[CES 2014] To do the same thing and expect a different result, that would be madness, which is why the folks over at iRobot, purveyors of robotic technology-based solutions, intends to change the way that robotic vacuum cleaners keep your home nice and clean by delivering the iRobot Scooba 450 that is touted to clean your floors in a new way. The iRobot Scooba 450 will be available in North America from tomorrow onward, where it will make use of the new Scooba Three-Cycle Cleaning Process in order to maintain constantly clean floors as well as wash away up to 99.3% of bacteria. Not only that, the Scooba 450 has also been touted to be up to three times more effective at cleaning floors compared to previous Scooba models, at least according to iRobot.
As we mentioned earlier, the Scooba Three-Cycle Cleaning Process will automatically sweep and pre-soak, as it scrubs and then finishes with a final squeegee. The scrubbing brush itself will spin at more than 600 rpm in order to remove grime and messes, where it comes with an updated iAdapt Responsive Navigation Technology that has been optimized for wet floor care. The Scooba 450 can be used anywhere you would use a mop and bucket, and it is a no-brainer to use. You get cleaning options to choose from – a full 40-minute cycle for up to 300 square feet or a 20-minute cycle for smaller spaces up to 150 square feet. [Press Release]

[CES 2014]It’s not news that Sony is investing heavily in the 4K content pipeline from end-to-end, meaning that they have solutions that span from when the content is created to when it is watched in people’s homes. In 2014 and with the rise of HEVC (a better compression standard for 4K videos), Sony can push deeper into 4K territory. That’s what the Bravia X line of television has been designed for. (more…)

[CES 2014] The folks over at Steiger Dynamics are certainly going out on a limb here, having announced the new MAVEN Home Theater PC which is touted to be the “most powerful Home Theater PC”, at least in its class. The asking price of $999 a pop will set a new standard when it comes to Home Theater PCs in the modern day living room. Boasting of a sleek design as well as extremely silent operation, it makes it a snap to integrate with the different kinds of home theater components that you have lying around. When you merge it with the likes of a large screen Full HD or 4K TV, the MAVEN should be able to see off the likes of Blu-ray players, DVRs, Desktop PCs and gaming consoles.
The MAVEN Home Theater PC claims to place the new generation of consoles to shame as it offers the fastest as well as most detailed gaming graphics that are available in the market at the moment. Depending on the kind of configuration that it comes with, the latest games can be played in native 4K or Full HD (both in 2D and 3D), delivering an extremely smooth viewing experience of 60+ frames per second, right there from the comfort of your couch.

[CES 2014] Every year at CES, companies are eager to push the limits to technology and have never been shy about unveiling new television products. Sometimes these products are bigger and better than we might have expected and we guess this is more about showing off what they can do, as opposed to trying to sell it to us. After all, not everyone can afford a whopping 100” television set, can then? Well Sharp will be at CES 2014 this year and sure enough the company is looking to impress with several high-end television sets, ranging from televisions featuring 8K displays, to televisions sporting Sharp’s IGZO display technology.

[CES 2014] CES is a great opportunity for companies to share their latest technology advancements not just to show off their prowess, but also to offer customers a chance to purchase their latest technological products. Sharp has recently unveiled 8K devices which are presumably more for show than for purchase, but if you’d like to actually learn more about products that you can purchase, fret not because Sharp has you covered as well through their new range of AQUOS Quattron+ (Q+) television devices that will range in the 60-inch, 70-inch, and 80-inch classes that will feature Full HD panels but at the same time also have the ability to play 4K content thanks to its upscaling technology.

[CES 2014] As amazing as it is to see gigantic televisions, most of us have to be practical simply because most homes aren’t big enough to fit such devices. Even if you could get them to fit, the sheer size of the screen will probably end up making you tear as you might end up sitting too close. Putting that aside, they are technological marvels and at CES 2014, LG has unveiled their 105-inch 105UC9 Ultra HD television feature which sports a 21:9 aspect ratio and an eye-watering display resolution of 5120×2160, and will be powered by LG’s new webOS Smart TV platform which we have been hearing about recently..
