Use your PC to get free over-the-air HDTV! The Withings Scale will work with Fitbit! Superzoom and great low light performance... can we find a digital camera with both for $200? GeekDad Day... it's better than Father's Day! It won the L Prize, but is this LED light bulb really worth $55?
Use your PC to get free over-the-air HDTV! The Withings Scale will work with Fitbit! Superzoom and great low light performance... can we find a digital camera with both for $200? GeekDad Day... it's better than Father's Day! It won the L Prize, but is this LED light bulb really worth $55?
Tired of bad ties or wasting the morning waiting in line for brunch? GeekDad wants to take over Father's Day and turn it into National GeekDad Day, "with cool activities and experiments picked by WIRED just for families like yours. These projects will help you jumpstart a lifelong love of science and technology for your kids." We love the idea, right down to the planning guide you can download!
Kevin's Mom, "recently took some pics with her Kodak point and shoot digital camera at a graduation that came out grainy and dark, despite taking them fairly close to the front of the room." She wants a new digital camera that'll "take good distance shots at events like little league games and dance recitals." The budget? $200. We've got four options in the video, from $120 to $220 thanks to some help from Cnet's awesome digital camera reviews!
A few years ago, the U.S. Government-sponsored an engineering contest to produce a replacement for the insanely popular, yet humble, 60W incandescent light bulb. The won the L Prize and named the prize winning LED replacement for 60W bulbs " 10A19, or L Prize. Robert's already bought one of the $55 bulbs... is he satisfied with the lead free mercury free LED bulb that uses 50W less energy and promises to last years longer than any incandescent?
You're trying to buy a new bulb and you see a wall of weird shapes with boxes covered with info on Lumens and Color Temperature... when all you want is to swap a new 60W bulb into your desk lamp. We show off some LED bulbs, explain Lumens, why some lamps kill CFLs, give Apartment Therapies awesome cheat sheet you can carry to the store so you know how many lumens you need to replace that 60W or 100W bulb... then we show you EnergyStar's CFL Guide, which shows you how a room looks with different light 'temperatures' from 3000k to 5700K... aka "soft or warm" vs. bright or daylight!
Veronica asked us to mention that Withings Wi-Fi Body Scale can be set up to report to report to Fitbit! Thanks to Evan for the heads up on how to do it!
@juanpinillos asked, "what's a good TV Tuner Card to use with Windows 7 Media Center?" He wants over the air HDTV to replace cable. You could roll with a basic USB or PCIe over the tuner from Hauppauge, but Robert suggests you check out his personal favorite, the SiliconDust HDHomeRun DUAL which has two tuners and sends OTV signals over your home network to your PC. Cool, huh? We've got an antenna suggestion and more info in the video!
