When you carry around a tablet, there are certain other accessories that you’d like to keep on-hand. A charging cable and wall adapter are great for when your battery is running low. A stylus can be nice, if you prefer not to smudge up your screen, or you need a little more precision. Finally, a set of earbuds will keep people from getting upset when you want to watch a movie. The big question is where you’re going to store these things. In a bag? Your pocket? Why not store them on your tablet?
The Smart Cargo is an interesting case for your iPad. That is to say, it’s a case that attaches to your Apple Smart Cover, not a case that protects the tablet itself. The small hard-shell case locks itself to the cover using a series of magnets, much the same way the cover is attached to your iPad. Once attached, you can flip open the little door and stash a number of things inside, and be confident that they won’t fall out. Check out the video below to see just how well it stays put.
What’s really interesting is that this add-on does more than simply stores accessories. It was designed to roll up in your Smart Cover, act as a hand grip, and be detached and used as a wrist rest when you’re typing. The accessory won’t break the bank, either. If you put down just $20, you’ll get one of your own when they start shipping this October.
Vis Vires bicycle is unlike any other you have seen before
Have you heard of FACTOR Bikes before? If you haven't, perhaps it is time you did. FACTOR Bikes happen to be part of a visionary firm that revolutionized the aerospace industry, Formula 1 racing in addition to playing a part in shaping some of the most advanced supercars in the world. Well, this time around, they intend to take things at a slightly slower pace, by delivering the highly anticipated Vis Vires bicycle. The Vis Vires will come with electronics incorporated from the ground up, where all data will be captured in a manner that is not seen before thanks to a complete, accurate and fully integrated system that comprises of high-end monitoring devices.
In their quest for perfection with the Vis Vires, it requires flexible and reliable technology, which is why FACTOR decided to use ANT+ as their wireless sensor technology. This move would also ensure that in the blink of an eye, it would make the Vis Vires compatible with the millions of ANT+ devices that happen to dominate the cycling market today. There will be a couple of models on sale, with the Vis Vires Ultegra Di2 burning a £7,999/$10,441 hole in your pocket as it arrives with Factor Power Cranks, while those who are on a tighter budget, you can settle for the Ultegra cranks at £5,999/$7,830 a pop. As for the other model, it would arrive in the form of the Vis Vires Dura-Ace Di2, where you have to fork out top dollar for it – to the tune of £9,999/$13,051, to be exact. Those who have placed their faith in the Dura-Ace model will be able to ride on this coming August, while those who want the Ultegra model, it will only be available in January 2014.
The Vis Vires is able to capture data accurately, efficiently and easily, thanks to a full system of ANT+ compatible electronics that has been incorporated seamlessly into the bike frame. Your cycling sessions will never be the same again, this I promise you, and so too, will your bank account be a whole lot poorer.
Are you a dog lover, so much so that you see your four legged friends as more than just pets, but prefer to call them 'furkids' instead? I am quite sure that those who are of the Cesar Millan school of thought would know that you should always maintain your position as the pack leader, and it would make training your pooch a whole lot easier after that. In order to make training sessions a whole lot more fun, how about getting a gizmo to help you out? Hammacher and their $99.95 Wireless Pavlovian Canine Trainer would seem to be a decent addition to your house, where this training aid dispenses treats with but a push of a button from a range of up to 25′ away.
The Wireless Pavlovian Canine Trainer would comprise of a wireless keychain remote control as well as a wall-mounted or freestanding dispenser, where the hopper would have to be filled with dry kibble or treats beforehand. Taking full advantage of the conditioning techniques that Ivan Pavlov discovered a long time ago where salivating canines are concerned, you now can give your dog a treat from a distance to reinforce good behavior. The dispenser itself can be set to emit a tone before releasing a treat, which would double up as a clicker training of sorts. The entire shebang requires a couple of AA batteries and one 3V lithium battery to function, although you can opt to plug it into an AC outlet, too.

So, you think that your iPhone 5 is the bee's knees when it comes to taking photos and videos compared to other smartphones in the market? Hate to burst your bubble bud, but the world is a whole lot larger out there, and perhaps it is time to up the ante as an iPhone 5 owner through the clever use of accessories to aid you in your quest to capture great looking shots on the iOS device. This is where the $17.99 Binocular Adapter For iPhone 5 comes in handy, where it offers your iPhone 5 camera a new range of options, with a case that has been specially adapted to handle majority of the standard-sized binoculars out there without batting an eyelid. Of course, each purchase of the Binocular Adapter For iPhone 5 will not come with a pair of binoculars, so you know what to do.
