Samsung, CES 2011 and the Future of Home Living

Last 2011 CES, held at Las Vegas Nevada, Samsung Electronics Canada showcased the future of home and living with their new range of hi-tech appliances. Some of the new home appliances that Samsung launched are refrigerators that feature Wi-Fi enabled LCD screens that can access apps one might need in the kitchen, a Flex Oven range which divides into two separate oven chambers, and a 5.0 High Capacity Front-Loading Washer (WF520). All products are not only marked with a Samsung brand of quality and innovation but with the company’s commitment to a greener environment and more efficient energy consumption.

The new Samsung refrigerators, the RSG309 side-by-side and RF4289 four-door French Door models, feature an industry first 8-inch Wi-Fi enabled LCD screen located upfront above the water and ice dispenser. The screen serves as a terminal for accessing kitchen apps, recipe collections, notes and whole lot more. Both models are equipped with Twin Cooling Plus System technology that preserves perishable foods longer.

The Flex Oven is another industry’s first, it is the first 30″ freestanding electric range with a dividable oven cavity. The divider allows simultaneous cooking without aromas and taste getting mixed up; when not in use, the divider can be conveniently hidden above the warming drawer. Flex Oven boasts to have everything and more that any family needs in cooking including a warming drawer, five distinct burners, dual convection system, and a 20-minute SteamQuick energy efficient cleaning system. Samsung’s 5.0 High Capacity Front-Loading Washer (WF520) on the other hand is one of the world’s most spacious washers. It boasts to accommodate 31 bath towels in single loading and wash them in a perfect quiet operation using Samsung’s Vibration Reduction Technology Plus. It also has an advanced foaming technology to give clothes that clean feel even when under the heaviest loads.

Burn Fat Intelligently with Pedal Brain

New year is coming and you should be ready. I know you have created a new year’s resolution list and I also know that burning that winter fat is included in the list. No one can really blame you on that because everybody loves eating during the holidays especially when it is so cold outside, you don’t have anything else to do but to sit down on the couch and chow down with whatever your taste buds crave.

While this scenario is inevitable, you might want to try biking to wage the war against the pounds. For one, biking is a good cardiovascular exercise and it gets you to different places which is a good way to get some fresh air. For a better workout, Pedal Brain is a good investment to start. Pedal Brain is an integrated device that monitors your workout and also a coaching platform. By monitoring your workout, you can see how many calories you have burned, your heart rate and so on using your existing ANT+ sensors. But it doesn’t end at monitoring since the coaching platform can recommend what you should do for your ride like how many minutes would you go, when to rest, when to power pedal. Like a real coach, the Pedal Brain tracks your trail using the built-in GPS on your iPhone. The collected data can be uploaded to the web app and also on your Twitter or Facebook account so your friends can see your progress.

It is really nice that products such as this allow people to know their performance and analyze it to gain better and significant results.

Make a Statement with Custom Twitter Backgrounds

Twitter was born about 3 years ago and since its creation, Twitter has taken off as one of the most popular social media platforms. Opportunities for personal branding have increased and businesses and individuals are taking advantage of developing mainstream status using this tool. With Twitter, the potential reach of our personal brands is wider, but with almost one million users of this micro-blogging application, it’s harder to gain recognition.

Well, why don’t you just enhance your Twitter? You can choose from Twitter’s stock backgrounds. But why use one of Twitter’s stock backgrounds when you can have a custom twitter background that will not only make you stand out from the crowd but will also provide an excellent marketing opportunity? If you are using Twitter to endorse something, you are losing out its full potential if you don’t consider the background as part of your promotion.

“Plant Twitter” Household Plants are now Online!

Can you imagine getting a Twitter message from your plants reminding you to give them some water when you get home? Well, you don’t have to imagine it, because that technology is now available for purchase. The Chief Scientist at CERN was attempting to converse with a patch of catnip when he realized that the Twitter technology would be perfect for communication.

It connects to the Internet through a built-in Ethernet jack then metal leads stick into the plant’s soil and transmits directly to the plants Twitter feed. It communicates when it needs watered, whether it is overwatered, and then thanks you afterwards.

This product is similar to the “Blogging Plant” that was introduced last year, but the Twitter plant actually communicates at all times. It will send a Twitter message the moment it needs assistance and give gratitude the moment it is fulfilled. Currently this technology is sold as a kit, meaning you will need a soldering iron, and some patience. For $99 you get the fun of communicating with your plant via the internet and creating the technology that made it possible.

This product won’t “change” lives, but it does make life a little easier. If you are like me and definitely not blessed with a “green thumb”, then you kill most of your plants, you forgot to water them or didn’t realize they were in trouble until it was too late. This technology makes it possible for those with “green thumb” handicaps to become responsible plant owners.
