GPS Locator from Keruve
July 18, 2008
As time moves on we tend to become more reliant on technology. Some of the technology helps us be more productive while other technology keeps us safe. The GPS Locator falls in to a safety category. What the Keruve GPS Locator does is allow you to fit your child with a wrist band which has a GPS tracker built in. The parent of the child then carries around a small TomTom sized GPS receiver which is capable of showing the location, to with in a few feet, of the child. Should your child go missing you just switch on the locator and go direct to them.
The locator band is water resistant and requires a special tool to be removed from the wrist. This helps keep even more security as the child would be stuck with the band on their wrist till you take it off for them.
Information is a bit scarce at the moment. But from what I can work out it seems to use GSM and triangulation should the GPS system fail for some reason or another. If marketed right, I think this product has GREAT potential.

Flash of Genius - Trailer 1

Flash of Genius - Trailer 1 Based on the true story of college professor and part-time inventor Robert Kearns’ (Greg Kinnear) long battle with the U.S. automobile industry, Flash of Genius tells the tale of one man whose fight to receive recognition for his ingenuity would come at a heavy price. But this determined engineer refused to be silenced, and he took on the corporate titans in a battle that nobody thought he could win. The Kearns were a typical 1960s Detroit family, trying to live their version of the American Dream. Local university professor Bob married teacher Phyllis (Lauren Graham) and, by their mid-thirties, had six kids who brought them a hectic but satisfying Midwestern existence. When Bob invents a device that would eventually be used by every car in the world, the Kearns think they have struck gold. But their aspirations are dashed after the auto giants who embraced Bob’s creation unceremoniously shunned the man who invented it. Ignored, threatened and then buried in years of litigation, Bob is haunted by what was done to his family and their future. He becomes a man obsessed with justice and the conviction that his life’s work-or for that matter, anyone’s work-be acknowledged by those who stood to benefit. And while paying the toll for refusing to compromise his dignity, this everyday David will try the unthinkable: to bring Goliath to his knees. Directed by: Marc Abraham Starring: Greg Kinnear, Lauren Graham, Dermot Mulroney, Alan Alda |
Face the Task - Nokia N96
July 16, 2008
With the upcoming launch of the Nokia N96 a new promotion has been launched named Face the Task. The site gives you the opportunity to win a limited edition N96 mobile phone and to top it off, you will receive the phone before your country’s official launch.
Various tasks are needed to be completed to have your chance at winning this stunning mobile phone. The face the task site is very “Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon” looking and is great fun to work through the tasks for the chance to win. I’d recommend acting quickly though as there isn’t long left for the official launch and you wouldn’t want to miss out on the competition.
Give it a shot now over at Face the Task.
For those of you who missed the N96 review earlier this week, the specs are simply impressive which include geo-tagging your photos with the built in GPS unit, TV tuner and a massive 16GB of memory to store music, video and everything else.
