Cisco who has recently acquired the company behind the line of Flip Video camcorders, are now back with a brand new release for you to part with your hard earned cash this holiday season. We’re talking about a new innovation in home video sharing with the device known as FlipShare TV. Touted to be the first of its kind in the industry, FlipShare TV will offer the user’s whole Flip Video library of photos and videos right smack in the middle of the family room over the HDTV screen – all done sans pesky wires running over the ground. This means you can always share your videos instantly with other FlipShare TV owners as well, any time, anywhere. Similar to its other Flip Video products, the FlipShare TV is a snap to set up and use. You will need to connect the tiny FlipShare TV
base to the TV through the included composite cables or an HDMI cable, while the FlipShare TV USB key will be plugged into a USB port on a PC or Mac. Both USB key and console have been preconfigured to function wirelessly, giving you instant wireless viewing on the TV without having to work around a wireless home network. Couch potatoes will also love the included wireless remote that lets you navigate through the intuitive TV interface before selecting one’s favorite videos, custom movies, or photos and watch them in full HD glory. FlipShare TV was specially designed to play nice with FlipShare 5.0, a brand new software from Flip Video which offers a convenient and easy way to organize, edit, and share favorite video moments online as well as through cellphones. Not oly that, you can also view videos shared by other Flip Video users on their own TV, thanks to automatic accessibility of videos shared via Flip Channels. Interested in picking one up for your living room this Christmas? You’ll need to pony up $149.99 for the FlipShare TV then.

While it may seem that stand-up video games are practically a thing of the past, and there has not been a decent one since Dance Dance Revolution. Since home versions of the game along with Guitar Hero/Rock Band have pretty much eclipsed stand-up video game glory, it’s nice to see someone trying to renew it with Textminator. As you can see, someone has even used the safety bars on the DDR game, but made the subject matter of the competition not dancing, but texting, something that the teens these days are really, really good at. So why not make an arcade game where players must “face-off” with each other on stainless steel phone-like keypads? It sort of reminds me of MasterType, a very old-school computer program that helped me learn to type. In that game, the player had to save a spaceship by typing in the correct sequence of letters to shoot the guns to destroy the aliens. I am assuming the player does a similar sort of game in Textminator. What makes this game unique is that not only can the high-scoring player enter in their initials, but the Textminator has a built-in camera so the player can snap a pic of themselves for a virtual wall of fame. So, let’s see how Textminator plays out in a modern video arcade. Perhaps it will spawn Textminator 2: Judgment Page.

Research has shown that most men have shorter lives than women due to the type of lifestyles they lead – including late nights of boozing with their mates, being in a high-pressured job, undergoing plenty of stress as he wonders how is he going to pull his family through a crisis, and perhaps even engaging in crazy stunts and sports for that bit of adrenaline rush. Well, most men too would be involved with the use of power tools, and is tasked with mowing the lawn with NASCAR race attendance as his reward. Some of those activities mentioned do involve being exposed to high levels of noise at any one time which if left unchecked, could lead to permanent hearing loss many years down the road. With Christmas coming up in slightly more than a month, why not give dad the protection he needs with the NoiseBuster Active Noise-Canceling Hearing Protector?
This professional-grade, high-performance equipment will merge a passive earmuff with active noise-canceling electronics to deliver overall noise cancellation performance that is unmatched by any other hearing protector. Apart from its superior noise cancellation, the NoiseBuster is full well capable of delivering awesome audio, essentially making this a great 2-in-1 audio choice – to prevent you from running a higher risk of hearing loss, while enjoying your favorite tunes in greater detail as it blocks external noise. Not something we would wear when going jogging or cycling though, as those activities require you to hear what’s going on outside just in case you end up as roadkill and a statistic. The Noisebuster 
allows one to listen to music or the ball game without overamplifying or distorting the signal in order to compensate for the noise. The NoiseBuster PA4000 is currently priced at $149 , and if you happen to fork out that kind of money for it, you will be pleased to know it will come with a hard carry case, an audio cable and an AA battery to get you started right out of the box, with all web purchases coming with a 10% discount.

Back in the days, having a firewall was a decent option if you wanted to secure your network against incoming attacks from the outside, but these days not just any firewall will do. Wiresoft, being a leading provider of affordable, high performance network security products for small and medium-sized businesses, has just unveiled Firegate, where it is touted to be the industry’s foremost “unbreakable” firewall delivering enterprise-level security plus disaster recovery without breaking the bank – perfect for such an economic climate. Just to get a better impression of how “steady” and reliable it is, the Firegate’s core technology platform has never been penetrated in either laboratory or market conditions to date. In order to underline its robustness and security, Wiresoft has issued a challenge, offering up to $24,000 in prize money to anyone who can hack Firegate within 24 hours. Dubbed the “Hack Us If You Can” challenge, it will be open to all from November 16 onwards, and you can check out the rules of the game here. Guess there will be plenty of coffee being passed around by a group of ethical hackers as they vie for 24 grand, no small sum even by today’s standards as that can get the winner a brand new ride or a super souped up gaming rig with more than enough cash to spare. Firegate is a unified threat management network security product, where a solitary platform will help protect companies against all network security threats. It offers firewall, individually configurable spamwall, unlimited VPN support, content filtering and anti-virus protection, where it has been included in a single price point without any hidden charges or add-ons. Any takers?

Sony Ericsson might not be at the top of their game when it comes to cellphone releases, catering to a much smaller percentage compared to its rivals, although their phones generally have a pretty good build quality and tend to concentrate between two lines – the Walkman and Cybershot series which cater for shutterbugs and audiophiles, respectively. Well, their latest announcement has nothing to do with either, where the XPERIA
X10 is said to roll out sometime in the first quarter of next year, being the first phone in a family of phones to deliver a consistent user experience where communication truly becomes entertainment. Thanks to the incorporation of a new UX platform which will evolve across the product portfolio, it will expand over time while introducing new features and capabilities. Built on top of the Open OS, the UX platform creates a unique Sony Ericsson user experience by being the first handset which “truly humanise the way people interact with their phones.” Some signature applications of the XPERIA X10 include Mediascape and Timescape, where the latter will manage all your communication with one person in one place, where your Facebook messages, Twitter account, photos, emails and texts can be seen in a glance for each contact when selected. As for the Mediascape, this allows you to check out music, photos and videos you want from your favorite friends and artists. You will be spoilt for choice when it comes to applications since with the XPERIA X10, users are able to download any application of their choice direct from a wide variety of stores including PlayNow and the Android Market. The XPERIA X10 will play nice with the following frequencies, making it a truly world phone – GSM GPRS/EDGE 850/900/1800/1900, UMTS HSPA 900/1700/2100 and UMTS HSPA 800/850/1900/2100. No word on pricng, but we do know it will come in Sensuous Black and Luster White.
