The Park ‘N Place Garage Parking Aid

It was a long time before I became used to actually parking my car in a garage and everyone has their tricks for dealing with getting in far enough. The most common one I’ve seen is hanging a tennis ball from the ceiling, but that trick has its own list of problems. You have to make sure it’s hung at just the right spot, which can be a little more tedious than utilizing a gadget such as this.

Just place it on the ground at the spot you need it, which is a touch more simple than trying to hang something from the ceiling. Then when you’re pulling in, you have a big red indicator to let you know how far you can pull in. To top it off, once your car bumps the sign, it has flashing lights that will go off on contact. It’s also on a flexible stand, so you won’t have to worry about breaking the gadget. There’s no assembly required and the batteries are included. You can purchase it from Vat19 for $16.95.

Nintendo black Wii

Nintendo is releasing a whole new Wii, it’s far far different than the old Wii. This one is shiny, new and all black. None of that bright white will be featured on this Wii, it’s gotten a bit of a makeover. They’re probably trying to make it appeal to the hardcore gamers, because everyone knows jet black consoles are far cooler. There’s probably some scientific reason behind it, I hear even the Xbox plays better when it’s painted black.

Alright, so that’s all bull, but you have to admit, the Wii is looking pretty good covered in all black. Not that the pearly white didn’t look good, but it’s a refreshing change. This black console is being released in Japan actually, as of the first of August. They had mentioned they would eventually be releasing this black console, but now that it’s getting closer they’re showing off the new packaging. There isn’t a release date for the rest of the world though. Actually, they aren’t really saying much of anything about whether or not they’ll ever release it so that the rest of us can buy one too.

Blackberry Storm 9500

The Storm 9500 sees RIM taking it further by adding a full touch screen (the first Blackberry without keys and their attempt at an iPhone killer). It also has more multimedia emphasis than usual for a Blackberry - with a fantastic 480 x 360 pixel display, 3.2 Mega pixel camera, 1GB on board storage and video support for MPEG4 H.263, MPEG4 Part 2 Simple Profile, H.264, WMV.

Microsoft Window 7(a quick look up)

Vista didn’t really do Windows brand any justice and Microsoft have responded with promising a release or a new operating system in 2009 - Microsoft Window 7. There are loads of benefits to this new system and from looking at the Beta it seems to fix a lot of the problems with Vista. Some of the new functions to look out for:

• Improved task bar with full screen preview.
  This has always been a problem with users who open on average of 7 - 15 windows at once. I love the invisible window option.
• Jump Lists
  A nice convenient way to reach recent files or files you want to access often.
• New User Interface
  There is a bunch of new copy and paste features, more open, re-size, close, maximise, arrange windows options - but it still has the familiar windows style (in fact it does look branding wise just like Vista).
• Internet Explorer 8
  Mozilla 3 is currently my choice of browser having lost my patience with IE7 and memory issues. IE7 is still much quick at opening that Mozilla but the overall experience isn’t as good. IE8 plans to fixs this and pull back some of the market share it is losing. Some new functions to look out for with this release are;
  • Accelerators Highlight text or info from a page and select from a number of online services like address look up and
  • Webslices
    Which monitors changes to websites like weather, sport scores etc.
• Improved Device Management
  A single device windows to manage all devices on a computer and Device Stage which allows you to interact better with devices seeing it’s status and run common tasks.
• Home Group
  Home groups is a easy way to setup a home network. Microsoft has managed to make this extremely simple to share files, videos or music but with more security.
• Faster and increased performance
• Extended battery life for laptops and portable devices
• Action Center to sort problems easier
• Windows Touch
  After all Microsoft’s work on their touchscreen devices and tables of recent this should be a great feature albeit I think devices that start using this will take a while to appear. The problems with touch screens like the Eee PC is that your arms starts to ache after extended use - but it is great for quick tasks like selecting a film, sending an email or checking some news.
• Improved Voice and Handwriting recognition

New Intel Chip - Codename Nehalem(Intel Core i7)

This is the next generation of chip sets from Intel - codenamed Nehalem. It brings a critical change not just to the processor but also in the way it communicates with memory and other processors. Intel have branded this as the QuickPath Interconnect (or QPI). QuickPath involves two main ingredients - one is a built-in component called a memory controller that is separate on today’s Intel chips; integrating this memory controller reduces communication delays in transferring data to and from memory. All in all this should mean a dramatic increase in memory latency and bandwidth improvements with initial reports of as much as 3 times performance increases on today chipsets. They are expecting to sell “Nehalem” processors with 8 cores on a single slice of silicon in 2009.

Nokia 5800

Nokia have been the top seller of mobile phones for a long time now and want to revive the market with their Nokia 5800 / N97 touch screen phone - their effective iPhone killers (Nokia N97 N-series touch phone has already been announced and released this year). From Q3 2007 to Q3 2008 they lost 15.4% of the market share, dropping to 35%, due mainly to the iPhone. With the release of the Apple iPhone it has caused a ripple in the market and mobile phone manufacturers have realised that they need to raise their game. Blackberry have out their Storm 9500 (bottom of top 10) which will be a hot gadget of 2009 (once it gets the firmware it needs to speed up navigation) and will be available before the end of the year. Sony have their X1 touch phone out which, if it was running Google Android, would probably be my number 1 - as it is gorgeous to look at. But since the X1 has Windows Mobile 6 and is therefore rather slow and clunky, it’s not.Now Nokia released it Nokia 5800.

Specification - The 5800 has all that you would expect from Nokia including finally support for flash:

• Symbian 9.4 Series 60 5th Edition
• Quad-Band 850/900/1800/1900MHz
• HSDPA (3.6 Mbits) / GPRS Class 32 / Wi-Fi (IEEE 802.11g)
• Bluetooth (2.0)
• 3.2 mega-pixel Carl Zeiss Optics camera
• microSDHC card slot
• 640 x 320 pixels - 3.2 inch touch screen display
• 30fps Video Recording
• Supported formats: MP4, 3GP, H.264, Flash, H.263 WMV & Real Player
