Are you one of us? No, we don’t mean that alien thing but we are referring to the internet revolution which has lured people from all walks of life. If you can’s survive without getting online even for a few hours then the 3G/4G mobile hotspot with Xfinity Internet 2go would be welcome news.

The gadget which is also known as MiFi 4082 has just been launched by Novatel Wireless. This is the solution to family and friends who are always on the go but who deem it very expensive to have their own wireless internet dongles when they are all in one place and can benefit from a single connection.

The MiFi 4082 is the answer to your prayers because this mobile hotspot will allow internet sharing for up to five devices that are WiFi-enabled. By connecting to the Xfinity Internet 2go service, you and the rest of the gang will now have high-speed internet even when you are in areas without 4G.

The best part about this pocket-sized router is its compact design and fast speed of up to 6Mbps when hooked on 4G. You can use the rechargeable router and get signal even within a 30-foot range. The MiFi 4082 will cost you $25 only but you have to get a corresponding Xfinity Internet 2go service plan. Comcast is offering Comcast high-speed internet users a cheap monthly rate of $40 with a monthly usage allowance of 5GB 3G, $15 less than what it normally costs nationwide.

You will be surprised to discover that it is easy to slip the device in your pocket so you can bring it anywhere and use it to connect your WiFi-enabled devices to the internet. Having your own MiFi4082 is actually much like having your own portable office because with this gadget, you can check your email and other online transactions anytime.

emWave2 Stress Reliever

 

Multiplying bills, skyrocketing gas prices… These are only some of the things that can get your blood pressure up and your stress levels high. So how will you know when it’s time to keep cool because you are about to top the red stress button? HeartMath gives you the answer by launching the emWave2 which is a nice follow up to the original emWave stress reliever.

While the emWave makes use of a sensor to determine if you are stressed or relaxed, emWave2 also works the same way but requires you to develop a breathing sequence based on your emotions and the rhythm of your heart. A pulse sensor collects your pulse data allowing emWave2 to translate the information into computer graphics so you know when you are angry or highly stressed.

The device helps you refocus your emotions such that you can sharpen your ability to divert stress by your own will. By using the technology for a few minutes every day, you will be able to transform anger and stress into peace. At this time when people regularly have stress for breakfast, lunch and dinner, it is important that you have some control over your emotions to keep your body and mind healthy.

What’s great about emWave2 is the option to work with a computer interface which allows you to store the information and track your progress in the process. However, you might suffer from more stress when you discover that the emWave2 is priced at $229. But then again, if that means peace of mind and more productivity then the price tag for this one-pound gadget which comes with a USB connector, ear sensor, software and a Quick Start Guide is well worth it!

Aeryon Labs VideoZoom10x Spycopter

 

If you ever had any doubts about the fidelity of your mate or even just the loyalty of your friend, then the Aeryon Scout spycopter with the new VideoZoom10x will either confirm your suspicions or erase your doubts the easiest way possible. Why hire a private investigator when the spycopter can be your very own spy?

This spy gadget was built by Aeryon Labs as an attachment to the Aeryon Scout lightweight quadrocopter. The VideoZoom10x is the nightmare of every cheating spouse or corporate people who are hiding something. If you still doubt the spying ability of this device then how about being able to see what a person is doing even if the person is 300 metres away from you?

This device proves that spying can be a pretty easy task if you know how and if you have the proper tools. Don’t worry about getting very hazy images or videos because it comes with image stabilization features to ensure clear images even if the Aeryon Scour is constantly on the move.The device is easy to use through the control interface which you can operate much like the other touchscreen devices. Spying is just one of the many professional applications the quadrotors are capable of. And if we are to believe the company that makes this device, it was instrumental in a Central American drug bust.

Apparently, the VideoZoom10x provided very clear surveillance footage of a narco-trafficker in a jungle setting.Don’t worry about the Scout getting lost in the wind or bad weather because it has a 50-kilometre maximum speed per hour and can survive even when faced with up to 80 k/hr gusts of winds.
