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.

The newest, smallest, and what will become the most often used appliance in the kitchen has finally arrived! SmartShopper Electronics, Inc. announced today that their revolutionary new product “SmartShopper” is now available for sale to both consumers as well as retail partners. “We just returned from the 2007 International Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas with the ‘design and engineering’ award and we were named one of the top ten new products at the show,” stated company President and co-founder, Rick Brindisi. The SmartShopper is a voice activated shopping assistant. Any member of the family can simply walk up to it, press a button and say the name of an item they want at the grocery store. Their list is displayed in large, easy to read text on the LCD. When you are ready to shop, simply press “print” and your list comes right out of this unit!
     Are you ready for the best news yet? The printed list is categorized for you! When you get to the store you can see exactly what you need in each section of the store.

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.”

OMG! This is just what we geeks need, another USB flash drive that holds a smell in addition to flash memory. Debreu has a new high speed flash drive that uses USB 2.0 sporting not only storage space from 128MB to 1GB , but a bamboo motif cleverly hiding a disk that holds your favorite scent for up to two hours of use. This may be the perfect valentine’s gift for the aunt that smells like cabbage. At least for a few hours anyway she will smell better. That is assuming she knows what a flash drive is.

InPhase Technologies has begun bulk shipping of its 300GB holographic storage disks and drives, the firm said yesterday. The Tapestry HDS-300R drive costs $18,000, with the 1.5mm-thick platters running to $180 a piece. The firm already claims a series of high profile customers, including Turner Broadcasting, the US Geological Survey, and Lockheed Martin.
      InPhase marketing VP Liz Murphy said: “We’ve also tried to make it as easy to integrate as possible from a software perspective. So it can emulate a DVD, CD-R, magnetic optical disc or tape drive. So software companies don’t have to do any major changes to write to it in native mode.”

With 1GB of integrated memory, the metallic midnight blue DS-50 offers a truly staggering recording time; over 275 hours in LP mode and over 17 hours even in highest-quality STXQ stereo mode. Of course, you can leave some of that capacity free for your favourite MP3 or WMA tunes, downloaded podcasts or enthralling audio books – all easily navigable via either voice guidance or the intuitive menu sys

SanDisk have unveiled their JEDEC-standard iNAND embedded flash drive standard, capable of capacities up to 8GB.
     iNAND is compatible with the SD bus and commands, and is designed for use with applications such as mobile TV and multimedia storage, gaming, GPS and PDA applications. The new JEDEC (Joint Electron Device Engineering Council) standard hardware interface and integrated smart flash management software means that the drive can be easily used with mobile devices.
     “At 8GB, iNAND, with its new JEDEC standard ball-out which is also supported by a wide range of other consumer electronics products, opens up a new range of opportunities for iNAND beyond the millions of mobile handsets and consumer electronics products where it is already used,” said David Tolub, VP and co-manager of the Mobile Handset Vendor business unit at SanDisk
