Sprint has come out with a cool new app called “Sprint Total Equipment Protection App“. We were lucky enough to be one of the first to check out the app and give our readers the scoop about the cool features.

This app works for Blackberry and Android phones as well as a few select phones and most of the features are pretty sweet.

With the “TEP” you’ll be able to:

1) Locate your phone from a computer via GPS

2) Sync contacts between devices – so you’ll never be without a number

3) Remote wipe phone – If your phone is stolen you can erase everything immediately

4) Lock phone – This renders your phone useless to whoever stole it

5) Sound alarm – Maybe if you can’t see it, you’ll hear it instead!

For a limited time if you are currently a Sprint TEP customer they can set this app for you in just a few minutes. Not too shabby!

One of the greatest features is the online navigation. It’s a piece of cake. You can literally track where your phone is by following it on your home computer. How’s that for awesome?

If you have ever lost your phone before, this Spring app is a no-brainer. It’s easy to track your phone, and with the added bonus of a protection plan, a small deductible can have it replaced.

With this app and service, the TEP app costs about $8 a month which is a pretty great deal for piece of mind. And if you are currently a Sprint customer you can simply add this feature to your existing phone with this limited time offer which expires Aug 30th. So get on it!

Cute Sparrow Keyring and Birdhouse keeps a look out for the bad guys

Singing Sparrow Key Ring Whistle

This cute little Sparrow Keyring comes right out of the pages of a Disney story. This little birdie goes everywhere your keys go and keeps an eye out for trouble too. Whenever you spot trouble just give this little birdie a whistle and he’ll be sure to grab the nearest hero to save the day.

Each Sparrow Keyring comes complete with it’s very own little birdhouse where he’ll rest at the end of the day and enjoy the view. Now you’ll always know where your keys are, and have a little friend to take with on your next adventure.

Sparrow KeyRing Holder One More Gadget

My little birds name is Chuckles. He likes to sit at the edge of my pocket and peak out while I work. And even though I whistle while i work, my co-workers don’t seem to mind. They don’t even seem to get tired of this:

Hmm I bet you’re wondering how I know his name is Chuckles?

Let’s just say…a little bird told me.

Apple ready and set to take over the HDTV world

Apple HDTV

Rumors have been flying around for some time that Apple will be entering the HDTV market early as March 2012. An even more detailed rumor is that they will be releasing three models of their new televisions, 40″, 46″ and 52″ televisions being the likely sizes.

But only time will tell if these rumors are in fact true or just rumors. The big winners will be Intel and Corning and will happily use Apple HDTV to escape the tech bubble that’s about to burst world-wide.

So what features would the Apple HDTV possibly have that would make anyone need it, like other apple products, and choose it over other cheaper and perfectly capable devices?

We can assume it will be much more than a television and more like a big computer. You can probably expect the Apple TV to have some of these cool features:

Built in TV Apps, with a new TV App Store and built in wi-fi network

A gaming engine. Now that they have your attention, it makes sense for a kinect or wii style device to connect to the Apple HDTV. If they are controlled by a camera in the front of this set, even better. But expect gaming to be a huge part of this, possibly with pretty sweet Apple HDTV controllers.

Built in Hard Drives and PVR’s for recording and sorting through your programs. We suspect they’ll have a fancy name for this, TV on Demand or APVR sounds lame, so iWatch, iView and iTV made the list as well.

Apple Trailers. New theatrical releases at your fingertips, from your couch, just like the original Apple TV.

iTunes sync which makes your Apple HDTV the control hub and epicenter for your entire homes entertainment and will manage the content on all your iPod’s and iPhone’s and iPad’s wirelessly.

Facetime. Just don’t get caught watching TV in your underwear.

TV to go. You’ll be able to watch whatever is stored on your TV through your iPhone or iPad on the road – while your TV happily rests in standby mode back at home.

Apple Phone Home. Yup, Apple HDTV will have a call centre, displaying on screen who’s calling and showing you a picture as well. It will also sort all your voice mail, visually and keep your address book too.

• Apple HDTV will not only be HD, but have 3D optical display at ridiculous resolution with built in upscaling as well as a new intel chip that produces a cool 900hz equivalent framerate or “motionflow” technology.

Thunderbolt ports will replace the majority of HDMI ports, however there will be HDMI ports available.

• And of course, maybe there will be something better than LEDs in the future, but at this point it makes sense to have microscopic LED’s backlighting this HDTV because everything Apple makes is just smaller than everyone elses.

So there you have it. It may seem all fine and dandy, but we’ll just have to wait and see. But don’t start waiting in line just yet.

What do you think about the new Apple HDTV? Post your comment below and share this post with your nerdy friends.

Some of my favorite things belong on a kitchen table. So what’s the best thing to go on a kitchen table? Condiments! Here’s a list of some of my favorite Salt & Pepper Shakers which will forever be known as ‘The Most Creative and Coolest Salt and Pepper Shakers Around’.

If you like stuff like this join us on facebook or follow us on twitter to find out what’s shaking and automatically enter to win awesome stuff.

1. Salty and Pepper

Knorr Salty and Pepper Shakers

This product all started with a really popular tv commercial featuring Salty, the unwanted salt shaker. Now everyone wants Salty and his bi-polar opposite friend grazing their kitchen tables. Yup, looks like he’s crying his salty tears all the way to the bank. And I don’t mean the food bank. Cha-ching!

Knorr Salt & Pepper Shakers

2. King & Queen Chess Mills

King & Queen Salt and Pepper Mills

We reviewed these awesome mills right here before and guys, I gotta say, they may be salty, but let me tell yah, these mills are saaawweeeeet. I love to grind.
Pepper.

It’s therapeutic.

3. Salt and Pepper ‘Bots

The Kitchen Table Tragedy

All your bouillabaiise are belong to us. These robots are awesome. Who wouldn’t want a robot shaker that winds up and walks across your table? It’s a rhetorical question.

The answer is obviously everyone.

4. Watering Can Shakers

Sarah's Garden Watering Can Salt and Pepper Shakers

These watering can salt and pepper shakers are genius. The whole idea of a watering can filled with salt and pepper instead of tasty hydrating water just boggles my mind. Something this cool will probably give me high blood pressure, simply due to it’s sheer awesomeness.

5. Shark Fins

We’ve reviewed these shark fin salt and pepper shakers before. But I plan on talking about these little guys until my jaws are sore. I’ve never heard so many two note theme songs being hummed when some one asks to ‘pass the salt’.

Fin

6. Batteries (Salt and Power)

Batteries have always gone hand and hand with salty tops, but it’s fortunate to know that licking these salty tops won’t result in severe pain followed by your tongue slowly melting away like licking real batteries. You might call it ‘A Salt and Battery’, but I like to call it the second best use of DD’s at the kitchen table.

7. Lego Blocks

Unique Lego Salt and Pepper Shakers

Ah yes, toys of my youth. I find it hard to resist not stacking these shakers – they look like they would fit. You see, all those years of playing with lego has paid off. My analytical abilities are astronomical.

8. Hugging Ghosts

I’m still trying to figure out if they are hugging or wrestling. But I’m 100% positive they are ghosts. OR ARE THEY? haha, just kidding. They are.

Or are they?

9. Hugging Dolphins, why not?

Hugging Dolphins Salt and Pepper Shakers

Even though it looks like they are doing the Riverdance, I can assure you when they are put together they appear to be hugging. And even though I’ve never seen dolphins hug,  I’ve never seen a million dollars either.

And just between you and me, dolphins – they got a lot to hug about.

Flipping out right now! Get your Hugging Dolphins here
