Product Page]

Amazon tightens security after hacking scandal

Security is a vital part of our life. That’s why when we heard that Mat Honan’s iCloud account was hacked on Monday this week, we immediately followed the story. Apple was quick to respond by freezing the functionality to allow Apple ID password changes over the phone. Online retail giant Amazon is also doing the same by changing its customer privacy policies to close the security gaps that were exploited in the hack. But unlike Apple who previously said that the password freezing will only be temporary, Amazon has told Wired that they will no longer allow customers to change their account settings over the phone.

“We have investigated the reported exploit, and can confirm that the exploit has been closed as of yesterday afternoon,” an Amazon spokesman said. The hackers reportedly used the last four digits on the credit card linked to Honan’s Amazon account to access his Apple ID account as well as his Gmail and Twitter accounts. And the rest was history for Mat Honan who said, “In the space of one hour, my entire digital life was destroyed.”

Nokia Suite 3.5 Beta now offers Nokia N9 support

Now here is something for all of you who do wonder whether there is life left in the legs of the Nokia N9 – it seems that Nokia Suite 3.5 Beta has just arrived for Windows as it sports N9 support, now how about that? Not only that, Nokia Suite 3.5 Beta will also be useful enough to perform a wide range of tasks, where they will include (but are not limited to) the ability to back up your contacts to the PC, saving the slew of text messages, being able to transfer multimedia items like music, photos and video, to and from the PC, in addition to being able to download important software updates to your handset.

Since this particular update hails from Nokia Beta Labs, the name itself gives the game away, so do not be disappointed if you stumble over some minor bugs after installation. If you do, just inform the folks over at Nokia Beta Labs so that they are informed of what’s going on and are able to make some remedial steps in the process. Have you given Nokia Suite 3.5 Beta for Windows a go yet, and how do you find the experience so far?
