Space Monkey: Rethinking Data

Imagine the cloud, but with no datacenters. The cloud, would be your hard drive. Except, your hard drive would be on steroids. Meet Space Monkey, a futuristic new hard drive that has a new look on the way that data should be stored. The Space Monkey looks like a regular hard drive, but looks can be deceiving. You can upload as many files as you want, as large as you want, for as long as you want. Space Monkey charges $10 per month for 1 terabyte (1,000 gigabytes). Trust me, this cloud storage opportunity is one to grab for. $10 for a terabyte is something that is biblical in this day in age. On Dropbox, for $10, you would get only 100 gigabytes. With Space Monkey, you get 10 times as more storage space as Dropbox. Space Monkey also has native mobile and tablet apps, where you can download and upload files from your Space Monkey. And don't worry about losing data either. Once you upload a file onto Space Monkey, it is encrypted and then a backup of the file is sent onto the Space Monkey network. All of your files are copied and then stored elsewhere. So long to your nightmares about getting hard drives stolen and losing all your data. Space Monkey truly is the future for cloud data storage.

Snooze: The iPhone turned Alarm Clock

Snooze: The iPhone turned alarm clock. Literally. Snooze, an iPhone alarm clock dock is an alarm clock for your iPhone. It comes with a charging cable, so your phone won't die over night. The accessory also has a large snooze button on top, that you can just slap if you feel like going back to sleep. The alarm clock uses a free app by Snooze as the alarm clock. It's Snooze on the app store. So, if you hate your old 1990s alarm clock, this may sound like something for you. See you tomorrow!

The Mini Printer

Happy Wednesday!! As the first campaign, I have chosen the mPrinter. The mPrinter, is basically just a mini printer. It prints on restaurant-receipt like paper, but can really print anything. From suduku to shopping lists, anything can be coded to be printed on the mPrinter. It connects over wifi, and can printed upon by just about any device. The mPrinter has succesfully reached and passed its Kickstarter goal, and you can preorder it on the mPrinter website.
