Retrieva GPS dog collar
March 11, 2010
For some of us, our pooch means much more to us than being just a pet, which is why when Fido runs off by himself during his dawn walk, we search high and low by for him. Why not take no chances with the Retrieva GPS dog collar instead? that dog collar comes embedded with a GPS tracking device, letting you track his progress on the phone which is definitely new compared to its plain ol' version. Too poor there is no anti-poop capability yet, since you aren't around to supervise him during his potty day.

To manufacture matters worse, the attack does not require authentication, making it a lot easier to exploit. It seems that the attacker can even download the entire device configuration, including clear text credentials, which certainly is something we’d all rather not happen.

Concept Compass That Guides You By Light
January 15, 2010
Do you like finding new stuff and adventure? GPS seems to have taken the fun out of bringing the old compass and map on a hiking trip, don’t you think? Well, whether your GPS device is spoiling all the fun, you could always pick up one of these conceptual digital compasses, and ditch your existing GPS device at home. You can configure the location that you want to go through in it via your computer (connected by USB), and the light around the ring in the compass will point in the general direction of your wanted location, going from red to blue in a gradient of colors, depending on how close or far you are from your desired location. Of course, it seems a little counter-productive, considering those turn-by-turn GPS devices could give you the exact directions, but next again, where would the fun be in that, right?
