Interactive guides are nice, but they can take up a screen. It would be great if you could have the guide show up on a remote, then when you select a show it will appear on the screen. That is what Sling is working on with the Sling Touch Remote.

The Sling Touch is a powerful remote with wireless capabilities. If you are in the basement and the game is starting, you just connect to the WiFi and set the SlingBox or another device. The guide will be there to help you through so you don’t need to run upstairs to make sure the record light is flashing.

Todd Cochrane talks with Anthony about this great new product from Sling. It’s also a universal remote and could be part of a bundled package, such as Dish network.

What are DECT phones? In a nutshell, it’s a  cordless phone. DECT phones are perfect for a wide wireless range around the home - The range of the handset will depend on the phone itself, but we are talking 400 ft at least. You can also use DECT phones like walkie-talkies.

The folks at Motorola show us the HS1001 – a cordless that is also a web browser. That way you don’t have to pull out your laptop and find out who is starring in your new favorite movie.  Andy McCaskey talks with Motorola to find out more about DECT and the HS1001.

This month on Podcastmadness.com – we give you a chance to win the Artisan 810 all-in-one printer. This is a printer that connects via WiFi so you do not have to run a cable to the printer. I have been using the Artisan line for a while now and really utilize the scanner and the ability to print pictures and PDF’s.

Just head over to Podcast Madness to get going. Listen to this week’s Podcast and the Day in Tech History to get your codes.

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.transformers-watch

 I have 5 great spots I go to if I need to get out of the house, get something to eat or drink and surf the web. Yes, 2 of those spots serve alcohol, but it’s not about the drinking. It’s all about getting out of the house and working.

Of course, WiFi is important to only a select few that like to take their laptops out and work or surf while having a bite to eat. With more people switching to mobile devices – whether a laptop, smartphone or Ultra-Mobile PC (UMPC) – people want to know where they can go to get connected. Even if it means just getting directions, checking over the hours of a store you want to visit, or just checking your email – from home or the office.
