It’s normal for people to think about their safety, in fact, psychologists say that we think a lot about our safety all the time that through the evolutionary process, we’ve developed several defense mechanisms in our mind and body in order to survive.

Today, however, it’s not just about hunting food or fending off predators, but a lot of complicated things thrown into the mix of feeling secured. Besides thinking about our well-being we also think about our properties and how to keep them safe from thieves and burglars, our money from getting robbed and all other material possessions. So we made our homes hard to invade and even keep one or more firearms to fend off intruders, while in outdoors we lock our cars, bikes and other modes of transportation and keep our money in bank vaults with several security guards and a cutting-edge security system just to keep it safe.

But whatever your material possession is it will always require a lock and a key and these days that could be an inconvenience, so the guys at FUZ Designs created NOKE – a tough metal padlock that was built to respond to digital signals in order to lock and unlock itself. It requires no key you see, that’s why they gave it the name “NOKE.”

NOKE only recognizes Bluetooth signals, so it’s almost impossible to hack it, plus FUZ Designs added extra security measures in it in order to make it impregnable. You’ll need to use your smartphone in order lock or unlock the device; however, you don’t need an app or adjust the settings on your phone to do this, because it responds to the proximity of your phone, so all you have to do is bring the phone closer to it. If you have an Android phone that supports Bluetooth 4.0, then you can use the NOKE padlock as it is specifically compatible with it. FUZ Designs had intended to designed this device for multipurpose basis which will make it usable in almost anything and gives the user flexibility.

NOKE was made to look attractive on the outside but on the inside it is made of a very tough allow of hardened steel and boron which can withstand temp eratures of up to 2,348 Kelvin, you can be sure that your padlock will last through anything. This unique padlock is actually weatherproof and the hardened shell casing is very advantageous for its Lituim-Ion battery also. The NOKE keyless padlock is perfect for outdoors and using your smartphone’s Bluetooth 4.0 technology and lock or unlock it from 10 feet away (its minimum operational range). You can also share access to your NOKE with your friends by simply including them in your NOKE app, then they can use their smartphones to unlock it as well. Also, a special bike cable that cost $20 which stands as a shell for easy locking bicycles. It costs $59 for preorders and its retailing price will costs $89.

Your personal safety is of paramount importance, second comes your property and possessions and the rest is just pawn and loan stuff on a daily basis, but at least you got the NOKE keyless padlock for the little things that you cherish. Technology when used properly can be very advantageous for us all.

While we enjoy the little things in life and wallow in the routine and the familiar, we tend to forget some of the important stuff. Small items that are also very important such as watches, laptops, mobile phones and wallets gets misplaced and before you know it, they’re missing. Tile has found a way to help you keep track of your things without having to think about them all the time. Introducing the Tile Tracker! It is a fixed double sided adhesive object that you can stick on anything or hook it to your keychain in order to track the exact location of your important items all the time. By using the Tile app which is exclusive to iOS devices, the app itself will automatically notify you if either you or your personal belonging is getting left behind or being taken away from you.

 Mini Tech that Matters

This little gizmo is quite amazing even though at first it may seem insignificant, it has Bluetooth connectivity that links with your iPhone or any iOS device and it also has a GPS locator. This solves the problem of keeping track of your things and a worry less life is a wonderful life. Since Tile is using Bluetooth 4.0 it only works with the latest generation of iOS devices such as the iPhone 5, iPad mini, iPad 3, iPad 4 and iPad touch 5; and what’s more amazing about Tile Tracker is that you don’t have to worry about recharging it, because according to the developer will continue to function for up to one year from its activation date. The range of the Tile Tracker is approximately 100 – 150 feet radius which is huge considering the size of this device, it’s almost unbelievable, but we’re in 2015 now, so try to get over it. If in case your personal belongings got out of range, a crowdsourced solution website called Reveal Labs will help you find you lost items via homing in on the Tile Tracker device that’s unique to your iOS device. Reveal Labs will find the nearest iOS device to your lost/misplaced item and then notify them through the Tile app and in turn, the iOS device user will notify you exactly where your personal belongings are. Nifty trick, isn’t it?!

Tile Tracker Specifications:

Distance Indicator

 The iOS app will give you accurate details about the distance of your personal belongings from where you are and it also points you in the right direction, so you can easily find your items.

Item Ringer

By simply tapping on your iPhone app the Tile Tracker will ring which will guide you to its ringing sound and help you find your stuff.

