The first keyboard and mouse I owned that actually allowed me to pick the color of the lighting had me captivated. To me it was the greatest invention ever created at the time. Thankfully LED lighting has not been limited to just computer accessories. Sure, there have been times when the LED lights go a little overboard, but in the case of this stovetop, it just enhances the looks.

This bright white style makes your stovetop look a whole lot more modern and chic. If you’re the type that loves to paint and try all different colors just to change things up a little, then this would be a handy item to have around. Not only is it filled with LED lights, but ones that change colors. That means you can change out the coloring time and time again to go with your décor. This is from Gorenje’s “Touch of Light” collection that was designed by Karim Rashid. That sadly means that this will probably be a little hard to get your hands on by being either expensive or just limited in numbers.

Want to prepare for winter? Well, if you happen to have a patio in your home and would like to sit outside even when the mercury drops later this year, you might want to consider investing $149.95 in the Even Warmth Patio Umbrella Heater from Hammacher.

This is a special heater which is attached to virtually any patio umbrella, where it is capable of evenly distributing radiant heat to folks sitting under the canopy. It will work differently from tabletop heaters as those only warm a limited area, but thanks to a trio of adjoining arms, they will combine to cast an 8? circumference of heat which is more or less guaranteed to provide warmth to everyone around the table.

It relies on quartz heating elements to produce radiant heat that keeps you and your family or friends warm, making furniture surfaces nice and cozy for your cat to sleep on as well. Whenever you fold down an arm, its heating element will shut off, so you can always adjust the temperature accordingly depending on the number of arms.

Magellan has just introduced a new range of eXplorist handheld GPS devices which will target the outdoor recreation market, where it will come in the eXplorist 510, 610 and 710 models which enable adventurers to navigate through various outdoor destinations throughout the world. Of course, these are also more than capable of capturing geotagged photos along the way, allowing you to share you experiences online when you return home. All of the new eXplorist models will merge high-sensitivity GPS, an intuitive user interface, easy-to-read mapping and accurate navigation to make sure you can find your way around, and they will roll out to consumers in North America, Europe, and many other countries worldwide sometime before the year is over, specifically in Q4 2010.

We covered the official announcement of the Kinect at E3, and I would imagine that game designers are going nuts to create new worlds of interactivity for Xbox 360 gamers.

Peter Molyneux, designer of famed video games franchises like Black and White and Fable has created a new game called Milo and Kate, which crosses into a very realistic realm of gaming.

In the game, the player gets to “mentor” a boy named Milo or a girl named Kate. The players can ask questions that will have the gaming characters respond back in a very artificial way (for now) and even “catch” virtual things that players throw at them. You can also pick up after them, and I believe there is an interesting conversation by Milo or Kate’s parents that the player overhears about a move of some kind. Read the rest of this entry »
