Frame your memories online [New Straits Time (Malaysia)]


(New Straits Time (Malaysia) Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) FOR those who use digital photo frames, the Pix-Star Foto- Connect XD digital picture frame does more than just show off photos. It has many useful and special features.

The 15-inch digital picture frame is connected to Cloud and, once the initial configuration is complete, it can run on full autopilot, allowing one to receive photos via email and to play back a slideshow automatically. With a 4:3 display ratio that makes it ideal for a majority of the digital camera formats, the Pix-Star is able to integrate with over 20 online services, including the likes of Dropbox, Facebook, Google+, FlickR and Instagram among others.



Setting it up takes just minutes and it relies on WiFi to access the Internet and carries its very own email address, so you can send photos to it directly. Not only that but the Pix-Star can also configure alarms to remind one of birthdays, meetings and doctor appointments.

A neat and tidy home, soft lighting, comfortable furniture and soothing music can help. How about the right smell? The Sonic Scent Diffuser relies on ultrasonic waves to freshen up a room quietly, releasing scent without the need for heat and candles, so there is no need to clean up the wax after. It uses inaudible high frequency waves to deliver a safe, cool mist. Just fill a bowl with water and add a few drops of your preferred fragrance. Its minimalist design in black fits into just about any urban environment. It can run at 10-minute intervals for 24 hours or for four continuous hours. Priced at USD64.95 (RM227).

With a minimalist cylindrical design, the HTC RE is specially made to fit comfortably and naturally in your palm.

You no longer need to worry about missing the moment any more as the HTC RE has a built-in grip sensor that instantly activates the camera when it detects movement. Shooting is also a snap as it has a large, tactile shutter button.

All that's needed is a single tap though shooting videos will require a longer press time. For those moments when you prefer to be right smack in the middle of the action instead of peeking out from behind the lens, you can take advantage of its high-resolution 16MP CMOS sensor, full HD (1080p) video recording capability alongside a 146-degree wide-angle lens. It also has simple slow-motion and time- lapse recording options.

Even better, the HTC RE camera is rated IPx7, which means you can use it up to one metre underwater for up to 30 minutes. Available later this year. Price has yet to be determined.
