ICEdot crash sensor notifies your loved ones after you eat it, tells them where to find you
Author:
Between powered gear shifters, electric motors and BMX-mounted mixers, bicycles merely keep getting much better– but no quantity of technological enlargement can easily sidestep the old proverb: security first. Yes, the helmet is a classic and needed accessory for cyclists, snowboarders and more. ICEdot and SenseTech expect to take the typical mind bucket to brand-new heights next year with a Bluetooth equipped crash sensing unit. Take a spill? The ICEdot sensor will bear in mind of the effect and start a countdown on its friend application. If the biker does not stop the timer before it reaches absolutely no, ICEdot will inform emergency contacts with the user’s last known GPS location and data on the severity of the accident. The accessory doesn’t have a company release date simply yet, but it will certainly make a look at the Interbike trade program later on this month. Smartphone enhanced safety will certainly set you back about $ 200 when it launches next year. Inspect out the sensing unit’s teaser video recording after the break.

OnStar Family Link brings loved ones closer together through vehicle tracking
Author: Jon Daniels
Add this to the ever-growing list of things we’re glad we didn’t have back when we were teenagers. GM this week announced the release of Family Link, the latest addition to its OnStar service. The new feature lets subscribers track the exact location of vehicles at any time via an online map. Subscribers can also set up a text message alert to keep on top of the car’s location. There’s certainly potential for the feature as a safety tool, but it’s also no doubt a long awaited addition for overbearing parents everywhere. The service is beginning life as an invitation-only pilot program that includes around 10,000 OnStar subscribers.

If You Loved Your Child, You’d Buy Them This $300 High Chair. But You Don’t.
Author: James Cliff
If you truly loved your child… nay, merely even considered them worth holding on to… I’d recommend this $ 300 Baby Bjorn high chair designed from the ground up to revolutionize the market for food into infant-mouth insertion activities. However, this thing is $ 300, which most parents would find too pricey. But isn’t baby worth that much? What has baby ever done to you that you can’t spend three bills on a small table with legs?
Nothing, that’s what.
As a parent, I’m fascinated by baby product marketing. It’s such a complete, closed culture based around fun, fear, and feeding and the suggestion that if you, as new parents, don’t buy X, Y, and Z-brand baby wipes warmers your child will come out wrong. The best part is that BabyBjorn followed this product from design to final unveiling with the intensity of a The Tree of Life. Greg at DaddyTypes points out that this video is part of a trilogy flogging this high-concept chair including an origin story:
As well as a kid jep thriller:
In the end, however, the story is basically “If you don’t buy this high chair, your child will never eat anything and you are a bad parent.” So get cracking, purveyors of love. Your kids need you.

Tonight’s How I Met Your Mother Was A Big Fat Microsoft Ad And I Loved It
Author: Angela Stephens
Did you catch How I Met Your Mother tonight? I love the show. But Mircosoft threw up all over tonight’s episode, Subway Wars. I’m serious. A Windows-banded notebook, a full-screen Bing map every five minutes, and Maury Povich carring an Xbox 360 Slim? Come on already.
I’m not going to bother uploading various clips to YouTube hours before it will hit CBS.com. Until then, enjoy these screenshots of the god-awful marketing job. Or rather, the somewhat ingenious marketing job that I’m totally helping to go viral…those sneaky Redmond bastards. (Minor spoilers after the jump)
It all started with Ted randomly pulling out a notebook at MacLaren’s Bar — nevermind the fact he has never done that before — emblazoned with a massive monochrome Windows logo on the lid. That made me smile. After all, there isn’t a stock notebook on earth with that logo and that was just the beginning of what turned out to be an all-out marketing assault.
The episode turned into a big race to see who could reach a certain NYC restaurant. Of course there had to be a full-screen Bing map was shown constantly with superimposed floating heads. But it didn’t stop. Oh no, Ted and his curiously-branded notebook was shown again, this time searching Bing for a website although Marshall totally said the URL just prior.
Towards the end of the episode, I totally expected to see a massive Windows Phone 7 advertisement when Ted and Marshall showed up in front of an electronic’s store with a person dressed up as a cell phone out front. Nope. Instead the two talked in front of a massive storefront window full of Microsoft products followed up with Maury Povich walking out of the store carrying an Xbox 360.
Microsoft, I got it. You wanna show off your goods. At least the show’s creators did it in such that was a gimmick and mildly amusing. Well done.

Leapster’s $70 Explorer learning handheld gets reviewed, loved by a father
Author: Stefanie Jenkins
Leapster inadvertently (or not) spilled the beans on a forthcoming learning handheld way back in May, and with nary a peep from the company, it has managed to launch said unit just as the next school year was fixing the start. The $70 handheld ain’t the cheapest in the world, and considering that the “learning” cartridges are $25 a pop, it won’t take long for this investment to get serious. USA Today‘s Ed Baig managed to wrangle one for review, and while he certainly let his kids do the dirty work, he couldn’t help but express frustration by the inability to use older games with this new system. Forward progress aside, Ed found his kids enamored by the device, and while that led to him making quite a few digital Leaplet purchases (downloadable games), it also kept his youngsters occupied and engaged in something beneficial. All told, he handed out 3.5 of 4 shiny stars to the minuscule device, and so long as you’re cool with daily demands for new software from Johnny and Jane, this might be the best back-to-school gift ever.
