(Asked by Nadia from Los Angeles, California)
Before I answer your question, I have a question for you; what’s the weather like in the City of Angels?
Because right now, as I type this from my home in the UK, its bloody freezing and if it’s warmer where you are, then I think I may have to answer your question in person!
Just kidding.
On to your question, does it matter if the watch isn’t ‘Dick Tracy’ branded? Because if that’s what you’re after, then I’m sorry to say that, to the best of my knowledge at least, a ‘Dick Tracy’ branded two-way radio wristwatch doesn’t exist. If/when they make another DT movie (the last time they did, I was a little boy and I had the promotional T-shirt, so we must be due for one), then it seems likely that they will make one.
However, if you just want a two-way radio in the form of a wristwatch, then actually, you’re in luck. Two-way radio watches, like those used by Dick Tracy, do indeed exist and are available for purchase as I type this. They don’t appear to have gotten big as a consumer item (which is somewhat odd, when you think about it), but you never know, you could start a trend.
Wow. I’ve actually finished early this time out, I’ve still got a fair old bit of space to use up. What I’ll do, then, is list a few of the available products for you.
First, there’s the XACT X2X Wristlinx, which boasts 22 available channels and a 1.5-mile range, then there’s the AGPtek Multi-channels wrist-operated walkie talkie which, clumsy name aside, offers 5 hours of talk time and full headset/headphone compatibility (though quite how attaching headphones to your wrist would work is anyone’s guess), although it only has 12 hours of time display before the batteries conk out of you (and, somewhat disappointingly, it has no back-up power source), this isn’t really a bad bit of kit. After those two, there are a bunch of variations on a theme, most of which can be ordered via Amazon, they are usually priced between $45 and $95, but you can probably find a bargain if you look around a bit.
So, as I shuffle off to bed in time for my long winter’s nap, I hope I’ve helped answer your question, Nadia. Enjoy the weather while you can, you’ll miss it when it’s gone!

So, what is the best PC for you to buy? Firstly, you may find a salesman will lead you to the most expensive
PC model available. This may not be the best PC for you, despite the assurances of the price tag. Different PC’s have different amounts of memory, processing power and specifications.
A Gaming PC will have a large memory and processing power, it will likely also have a powerful graphics card. This is due to the stress of running PC games, but why pay for what you don’t need? As the old aphorism goes.
A Desktop PC may be exactly what you are looking for if you need something to function as your home computer, the Desktop PC will not be great at storing lots of data, however. If you are travelling and need a portable computer, neither of these are the best PC to buy.

The Samsung 22 inch Smart Television that gives lots and requires little
HBO isn’t Television, seemingly, which implies that Television isn’t HBO by description. However that slogan works or does not work (and we could perhaps go a number of rounds over that one), the one thing that Television absolutely is (at the least nowadays) is SMART.
The standard tv, seemingly offended at being derided as an ‘idiot box’ for so long, has eventually unequivocal to ‘wise up’. In brief, a smart TV can now perform many of the same tasks as a computer or tablet, which is excellent when you have friends over and wish to watch ‘The Best of Failblog’ on Youtube.
In addition to housing any variety of downloadable apps that contain fully interactive editions of Netflix, FB and numerous, many others, the smart TV also permits the viewer to surf the net, just like they might on an iPad.
Get this, Samsung’s new 22 inch Smart Television will even astutely learn what you like to watch and suggest related programmes, it will then automatically search on live broadcasts and make a choice of recommendations for you. I swear I am not making this up. I mean, I always thought Television could do more to pull its weight, but a TV that takes the effort from channel surfing!? I in no way guessed I’d see the day.
The Samsung 22 inch smart TV can be really the only smart TV with the full catch-up service, a service which includes BBC iPlayer, ITV player, Demand 5 and 4OD, meaning you’ll never miss out on your favorite events yet again (unless you, like me, frequently forget to stream them and iPlayer deletes them…The TV may be smarter now, but I’m still just as dim, sadly).
You can too wirelessly link connecting your smart phone and tablet PC, enabling you to view whatever’s in your little screen, by transferring it to your big screen. I could go on all day about the sheer quantity of awesome things this TV does, but it seems odd to write about a cool product if i could, in fact, be actively using it.
Hooking an Xbox or PS3 up to the screen is pure delight, however the fun does not end here; the Samsung 22-Inch LED Television also features a crystal clear, full High definition 1080p widescreen, which will create a tremendous cinematic experience when connected to the Bluray player and a 5.1 Dolby Surround Sound system. You will be the envy of the neighbourhood. Unless they own a racing car, that is.
Oh yeah, it has built-in games. Did I talk about that?

