Enjoy the thrills and the rush of a Formula One car without the fear of colliding into anything at 200mph. This life size simulator is not only designed to look like a true race car and through the use of high-end technology the driver will feel as though they were behind the wheel of a race car on a race track without ever moving. As the driver, you will be in full control and will require you to take all the actions as if you were truly in the driver’s seat of a race car; you will need to hit the gas pedal to accelerate and hit the brakes when needed, not to mention the force you will feel within the steering wheel…

We all love books and some are not ready to transfer completely over to audio book downloads quite yet or perhaps the book is not available in audio, either way one pet peeve is reading a book and coming across a word you do not know or understand. Pulling out a dictionary is not quite as glamorous as it once was and when studying for a test the last thing you need is to lug around another book. …

Chatting online has long advanced from simple text to voice and video chatting; even MSN will soon bid us a farewell as its presence has become outdated due to VOIP tools such as Skype. We not only like to easily connect with friends and family near and far via our computers and tablets but want them to hear us loud and clear. Today’s computers come with built-in cameras, speakers and microphones (which by the way was once a luxury for those youngens out there), but it doesn’t take a pro to realize before long that though they are great to have they do not necessarily do the purpose any justice, the…

The “laser sword” we have come to know and love from the Star Wars movies, the Lightsaber, is the signature weapon used between a Jedi and a Sith, basically the weaponry used to counteract good vs. evil. Spanning back to 1977 when we were first introduced to the blade of plasma used to deflect blaster bolts and leave the defeated wounded with cauterized flesh, this pioneering form of combat was futuristic then and still remains ultramodern today. Although a true Lightsaber does not yet exist, there are other forms it does come in such as Star Wars toys and gimmicks and can now be a part of your entry…

If bigger is better, the Panasonic might just be the best at CES this week. The portable tablet may just be the largest of its kind and the insane resolution – 4k – is unmatched. At less than half an inch thick, this device would target professionals on the go with it’s pen interface and visually-stunning display. We don’t know a lot about it yet, but expect it to be pricy. According to TheVerge: With such a pixel-dense display, you’d get incredibly detailed control using a stylus, and most of the company’s on-stage demos showed how much you can do with so many pixels. It may not be the biggest surface device…

Three challenges that accompany many PCs are cooling, noise, and aesthetics. They need a cool place to operate if you want to run many programs, they get loud, and they look ugly. All of these problems are solved by the AquariusPC. There are three designs named after cool cities around the world – Miami, Bali, and Marrakech – though the only real difference we’ve seen is the color. Don’t let that minor design flaw bother you – the aesthetic might not match a city but it definitely makes a statement. Completely submerged in water, these computers seem to operate just fine and with both cooling and noise…

At first I thought this idea was bizarre since traditionally massages included your feet, neck or back, so my initial instinct was to think of having my eyes or head messaged as a little odd. Then I began thinking of how much time we spend at our computers, straining our eyes, keeping our heads in one direction, but never did I think of getting a massager for them. In fact, I had no idea they even existed, especially beyond simply being a concept design, but sure enough there is an optical and head massager that is long past concept to purchasable, and its purpose will relax and rejuvenate you. …

One of our many New Year’s resolutions should be to keep our computers cleaner as they are a germ fest that spread viruses continuously. Many who work in an office environment should already be a little more aware of wiping down keyboards but that is not where the dirt begins or ends. …

There are more iPhone docking stations and accessories out there than you can shake a stick at. There are far more docks for Apple phones than any other smartphone on the market and this now too will be the envy of any non-apple cell phone consumer. …

If you are a bacon lover, as most Internet users are, then you already know how glorifying it is to wake up to the smell of the bacon aroma wafting in the air. It most certainly will get you out of bed faster than an alarm clock and fill your soul with some bacony deliciousness. A concept design of a bacon alarm clock that allows you to awaken every morning to the smell of a bacon breakfast is surprisingly not in mass production. Even the wooden alarm is carved to look like the fabulous animal in which creates the yummy bacon we so desire. Anyone who would say no to this idea would be like saying they don’t like…