Phone Finder

Crowd GPS

The real GPS (Global Positioning System) will cost too much to install in the Tile Tracker, not to mention that no GPS uplink will fit in its dimensions, so Tile came up with an inexpensive way to zero in on any Tracker and it’s called Crowd GPS. It works with the assumption that there are a few Tile Tracker users that are moving in a given space and each one will transmit and receive signals to and from your unique Tracker. Once your Tracker has been identified, it will notify you exactly where your lost item is with reference to the nearest Tile Tracker user. It’s almost like a high-tech eco-location of some kind.

Design Driven

This Tracker is made of anodized aluminum. The Tile is pretty affordable, each Tile costs $25 only and looking at its advantages it is highly recommend for use rather than losing $250 in your wallet, you credit cards, your IDs and other valuables. In the future Tile will use a battery-less sensor for their Trackers, so that there will be no need for replacement parts or recharging, but for now you can enjoy the Tile Tracker just the same as it has really cool features.

Technology has always existed as a means of making our everyday lives easier. And in our tech dominated world, there is a gadget to satisfy even the most weirdest of your needs. Think of any situation where an appropriate gadget might have saved you time and effort, and you can bet that someone somewhere have made a device to do exactly that, from letting you take selfies while simultaneously combing your hair to making sure that your significant other does not even dream of cheating on you with rings that imprint “I am married” on their fingers.

We have already shown you how some people are more than happy to spend big bucks on ridiculously expensive gaming gears that beats almost all attempts to justify their purchase. But that was just the tip of the iceberg.Because, here are some weird gadgets that you might never have known existed (at least I didn’t till a few days back); but believe me, exist they do.

Come May and we will witness Nvidia’s first foray into the TV console gaming market. The graphics giant, more known for its cutting edge GPUs, has been for the last couple of years trying to branch into a market dominated by the other three big players: Sony, Microsoft and Nintendo.

The Shield “Microconsole” which was recently announced by Nvidia, happens to be the company’s third offering in the Shield lineup (the other beylikdüzü escort two are the Shield tablet and the Shield handheld gaming console.)

(Also Read: Nvidia Claims Consoles Will Die Out By Next Generation)

The console which Nvidia calls the “Android TV console” is to come with a very powerful Tegra K1 processor, a Maxwell-generation GPU and 3 gigs of ram, running a version of Android.

The Shield’s hardware specs are weaker than both the PlayStation 4 and the XBox One, with Nvidia claiming performance figures to be twice that of the previous generation PS3 and the Xbox 360. However, what sets the Shield apart from its competitors is its advertised ability to stream 1080p resolution 60 fps gaming into your TV (where all the computing is done by Nvidia’s server farms via Nvidia’s grid service).

Needless to say, stable, high-speed internet connectivity is a must-have for this feature, with Nvidia recommending 15 Mbps.

Not only that, some of the year’s most anticipated games which include the latest iterations of the Witcher and Metal Gear Solid saga, will be available on launch for the Shield. Although the initial library will be small, this will likely be expanded rapidly in the future and with both AAA and Android games made available. So, if there’s one thing that you can be certain of about the forthcoming Shield console, it’s the obvious fact that  running out of good games is unlikely to be an issue – ever!

Nvidia’s approach certainly throws a new insight into the gaming industry. As today’s state-of-the-art hardware becomes average and then obsolete within a span of not more than 2-3 years, Nvidia’s champion with its cloud computing prowess could save a lot in expensive and regular hardware updates. Also, with its versatility and ability to stream 4k video output, Shield definitely has the potential to entice a lot of PC gamers who are looking to play their games on bigger screens and also want the accessibility of a console.

However, while the Tegra K1 processor is very capable, it will no doubt be surpassed by something more powerful sooner rather than later – especially if we choose to take the pace set in the Smartphone market as an indicator. This implies that Nvidia may be banking more on a strategy of much faster console upgrades, compared to current industry practice of following usually ten year cycles.

Even with its purported versatility, Nvidia’s offering may not get enough time to build its fan base before being eclipsed by the next upgraded model. Consumers may also shy away from the fact that while they will have upgrade their more traditional consoles once every ten years, going with the Shield might entail a more frequent and hence expensive upgrade cycle.

However, with the Shield being priced at $ 199 in the US, it is also cheaper than its competitors. This might assuage some of the upgrade fears. If the Shield can achieve its potential, very soon we might have a device that is not only capable of streaming 4k resolution output; but is also a dedicated gaming console to boot.

So, do you think Nvidia’s Shield has the potential to make it big in the worldwide gaming console market? Feel free to share your thoughts using the comment box below.