Jay & Silent Bob Return to the UK
Filmmaker, writer and occasional actor Kevin Smith, together with his comedy partner Jason Mewes, will be making their long-awaited return to the UK, in order to promote their new animated film, with a series of live shows in June and July.
The shows will begin with a screening of the new feature ‘Jay & Silent Bob’s Super Groovy Cartoon Movie’, followed by an informal Q&A session and then a live recording of the pair’s regular podcast ‘Hollywood Babble-On’, where they will be joined by ‘Family Guy’ voice actor Ralph Garman.
Smith and Mewes have visited the UK on a number of occasions, perhaps the most memorable being their first series of live shows in London, Manchester and Edinburgh, which was captured on film for the popular ‘Teabagging in the UK’ tour DVD.
Jay & Silent Bob, the crude and colourful alter egos of Smith and Mewes, first appeared in Smith’s 1994 debut film ‘Clerks’. The duo played a pair of drug dealers who spent every day outside the Quick Stop (the store in which the story takes place) peddling their wares.
Since then, Jay & Silent Bob have appeared in almost all of Smith’s movies, albeit to varying degrees. In 1997’s ‘Chasing Amy’, they only appeared in one scene (although Silent Bob actually had an extended monologue). However, in 2001’s ‘Jay & Silent Bob Strike Back’, they were the central protagonists, whilst main characters from Smith’s previous movies were shifted to occupy background roles, effectively reversing the formula.
The characters have also appeared in comic books, an animated series, music videos and even made a baffling cameo in the movie ‘Scream 3’.
‘Jay & Silent Bob’s Super Groovy Cartoon Movie’ was written by Smith and produced by Mewes. It features appearances by Smith regulars Walt Flanagan, Scott Mosier and Bryan Johnson, as well as Smith’s wife, actress Jennifer Schwalbach and comic book icon Stan Lee.
Ralph Garman, ‘Batman: The Animated Series’ voice artist Kevin Conroy and English novelist Neil Gaiman will also appear in the film.
The tour dates announced so far are:
June 29 – Birmingham O2 Academy
July 1 – London Eventim Apollo
July 2 – Bristol Colston Hall
July 3 – Manchester O2 Apollo
Tickets went on sale on Friday14th March at 9AM.

