There is always a need for disposable and secure email addresses. I had a bunch of junk Hotmail addresses years ago for handling spam and subscriptions I didn’t want going to my main email address. Thanks to Gmail, I’ve whittled it down to only one, but maybe I should just dispose of it and get the Gliph app. It’s basically, this app is like the Burner app we featured a couple of days ago, but for email addresses.

Gliph is a free app for iPhones, Android and mobile devices. You can use it to send cloaked messages to other Gliph users or use it to send and receive emails to anyone through your regular email client. An example would be Craigslist transactions, which are always somewhat spammy. Unlike other free services like Gmail and Hotmail, Gliph email addresses are easy to create and delete, and all your emails sent via your addresses come to a central location, so there’s no need to log on onto multiple accounts.

When you open the app, you get to pick a string of 3 to 5 icons that represents you, instead of using a username. You get one free randomly generated email address when you sign up for Gliph, and once you’ve invited at least 5 friends, you can send attachments too.

We’ve seen it leak out a couple of times, but Sony’s next eReader is finally upon us. Those looking for something revolutionary won’t find it here, but Sony has made little tweaks here and there that should make your reading experience somewhat more pleasant. You’re still looking at the same 6-inch screen, with the E-Ink Pearl display refining touch support and adding more graceful paper-esque page turns and zooms along with improved continuous page turns.

Just as we learned last week, the dimensions of the eReader have been tweaked slightly, with the PRS-T2 coming in a 0.38-inches thick and weighing 5.9 ounces. The four navigational buttons beneath the screen have also been adjusted, with Sony making them larger and easier to push. The company says that the device should get up to two months of battery life (assuming WiFi is turned off, of course), and there’s 2GB of storage of all your digital books.

Sony is still offering access to its online services too, and a nice little bonus is the ability to borrow around 15,000 ebooks from its public library system if you have a valid library card. Sony’s Reader store is still on tap as well, offering magazines and newspapers via a web-based store. Anyone choosing to read a novel via web browser can do so via Chrome, Safari, Internet Explorer and Firefox.

Finally, Sony is throwing in a free copy of Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone from the Pottermore store. The company will bundle a download code that will grant you access to the ebook once you’ve purchased the ereader. The device itself will set you back $129.99, and Sony says it’s shipping right now via its online store.

So your iPhone is the main mode of communication with the rest of the civilized world, be it through a phone call, text message or over a social network status update. Well, for those who love to merge the old and the new, here is the $19.99 CB Radio iPhone Handset which might just be your cup of tea – specially designed to resemble an old school CB Radio handset, it will instead function as an accessory for your handset. There is a mute button that makes the conversation work just one way for that added bit of realism, not to mention the CB Radio iPhone Handset comes with its own battery so that it need not tax your iPhone’s battery even further, not to say that the iPhone is able to last very long in the first place anyways.

All you need to do is plug in the CB Radio iPhone Handset into your iPhone, where it will also work with other smartphone with a 3.5mm headphone jack, and crank up the fun factor for retro fans. There is a dial located on the side that turns the unit on, while pumping up the volume. The microphone itself has been integrated into the cord for superior sound pickup.

MMORPG fans, if World of Warcraft: Mists of Pandaria is the expansion you’ve been waiting for, or if you’re unsure if you want to play this expansion, then you’re in luck as the cinematic trailer has been released at the Gamescom 2012 expo. It certainly looks like it could be an epic expansion, and as expected from Blizzard, the cinematic is pretty top-notch in terms of production quality. Of course given that there are pandas involved and there’s a lot of action going on, we can’t help but think of the Kung-Fu Panda movie, although we’re pretty sure that the name “Po” (and its variations) have already been reserved. We know that World of Warcraft is currently facing a decline in its subscribers, so perhaps Mists of Pandaria will be able to lure both old and new players into the game. So World of Warcraft players out there, what do you think of the cinematic trailer, and are any of you planning on coming back for Mists of Pandaria?

Perhaps you’re not quite ready to cut the cord just yet, ever reliant on multiple tuners to get your television fix. The latest set-top box from TiVo should go a long way to helping you watch and archive everything, today introducing the Premiere 4. The box shares similarities between the Premiere XL4 that was announced earlier this year, with a shared design, quad-tuners, and the same connection ports.

Thanks to 500GB of storage, TiVo says around 75 hours of HD programming will be able to be recorded to the box before it fills up, and the company’s custom user interface helps customers find programmes with relative ease. When searching for a particular show, the box not only checks cable listings, but also online services such as Netflix, Hulu Plus, and Amazon Instant Video.

The box is compatible with digital cable (QAM) and Verizon FIOS, with ports including HDMI, Component, Composite, and optical plus analogue audio. CableCARD support is onboard, and other inputs include Ethernet, two USB 2.0 ports, eSATA, and MoCA. A TiVo Wireless N or G wireless adapter can also be plugged into the box if you don’t fancy running an Ethernet cable through your living room.

The Premiere 4 costs $249.99 outright, but comes with a one-year contract and a $14.99 monthly fee. TiVo says the box should be available starting from today online, with the device also heading to various home theater and Magnolia stores across the country in the near future.
