Home Security. It’s getting easier to install and configure. We’ve already seen some great plug and play security, but why not get it from a company like D-Link, who has focused on internet and it’s security for years now.

Todd Cochrane talks with Stephen over how this new system can keep your family secure. All devices are plug and play and can be accessed over a browser. The system only cost $149.99 and you will have everything you need for protection. Cameras, motion detectors, keypad sensor and more.

Further, any entry to the home and you will get an alert – either through email or SMS. Add the Z Wave system and you turn on and off devices when needed.

I always said “If someone would make a good mount for iPhone, they could change the way people take video.” Well, Tiffen has done it with the Tiffen Steadicam Smoothie.

Tiffen has made several Steadicam products for years. This model is made specifically for iPhone, Droid and Flip cameras. Todd Cochrane talks with Chrissie on this great innovation. There is no release date or price just yet, but as Chrissie said – Just watch the website.

But I want one now….

Home monitoring is something that is definitely been on my mind. While I don’t have crazy expensive equipment, if I was to loose my data – It would be a tough thing to get back. But Vuezone can help with protection and peace of mind.

Their iPhone Application allows you to monitor your home wirelessly. It’s a $299 package system – including a base station and two watch cell powered battery cameras, with option to add up to fifty cameras. It can post to YouTube of Flickr – publicly or privately.

Andy McCaskey talks with Vuezone in this CES video. They talk about how from the iPhone App, you can select individual cameras, and share certain cameras with others. You can also record up to 2GB of video and view online from any browser for a service fee of $19.95 per year.

I’m from Wisconsin – Therefore those Brett Favre commercials took a new light. But for others, it simply is an issue everyone faces: What should I buy?

TVMatchmaker.com andCameraMatchMaker.com are two new sites offered by Sears. Both sites will help consumers research new TV or Cameras. Sears has a full line of cameras and televisions sets from various manufactures. Finding a TV is just moments away when you visit the respective sears site.

Todd Cochrane talks with the folks at Sears and how these sites will help out. I think he even got a signed photo from Brett Favre.

The first event of the week is CES unveiled. This was over at the Venitian and it highlights some of the products in CES all in one room. The event was pretty much packed as everyone wanted to get that first interview. The Lenovo booth, for example, was completely flooded with people. I remember trying to get over to BOXEE and had to deal with a bunch of cameras.

Interestingly enough about CES unveilied, I was able to get a “VIP” ticket, but for some reason, the rest of the crew got in before me.

You might remember the products. You might remember the hype. Then, you are tooling down highway 41 years later and all of a sudden you think to yourself – “Hey, whatever happened to…”

Failed ideas. Maybe it was a great idea, but wasn’t made right, or design errors brought it down. Maybe it was just a bad product. Well, let’s take a stroll down memory lane and see if we cannot repeat these errors again.

Oh yeah, why 16? Well because we could.

The Computer Watch: Whether it was the Ruputer, the MSN Direct ‘Smart’ Watches, the Timex Data Link Watch or another gadget watch – BTW – I remember having a “Transformers watch”. It was awesome!

Still, the Dick Tracey style communication watches, the “Computer on a wrist”, never really hit it off. I even remember a watch that gave you directions. You would put in the paper tape and turn a little dial to indicate where you are and where you are going.

Remember looking at the stars in the Radio Shack special telescope? Learning about the stars and what they make? I remember having a device that you would turn the dial to line up the date with the direction and it would tell you where the stars lay.