Do bear in mind that despite the name of this device being known as the "Binocular Adapter For iPhone 5" on Thinkgeek, it will still be able to be compatible with a couple of older generation iPhones, namely the iPhone 4 and iPhone 4S. It should hook up to most full-sized binoculars (8×32 mm, 8×42 mm, 10×42 mm, 10×50 mm), and each purchase is accompanied by an adapter case, a iPhone 4/4S conversion kit, and binocular eyepiece adapter.

When it comes to DSLRs, I guess you could say that for most of the ordinary, average Joes out there, it is a straight battle between Canon and Nikon, as advertisements from both camps have certainly set up a very enticing "battle", so to speak. Canon is back this time with a hard hitter of theirs, which would be known as the Canon EOS 70D, which we will look at in closer detail right after the jump.
The Canon EOS 70D is one DSLR that will target photo enthusiasts who want to take the next step in the right direction after moving on from their entry-level digital SLRs. It will boast of an innovative new Dual Pixel CMOS AF system, delivering instant and precise focusing of video in addition to still images, while also providing outstanding image quality and performance courtesy of its new 20.2 megapixel APS-C Canon CMOS sensor and Canon's superb DIGIC 5+ Image Processor.
With Canon's newly-developed Dual Pixel CMOS AF, this phase-detection autofocus (AF) technology that is located on the camera's image sensor plane, it will allow users to capture video with the new EOS 70D while offering quality that is close to one found on a dedicated camcorder. Dual Pixel CMOS AF would make use of a revolutionary CMOS sensor, where the entire gamut of effective pixels are able to perform both still imaging and phase-detection AF simultaneously, helping you achieve dramatically improved AF performance compared to other EOS cameras when you are undergoing Live View shooting, as well as when shooting video.
The Canon EOS 70D DSLR would also come with an integrated wireless transmitter that will offer users several connectivity options so that they can share their images in a jiffy. You will of course benefit from the free EOS Remote app from the Apple App Store or the Google Play store, letting you wirelessly transfer photos and videos from your camera to an iOS or Android-powered device. The Canon EOS 70D will play nice with the entire range of Canon EF and EF-S lenses, in addition to SD/SDHC/SDXC memory cards. It is tipped for a September release this year at $1199.00 for the body alone, while those who want an EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS STM lens to accompany it will have to fork out $1,349, or $1549.00 to have it come with the EF-S 18-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS STM lens.
So, you think that you have the best looking TV in the neighborhood, do you? Back in the day of chunky CRTs, it was flat screen TVs that ruled the roost, showing the rest of the world that you have arrived if you happened to have one of those flat Trinitrons from Sony, or the Panasonic Tau. After that, along came the LCD revolution, which was subsequently accompanied by plasma, and at a later time, LED and OLED, where all of these had a few common characteristics – extremely slim form factors and of course, the flat screen to offer a fantastic viewing experience. Well, it seems that the curve is back, although this time around, it will be in the inverse to those of chunky CRTs of yore, as Samsung recently made available their Curved OLED TV in Seoul, South Korea.
You could more or less say that the Curved OLED TV marks a new level in innovation which will be able to deliver immaculate true-to-life pictures regardless of the angle that you are viewing from, and neither does the vantage point matter that much as before, thanks to its unique curved display. Being carefully crafted to accentuate its 'Timeless Arena' design, the Samsung Curved OLED TV remains at the cutting edge of technology courtesy of the Multi View feature and the Evolution Kit.
Just what gives an OLED display an edge over the others? Well for starters, Curved OLED is capable of delivering flawless picture quality as it comprises of thousands of self-emitting diodes which are capable of offering richer and brighter images compared to existing TVs that are in the market. However, these would require complex production methods, and it is a task that Samsung is up for thanks to its technology which has the intention to eliminate the potential for defective pixels. All 70" of viewing glory can be yours for KRW 15 million, which roughly translates to $13, 230 after conversion. Would you go for a car, or a new Curved OLED TV?
