As we’re all aware, there are televisions where we watch local programming as well as cable TV shows which are viewable on your television. This massive amount of content is also available online as well as content produced solely for the web which are viewable on your computer. It is only natural to combine the two and convert your television into a “home theater pc”.

That’s where the Boxee comes into play. This service aims to bring video content found on the web to your television without the need of a computer, keyboard and mouse. This concept is relatively new but all signs point to this becoming the future of television. Gone will be the cable and satellite providers. Television will become personalized. You can watch what you want, when you want.

The desktop computer user, or someone with a TV/PC monitor setup, are only as mobile as their peripherals allow. Wireless technology comes in handy for those who want to be able to access their email and what-not from the couch as well as the desk. The latest innovation in wireless keyboards comes from Logitech in the form of their $67.00 K750 Solar Power model. While initially suspicious of the role and reliability of solar powered peripherals in indoor computer use, it was soon discovered that the K750 is not only reliable, it’s durable and comfortable too.

Last month HP announced a massive price drop on their HP Touchpad tablet. This created madness that created a Black Friday-like atmosphere around retailers who had the item in stock. One day, nobody wanted one. The next, everyone was trying to nab one. The lucky ones nabbed the 16 GB model for just $99.99. Quite the drastic drop from its original $499.99 retail value.

The reason why HP canned the HP Touchpad was due to low sales. These low sales were because this tablet should have never been priced at $499.99. That’s what the Apple iPad 2 and the Samsung Galaxy cost. Those came with iOS and Android, respectively. The HP Touchpad had the app-less webOS. What the frenzied sales showed was, if anything, that HP didn’t create an inferior product, it just priced it wrong.

I bought the Joby Gorillapod SLR GP2 for using in my photography. I had done some research on the product before I bought it and found that people were concerned about the strength of the tripod.

The Gorillapod SLR is designed for use with lightweight SLR cameras and camcorders weighing up to 800g. This is where the reviews were failing; the cameras that they mentioned were all heavy SLR cameras certainly heavier than 800g.

The tripod comes complete with flexible joints that bend and rotate though 360 degrees which help you to form the perfect shape on any ground. The Gorillapod SLR has sturdy legs and an integrated bubble level, having the bubble level helps to get a steady shot in any environment. There is nothing worse than getting a good shot and then having to digitally edit it to be straight.
