Logitech gear for flight simulation games

logitech-gear-for-flight-simulation-games-01s
Those who are into the games that involve the players more than a regular game does, are familiar with the amount of gadgets that are available in the market. Take Logitech, for example. The company has in its portofolio many force feedback racing wheels, but it has never had the chance, nor the guts to use the force feedback technology in devices aimed at the flight simulation games.

However, Logitech has just announced the so-called Flight System G940, which is designed to bring more realism than a setup consisting of a keyboard and a mouse could bring. If you want to be a real pilot, then you should act like one and you should be equipped like one.

The system I mentioned earlier includes the following components: a joystick, dual throttle, and rudder pedals that have their inspiration from the commercial aircraft and the military one as well. In addition, there are many, but many, possibilities for you to combine the buttons, so that you won’t have to worry about removing the hands from any of the controls anymore.

The Logitech gear designed for the flight simulation games is expected to become available sometime in September, this year, under a price of $299.99. Expensive or not, it’s up to you to decide whether you want to become a pilot or not. But if you do, the Flight System G940 will surely help you enjoy the best flying experience.

People don’t seem to have the great amount of eco-friendly devices up to their throats, even if there are more and more waiting to be released in the market. It’s a good thing, of course, because this can be considered an interest concerning the environment by the both manufacturers and customers.

In the given context, these new wireless music headphones are perfect for the new socially responsible world that we live in today. Called Q-Sound, the headphones were especially designed for the DAPs, also known as Digital Audio Players.

The great thing about them is that they are a mixture between the headphones, on one hand, and the headband, on the other hand, which makes it more easier for them to charge from the sun, due to the continuous exposure. The headband is made of a flexible plastic that includes the silicon solar cells designed to absorb the rays of light.

The Q-Sound is based on the Bluetooth technology, so that the user can connect the headphones to any Bluetooth-enabled device that he/she might own, from MP3 players to cell phones. If the device doesn’t have Bluetooth on board, you can always establish a connection through wires, using the 3.5 mm jack.

<-300x250 Medium Rectangle - center->

Designed by engineering student Shepeleff Stephen, these wireless music headphones are able to provide approximately 2.67 hours of operation, when the volume is maximum, after only one hour of sunlight charging. You will also have the possibility to use the headphones with two removable batteries, both NiMH and rechargeable, that have a capacity of 800mAh and an operating voltage of 1.2V. You can use them with these batteries for approximately 40 hours.

The police speedboat, your kid’s wildest dream?

the-police-speedboat-your-kide28099s-wildest-dream-01s
Children usually have an imagination that is able to amaze people and to make them ask themselves how in earth a human being of no more than a couple of years old can come up with all sorts of ideas that wouldn’t cross their minds in a million years.

the-police-speedboat-your-kide28099s-wildest-dream-011


They want to be the characters they see in movies and cartoons, they want to have the toys their friends have, they imagine living in fantasy worlds that do not and will never exist. But this is their charm, after all.

However, what are you supposed to do when your kid comes to you and confesses that he/she would really like to have a police speedboat, because it would help them become the defender of justice and peace, just like they’ve seen on TV?

<-300x250 Medium Rectangle - center->

You should take into consideration the Children’s Inflatable 2MPH Speedboat, offered by Hammacher Schlemmer. Not only it will make your kid’s dream a dream come true, but it will also give him the chance to spend the summer outdoors.

The speedboat isn’t a police speedboat, just like your little one might want, but it provides a speed of 2mph when sailing on calm waters, in areas like pools or small ponds, which is more than the word “safe” can describe.

“The outboard electric motor is controlled by a child sitting in the inflated hull – a handhold with a finger trigger turns the motor on or off immediately; the boat can accommodate two children at once. The motor drives a shrouded propeller with no exposed blades that provides smooth movement over calm water; the motor can be turned 360°, so even backward movement is possible.”

The speedboat runs on eight D batteries that are able to provide approximately five hours of continuous operation. When deflated, it measures 25 x 13.5 x 8 inches, so you can easily store it when the summer ends, while inflated measures 53 x 25 x 8 inches.

The “police speedboat” can be purchased from Hammacher Schlemmer for $99.95.
