Action Cameras are the current rave now

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Fri, 03 Jan 2014 07:48:00 +0000

Above is the marketing video for the action camera GoPro Hero3.
Makes you feel like you can instantly become instantly sexy and become an expert of :

Snowboarding
Skiing
Motorbike Racing
Scuba Diving
Skydiving
Surfing
Parkour
White water rafting
and other extreme outdoor sports

but in reality it'd probably be like these videos below

And yes, spending $600 on an action cam does not make you sexy or sporty or an instant expert in outdoor sports.

A clone tablet that is surpasses mainstream Android tablets

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Mon, 10 Jun 2013 03:56:00 +0000

For anyone wanting to buy a tablet, most will usually shun at the thought of clones that are "Made in China" (MIC). Once it is known that the tablet is a MIC tablet and the branding logo is unheard of, we'd usually brand it as unreliable and of poor support.

However, we tend to forget that nowadays, almost all electronics are MIC, even the big brands such as Apple, HTC, Asus have manufacturing plants(or outsourced) in China producing their smartphones, laptops and tablets.

With the high number of devices being made there in contract plants and factories, it is no wonder when cheap remakes of the original models are produced with lower specifications but with a similar outlook. Seen here at Ubergizmo comparing the Samsung Note 2 with its clone counterpart that looks identical but with inferior specifications. Only the appearance count for some.

That being said, there is also a genuine demand for tablets with better specifications regardless of the branding. And in the month of May 2013, Yuandao(原道), a company that has been producing their own brand of tablets for some time, actually came out with a tablet that is reasonably priced with specifications that surpasses some of the major brands.

The Vido Mini-One is claimed to have a slimmer profile than the Ipad Mini, and with the weight of 300g, it is quite the tablet to carry around effortlessly. Though shamelessly taking after the form factor of the Ipad Mini, this MIC tablet does not have any front facing buttons.

The IPS screen is also another feature that is desirable with a wider angle of viewing and colors that are more brilliant and vivid. According to the Yuandao website, the screen bezel is also thinner around the screen's edges, ie more viewable area compared to the Ipad Mini.

This tablet runs on a lesser known processor aka Rockchip. However, in terms of the processor architecture, it is still largely ARM. The Rockchip Quad Core(rk3188) processor on this tablet is a Cortex A9 processor of 1.8GHz with 28nm process technology. It comes 2gb ram and 16gb built in flash storage and a Micro-SD slot that supports up to 32gb cards.

With a 4000mah battery and only wifi connectivity, the tablet seems to be quite light on power consumption, likely due to the 28nm process technology.

After using the tablet for 3 days, the only negative thing I have to say about this tablet would be it's wifi range. Compared to my other hand held devices, the Vido Mini-One is more prone to disconnecting with my wifi access point at the same range of distances. Perhaps a future firmware update may solve the issue.

This tablet will almost definitely appeal to those whom are into the aesthetics as the appearance of the tablet very much resembles the Ipad Mini. Techies will be attracted to the Quad Core CPU that benchmarks higher than some of the other Quad Core CPUs such as the Tegra 3.

To see the full specifications and features of the Vido Mini-One, please head on to the company's product page here.

"Look Ma, No Strings" The Misa Digital Guitar

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Mon, 25 Jan 2010 01:02:00 +0000

This is a cool guitar. No strings

Misa Digital Guitar comes without any string. It is a Linux-powered MIDI controller that comes with 24 frets and a multi-functions touch display. Watch the demo after the break.

“In electronic music, the timbre (or color) of sound can be morphed in an infinite number of ways. For a guitar to accommodate this, the right hand needs more control than just plucking strings. You need to be able to control elements of the sound, such as sustain, pitch, filter cutoffs, contour or any other synthesizer parameter, in a way that has no physical constraints. There are no strings on this instrument. The right hand doesn’t pluck strings, it controls sound.”

Pepwave Surf Mini to tackle WIFI inadequacies

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Tue, 19 Jan 2010 04:48:00 +0000

Nice little gadget if your existing wifi signal is too weak for your big house.

Pepwave Surf Mini to tackle WIFI inadequacies: "Pepwave has a little nifty gadget, aka Pepwave Surf Mini, that can do many wireless mini-miracles...

For US$99 MSRP, it can (** see below for applications summary diagram)

1) Act as an independent access point to add wireless connectivity to your network

2) Act as a repeater to re-broadcast existing wifi signal, increasing coverage and reliability

3) Act as a Wifi dongle to industrial devices with only Ethernet connectivity

Last but not least, it has the option of adding high gain external antennas to the device. And this feature allows for long distance point to point connections to be made with 2 x US$99 Pepwave Surf Mini. There are some real-life references of up to 0.75 of a mile by means of 15 dB antennas on both sides.

Now imagine what a 23dB panel antenna could do..

HD3 Complicated Black Pearl Watch

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Mon, 18 Jan 2010 04:18:00 +0000

Looks more complicated than James Bond watches from "Q".

All I need is a watch that tells time.

HD3 Complicated Black Pearl Watch: Pirate-Inspired, Costs Plenty of Booty [Watches]: "
'Excuse me, sir, but do you have the time?' 'Why yes, yes I do.' 'Well, what is it then?' 'Menacing.'
Anyway, that's how I see that conversation going down if, by some slim chance in the near future, I'm wearing this $400,000 watch and some curious chap asks me for the time. I'd be wearing an eye patch while drunk, if that helps you visualize the encounter any better.

Designed by Fabrice Gonet, the Black Pearl is a limited run timepiece that includes a number of subtle pirate-themed additions, including the prerequisite skull and bones (etched in glass on the back), a tiny cannon, and some nautical navigation touches. Then there's the fact that it costs as much as some pirate's treasure...

There were only eleven made, each with the aforementioned $400,000 asking price. [FLYLYF via technabob]
