Much like cartoons, most gadgets and videogames are really not meant for kids. Let your toddler play Grand Theft Auto for a while or mess with your iPod and you’ll probably not be too happy with the results.
As a safer and more education alternative, LeapFrog Enterprises has been selling the Leaspter educational gaming system for about four years in retail stores across the US. This Summer (2008), LeapFrog will update the Leapster with web connectivity and also release a new handheld, web-enabled system called Didj.
The web element for both systems will be LeapFrog’s upcoming Learning Path where parents will be able to log in to track their children’s progress in each educational area.

A report from the Wall Street Journal says that Yahoo has denied Microsoft’s $44.6 billion bid to buy the company which operates the most frequented site/portal on the internet today. Yahoo’s Board of Directors has determined that the $31 per share price that Microsoft offered “massively undervalues” the company. Yahoo’s board seems to be looking for a bid no less than $40 per share, which would bump Microsoft’s offer up an additional $12 million. Yahoo, over the last week since Microsoft’s offer, has considered a partnership with the giant of this fine series of tubes, Google.
Personally, I think Microsoft is trying to take advantage of the fact that Yahoo has recently slipped, by lowballing (relatively) them. However, Microsoft’s bid in the first place shows how low they stand in the web game, and the extra $12 billion they might have to pony up may not be too bad for them. Honestly, I think this is smart on Yahoo’s part, seeing as how a Microsoft takeover would take quite a while to get approved, and wouldn’t help either company all too much.
Stay tuned for more, as it happens.

Like one of the writers said, happiness takes no account of time. Unfortunately, when time is money we need to have a watch and keep a close eye on it. If you are worried about your girlfriend, or just don’t want her to be late on your dates, this watch can be a very suitable gift. With diamonds around clock-face, it looks elegant and striking. She will remember you every time she looks at this watch, and shining of the diamonds can add a new shine to your relations.
It is very important to save all of those magic moments of your time spent together. They are priceless, those images of the past, those images that can help you remember all pleasant moments in life. If you want to make your date unforgettable, you will need a digital camera that will remember those moments for you. However, her camera must not only take beautiful pictures, but also be elegant and beautiful. Canon digital cameras have good balance between elegance and quality, take clear pictures and look stylish. All you have to do later is look at your old photos made together that can be stored forever in digital form, and thank your camera for letting you remember this moments for many years.
It is so important to listen to loved ones when it is no possibility to be physically near. That is what the cell phones are for. Her phone must be stylish, slim, beautiful, and ring loud
What comes in mind first? Of course, it is the RAZR. It is the slim and elegant phone with almost everything she needs - it even has a second camera for video-calls so you can be near your darling even if you are miles apart.
Laptops are so popular nowadays, they even replace desktop PCs for many people. It is very useful in many areas of life - work, education, entertainment, etc. Her laptop must be slim and light as possible, so she can take it with her every time she needs it. The best balance between weight, design and functionality is achieved in a tiny laptop with a tiny name: “Eee”. It does all that a regular PC does, but costs less and weights almost nothing, even compared to other laptops. Of course, it has wireless capabilities, so you will be able to surf internet while in the hot spot area. Moreover, reduced size does not mean reduced functionality: 800 MHz Intel processor, built-in Solid State Drive based on flash memory, 512 MB of RAM, 3 USB 2.0 ports - pretty good characteristics for such small laptop!
Why do we choose HDTV but not the diamond necklace, you ask? Let’s think logic. The prices on diamonds are rising, while the prices for HD TVs are falling. You can buy a very good High Definition TV for about 1500 dollars, which is a tiny price for diamond necklace. This TV will show your home videos in the best way that they can be shown, and you will enjoy your favorite movies much more on a bright and clear LCD High Definition screen. So ask yourself, choosing from diamonds and a good TV - which one you will enjoy more, together?

So that rumored K820 has turned out to be the C902, and that waterproof model? Not so much waterproof — just “splash and dust resistant” — and it’s the C702. Starting on the bottom, the 3.2 megapixel C702 touts one-handed camera use for those spur-of-the-moment shots when you’re doing something, like, totally extreme that would necessitate the use of a splash resistant phone to begin with. GPS also finds its way on board, and Sony Ericsson is bundling Google Maps for Mobile (good call) to get the mapping done. Moving up, the C902 is a 5 megapixel beast with autofocus, face detection, a generous flash, and 160MB of storage before you add anything on with the Memory Stick Micro slot. Both models feature Cyber-shot branding and will be available in the second quarter; they’ll come in two versions — one with UMTS 2100 and one rocking quadband EDGE alone. Look for the C702 in Speed Black and Cyan Blue, while the C902 will do its thing in Swift Black and Luscious Red (pictured).
In case you like expressing yourself and are a great lover of original design, you will probably like the concept that was designed by Hyomi Kim. Designer’s new gadget represents quite an original lighting system that is named “Tile + Light”.
“Tile + Light” system is a series of five differently configured customizable light fittings which are designed to be adaptable to different environments. Their modular configurations enable user to arrange them both relating to the spatial qualities of particular environments and according to the user’s preference as well. Due to the fact that there is no need for exposed cables or difficult wiring “Tile + Light” system is very easy to install. Given lighting system can be used as a decorative feature in public places, such as parks, pools and etc, or serve as directional lighting to help people find exits in any complex buildings. Moreover it can be used just as well to make your bathroom look more original.
Thus, this gadget is ideal for those who decided to change something in the interior of their habitation. But if you are accustomed to using designers for this purpose, this system may not seem so attractive to you. Yet it can give you a real possibility even for a short period of time to become a “do-it-yourself” man.
It’s obvious that almost everybody likes listening to music. But there are people who in addition to that like making it. Just for that kind of people Japanese designers created absolutely new instrument. It’s named Tenori-on that can be interpreted from Japanese as “sounds on the palm”. This gadget, which has 8 inches in diameter, will enable techno lovers to create new tunes and beats by touching or sliding on touch-sensitive surface.
Matrix that consists of LED keys covers front and back sides of the instrument. So when you touch these keys LED indicators light and you can see music just in the process of its creation. There are some ways of making music with this device. For example, “Bounce” function enables you to draw a sound wave on the matrix and to choose a beat that is appropriate for its diapason. Also you can program each key on a certain sound. A liquid-crystal indicator is used to switch functions. You can create quite complex tracks with the help of this gadget. However, if it is not enough, you will be able to download different samples from your PC by means of SD card. Moreover, if your friend buys Tenori-on too, you can connect both instruments and with each other and organize a synchronized recording session.
Yamaha Company started to sell a trial lot of these devices in the UK on tenori-on.com.uk at the price of /00. In case sales are successful, soon it will be possible to purchase this concept in every corner of the globe.