JW Marriott San Antonio Hill Country Resort and Spa Saves Over $100K in Annual Cost and Increases Staff Efficiency
With its newest resort opening its doors in early 2010, the JW Marriott San Antonio Hill Country Resort and Spa wanted to ensure that its new flagship property maintained and even exceeded its already high standards for guest satisfaction. Choosing MOTOTRBO over cellular push-to-talk technology, the hotel saved $14,000 per month in service fees, significantly improved response time to guest requests, and expects to achieve full return on investment within
Situation: New flagship hotel property wanted to raise the bar in guest service
Located in the beautiful rolling countryside of Cibolo Canyons in south Texas, the JW Marriott San Antonio
Hill Country Resort and Spa is one of Marriott International’s newest properties. Celebrating its grand opening in March 2010, the resort offers over 1,000 rooms, a conference center with 140,000 square feet of meeting space, a six-acre water park, 700-acre preserve, and a 36-hole TPC golf course.
Maintaining the Marriott’s legendary high standards for guest satisfaction requires tools that increase efficiency and enable the resort’s service employees to respond quickly to guest requests. So when Brian Sherman, vice president of S&P Communications, a local Motorola channel partner, called on the resort to learn of their communications needs, Steve McGuire, director of engineering for the resort, was ready to listen.
“We were looking for new technology that would increase the efficiency of the hotel’s staff,” says McGuire. “We wanted the ability to call all employees with the push of a button, as well as the security of having our own system without having to rely on cell phones or paying monthly service fees. And we wanted radios that would integrate with the software and technology we are using.”
Improving the productivity benefits of CRM
The resort uses Guestware®, a Customer
Relationship Management (CRM) software solution designed specifically for the hospitality industry. But while the software improved the productivity of its maintenance and housekeeping staff, it was still dependent on manual data input via a computer.
For example, whenever a guest called with a request, the Front Desk logged into the application, opened a work ticket, then picked up the radio or telephone and called Housekeeping, Engineering or Maintenance. Upon reaching the right person they would assign the job, open the application and update the record. Once the job was complete the Front Desk then had to rely upon the individual to call back and report (which didn’t always happen) in order for the ticket to be closed out. McGuire wanted a two-way radio that would allow them not only to continue using Guestware, but to make that software even more efficient.
Solution: MOTOTRBO digital radio system with Capacity Plus
Sherman recommended MOTOTRBO digital portable radios with a six-channel Capacity Plus system.
The MOTOTRBO radios offer enhanced features, increased capacity, integrated data applications, exceptional voice quality and extended battery performance. With the addition of Capacity Plus, a scalable, single-site digital trunking solution, MOTOTRBO capacity would be expanded even further, enabling over a thousand radio users to share voice and data communication quickly and
efficiently on the same system without adding new frequencies.
Four voice repeaters and two data repeaters dedicated to the Guestware application were also installed, as well as the Teldio Radio Branch Exchange™ (RBX) application, a telephone-to-radio interface that would enable employees or guests
to use land-line telephones to connect directly with radio users. The system was deployed in stages beginning in November, 2009, with two digital
MOTOTRBO repeaters. Two more MOTOTRBO voice repeaters, two MOTOTRBO data revert repeaters and 10 application dependent control stations were installed in early January, 2010, utilizing CapacityPlus. The final implementation for Guestware and Teldio RBX radio-to-telephone interface was completed in April, 2010.
Results: The bottom line – flawless customer service
It takes more than good intentions to provide guests with the level of excellence expected from a high-end resort that has built its reputation on flawless customer service. The right processes must be in place to react quickly to guest requests and speed response to the issue. And the right tools must be available to allow employees to collaborate easily and get the job done unobtrusively and well.
Today all operations, including guest services, housekeeping, convention services, audio visual, food and beverage, recreation, engineering, and security communicate seamlessly via the MOTOTRBO
radio system. Nearly 100 percent of the hotel and grounds have full two-way radio coverage, including the convention center, which is located on a hillside where three of its floors are below ground level.
“With the old way, housekeeping would call the front desk, or the front desk would get a call from a guest. They would use a cell phone to call the right person and it might take ten minutes to reach them. With MOTOTRBO, the process is rolling within 30 seconds. A couple of minutes can make all the difference in the world to the guest waiting for someone to show up and fix the problem.”
– Steve McGuire, Director of Engineering, JW Marriott San Antonio Hill Country Resort and Spa
Integrated data capability can significantly increase staff efficiency and guest satisfaction
Integrated voice and data capability, as well as the operating software of the MOTOTRBO radios which enables easy integration of customized workforce applications, further increases staff productivity.
Emergency alarm and staff collaboration enhances guest safety and security
The radios are also equipped with an emergency button that sends an audible alarm to all security radios and activates the microphone to transmit ambient noise, conversation and activity at the scene to the security radios. In addition, the MOTOTRBO Capacity Plus software enables an emergency or broadcast channel which allows collaboration between the hotel staff and security. During opening week two guests suffered medical emergencies. Hotel personnel sent out an alert and within minutes, medical and security
staff were at the scene.
Dramatic cost savings and rapid return on investment
Currently the hotel chain uses push-to-talk cellular technology in their hotels around the world. Depending on the number of phones, service fees can reach thousands of dollars per month or more. Because the new resort has replaced their cell phones with MOTOTRBO, which is a private digital two-way radio system, they save $14,000 a month. Even when factoring in maintenance and other operational expenses, the hotel estimates that over a five-year period, they will net around $500K in savings when compared to cellular
and push-to-talk subscriber services. “We ran the numbers for them and calculated that they will achieve a complete return on investment within about 18 months,” says Sherman. Because of the dramatic cost savings and rapid ROI, the hotel chain is considering MOTOTRBO radios for their other properties.
With its new flagship property, the JW Marriott San Antonio Hill Country Resort and Spa is proving that the right technology can significantly increase efficiency, reduce cost and keep its guests satisfied and coming back. With uninterrupted coverage throughout the hotel and grounds, enhanced features, increased capacity, crystal clear audio, and integrated data applications, the MOTOTRBO digital two-way radios help hotel staff throughout the resort maintain the gold standard of flawless guest service.

