Gadgettes Podcast 163: The Technology We're Thankful For Episode
Today's cornucopia of technology is perfect for when you travel to visit your family for the Thanksgiving holiday. Some tech makes getting there safer and capturing the moment easier. Other tech was meant for your escape from the in-laws. loadUniversalPlayer({playerType: 'small',lumiereQueryType: 'id',lumiereQueryValue: '50079785',useCurrentPageUrl: true,relatedVideo: false,preRollAd: true,hideLeftTab:true,wrapperFloat:'left'}); Listen now: Download today's podcast Subscribe with iTunes (audio)Subscribe with iTunes (video)Subscribe with RSS (audio)Subscribe with RSS (video) EPISODE 163 Next year’s Flip will do Wi-Fi GPS in smartphones Touch up your iPhone photos–with cats!

I love Gadgettes, and I love gadgets. But I have to ask what’s wrong with these girls who don’t have any love for the guys rocking a more “old school” style. I couldn’t imagine steering clear of a man just because he has outdated technology! I may carry my iPod Touch and 3G phone everywhere I go, but I find my boyfriend’s lack of tech refreshing and sweet. For one thing, I never have to worry about him answering his phone or texting when we’re at dinner, because he only turns on his cell when he’s traveling. And if I need any information when we’re on the go, I have my own devices for that! Still totally a fan, Katie Hey Guys, I’ve been watching the show for a while and I think it’s HILARIOUS!!! I laugh out loud every time. My mom’s birthday was a couple of weeks ago. But the moment you mentioned the tea kettle I knew that it would be perfect for my mother. She loves fancy kitchen toy and I used some of my saved up birthday, holiday, and allowance money to buy the kettle as a surprise. It is actually awesome, we set it up which may have taken us an hour but after reading the manual which comes in a variety of languages we finally set it up. It tells the time and does everything you said it does, it’s also good because me and my mother are russian (I was born here in New York but my mom was born and raised in moscow) and since she’s from europe she’s used to 24-hour time and Celsius which are the only presets available on the kettle so she understands it better than me. Overall even I’m impressed with it. It’s sleek and the screen looks great!!! Even I like it!!! ALSO I use the mighty mouse which has for buttons, for expose and regular clicking, and it does increase functionality!!! : ) Hoping This Gets Read on the Show Sincerely, Daniel PS. I Got My mothers permission for you to show the attached pictures on the show PPS. Am I a tool?

Well the nerdy side of me could no resist bringing up that you were bascially describing the story line from Star Trek IV The Voyage Home. Love the show. R.B. Freedom Leg I wish I had this option in 2000 when I broke my right leg at the ankle David Eckard Hey, I am really into new gadgets. I usually purchase most of the new electronics that come out. It’s funny because in your last podcast you guys mentions dating habits in reference to technology, and right after that one of my coworkers asked me out. I started to give him my number, but when I asked for his phone to put my number in, his phone looked like a jitterbug. I made a few jokes about his phone not having a color display, which was enough to deflect from me not giving him my number. He’s a Verizon customer, and they are constantly contacting him pretty much begging him to upgrade his phone. He’s even been offered a free phone, but he still will not do it. I really enjoy your listening to your podcasts. You guys are awesome. Thanks, Jazz

Gadgettes Podcast 161: The geeks in love episode
Sometimes a gadget comes along that sweeps you off your geeky feet. Also, it's not very often that a curiously upholstered SUV comes along and crashes into the podcast like a wrecking ball.

We all know that we’re supposed to unplug our appliances when we’re not using them – and we know that plugging/ unplugging is a pain and also potentially damaging to the cord. So – how about twisting the outlet to make it go on/off? Genius! Cianna Stewart Hi Gadgettes, I found these today from a link on Reddit and became flabbergasted. I thought I knew what pants were until this. I cannot even begin to imagine what segment this would go to. They make them for women too. -Erick from Michigan I can’t decide if this is best for Bling RX, Tool Time or What The Hell? All I know is my mind is melting a little reading about the SUV with whale penis leather interior and gold-plated bulletproof windows.

