| Ben & Jerry’s Euphori-Lock – Saving your Ice Cream one Pint at a Time Posted: 22 May 2012 09:17 AM PDT I have some fantastic childhood memories. I don’t know why, but one of my fondest memories is of my father and I hiding candy from each other . Both of us had a sweet tooth and if you just put your stash in the regular cabinet, lets just say, your goodies didn’t last very long. So we hid candy and cookies everywhere, in tins, behind books in oatmeal containers, but when it came to ice cream… that was fair game, I mean it had to go in the freezer right?… what else could you do? Well heres a nifty gadget that can protect your favorite frozen delicacy from your Dad, pesky brother, freezer raiding co-worker or roommate or last but not least, your kid. Ben & Jerry’s Euphori-Lock is an ingenious little device that can actually secure your favorite pint of ice cream with a three digit combination lock. Sure, the more hardcore criminals will simply saw the side of the carton or drill through the bottom, but for the rest of us, a locked up pint of ice cream certainly says NO! much better than a threatening sign.So while not its not foolproof, it is fairly easy, simply attach the device to your favorite pint and let guilt do its job. (no one want to get caught hysterically sawing through an ice cream container) Now that I am an adult, I would personally like to see a device that might taser or otherwise electrocute a freezer thief, but I can see some relatively unpleasant legal ramifications of such strong deterrent measures, so for now I’ll just go with the Euphori-lock, only $6.64 at Ben&jerrys.com and maybe just tell my kid it will electrocute her if she gets the combination wrong… that could work.

| Tread Desk – Walk your way to Success Posted: 22 May 2012 07:21 AM PDT There is no doubt that I spend way too much time in front of my computer screen and not enough time exercising. Truth be told, if its not the computer its the TV. Couple that with paying bills and taking a few calls and its no wonder I almost always have to skip dessert. Well I for one, am sick of it. I like cake, darn it. Check out the Tread Desk, designed with the busy executive in mind, the Tread Desk allows you to integrate exercise right into your workday, without having to waste time, you can actually walk, while you work. No more giving up your lunch hour to log a few miles, you can easily return a few calls and go over your spreadsheets while doing your body some real good. The “Tread” portion of the unit comes with a proprietary control panel which would best sit atop an adjustable height desk and is attached to the Tread via a six foot long cord. This control panel will keep track of your distance, time, speed, calories burned and it also comes with an emergency shut off cord which manufacturers suggest should always be worn when using the Tread Desk. It turns out that if you stopped sitting around in front of your computer and walked at only 1 mile an hour you would increase your calorie burn by 100 calories per hour, heck 1 mile an hour is certainly slow enough to be able to hold a conversation or type something… and a few hours of that, buys you a couple of cookies and a smaller butt! I have to work, and I also know I have to exercise, I think it stands to reason that if I can get both things out of the way at the same time, that would be a good thing. The treadmill portion of the system sells for around 840 bucks, and a package with an adjustable desk starts at around 2500.00, visit treaddesk.com for more info.

Well, another thing about modern day smartphones – most of them have seen heavy investments made to their aesthetics and design, and if you are looking for a surefire method to turn a smartphone ugly, slap on a PowerSkin case, and the job is done for you. The HTC One S is the recipient of such a case today, despite the fact that it is not the flagship model from HTC at the moment. The PowerSkin for HTC One S will have a $10 discount on purchases made between now and June 5th, 2012, when you pick it up here (power-skin.com/battery-cases/ap1523vilt/htc-one-s-tmobile.html) while making use of the promotional code: PSHTC123.

The speed is impressive for any user, so we wanted to make sure we provided a solution to keep people charged and connected while on the go. PowerSkin's slim-fitting silicone case is soft to the touch, yet ruggedly durable, also packing a powerful punch – extending talk time nearly 4 hours."

| Handcrafted Adjustable Putting Green Posted: 22 May 2012 05:30 AM PDT
This practice green will have a slight inclination so that you can continue putting to perfect your stroke, where all successful putts will see the ball being returned to you automatically thanks to a chute, whereas those balls that have gone wayward after having a mind of their own are easily retrievable without the need to walk and stoop, all you need to do is lightly tip the base with your foot and you are good to go. The green has a 10′ long putting surface that comes covered in 2mm poly foam cushioning as well as championship-quality billiard fabric for a smooth, consistent ball roll.

Modern day smartphones work nice and fine, but if they ever had one Achilles’ Heel to pick from, then my favorite choice would be the battery life – or rather, the lack of it.How many of you have a fully charged up smartphone in the day, only to find out that the power levels have dropped to near zero by the time you get home at night, and this also when you use it normally like your featurephones, with push email being turned off as well? It makes sense then, to carry around additional peripherals to juice your phone on the go, such as a cigarette lighter charger for your car, as well as keeping a spare charger at the office.
When it comes to storage devices, you will not go wrong with the name Verbatim. After all, they have been around for the longest time already, making sure that whatever your needs are, be it 5.25″ floppy disks (double sided or single sided?) to 3.5″ floppies that have a far more rigid chassis, not to mention newer portable hard drives and USB flash drives, Verbatim has got it down pat. I still remember how Verbatim floppies held a premium over regular floppies, as they had this Teflon coating which was said to be more resistant to scratches and fungal growth. Fat lot of good it did to my Prince of Persia disks though.
When it comes to the finer things in life, most of them are handcrafted. Yeah, that is right – handcrafted. The same applies to golfing equipment, as is the 
So you were one of the first few who picked up the Nintendo Wii when it was first released all those years ago, and still spend some time playing it each week just to keep yourself occupied? Surely you wished at times that the world of video games stopped back when the SNES was at its zenith, and thankfully, with the Nintendo Wii, you are able to play your favorite SNES titles thanks to the Wii Virtual Console. However, the Wii controller is not exactly the most comfortable controller to use, which is where the $19.99 Classic Super Famicom Controller For Wii comes in handy.| You are subscribed to email updates from Coolest Gadgets To stop receiving these emails, you may unsubscribe now. | Email delivery powered by Google |
