Wind Up Universal TV Remote

True Gadgets — Fri, 29 Aug 2008 08:18:47 +0000

I usually end up sitting in front of my television either banging the control off of the couch or taking the back off of the remote and twisting the batteries around until they start working again. The latter seems to work quite a bit for some reason. Getting off of the couch to fetch some fresh batteries would just not be right. Too much energy. Now it looks like you don't have to anymore.

I have a wind up radio that would use a pile of power to operate and it lasts for about 10 minutes after winding her a good one. I can't imagine a remote using a ton of power once it gets charged. Changing stations and turning it off. You can read more about the Wind Up Universal TV Remote at the Gizoo Website and it retails for about £20 or $38.

Warner to Introduce Cheaper Blu-ray Disks

True Gadgets — Mon, 28 Jul 2008 02:26:23 +0000

If it's not expensive enough to set yourself up with a nice little blu-ray disc player you still have to shell out a pretty penny to buy the movies themselves. Warner has announced that this fall they will offer some discounted prices on select titles. A step in the right direction for sure. Consumers can expect to pay between $17 – $20 which may still be a little more expensive than your average DVD but much better than the $30 that they now cost. I don't really have a list of titles as of yet but I would assume that the lot would consist of older titles as well as some new ones. Stay tuned.

According to estimates from the Fuji Chimera Research Institute, the market for Blu-ray recorders in Japan is expected to explode between now and 2012, growing to some 3.6 million units a year. Pioneer hasn't announced any price ranges, feature sets, or target sales figures……