I was just doing some of my normal, day to day internet browsing when I stumbled upon…. the most…. hysterically horrifying thing, I have ever seen. Nothing has screamed Gadgettes to me more than the gem that is the Palm Beach Sugar Daddy Ken Doll, complete with white dog and pink leash. I know this has nothing to do with tech, which is why I propose a new segment! D-bag of the week! Enjoy! Kyle Hey gals (& guy), Just listened to “The Bad Marketing Episode” and was slightly amused by the seven patty Whopper. Until I saw the youtube video of some Japanese guy trying to bite it. Then it was hilarious!!!! Here's the link. BTW I wish I could speak Japanese so I could understand what they're saying.:) Great show, sometimes politically in correct but, always hysterical!

Does owning a Gold Dolce & Gabbana MOTORAZR make me a tool? I do enjoy showing it off, especially when with friends and family, but keeping in mind, I didn't purchase this but in fact found it in the trash, What with my friend having a Pink version, I used her spare battery and flashed the device to a working state. Does owning one of these give me the status of "Tool"??? Love the show! (Welcome back molly!) Cheers, NKP, (Australia) E-Mail Hey ladies (and one dude): Remember The Alien Abduction Lamp you guys talked about a loooong time ago (I’m talking from way back–this was pre-Jason, and I think Molly was still on maternity leave) in "The 'is it art?' Episode"? And how it was only a proof-of-concept and not actually for sale? Well good news because now it’s for sale for realz, bee-yotches! I signed up for the e-mail notifications from the designer, Lasse Klein, ages ago and finally got the news I’d been waiting over 3 years for: the lamp has landed. And it still comes with the adorable little cow abductee from those concept shots way back when. Woohoo! You might need to be quick, though, because apparently they’re only making 2000 of them. I already reserved mine. Love the show!

Ladies: I don’t understand this. Is it a car, is it a cupcake, is it a costume for Dragon*Con? And why kind of drugs do I need to get one. Sean P Reiser Hi Gadgettes, Dan from Boston here. I was listening to episode 156 while making dinner and could not believe my ears when you listed the Foreman Grill as one of those things you would never think to use. I was literally wiping mine off before grilling up some chicken to put in a salad when I heard you say that! Mine is quite possibly my favorite kitchen gadget (after the coffee makers of course). I use that thing all the time to make grilled cheese, hotdogs, burgers, grilled PB&J sandwiches (sounds weird, but tastes great. trust me on this one), etc. Maybe it’s just because I’m a bachelor and just recently decided to start really learning my way around the kitchen, but the Foreman Grill is one of those things I look for excuses to use. The pizzelle maker someone gave me on the other hand…yah, still no idea when I’ll ever use that.

Have you ever smelled that one dead mouse that crawled behind the baseboard & died. Now multiply that by 10. Ewww! Susan the tech from VA Mes Gadgettes, I am neither a doctor nor a woman so I am, of course, ideally suited to comment on the various offerings in the recent “Lady Parts” episode. Toradol tampons? Well, Toradol is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug used to relieve moderately severe, acute pain with side effects including ulcers, internal bleeding and fluid retention. Not to be used for more than five days in all, by the way. Somehow, it doesn’t sound like a good idea to park this drug anywhere near your reproductive system any time of the month. And don’t get me started on Latisse. Hypotrichosis sounds like another made-up “disease” to be cured with an “off label” drug use. Remember, Thalidomide? It was prescribed to pregnant women to prevent nausea and how’d that work out? But the rest of the show was a gas as usual.

(Via - everyone, including BornRich.) It's like those projection systems in the mall, but on a pool table! So cool. So, using a series of infrared motion detectors and a projector, it can project effects on the pool table based on the motion of the balls. For example, according to the article (see pics), it can do water or fire trailing effects. ...and this can be yours for the low low price of 125,000USD! I bought two just in case one breaks.

Love the guys Ross were you aware that you have a wiki? I didn’t make it, and it has almost nothing on it. The real reason that i brought it up is that you guys commonly mention how many segments you have. There is a page that manages to keep track of the common ones. with a little housekeeping, it could be an interesting way to take care of that mess of things like “golf crap” that are very uncommon.
