When we do stumble outside, it’s with one of these Oregon Scientific ATC5K rugged helmet cams attached to our heads, now that they’re available in Australia, and if that doesn’t make us hardcore, we don’t know what does… More »

Oregon Scientific Delivers Watch for Serious Weather Addicts
7:49AM Sean Fallon | When it comes to forecasting the weather, I often think that sticking a moistened finger into the air is about as accurate as all of that fancy doppler radar. However, there is no shortage of weather addicts out there that religiously check the news and treat weathermen like they were friggin’ prophets. It appears that Oregon Scientific has developed a weather forecasting watch made specifically for these types of people. More »

Oregon Scientific Weather In Motion Clock Keeps an Eye on You and the Weather
1:12AM Charlie White | Here’s Oregon Scientific’s next trick with atomic alarm clocks that tell you the old in/out temperature and forecast, and this one has a motion sensor that reacts to your presence. When you’re viewing the Oregon Scientific Weather In Motion from a distance, it tells you the day of the week and the time in big numerals, with an icon showing you its interpretation of the weather forecast. Move a little closer, and it helpfully gives you more info about the inside and outside temperature (gathered from a wireless module), moving the time data to a smaller size. If you’d rather not feel like you’re under surveillance by a goddamn clock, set it to dissolve between one display and the other every five seconds. Neat stuff for 50 bucks.

Star Wars Darth Vader Laptop Helps Kids Gain Empire U. Enrollment
10:00AM Seamus Byrne | Who better to teach your kids than the Dark Lord of the Sith? This Star Wars Darth Vader Laptop is geared toward young, malleable minds (and, secretly, the rest of us) and employs a lightsaber-shaped pointing device to select from 50 different games. Children can expect to have their memory, typing abilities, and coordination tested, while building their reflexes and musical talents. The product description makes no mention of what Force powers the laptop teaches, but, true to Vader’s usual antics, “breathtaking activities” are hinted at. Parents need to provide three AA batteries for the laptop to work and there is a headphone jack for quiet play. The provided lightsaber might not cut through any material in the galaxy, but it does make noise when it’s moved around. Interestingly, your child can also choose to learn as a Jedi, though Vader still acts as the teacher. Yeah, we all know how that’ll turn out. [Oregon Scientific] More »