MOTOTRBO’s data capability allows the engineering supervisor to use the Guestware application to open a ticket and assign it to a staff member who verifies receipt. The application directs the flow of activity by monitoring the open ticket, enabling the supervisor to ensure the job is finished within the required time.

Step and manage your favorite character with just you hands, when you purchase a kinect
Wondering where to Buy kinect? Look no further, squire. This website has everything you’re looking for and much, much more.
January – Its cold, dark and usually signals both the beginning and the end of your New Year’s resolutions. Reading the classics and working out tends to flow inexorably back to re-reading old comics and putting on weight. Then again, there’s also the added bonus of Christmas money.
No, I’m not talking about identity theft, I am in fact referring to the only other way to get large sums of money from people you don’t actually know; Christmas money, that wonderful goldmine of wonga that you’re supposed to spend selfishly and can totally justify completely wasting on video games, comic books and all those classic works of literature you plan to read. Auntie Gladys gave you £20, which was nice of her…Now if only you knew who she was. In addition, Uncle Joseph and Auntie Beryl have slid £50 in their card this year. Of course you swear blind that you’re going to say thank you, before eventually giving up when you realise that Auntie Gladys doesn’t have Facebook (and even if she did, you’re f*cked if you know what her last name actually is).
So, it’s January, where things are down in price and it’s a winter wonderland just waiting to be plundered by you and your newfound wealth. You’ve scraped twelve pints of snake-eye and half a döner kebab with extra chillies off the bathroom wall and you wrap up warm in your new coat (because Uncle Bertram is a practical man who felt he should buy you something useful, even if it is about 12 sizes too sodding small!) and head out to any one of the million computer entertainment megastores currently clogging the arteries of town centres like those huge toxic puke deposits that you get for smoking cigarettes (I know, I know, this is the year you’re gonna quit blah blah blah) You clean the house and head on out in your new coat. Upon arrival, you can’t help but feel vaguely cheated. Things aren’t as ‘sale-y’ as you’d like them to be. In fact, the game you want has sold out.
So you come home, muttering under your breath and wondering where the best place is to Buy kinect, you put those exact terms into Google and now here we are having a nice chat, like old friends. Once again, let me assure you that this site is awesome. So get ordering and put your feet up.
Oh, ew. There’s still spew on your wall

BREAKING NEWS: “Time Travel is Possible, Says Noted Physicist”
Physics Professor Brian Cox has determined that time travel is theoretically possible and that time machines could one day be a reality.
The British professor, who is also a TV Presenter and pop musician (having some success with the Northern Irish band D:Ream in the 1990’s), used Dr. Who’s famous TARDIS as a broad example of the type of time machine that he believes to be theoretically possible as well as scientifically sound.
“Can you build a time machine?” asked Cox during his speech at the British science festival, before answering his own question with a resounding “yes”.
However, according to Cox’s research, whilst time travel to the future is theoretically possible, time travel to the past is completely impossible. In addition, the trip would only be one way; there would be no going home.
Cox isn’t the first person to make this announcement; in fact, he’s borrowing directly from Einstein’s theory of special relativity when he states that movement at speeds close to the speed of light would theoretically cause time to slow down, but only for the individual travelling at such speeds.
Says Cox, “If you go fast, your clock runs slow relative to people who are still. As you approach the speed of light, your clock runs so slow you could come back 10,000 years in the future,”
Some scientists have suggested that the use of ‘wormholes’ would be a theoretically acceptable form of time travel. In fact, wormholes are a staple of science fiction stories. A wormhole (perhaps better referred to as an Einstein-Rosen Bridge) is, effectively, a passageway, or ‘shortcut’, through spacetime. The effect of a wormhole would be the spacial equivalent of writing ‘A’ on the far end of a piece of paper and ‘B’ on the other side, then putting the two letters together and punching a hole through the paper with a pencil.
However, in his speech, professor Cox refuted the idea that such a ‘bridge’ could ever be truly stable, saying,
“In General Relativity, you can do it in principle. It’s to do with building these things called wormholes; shortcuts through space and time. But most physicists doubt it. Hawking came up with the ‘chronology protection conjecture’ – physics we don’t yet understand that means wormholes are not stable.”
On the heels of this announcement, Professor Cox, an ardent fan of Dr. Who, will be delivering a 60-minute speech about the popular TV show, which will be screened by the BBC on November 23rd. In the speech, the professor will share his thoughts on the possibility of extraterrestrial life, the potential discovery of new dimensions and, of course, time travel.
