Secure Your Door With BioAXXIS BD1- XL Fingerprint Deadbolt

BioAXXIS BD1- XL Fingerprint Deadbolt, which is a combination key/fingerprint reader door lock allows you to store up to 30 different fingerprints, and has a class 3 deadbolt. This lock is great for most homes and businesses.

If required, you can plug up the key slot and make it only accessible with a fingerprint it recognizes and it does not attach to the outside of the door, it pokes through your door, and can handle down to -30F in the winter, and 150F in the winter. Maybe the only impractical thing is the fact that it operates on 4x AA batteries (if it consumes a lot of power).

Barnes & Noble Introduces Nook Color

Barnes & Noble introduce Android powered second-gen Nook. It has a 7-inch color LCD for displaying the content. Since Android is inside, it’s slightly more than an ebook reader and slightly less than a tablet. There are social networking apps like Facebook and Twitter, along with the ability to display videos as well as the standard ebook content.

The Nook Color has an array of apps including Pandora, games, access to Google and Wikipedia, a contact manager and more. There’s even a full-featured magazine reader that will probably be highly advertised. There’s no Android Marketplace.

As for the hardware, the Nook Color is void of any phyiscal buttons. Instead there’s a 1024×600 7-inch screen, laminated to reduce glare traditionally associated with LCDs. There’s a MicroSD card slot as well as WiFi. The entire thing weighs in at 15.6 oz with a thickness of .48-inches — that’s just 5.4 oz heavier and .12-inches thicker than the new Kindle.

The price is $249.99. That places it at half the price of the iPad, but over $100 more than the WiFi-only Kindle.
