Stay in touch with your local weather conditions

http://www.amazon.com/The Bushnell WeatherFX 7-Day Weather Forecaster is a handy wall or table gadget to simplify your life, operating on either 4 "AA" batteries or AC power. When used with the included AC adapter, the screen's backlit color changes as the forecasted outdoor temperature changes-making for an easy at-a-glance aid in what to wear during seasons of transient weather.




In addition to the automatic clock, temperature, and forecasting capacities of the smaller 5-day FX model, this version also informs the viewer of the current wind speed and direction as well as the UV index ratings.



The WeatherFX has an internal radio (with alarm) which synchronizes to the US atomic clock, and any weather alerts issued in your area will be prominently displayed. While the Weather FX will not align to every location in the USA, all major cities are included and many smaller cities are accessible as well.

Forecasts for 7 days updated every 15 minutes

Clock automatically adjusted from the atomic clock broadcast from WWVB in Fort Collins, CO

Watch the superbowl with this Plasma HDTV

Panasonic Viera TC-P42C1 Plasma 720p HDTV. Flat-panel televisions based on plasma technology continue to be favored by home theater experts over LCD technology due to plasma's superiority in producing very dark blacks and keeping up with the fastest action without blurring objects in motion. The TC-P42C1 is no exception, and it has the added benefit of an entry-level price for plasma technology.

A touch screen compact tablet-style notebook computer that weighs less than two pounds.

http://arthurtechworld.ecrater.com/

Viliv S7 EXP S US Mobile Internet Device is a compact tablet-style notebook computer that weighs less than two pounds. Its 7" touch-screen display can swivel 180°, folding flat for tablet-style use, or aligning perpendicularly with the base of the system for use as a traditional notebook. The computer, which weighs just 1.8 pounds, can operate for up to 9.5 hours on a single battery charge under ideal conditions. It can sleep for up to 200 hours per charge, and can be ready to use from sleep in as little as four seconds.


The Viliv S7 strikes the productive blend of usability and portability. At 1.8 pounds (0.8 kilograms), it's so small and light that you can conveniently hand-carry anywhere. (And it's worth mentioning that the form-fitting leather case looks surprisingly great.) The S7 measures just 9.1 x 5.6 x 1.0 inches (23 x 14.3 x 2.6 centimeters). Thanks to its Intel Atom 1.33GHz processor and 16GB of solid-state storage (SSD), the S7 gives you full Windows XP on-the-go
 
 
The system features a wealth of wireless connectivity options. Standard 802.11b/g Wi-Fi allows you to get online at Internet hotspots. The Bluetooth 2.0+EDR module supports compatible wireless peripherals, including keyboards, mice, and headphones. Additionally, you'll be able to participate in online video chat thanks to the integrated webcam and microphone
 
 
You'll be able to use the computer's on-screen keyboard to type when in tablet mode. Switch to the standard notebook form factor to use the S7's physical keyboard. A miniaturized trackpad, situated above the keyboard, allows for precise cursor control.


 
One of the S7's features that makes the device (and its category-crushing battery life) even more useful is its 4-second wakeup-from-standby under Windows XP. Need to take a quick note or show someone the webpage during your meeting? Pop open the S7 and you are working straight away. And with such fast wakeup, you won't hesitate to put the S7 back into standby -- making the effective use time of one charge even longer
 
 
Touchscreen convenience lets you sign documents, draw charts, take handwritten notes -- and, of course, provides super-intuitive navigation of web pages. Or, swivel the screen to show something to your colleague. Twist-and-fold the screen down for a 7" touchscreen PMP with extreme battery life! The swivel touchscreen also features screen-rotation and 'start menu' buttons
 
Another unique Viliv S7 feature is the ability to load files simply by connecting it to another PC using a USB cable and running file manager software. This makes it super simple to prep the S7 for grab-and-go use. Load all your important documents, music, and movies in a matter of minutes
 
The S7 keyboard is tight, but it's large enough to type on after getting used to. There's also an on-screen virtual keyboard intended for use in tablet-mode. There's a small trackpad for navigation, but most people rely on the touchscreen. Other integrated features include two USB 2.0 ports, one mini-USB port, an SDHC slot, a camera, VGA-out, AV-out (requires dongle), audio in/out, and internal speaker/mic.



 

Most of the safest ways of shopping for anything is online shopping

The safest ways to shop is online shopping because you are safe at home away from the mad crowds of people fighting they way into stores. Also you get to sleep late and not having to get up at 4:ooam to wait in the cold weather for the store doors to open. It would make sense to easyly order the electronics products you want with GoogleChechout 98% security rating rather than carrying all that cash on you . I hope that you consider shopping at the Fortran Electronics website for Real Electronics products during this holiday season. Arthur's Technology World

A better way to take notes and do your school work

The Adesso CyberPad Digital Notepad & Graphics Tablet provides the ability to transfer handwritten notes and graphics to the PC, providing a digital version of notes and illustrations.

Place any ordinary paper or notepad on the CyberPad digital pad, and write on the paper with the digital inking pen. The pad digitally records anything you write in it, and every page you write is stored as one digital page. Plus, you can organize your notes by creating folders for specific notes. The LCD indicator screen right on the CyberPad will inform you which page and folder you are currently writing in.


The included riteMail 2.5 software is able to read CyberPad document files and intelligently transform handwriting into editable text; and it supports four languages (English, French, German, and Russian). The included software also digitally interprets shapes and charts with automatic adjustment and alignment of concentric shapes, connected lines, and adjacent shapes.

The CyberPad is an excellent solution for form-filling applications where both a hardcopy and digital entry data are needed. Simply create a form and print it out, then, using third party software such as Active Ink (not included), users can fill out both the hard copy while a digital version is automatically recorded.

With the CyberPad's bundled software, you can easily view, edit, and organize your handwritten digital pages in Windows. Save any digital pages as an image file and share your notes with others via e-Mail, or to your PDA.
