Digital Handheld USB Microscope

Thursday 12th of August 2010 06:20:07 PM

Digital Handheld USB Microscope (FPC-M130)

Got something on your computer desk that you need to magnify at microscope style resolution?  Or perhaps you have a notebook or laptop computer and need to focus in on items at very high resolution?

This digital handheld USB microscope seems to fit the bill and allows anyone with a computer to focus in at high levels of resolution.  Great for education, testing or research projects or maybe just plain simple curiosity.  This product is from Saelig Electronics and has the following stats:

  • 1.3 mega pixel sensor resolution
  • 300 frames per second VGA and 15 frames per second at 1.3 megapixels
  • USB 2.0 interface.
  • Built in LED lighting and ring stand
  • Manual lens focusing
  • Magnification 34X and 270X
  • Take photos and record video
  • 50 x 150mm dimensions and 150 grams weight

I wish I had one of these puppies when I was a kid!  It would have made my science classes a lot easier!  Now that I think about this digital handheld USB microscope would be a superb tool for anyone who is into the criminal justice field and needs to get an ultra sharp and ultra close up look at potential evidence!

TASER Releases X3 Tasr Gadget Today

Monday 27th of July 2009 09:58:53 PM

tasr20090727

Today, after much anticipated buildup, Taser Corp has released their newest taser stun gun, the TASER X3.  The X3 is different from the other line up stun guns in that this one is able to deliver a multi shot electronic control device enabling it to engage multiple targets.

The X3 also displays a quite obvious warning arc to gain compliance of would be bad boys before having to deploy any charges.  This taser gun has the ability to simultaneously stop up to three people with a single unit.

This taser gadget really looks outstanding.  But more than that, it just looks like it has an ergonomic design.  It looks impressive. I  would really hate to stare down the barrel of one of these things.  Tip… if a cop ever tells you to get down on the ground, just do it… Otherwise they might pull one of these puppies out.

Taser claims that this device is and I quote, “the most intelligent hand-held force option ever developed”.  That is quite a profound statement.  I have a feeling we are going to be seeing a lot more of these in the not too distant future.

Friendly Robotic Lawn Mower so you never have to Mow the Lawn Again

Friday 24th of July 2009 08:05:43 PM

mower

Since I first started showcasing gadgets here at GadgetGnome I think this one may be my favorite of all time, and maybe it will stay that way for as long as we keep showcasing gadgets here at gadgetgnome.

A robotic lawn mower! Unbelievable… and what a superb idea.  Maybe you can say I am lazy or just no fun, but I am just tired of mowing the lawn week in and week out.  I am just too busy to be mowing the lawn. Are you?  Don’t get me wrong, I like being outdoors and I like the smell of fresh grass.. But over the years mowing the lawn has just become a chore that I would rather not do (sort of like buying groceries.. by the way what’s worse, doing grocery shopping or mowing the lawn?!)

But have no fear! The robotic mower is here!  The Friendly Robotics RL1000 RoboMower and docking station is an electric lawn mower that mows for you all the time when you are busy doing other things.  No, it does not talk to you or tell you how nice you look this morning, but it mows your lawn while you are sipping margaritas on the back porch!

The Worlds Smallest House

Friday 24th of July 2009 07:32:04 PM

house

This is not really a gadget but I thought it was sort of interesting.  The world’s smallest house.  It is really a bite size house probably only suitable for one person? Maybe you could fit two in there but it might be sort of narrow around the corners.

I would have never thought of an entire house as a gadget, but this one sure does come close.  I wonder where they sleep in that thing?  Maybe if they got rid of all those books they could sleep vertically in that space.  Hmmm.  I think I would rather have a tent than a little wooden house like this.  But I suppose the one big advantage to having a house like this is the portability factor.  Don’t like where you live? No problem, simply put that thing in the back of your pickup truck and settle down somewhere else… hmmm.

CC Wifi Radio Lets you Listen to 16,000 Radio Stations

Thursday 23rd of July 2009 08:10:38 PM

ccwifi

This is an innovative gadget radio that lets you tune into more than 16,000 radio stations around the world through the power of WiFi.

Perhaps you have travelled to many other countries before or you speak several languages.  This internet enabled radio lets you listen to news and other radio from all across the world easily.

I gotta tell you honestly I am a bit tired of just getting my news from MSNBC.  There are millions of other news organizations across the world with much broader perspective.  It seems this CC WiFi helps you tap into that source.  It has 99 memory presets a remote control, alarm clock and a WiFi Signal strength indicator. It does require a broadband internet connection.

TEAC DVD CD Duplicator for Effortless Copies

Thursday 23rd of July 2009 07:59:28 PM

p70926ab1

I actually own one of these so I thought it worthwhile to mention here on GadgetGnome dot com.

This is the TEAC CD DVD Duplicator.  It is a simple gadget that does one thing and does it very well.  Can you guess? Well I think you already know.  It duplicates CD’s and DVD’s without the need for a computer or software or all kinds of special equipment.

It is extremely easy to use.  All you have to do is pop the CD or DVD you want to copy in the unit, and then pop a blank disc in the other drive bay and then like magic it will automatically start copying your disc.  There is no need to fuss around with a computer or other configuration settings.  It is a quick no hassle way to make copies or backups of your favorite media on CD’s and DVD’s.  I have had zero problems with my unit and the copies have been flawless.  Actually I got one for my Mother because it is much easier for her to make copies using this unit.  She prefers more low tech type devices so this was the perfect fit.

The Breast Mouse Pad Ever

Thursday 23rd of July 2009 03:47:42 PM

GadgetGnome is supposed to be G rated and it still is actually but I just couldn’t resist showcasing this mousepad from busty mousepads.

I actually do not even use a mousepad at all, I just use my laser guided wireless mouse right on my desk.  I suppose a mousepad would help but I never really got in the habit of using one.  But maybe all that will change with the dawn of this breast mouse pad.  I suppose it might give new meaning to ‘surfing the net’.

The funny thing about this gadget is that it may actually be more healthy for your wrist during your surfing sessions because it supports the wrist and part of the arm.  That is not a scientific opinion, just my 2 cents from what I know about computer mice, surfing and carpel tunnel syndrome ( the complication in people’s wrists that afflicts heavy computer keyboard and computer mouse users).
