It is a well known fact never to leave your dog unattended whenever you take it out for a walk, but sometimes even the most vigilant of us could lose our concentration during crucial moments, resulting in a pooch who desires to forge its own destiny outside the comforts of its kennel back home. Tracking down a wayward dog can be a pretty tricky thing, what more in a vast city. The Garmin DC30 GPS dog collar (spotted by us at CES07) will definitely provide you with the relevant peace of mind, capable of tracking up to 10 dogs simultaneously. It can last anywhere between 17 and 36 hours on a single charge, and will retail for $199.99 individually or $649.99 as part of an Astro 220 combo. Just make sure Lassie doesn’t venture beyond the 7-mile radius though in order for the DC30 to be effective.

Being a cyclist often leaves you somewhere near the bottom of the road user food chain, and despite having laws that help prevent untoward accidents on cyclists, bad things still happen due to a large number of factors - poor judgement, low visibility, and even the lack of turn signals that lead to confusion. This unique turn signal biking jacket solves at least one of those problems (two, if you happen to have fluorescent strips all over the jacket), featuring a turn signal that lets other people know just where you’re going at a junction. It works best against a dark background, but that could work against you in low light conditions.

Matrox Graphics (are they still alive?) has a new range of graphic cards - the M-Series. “M” stands for Multi-monitor, and the cards offer (only?) 512MB memory, native PCIe x16 and the ability to support up to 4 monitors. They’re not meant for ordinary office drones, but was specially designed to cater for display-hungry professionals including financial analysts, media professionals, bloggers, and folks who need to work on more than a single monitor at the same time. You can install up to two monitors per card, with resolutions maxing out at 2,560 x 1,600 per display, or four monitors at lower resolutions, depending on the card model. The M-Series consists of the following models : M9120 PCIe x16 ($259)M9125 PCIe x16 ($399)M9120 Plus LP PCIe x16 ($329)M9120 Plus LP PCIe x1 ($329)M9140 LP PCIe x16 ($599)They’ll roll out sometime in Q3 this year. I suspect that you can find Dual-Dual-Link DVI (drives two 2560×1600 displays) cards from either NVDIA or ATI that actually offers graphics performance at a lower cost…

Ah, finally the day has come where e-book readers resemble the traditional tome more and more, this time with a dual screen display for a more natural reading feel to it. This prototype functions like a normal book, and you can fold it back into a single-page version if you decide to conserve battery life, or choose to separate the pages so that you can share whatever you’re reading with another reader on the other side. It would be interesting to see just how long the battery life is on something like this. No idea on when the prototype will be turned into a mass manufactured device though.
Publisher’s note: Is there a need for dual-display ebooks? I don’t think so. I would rather have a one-dipslay e-book that does not have these huge bezels… I can only read one page at a time, but may be it’s just me…

Korea Electronics Technology Institute (KETI) has successfully developed an Eye Glass Display (EGD) module which is able to throw a 60″ virtual image connected to a mobile device as small as a cell phone. This EGD module accepts signals such as S-Vidoe, composite, component, and analog RGB signal from compatible external mobile devices, featuring a controller which is able to realize 3D images. Tipping the scales at a mere 110 grams and the ability to project at 60″, I can’t wait for this technology to go mainstream.

Most nightclubs feature bass-thumping audio to get one’s body grooving, and this club in Britain is no different. What makes it stand out from the other nightspots is the green theme, featuring a recycled water system to flush the loo, organic spirits served in polycarbon cups and even waiving the £10 cover charge if you can prove that you cycled, used public transport or walked to the venue. I wonder how they’re going to verify the 1,001 excuses people come up with, but it sure is a novel way of attracting more patrons. What’s most interesting is the fact that the energy-generating dancefloor will harness the energy exerted by the clubbers’ moves, turning it into electricity instead. Guess they had better employ somebody in the league of Paul Oakenfold if it wants to lower its monthly power bill.

Ask any jock and he’ll tell you that he can’t get enough of remote controls in his life, and wish that there was one which could shut the wife and kids up as well. The Remote Buddy is the perfect gift then for such a person, featuring a quartet of seats to hold your most frequently used remotes in a single location. Never again do you have to search for that wayward remote right before an important game comes on, and the fact that the Remote Buddy comes with a cup holder qualifies this to be a prime couch potato essential. Heck, it is even smart enough to locate lost remotes by pushing the button on the base to signal the missing device. The Remote Buddy can be yours for $59.98.

Word has it that Apple will be making some pretty significant changes to its iPod nano, and despite the improvements it will still retail for less than the current price, which is good news for customers. It seems as though Apple will be ramping up production of the iPod nano by an additional 15%. Are you planning to pick up a portable media player in the forseeable future? If yes, will you choose the 3G iPhone, since it boasts dual-functionality?
