TV-B-Gone Remote Control



Here comes a universal remote control that functions in two ways. First, it has a power button that allows switching a TV on or off. Second, the device is handy that easily fits the pocket.




As stated in http://www.widgetsandgadgets.com/home-appliances.html, there are more TV’s in the world than there are houses. Thus, bears the fact that the world indeed has already too much TV’s.

There is no big deal against these idiot boxes, although sometimes television is more of a pain in the neck rather than a pleasure most especially if you are not the one holding the remote control. Couples and kids may fight over each other for the TV set and escalated to greater household wars.

Now there's a solution: the TV-B-Gone. This small keychain wonder is designed to turn off virtually any television. Invented by Mitch Altman, a former Silicon Valley entrepreneur, the TV-B-Gone is a simple remote control device with a single button. When activated, the unit emits 209 different turn-off codes for nearly every TV. The unit takes a little more than a minute to cycle through all of the turn-off codes, but fortunately, codes for the most common TVs are emitted first. And because it's small, unassuming, and attaches to your key ring, you can always be discreet about offing that off-putting talking head.

How it Works:

  1. Point it at a TV set.
  2. Press the button ( no need to hold the button down)
  3. Keep pointing it at the TV until the TV turns off ( which may take up to 69 seconds)

TV-B-Gone keychain remote control then increased sense of wellbeing, less anxiety, more time for productive activity, and more satisfying social interactions.

Canon EOS 30D

As what this website features, http://www.widgetsandgadgets.com/canon-EOS-30D.html

Digital Single-Lens Reflex (DSLR) cameras are becoming more accessible to the masses. But with increasing features through large scale integration circuitry, the feature-to-price ratio is becoming more eye-catching to amateurs and enthusiast.

Canon, a major player in the world of professional photography world, introduced their latest DLSR, the EOS 30D.

The EOS 30D is equipped with picture styles that allow anyone to create photos for various purposes.

The speed and image quality of this Canon’s award winning CMOS sensor technology triggered me to buy a camera for myself.

It maximizes speed and image quality by processing uncompromisingly complex color rendition algorithms, clearing the buffer at high speed.

The EOS 30D then has these following features:

  • 8.2 Megapixel APS-C size CMOS sensor
  • 5 fps and 30 large JPEG frame burst
  • 2.5”, 230K pixel, 170ยบ wide viewing angle LCD screen
  • Picture Style image processing parameters
  • Spot metering and High Precision 9-point AF system
  • DIGIC II image processor with 0.15 sec start-up time
  • Digital Photo Professional RAW processing software
  • 100,000 cycle shutter durability and rugged magnesium alloy body
  • Simultaneous RAW and JPEG recording
  • Wide 100-3200 ISO range
  • E-TTL II Flash
  • PictBridge compatibility
  • Complete compatibility with all Canon EF and EF-S lenses and EX-series Speedlites
  • USB 2.0 Hi-Speed and Video Out connectivity

“A rapidly expanding population of serious and semi-commercial creative photographers is helping drive EOS growth,” said Mogens Jensen, Head of Canon Consumer Imaging Europe.

Creative Zen Vision

Creative labs have a history of turning out great MP3 players, and the Zen V is no exception.

The Creative Zen V is a 1 GB, flash MP3 player, mid-priced at around $85 on the market.
It is the same as the Zen V Plus except without an FM radio or video playback.

According to the manufacturer this player will last approximately 15 hours between charges; run-time will vary based on use and power management configuration. Flash players like this are ideal for people who use their players in more active listening environments.

Pros and Cons:
It offers a pocket-friendly design and the vivid OLED display is viewable from any angle. The player packs nice features, such as voice and line-in recording, photo playback, and compatibility with subscription WMA tracks.

The joystick is really small and has a cheap feel to it. The screen is difficult to see in bright sunlight, and there is no UMS support. You do not get the FM radio and video playback found on the Plus version.

Summary and Recommendations
According to http://www.widgetsandgadgets.com/creativezen-vision.html Creative’s Zen Vision is an impressive second entry into the portable media player market, following the company’s first effort, the Creative Zen Portable Media Center.
