If you’re like me, the more screen real estate you have the better and usually the bigger you go with LCD’s the more you suffer, either the resolution decreases or your refresh rate (in ms) increases. If you try and go over 22 inches your price for a quality LCD increases exponentially. With the I-Inc iF-281DPB you get  27.5 viewable space at an amazing 1920×1200 resolution so now not only do you have a massive amount of screen real estate, you get it without the hugh windows and text that would ordinary make it seem like it was all for nothing.

The icing on the cake with this monitor (besides its low price) is the fact that it has a 3ms refresh rate, why get a hugh monitor capable of over 1080p if its going to blur when the action in your games get heavy or the DVD or blue-ray movie’s action gets heated. I play a lot of different games like, Half life 2, Battlefield 2, Frontlines fuel of war…etc and the last monitor I bought, the refresh rate was not the deciding factor, it was size & price. I regretted that for a long time. the average refresh rate for gaming is 2 – 3 milliseconds or less, if you can even find less…LOL. Do yourself a hugh favor (no pun intended) and check out this monitor, as of this post its on sale for $279. That’s a steal. You can find it HERE

How cool is this, a USB missile launcher that you can control remotely from any computer on the net and the best part is it comes with its own webcam , you can use it to aim , spy , remote surveillance you name it. Think about it, say you have a dog you want to keep off the couch or stop a roommate from eating your lunch…LOL. the possibility’s are endless.

Seriously we have all seen USB missile launchers before, and they are fun but never with an attached web cam. This is the MSN Webcam Missile Launcher that you can control anywhere you’re connected.

You can even hook up with your friends online through MSN messenger and control theres as well as them controlling yours. I can see the IM battles raging now ! The best would be setting this up at work, before leaving on vacation, just to torment your fellow workers…LOL. Check out the link in this post, its awesome!

OK lets face it , with Christmas right around the corner I find myself cruising through a lot more fun and interesting sites rather than the meat and potato type of tech that usually holds my attention. I guess its the whole holiday spirit thing that brings out the kid in me and reminds me that computers and there accompanying equipment were really born out of fun. Lets face it, if it weren’t for Space Invaders, Pong, Defender, and the hundreds of other oldies but goodies we wouldn’t have the video cards we have to day or the 4 core processors and systems that can except 16GB of ram. If people didn’t game and want more more more out of these games we would all be using desktop equivalents of the netbooks to surf the web answer email and build spread sheets.

Alright enough rambling, back to the Space Invaders LED Doormat. This has got to be one of the coolest doormats I’ve ever scene, what better way to tell your visitors that not only are you a computer master mind but your also smart enough to know how to keep your house clean…. LOL. All kidding aside I don’t have to tell you how and why this doormat is cool its in our genes. It just is, plain and simple, sometimes we don’t even know why….its like the force !  its there, but only we can tap into it . Seriously though, go check it out, click the link in this post, they explain its functions in detail.

Ok I’m a little embarrassed to say this but mini helicopters are buy far one of my favorite geeky toys. I’ve owned many different types over the years and my all time favorite has been the Micro Mosquito. I’ve had it for years and its gone through hell and still works great, I learned how to fly these mini copters with the Micro Mosquito and had to buy a couple of rotor blades over the years do to family members accidentally sitting on them , crazy crashes, pets, etc. Now don’t take that the wrong way, the amount of abuse this copter has endured is mind boggling. For something so fragile looking it holds up to crashes and most other blunders remarkably well, at first I used to treat it like it was made of glass and every time it crashed I would freak out thinking it’s ruined, until I picked it up and all was fine. Not that I’ve crashed all that often..LOL. There is a learning curve but its very slight, my 11 year old was flying it like a pro within minutes. Once you’ve mastered the controls is when the fun starts, I have the Micro Mosquito and my son has a Dark Blade 3 copter, and in many ways I’m Jealous…LOL. The Dark Blade 3 seems to have everything the mosquito does plus more power and faster reaction time. I will be buying my own shortly. We often setup plastic army men or small boxes made of lite cardboard and paper clips and see who can transport the most boxes or army guys to a chosen location within a certain period off time (usually in one charge, about 6-10min). It takes about 15 – 20 min to charge. My son usually wins. If you would like to fly two or more at the same time you simply need to purchase the copters with different frequency’s, The sales people will know what your talking about. You can see a video of the Dark Blade 3 in action below. Remember these make excellent Christmas gifts for all ages.
