The Ultimate Clicker You can’t control the universe from your living room, but you can control the electronics in your house (up to 15 devices) using Logitech’s Harmony 1000 remote. Ditch the pile of clickers on your coffee table: This universal remote uses infrared and radio frequency technology to control HDTVs, DVD players and even household appliances (like ceiling fans and air conditioners). When paired with the Harmony Wireless Extender ($149.99), which has a wireless range of 100 feet, the remote can control devices in multiple rooms. $499.99 Stargazing, 2.0For the people on your list with stars in their eyes, Celestron’s SkyScout may be the perfect gift. This handheld device, the size of a small camcorder, uses GPS technology to identify stars, planets and constellations, and provides their history and mythology. Point the handheld at a specific target in the sky, and SkyScout will identify it. Or, choose a star or planet from the database, and SkyScout will help you find it. Using arrows on the viewfinder (much like a GPS mapping system), SkyScout can direct you to your celestial destination. The SkyScout runs on two AA batteries. $399 MP3 Maven’s Stocking-Stuffer For superlative sound from MP3 files, check out Creative’s Xmod. This device restores details that MP3 files lose during compression. Creative’s Xtreme Fidelity technology analyzes tracks, identifies damaged parts and converts them to approximately 24-bit sound quality (CDs are 16-bit quality) by enhancing high and low frequencies. Essentially acting as a surrogate sound card, this device connects to your MP3 player or Windows or Mac PC. $79.99 A Little Down Time, Circa 2007 Lands’ End has created a beanbag chair the likes of which you have not seen, or heard, before. When connected to an MP3 player like the Apple iPod, the iBeanbag Chair, which features dual speakers and a subwoofer for surround sound, promises to deliver a “live experience.” Feel like watching a movie? It also hooks up to a laptop or DVD player for a home theater experience. Perfect for teens. $199 A Computer Bag Fashionistas Can LoveToday’s notebook PCs are sleek, but most bags that hold them are stuck in Uglyville. A few bags with fashion and business sense have emerged, like the Elegant Leather Tote from Targus. Its padded compartment fits laptops with up to 15-inch screens. Available in red or black, it has plenty of interior pockets. $149.99 Related content BrandPost The future of trust—no more playing catch up Broadcom: 2023 Tech Trends That Transform IT By Eric Chien, Director of Security Response, Symantec Enterprise Division, Broadcom Mar 31, 2023 5 mins Security BrandPost TCS gives Blackhawk Network an edge with Microsoft Cloud In this case study, Blackhawk Network’s Cara Renfroe joins Tata Consultancy Services’ Rakesh Kumar and Microsoft’s Nilendu Pattanaik to explain how TCS transformed the gift card company’s customer engagement and global operati By Tata Consultancy Services Mar 31, 2023 1 min Financial Services Industry Cloud Computing IT Leadership BrandPost How TCS pioneered the ‘borderless workspace’ with Microsoft 365 Microsoft’s modern workplace solution proved a perfect fit for improving productivity and collaboration, while maintaining security of systems and data.
