May 14, 2013 0 Comments

The hi-tech world takes on the appearance of magic with the Myo Gesture Control Armband, moving us one step closer to a touch-free reality.
We’ve moved from keyboards to touchscreens and voice-command, and the evolution continues with this deceptively simple-looking armband that lets you use the electrical activity in your muscles to wirelessly control your computer, phone, and other gadget goodies.
When I first saw this, I thought it would be great for toys but that was about it. However, as the video demonstrates, the possibilities cover a wider range, letting you do everything from controlling remote-control toys to handling slideshow presentations at the office.
People that like developing software can make the armband even more productive by using the API to utilize MYO’s sophisticated hardware to create new applications.
The Myo Gesture Control Armband will be shipping early 2014 but it can be pre-ordered now for $149 at GetMyo.com.

After that, all you have to do is kick-back and enjoy your nice, cold drink. If your party tastes are a little more refined, you can also use the Corkcicle Wine Chiller to keep your bubbly chilly-willy.

Outdated Technologies Still Used By People

1 Beepers

Beepers also known as pagers are a simple telecommunications device used for short messages. These devices are set at a particular frequency in order to enable one receive messages of a few digits or even a number to which the user will call back to.

Today beepers may seem sadly unnecessary. But there are about 36 million beepers still using them regularly. Apart from the obvious clientele like drug dealers and cops pretending to be drug-dealing kingpins, many regular citizens use beepers as they could be an inexpensive alternative to costly cell phones.

For those who ignore calls or

Meet PaperTab: A Tablet Like Paper

Following the trend in tech for lighter and thinner devices, a new tablet, the Paper Tab, may have taken the trend to the next level.  As its name suggests, this new tablet has the look and flexibility of a sheet of paper.  However, the PaperTab, developed by Plastic Logic, a company founded by researchers from Cambridge University, and in partnership with Intel and the Human Media Lab, is no ordinary sheet of paper.  It boasts an interactive touchscreen, high-resolution display, and an Intel Core i5 Processor.

Perhaps the most unique trait about the PaperTab is the way the user interacts with the device

10 Tablets Unveiled in August 2012 (Till Date)

1. HCL ME Y2

Nokia Purity HD Stereo Headset by Monster

Nokia Purity HD Stereo Headset

A mixed bag of music.

Monster had been on a collaborating binge, working with a host of different partners such as Dr. Dre and Lady Gaga to deliver a variety of audio products. They are now lending their expertise to Nokia with a range of accessories under the Purity banner, with the crown jewel being the Nokia Purity HD Stereo Headset.
In terms of product design, one world unlikely come to that conclusion based on its looks alone. The Purity HD has a mostly plastic build which belies its premium status. When held in the hands, the headset comes off as a flimsy and unstable, mostly due to sub-par implementation of the headband adjustment system.

However, there are some positive points for the Purity HD. For example, the headset can be folded and stowed away neatly in a carrying case handily provided as part of the package. Seeing that the device is meant to be used with your phone, the portability is a handy feature. The inclusion of flat cables is a useful design decision that also means you do not have to worry about tangled wires.
Slipping the headphones on the first thing you’ll notice is the gentle caress of the ear cushions and how lightly the Purity HD rests on your head. The headset weights in at about 180g and can actually be worn for long periods of time with relative comfort. We also experienced minimal ear heating even after extended use.
continuing with the upward, redeeming trend, audio performance for the Purity HD is commendable. The headphones are perfect for popular fare and Top 40 hits. With great attention to detail, the nuances of Indie Blue-grass band Mumford & Sons’ track The Cave came to the fore. Similarly, and impressive soundstage made listening to the Foster the People’s brand of electronic dance pop a joy. Attention to detail and crisp delivery of highs is a definite strong suite for these On-Ears.
Like the Beats headsets which Monster has also collaborated on, the Purity HD is proficient with the lower frequencies of the sound spectrum. Deft reproduction of everything from techno, trance, RnB and dubstep cemented this headphone’s credentials as a product more than capable of handling whatever music tracks that are thrown at it.
Overall, the Purity HD comes across as a mixed bad. While its performance is up to the mark as expected from a flagship product, its design, aesthetics and build quality still need some work. Add in the fact that the in-line volume and playback controls are only compatible with Windows Phone devices like the Nokia Lumia 800, and you’ll realize that the functionality of the device is severely limited.
