Going by the available images, I feel convinced that owning the SofaBox is no less than investing in an asset. Good part is it can be unfolded irrespective of your location, enabling you sit and relax and adore the environs. Priced at $2700, it may seem to be a pricey deal but in contrast with standard stuck-up sofa seating, it is a wise option. Unlike regular sofas that expect you to hold it while sitting over it throughout the day, this one is elite in literal sense. The best part is you can wrap it back in a box if not in a use, hence less chances of dirt.

Offering a complete stability of portability and usability is the Wireless Arc Mouse from Microsoft that is anticipated to hit coming winters. There effort to conceal the news about the product until its launch go waste as the word has already got leaked from MaximumPC. And we are not inked any contract with them to follow the embargoes but are more interested in breaking news for our geeky audience. It’s clever design that creases up for portability and widens out for dexterity. Priced at $59.95, it is a valuable update to the pool of travel mice we have come across so far.

While no information on technology involved, we have lost our heart to its bleeding deep red color. If red doesn’t matches your taste then free feel to keep your hands upon black and white version but still months away.

While this being just a concept, eyebrows are raised for the worthy contender to manufacture this concept and I seriously doubt the safety factor involved.

Picture this: Predators have become ordinary residents of your city killing half-a-dozen men and keeps making that uncanny clamor as it trails you. Carl Weathers and Jesse Ventura fail to help you in either way. Regrettably, predators have that distinct disguise that would pose a big question against your survival and letting you share your horrifying tale with someone until you possess some device that can show you his heat source.
One such device is this Handheld Thermal Imager that combines a noticeable light digital figure with an infrared one, thereby offering you a single view that lets you get an instantaneous visual temperature map of whatsoever you aim it at.

Retailed at $7500, these imagers are developed for heavy-duty industrial troubleshooting and safety functions, but there’s no cause you can’t use it to snag yourself a predator before it ignites an atomic bomb from its wrist.
