Google PowerMeter Will Allow You To Compare Energy Usage Data
March 17, 2010
If you’re concerned about the environment and your capability usage at home, Google seems to think that comparing potential usage might be favorable. With that in mind, you’ll probably want to check out Google PowerMeter, which you can activate on your personalized iGoogle page. Google PowerMeter will allow you to share your documents with others and compare your energy usage with each other. Google’s blog cites a case where a user noted that his home air-conditioning system was consuming a lot more energy than his friend’s system, and both lived in the same area with similar sized houses. that led him to find out that his air conditioner was malfunctioning. Can you think of any scenarios at home where Google PowerMeter might be favorable to you?

Cool GTW18 cellphone packs a projector
March 16, 2010
Cellphones with projectors are nothing new, but next again previously released models did not boast a performance as poor as the Cool GTW18 that you see here today. While it comes with a 3.2" touchscreen display at 240 x 400 resolution, the LED mini projector maxes out at 640 x 480 resolution, which is a far cry from the "HD 1080P" label on the device. Talk about clearly misleading whoever picks that up! Ah well, you would best leave a phone to be a phone, while a projector ought to remain at that as well. Other features that are typical of a China-originated handset would be dual SIM slots as well as a pair of microSD memory card slots (!). Battery life gets exhausted after half an hour of video playback using its projector, which ain't so cool after all.

112 LED Coffee Table
March 1, 2010
Joe's come up with the 112 LED coffee table that looks absolutely gorgeous in any living room, particularly for those who want a contemporary touch. that is made possible thanks to the configuration which is explained in the excerpt below in more detail.
Driving that grid is an ATmega328 in i2c slave mode. It listens for display notes from a second ATmega328 and uses that to set the array of TLC5940 driven LEDs appropriately. Separating the processing microcontroller from the display microcontroller allows for fast and smooth display changes that can be seen after the break. Joe's table exhibits exquisite cable management, clean cipher, and an amazing amount of flexibility.
Sounds like the perfect addition to spruce up your living room, eh?

Samsung full HD 3D LED TV to hit South Korea first
February 25, 2010
Samsung will naturally please its citizens first, rolling out its range of full HD 3D LED TVs from the Series 7000 and 8000 family, while folks living in Europe will have to wait until March before they get a sniff of either. Amazon US has already listed the 55" 7000 Series model for $3,299, which is really cheap compared to what South Koreans have to fork out (after conversion, that is) - $4,990. The 46" and 55" models from the 8000 Series will retail for $3,870 and $5,250, respectively.

Color-changing LED showerheads gets remote control
February 12, 2010
Ever thought of performing some minor renovations in your home? How about introducing color-changing LED showerheads - that moment round with a remote control? You can opt to have the lights fade randomly from one color to another, or jump amidst colors. whether going disco in the shower stall is not your cup of tea, you can always choose to have it operate as it was meant to be, showing off the right color to reflect the temperature of the water at that point in day. Nice to know there is a remote control included, and hopefully one that is waterproof for obvious reasons.

Adapt ADPP-450 micro projector
February 10, 2010
Adapt has sent word that they will be rolling out the ADPP-450 micro projector in March, where that tiny wonder boasts 100 lumens of brightness as well as 800 x 600 resolution, a 200:1 contrast ratio, DVB-T support and the ability to throw images of up to 150" in size. At that blown up proportion, we wouldn't think the image would look very good whether you're talking about watching movies, but text and pie charts should do just fine. Despite being possibly the world's brightest micro projector, it will still require a fairly dark room to impress. that LED-based projector comes with a built-in 4 watt speaker and is capable of accepting A/V, VGA, USB and a SD memory card. No notion on pricing, but since its battery is external, you will need to lug around an additional device on your travels.
