Ever heard of an eCigarette? This is a disquieting gadget that is marketed as an alternative to regular cigarette smoking. It is just a thin white plastic tube that you don’t light but that you jam in your mouth and smoke.
These e-cigs, which are made by a company called White Cloud do not contain any tobacco, tar or any other preservatives. They don’t even contain smoke. However you will see an odorless vapor after taking a drag off of this cigarette. These taste like very clean cigarettes and come in different flavors from menthol to chocolate to whiskey. You simply charge one of these slender white sticks up with an USB cartridge and then attach it to an even longer white stick. This is what makes it look like and feel like a cigarette. You then stick it in your mouth and start “smoking.
The cigarette comes with a SimpleSmoke cartridge that is the equivalent of forty cigarettes. They come in a kit and are 90% charged. You put a battery in them and smoke away. The good news is you do not get any tar or nicotine. However they are pricey with it costing about twenty bucks every time you have to replace the flavored batteries. And the entire unit itself costs about two hundred dollars to buy.
However they might be worth it to try if you really want to quit smoking. It is emphasized that this is not a device that is a replacement for smoking. Reader reviews from smokers say they keep smoking cigarettes while also puffing away on this device which gives a whole new meaning to the idea of oral fixation.
The best thing about these fake cigarettes is that they don’t annoy other people. If you are a big smoker and have a baby or a kid with asthma these fake electronic cigarettes come in handy and are worth the two hundred bucks.
Speaking of vices have you ever been in a bar or speakeasy and suspected that your bartender is watering down your drinks with the cheap stuff.
The Rotgutonix is a small handheld device that can detect adulterated alcohol, which is commonly known as rotgut. It has a built-in chemical sensor that can assess the quality of several alcoholic beverage brands (JB, Johnny Walker, DYC, Habana Club, Brugal and Pampero). If the drink in question is indeed watered down by your evil bartender, a skull and cross bones will be displayed on the LCD letting you know that it is time for you to get your money back.

Ebooks are cheaper to read then books which explains the popularity of those electronic ebook reader. Nowadays you can get all kinds of gadgets to enhance your experience of using them.
First let’s talk about one of the must-have highly rated eBook readers. In August Sony came out with an eBook reader called the Touch Edition which is a hybrid of the company– the PRS-300 and the PRS-600. It has a very flat screen and totally relies on touch input. It’s aluminum, comes in red and black and with a sleeve. No software comes with it if you buy it so it is not a great deal in that regard but it is one of the nicer, plainer readers to look at. The best thing about it is that it is compact and that it fits easily in a purse.
Oprah Winfrey is a big fan of the Kindle 2 wireless reading device and featured it on her show. The Kindle 2 is approximately the same width as the original device, but is slightly longer. The display is the same size and resolution, but is capable of producing sixteen shades of gray instead of only four shades. It also comes with headphones and a small QUERTY keyboard with rounded keys. However you will mostly be using the tiny joystick on the device to open, operate and turn pages on the electronic books you read with the device. You can also sync this book with materials you download from your iPod.
The great thing about this Amazon device is how easy it is to buy books with it! You can purchase books directly on the device or get a free sample first with an option to buy the whole book once you finish reading it. Prices are actually a lot better than I remember them being with the Sony Reader. You can even find free books to download through the online store. Amazon knows what it’s doing with the instant gratification aspect of their store. When you click Buy, you don’t have to go through the pain of signing on, giving your credit card number or anything. It uses your Amazon account and the payment method already setup there. It’s easy, it’s fast, and it’s addictive. Even with my slow connection, I could buy a book and have it ready to read in a couple minutes.

The new LCD televisions which are huge and crystal clear use the same technology featured in laptop computer screens and flat-panel desktop monitors. Compact, lightweight, and sharp, LCD TVs provide a sleek and visually superior or alternative to traditional TVs, which use cathode ray tubes. This type of technology is big in scope. This type of plasma display uses technology found in larger flat-panel screens, which typically start at 36 inches across diagonally.
Mainstream LCD TVs have experienced a serious growth spurt in the past few months, expanding from a maximum size of 20 inches to more than 30 inches. Plasma screens, which use a different display technology, have dropped drastically in price making them more affordable for everybody. A 42-inch plasma model that cost seven grand three years ago can now be had for three grand.
You might be wondering whether or not you should buy a plasma or LCD screen. Plasma screens initially seem to be the better deal because they offer the best bang for the buck on the showroom floor. Today, three grand will get you either a 30-inch LCD or a much larger 42-inch plasma TV. However you should also be aware that these televisions emit a lot of heat, are expensive and can be noisy. The plasma has better images but it a much clunkier and awkward set.
The difference between LCD and Plasma technologies is simple. LCD screens employ millions of individual crystals, each of which responds to an electric charge to allow a specific amount and color of light to pass through the glass. Plasma screens use millions of tiny glass bubbles filled with a gas-like substance called plasma. When exposed to an electric charge, the plasma emits ultraviolet rays that cause the coating on the glass to wear out. So in theory the LCD TV is a better buy because it won’t degrade as fast. It also does not have a noisy fan in the back like Plasma.
On the other hand the Plasma image can be better. The pixels on LCD televisions can have slow response times. The colors can also be off on the LCD and it is hard to see the television from an extreme angle.
LCD screens are immune to screen burn in and fade, which means they offer a significantly longer useful life than their plasma counterparts. Another advantage: LCD panels consume about half the power and produce much less heat than plasma displays so they are more economical.
