The “Boostaroo Revolution” is a cool new gadget that actually improves the quality of MP3’s. This portable inline MP3 amp is known as The Boostaroo Revolution?. This cool MP3 accessory is officially described as a Hi-Definition Portable Headphone Amplifier & Splitter. This MP3 enhancing gadget is the size of a cigar. The device actually works by digitally decompressing your compressed audio signals (MP3’s) into three separate audio channels, producing enhanced spatial imaging and a wider field of high definition sound. It also amplifies the volume of your MP3’s by about 400% and adds a surround sound effect, giving your music a cleaner and higher quality sound. This MP3 filter even works to improve low quality files. The other great thing about this MP3 enhancing gadget is that it is also a splitter, so you can share your MP3’s with a friend through the Boostaroo Revolution’s two headphone jacks. The device does run on 2 AAAA batteries but it is said to last for 22 hours.

This is obviously a great addition to your Ipod or other MP3 player. Boostaroo states that “the Revolution works with Read the rest of this entry »

Just came across this company that creates hidden chambers and pasageways. It looks like there are willing to pretty much design anything you can dream up. If you like secret rooms and hidden doors than you’ll want to check this out. They can actually custom design a switch that allows you to activate your automated feature any way you want! I saw everything from a pool table that came out of the floor, to a hidden safe behind a painting that moved when you twisted a vase, and a candlestick that you twist on your mantle to rotate the fireplace and reveal a hidden room. On of my favorites is an animated rendering of a couch were you lift up the cusion to reveal a spiral slide that leads to a secret room!

If you need even more security than just a “hidden room” or “secret chamber” this company can incorporate biometric security devices like fingerprint scanning, optical imaging devices and Read the rest of this entry »

Although the Sony Vaio UX is not much larger than a PDA don’t be fooled. The Sony Vaio UX is a full featured micro PC. The Vaio UX runs Window XP Professional, has an Intel core solo 1.2 GHz processor, a 30 GB hard drive, 512 MB of ram, wireless WAN/Lan, Bluetooth technology, a slide-out backlit keyboard, a 4.5? LCD touch screen, built-in microphone, various media slots and USB ports, and even a port replicator connector and two built-in cameras (one mounted on the front and on facing the user). Amazingly all these features are stuffed into this micro PC that weights only 1.1 lbs! (I want one!)

The Sony Vaio UX costs between about $1,800 and $2,200 depending on which of the three models you get. The three models are:
1) Sony VAIO UX90S (Intel Core Solo U1400 1.2GHz, 512MB RAM, 30GB HD, English WinXP HOME, Bluetooth, English Keyboard, Compact Flash Slot)

Another awsome feature is that they are equipped with a fingerprint scanning Read the rest of this entry »

I just came across this cool gadget for your iPod. Its an iPod home dock that (like most other docks) lets you charge, sync, and play your iPod through your TV or sound system. However, the coolest feature is that the DLO HomeDock Deluxe is the world’s first iPod dock that lets you view and select your iPod’s music on your TV screen. You can navigate, select, and play your songs using the included 18-button remote control. The iPod HomeDock Deluxe’s small and easy to use remote and on screen TV interface seems to be pretty user friendly. The iPod/TV interface even Read the rest of this entry »
