Western Digital's WD 2go App Creates a Personal Cloud for Your iPhone or Android Phone [Apps]

Western Digital has a new iOS and Android app that works with the My Book Live (an external hard drive). When you plug the My Book Live into your router at home, you can access all the files through the app, from anywhere in the world.

It's sorta like having your own personal cloud storage, you can read your documents, listen to your music, check out pictures, basically access anything that's stored on your external hard drive, on your phone. Even better you can upload whatever you do on your phone (videos, pictures) onto the My Book Live through the app, it's like carrying an extra terabyte of storage around. [WD]

This Is Houdini's Pre-iPhone Personal Message Signature [Houdini]

This Is Houdini's Pre-iPhone Personal Message SignatureHoudini was truly on the cutting edge. He wasn't just the first man to fight a robot on film. He also jumped on the quick and relatively dirty "I'm at brunch and messaging you" thing REAL early, too.

The Scout Observer: Your Personal SATCOM, Powered by iPhone [Accessories]

The Scout Observer: Your Personal SATCOM, Powered by iPhoneThere's not really much that needs to be said about this six-pound beast of a box than what's hinted at in the headline: Basically, this is a portable satellite communications device that's built around an iPhone dock.

Inside the box are a spectrum analyzer, power meter, multimeter and a Low Noise Block Downconverter. The latter of which means, basically, "a contraption that lets you locate and verify and measure satellite and other mobile signals." I have to assume the iPhone dock is there so that you can update your friends on Twitter about the status of the mission in real-time. "Dictator in my sight! #assassination #headshot #I'llbehomefordinner."

Get yourself in a load of trouble by picking this thing up when it ships sometime in Q4. [Scout via Engadget]

Personal Towel Warmer

by Edwin - on August 16th, 2011

You know on some airplanes, the flight attendants do hand to you a nice, hot towel for you to refresh yourself before the flight takes off. Well, you might not be a jet setter who spends more time on flights than back home, but that doesn’t mean you are exempt from experiencing a similar treatment. This time round, you will need to take the DIY route though, as Hammacher brings you the $79.95 Personal Towel Warmer.

Yes sir, this warming bin is capable of heating a couple of bath towels in just eight minutes, giving you access to spa-like comfort right smack in the middle of your own home. It will gently heat the towels to a soothing 135º F, while ensuring that the temperature is maintained for up to 20 minutes so that you will always have a nice, warm towel available right after your refreshing shower.

This Personal Towel Warmer takes up very little space – like that of a small garbage can, in fact, where it will get to work the moment the lid is closed and you press the button. Towels aren’t the only thing it keeps warm, it will also heat up bathrobes, blankets, or other reasonably-sized clothing.
