Cool Gizmos – Gizmora

Every woman likes to include a dedicated computer or a system in her kitchen’s list, especially, when she is experimenting with a new formula from one of her favorite website or food blogs.

We see most of them struggling to set up their systems in the kitchen, and some use laptops. To avoid spilling and other accidents in kitchen, they cover the keyboard with a towel. After conducting a small survey, A French Company has decided to come up with a device that helps women in carrying out their ideas in kitchen.

So after going through several brainstorming sessions, they came up with an idea of kitchen computer and introduced the ‘Qooq’ a complete new style of a computer, exclusively created to use in the kitchen.

The term ‘Qooq’ is pronounced as ‘cook’

Features:

• This has a glass touch screen, which can be easily cleaned.
• It comes with, ten chef-presented recipe videos and 500 preloaded recipes.
• The cost ranges between $ 505 to $ 520, for initial recipes and the device.
• The monthly updates are available for just twenty dollars.

One disadvantage is that there is no web browser and the recipes, which are loaded onto the device, are limited.

With the PMA 2007 show coming up the first PMA rumors are showing up in the numerous Internet forums and blogs. One of the rumors is a possible new Sony Cybershot digital camera introduction; the Sony Cybershot DSC-W80. Although the information is not official yet, the image of the Sony W80 seems to be an official product shot. Since we are not working under NDA with Sony nor have we given any inside information, we feel free to share our findings, like the unofficial news of the Sony DSC W80 camera, with you. It seems that the new Sony Cyber-shot W80 incorporates a 7.2 effective Megapixel CCD image sensor and a 3x optical zoom lens with a focal length of 35 – 105mm (equivalent with 35 mm camera).
       First information learns that the new Sony Cybershot W80 has a very slim housing and compact dimensions. Normally we would expect a Cybershot camera to use Memory Stick media as their main storage medium so it would be logical to claim the Sony W80 is using Memory Duo or Memory Stick Pro Duo for storage. The new Cybershot camera looks very similar to that of the Sony Cybershot W55 camera that was introduced in January, but well we may see some innovative features hidden inside the Sony W80.

A Bartow County couple will go before a magistrate judge today to see if they will be arrested for allegedly stalking a Kennesaw police officer by installing cameras to track neighborhood speeders.
     Lee and Teresa Sipple spent $1,200 mounting three video cameras and a radar speed unit outside their home, which is at the bottom of a hill. They have said they did so in hopes of convincing neighbors to slow down to create a safe environment for their son.
     The Sipples allegedly caught Kennesaw police officer Richard Perrone speeding up to 17 mph over the speed limit. Perrone alerted Bartow authorities, who in turn visited the Sipples’ home to tell them Perrone intended to press charges against them for stalking.

The Killer K1 is priced as low as $149.99 after rebates, and will be “available for a limited time from selected e-tailers,” the company said.
     The card features a 333-MHz version of the company’s N1 network processing unit and 64 Mbytes of on-board RAM. The card lacks the “Flexible Network Architcture” capability of the original Killer card, although consumers can pay $30 to “upgrade” to this feature, the company said, apparently with a downloadable firmware upgrade.
      However, the original Killer card did not come highly recommended. In an ExtremeTech review, consumers were recommended to spend their money elsewhere. “Honestly, there’s just no way we can recommend the Killer NIC,” Jason Cross wrote. “It’s an incredibly interesting idea, and it makes academic sense, but we’re just not seeing the benefit. Even if it worked really well and we saw big benefits, you have to ask yourself if you would be better spending $279 on other computer components that would benefit every game you play and even other general tasks.”
