Portable LCD

Remember back in the day with the big blocks of "portable Tv's" That never did seem to have a clear picture? This was in the 90s and I remember having one and I was so excited that I could watch my t.v. shows ALMOST everywhere. haha I actually remember watching family matters series on that thing. Now they have a portable LCD that seems to be a lot clearer than our 90s product! Cnet actually says that the LCD is "Affordable, compact portable LCD digital TV with 7-inch wide-screen display; built-in rechargeable battery; receives analog and digital over-the-air and unscrambled cable channels; clear picture quality when you can get a signal; includes remote and second, more powerful antenna; built-in kickstand for easy table viewing." I'm actually thinking about getting this in the near future, I know I'm going to need it. The only thing that sucks about it is that the battery life is kind of weak for a tv show. I'm guessing from what I read, that you could only watch about 4 sit coms and it'll die. haha

3D Coming to Your Home!

So what's next for American's to expect for the latest invention? I'm pretty sure that someone has come up with this invention of a 3D illusion for your very own home. I thought in this picture that I found that you could use it to make an illusion of a fire that is actually happening. I think with this kind of invention, you could watch DVDs that are available in 3D at home (movies like for example UP!) I think that this is a great new thing that could be added to the family home. This could add more family time because it's such a new thing. Other than that, I do believe that this will be a little pricey for today's downfall of economics. But as the economy worsens, the forecast for the TV market is looking grim. The LCD TV market is only expected to grow about 17 percent in terms of units shipped in 2009, according to research firm DisplaySearch. This is down from growth of about 29 percent in 2008. Plasma TV growth is also expected to suffer with the market only expected to grow by about 5 percent in 2009 compared with a 24 percent rise in 2008, DisplaySearch said.

I really do like this idea and hope that it comes out soon! (=

Wii Fit

I've had this game for awhile now, and I absolutely love it. I always put off writing about it. Me and my brother got it for my mother's birthday, but everyone can benefit off from it. It has yoga (yoga mat is separate), snowboarding, skate boarding, and aerobics. I was pretty excited when we bought this, and couldn't wait to try it out. The Wii Fit is for everyone who basically needs to get in shape, and you can cheat on here, but why would you want to? I admit I cheated the first couple of times. haha Only because I was out of shape. If anyone of you has a Wii or is thinking about getting a Wii, take Wii Fit into consideration! It's an awesome program and Nintendo has outdone itself dramatically. "Wii Fit takes the whole concept of games as exercise to a new level with the inclusion of a balance board peripheral that can tell you on the fly exactly how well--or how poorly--you're doing with its various activities." -Cnet

Honda's sexy new CR-Z Hybrid

Wow. That's really what I said when I first saw this picture. I didn't even read the article first but gazed at the picture with amazement. Honda is doing it big for sure. It doesn't even look anything like a Honda anymore! It's different from any other cars you see on the road. I'm not a big fan of the wide mouth in the front but hey that's just me. I'm not a car person but if I saw this on the freeway I would have thought it was a sister car of a Lamborghini! Okay a little over the top with that part but still, it looks so futuristic!
This Honda CR-Z Hybrid will be launched in Japan in February 2010. After a year later or so, it will be launched in North America and Europe. How exciting!
The CR-Z is seen as a modern interpretation of the popular CR-X of the 1980s which in HF trim was the most fuel efficient car available in America for several years. It's not known whether Honda will use the same 1.3-liter engine/IMA combination from the Insight or something a bit more powerful. We can probably expect to learn more at this fall's Tokyo Motor Show.

App Store Turns 1

I think that the App store opened a lot of possibilties to the phone. Now the iPhone isn't just a phone anymore, it's more than a phone. It could be your calculator, your camera, your decision on where to eat, your gps, your time consumement, etc. The list goes on. There is tons and tons of applications that you could download that will better satisfy the the consumer. There are many categories for the app store not just games. There's something for everyone! The app store has over 50,000 apps (personally I thought that it would be more) haha but the list goes on on what you could do with your phone. I don't think that Tmobile's G1 can deal with that, they might come close to the app store out of everyone else, but I don't really think that everyone could out do Apple

Bluetooth Bike Speaker

In today's society, just about everything is hightech, even when it comes to your bike. Yes, believe it. I couldn't! haha As a person who rides her bike a lot for exercise, this is a great invention and very handy. I hate working out while having my earphone wires in the way. It's such a hassle! I think that there are many ways of putting those wires away, but you know it will never work. The only downfall is if you're riding around with your music on, all the music can be heard by everyone around you. On Cnet.com, they state that it has loud enough speakers to drown out the sound of traffic, but the sound isn't all great. Anyways, I think that this is a great invention that new technology has shown us. I can't wait to see what ordinary people will think of next! (= Enjoy.

Things Still Missing from the Macbook

As a Macbook owner, I don't think a lot things are missing from it. When I found this article, I just thought first, what could be missing from the Apple Macbook? The only thing I could think of is a memory card insertion for cameras and such. But as for a touch screen genius company, we are all still waiting for Apple to come out with a Macbook that has touch screen features. I wish that they could have it so we could use windows as well (which you can, but not for free). I've had my Macbook since November, and it still runs pretty fast. I'm very impressed on how fast it is compared to a PC. They don't mention that in those PC commercials! Which piss me off, because the only reason why they are cheaper is because Vista sucks ass, and they catch viruses easily. Simple enough MAC > PC. I think another thing that is missing from the Macbook, is the backlights for the keyboard. Now I didn't go ahead and say the Macbook Pro, I said the Macbook. I was totally unaware when I bought the Macbook, there wasn't going to be any back lights. Other than that, I pretty much can't think of anything that is obvious missing from the Macbook.
