The top-requested Google Glass improvement is now a reality, as Google unveils its plan for prescription Google Glass frames.
Available Monday at the Google Glass Web site, prescription frames for the Internet-enabled headset cost $225, in addition to the $1,500 entry fee to the Explorer program. Google is adding four titanium frame styles — Bold, Curve, Thin, and Split — and two new tinted shade styles — Classic and Edge — to the mix. The tinted shades will cost $150.

Gaming headsets are dime a dozen in the market, so to make the right pick could prove to be a rather challenging task for a gamer who is relatively wet behind the ears. Mad Catz has the owners of the Sony PS4 and Sony PS Vita in their crosshairs by introducing the new Kama stereo headset which is touted to deliver affordable quality, comfort and simplicity in a single package. It might be a “poor man’s version” of the higher end models from Mad Catz, but this does not mean it will skimp on quality and give you sub-par performance associated with throwaway headsets. In fact, the Kama stereo headset will boast of components derived from TRITTON’s premium headsets, hence allowing it to deliver impressive audio performance and exceptional value for money.

A few weeks back I finally broke down and bought the ESET Smart Security suite (review). I needed two licenses for it, and I decided to just buy the two-year subscription up front so that I could take advantage of the extra savings. In the end my total came out to $103.99, but it was worth it for two licenses and two years of protection from one of the best security companies around. And if the VB100 test is anything to go by it’s one of the best antivirus programs available.
The Smart Security comes with antivirus, antispyware, firewall, and antispam all rolled into one. Out of all the security apps that I’ve used ESET’s products always provide the best performance in addition to exceptional protection.
For those of you who want to jump on the bandwagon I just noticed that Newegg has a relatively good deal on both the Smart Security and standalone NOD32 antivirus apps. They all have free shipping, and that means you will receive a physical boxed product instead of just a username/password and download link. Here are the prices for the different apps:
- Smart Security 3.0 (Retail) – $49.99
- NOD32 Antivirus 3.0 (Retail) – $34.99
- NOD32 Antivirus 3.0 (OEM) – $29.99
Those are actually a pretty good deal if you’re not buying multiple licenses and don’t want to commit to two years. Here’s a price layout if you purchase directly from ESET (remember, you won’t receive a physical copy of the product with these):
Smart Security 1-Year | Smart Security 2-Year | NOD32 1-Year | NOD32 2-Year | |
1 User | $59.99 | $89.99 | $39.99 | $58.99 |
2 Users | $69.99 | $103.99 | $55.99 | $82.99 |
3 Users | $89.99 | $133.99 | $71.99 | $106.99 |

The world of motorsports might look like a waste of money at first glance, but it is more often than not the place that gives birth to technologies which eventually make their way to production cars – which in turn, would also help save lives of humans. Take the likes of ABS for instance, how many accidents have been prevented because of the introduction of ABS? Having said that, Nissan intends to jump into the endurance race arena this season by introducing the extraordinarily efficient engine which can be found in the Nissan ZEOD race car. This engine could eventually end up as the basis for new developments in its production cars.

Boy, this kid is fearless. Actually, I’m not sure Kahlei Stone-Kelly from Australia is even old enough to be called a kid. He’s just a baby. A two-year-old toddler in diapers who’s already better at skateboarding that many full grown human adults. Just look at him go and display excellent balance, a little bit of trickery and a whole ‘lotta cool as he glides on that board.
