The folks over at Hammacher tend to throw in superlatives whenever they are describing some of the stuff that they sell over there. The thing is, who are the ones carrying the standard and enforcing it? Well, if it is an in-house proclamation, every Tom, Dick and Harry can sell plenty of "sound good" items, but I suppose Hammacher has done their homework before, which is why they have managed to stay in business all this while. The latest device to roll out from them that carries a "The Best" title in the name would be the $229.95 The Best Automatic Hose Reel.
Folks who spend plenty of time in the garden would be able to know just how useful it is to have a hose reel ready, and just how the heck did it pick up the "The Best" rating from the Hammacher Schlemmer Institute? Well, it did so because it was the easiest to retract and most durable, and analysts have already done their bit to retract each model 50 times, making The Best Automatic Hose Reel being the only model that retracted every single time without fail. Kiss goodbye to required multiple tugs, as you can snake the Best model around the garden nonchalantly with its 66′ hose, in addition to its ability to swivel 180° when mounted to a wall and 360° when mounted to a deck surface.
ScanGauge II Advanced Multi-Function Vehicle Monitor
Have you watched the Fast and the Furious 6? So far, initial reviews and feelers on the movie have proved to be massive, and while the show continues to defy the laws of physics and gravity, it has managed to retain one characteristic – it is a franchise that has its timeline all screwed up, and yet is capable of drawing in the viewers never mind that they want to hear Vin Diesel do his mumbling act. Well, you might be wondering just what you can do in order to spruce up your ride's capabilities on the road, and apart from making sure that it is well serviced all the time, how about throwing in a fair bit of electronics to get the ball rolling?

Roccat announces Kone Pure Color limited edition models
Gamers will be gamers, especially the hardcore ones who will definitely want to have nothing but the very best hardware each time they are out for some digital blood. Having said that, since there is a fair number of gaming hardware manufacturers to choose from in the market, you know for sure that you are spoilt for choice, and this is where brand loyalty steps in to save the day for your company. Roccat of Germany has just announced the availability of the Inferno Orange, Polar Blue and Hellfire Red variations of the limited edition Kone Pure Color, where it is similar to the original Kone Pure in terms of specifications, boasting of a high-end 8,200 DPI Pro-Aim R3 laser sensor as well as high quality Omron switches. Other features that you can find within the Roccat Kone Pure Color would include Easy-Shift[+], Easy-Aim and ROCCAT Talk, turning it into a formidable "weapon" in the hands of gamers fighting for point-streaks, lanes and bases.
In fact, the Roccat Kone Pure Color is one of a series of limited edition products which will be introduced to the masses in the course of this year, as 2013 has been said to mark the "Year of the Kone", where Roccat is celebrating the five-year anniversary of the Kone range. Those who want the Phantom White variation of the mouse will have to wait until sometime later this year, in addition to a slew of other limited edition devices.
Just some background information so that everyone else is on the same page – the very first Kone was the first product that Roccat developed way back in 2008, as CEO and Founder René Korte reminisced about the early days of Roccat. Korte said, "Early on, I was involved in the professional gaming scene. So, I was aware of the many professional players who were dissatisfied with their gaming devices. Since then our overall mission has been to build high-quality peripherals that satisfy the needs of all ambitious gamers." Five years down the road and you end up with the Kone series, touted to be one of the most successful gaming devices in the world.
LG has just announced that they have introduced yet another color variation of the LG Nexus 4 device, where this time around it would ditch the regular dark shades which tend to signify the business market segment. LG's attempt this time has ended up with the LG Nexus 4 White, which so happens to be the latest edition of the popular smartphone that was specially developed in collaboration with Google. The LG Nexus 4 White would not trump the regular LG Nexus 4 when it comes to hardware specifications, as the only difference would be the added prestige that you carry a white color version of the smartphone.
In a nutshell, the LG Nexus 4 White would boast of a similar stellar Android experience as the original Nexus 4, where it will merge LG's sophisticated hardware design as well as popular Google Services including Google Now and Photosphere, delivering a top notch and outstanding overall user experience. Dr. Jong-seok Park, president and CEO of LG Mobile Communications Company, said, "Nexus 4 set the standard for Android 4.2 Jelly Bean smartphones. Nexus 4 White delivers the same Google experience to consumers in a stylish and attractive color option."
Just to refresh our memories, you will not find the LG Nexus 4 end up obsolete so soon, as it will arrive with a superb 4.7-inch True HD IPS Plus display at 320ppi with 1,280 x 768 pixels resolution to deliver eye popping visuals, which has additional support by Zerogap Touch technology. Right at the core of things would be the high performing Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 Pro processor alongside 2GB RAM. Folks who are living in Hong Kong will be pleased to hear that from May 29th onwards, the LG Nexus 4 White will roll out globally in select markets in Asia, North America, Europe and the Middle East in the weeks to come. We do not expect pricing details to veer too far off the original Nexus 4 sticker price despite sporting a new color, though.
We just adopted a homeless dog, his name is Hamilton and he is fitting in with the family quite nicely, he loves the car, plays fetch and came already potty trained. Problem is, we’re never exactly sure when he’s telling us he needs to go out, so we keep dragging him out into the yard at any hint of pacing or whining… only to be met with a ‘what the heck?’ look.
