Air Keyboard – Wireless Motion Control For Your Computer-HDTV Setup
December 1, 2010
What is an Air Keyboard and why do you need one for your living room? Well that’s what we thought when we first heard of it, but it does make sense as there’s been a massive trend recently of people hooking up their new HD TVs to their PCs. This has been largely due to the addition of HDMI outputs on new graphics cards and the new style mini PCs that are so compact they fit right alongside your DVD / Blu-Ray player and surround sound system.
The main problem with this kind of setup that we’ve come across at GFM HQ is that they become a lot more difficult to interact with. While you can opt for a wireless keyboard and mouse but they become a nightmare to balance on your knee and to use them properly you need your gran’s lap tray – not the coolest accessory to be seen with.
Magic Wand Remote Control – Be A Technology Wizard With This Universal TV Zapper!
November 25, 2010
We’ve all read the books or seen the films, and of course we’d all love to be able to cast magic using a wand. Well now you can get one step closer with a Magic Wand Remote Control which is designed to look and work just like a wand a la Harry Potter.
This will be a great gift for Christmas, especially after you’ve all stuffed yourselves with food and are sat down in front of the TV for the night and can barely move. Well fear not, as with just a swish of the magic wand and you’ll be channel surfing in no time. Yes, you can use your normal remote controls or even an iPhone Universal Remote Control if you wish, but where’s the fun in that?
Remote Controlled Colour Changing Light Bulbs
September 23, 2010
Now and again we stumble across a gadget that gets everyone in the office a little bit excited. The remote Controlled Colour Changing Light Bulbs sent waves of child-like giddiness through more than one of the GFM team.
It did this because it obeys some of the great rules of “For Men” gadgetry – Turn an everyday boring item into a brilliant piece of remote controlled gadgetry that does not cost the earth to buy!
Light bulbs use to be the bane of a man’s existence as they always needed changing and on the hole were pretty dull. They could be made slightly more interesting if you forked out for a red bulb for the bedroom, in the hope of tricking some lusty lady into thinking she was on the scene of a rough 80s “special interest” film set, but only a few had the talent to pull this off and not look like a proper weirdo.
Fat Boy – Giant Bean Bag
June 7, 2010
I remember when every bedroom couldn’t be without a bean bag or two. They were one of those must-have accessories and they’re pretty comfortable too to be honest. However, big bean bags have never been seen like this before. For the first time ever, everyone will want a Fat Boy. It may even become legal requirement to sit on a Fat Boy…OK enough with that!
The Fatboy have been seen before on Channel 4’s hit (or perhaps something that rhymes with that anyway) TV show Big Brother. It’s extremely versatile, you can lie on it, you can sit on it as it moulds around your every move.
