Shownotes:
The Automatic Jar Opener from Black & Decker will open your jars with just a push of a button. I could see this being very useful for people with arthritis or any kind of disability.
I talked about the Sanyo PLC-WXU700, the first Wireless N equipped projector, on Brief 559. The price when it comes to the US will be $3000.
Pirates vs. Ninjas sounds like the only way to play a game of dodgeball, and it comes in the form of a Wii game.
The Pentax K-7 camera records in 720p with a 14.6 megapixel CMOS sensor built just for this camera. It’s lighter than any in its class and will sell for $1300.
The Kindle iPhone app got a facelift, with the ability to read in landscape mode, gesture control, and a Sepia option to read with less contrast than the harsh black and white of a screen.

The problem with Jar openers is they have too big a footprint in the kitchen.

I used to get your “briefs” via subscription on my TiVo; they quit showing up. Searched for your show and didn’t find it. Are you no longer publishing them that way?

I’m interested to know if you got a pogoplug and what you thought? If you can test it with mac and a PC it would be great!
I got one and I had to return it because I couldn’t post files from my Mac, iPhone, and PC. I did everything their support team said to do.

The jar opener does have a big footprint, but it works much better than any previous automatic opener and puts more leverage on the jartop than hand held models.

That’s a no-nonsense jar opening tool, there but my dancer’s hands can do most jar opening jobs (I don’t know why this is so, but indeed so they are.) and besides my kitchen is so small, I have to go outside just to change my mind. People wonder how I manage my eggplant parmesan in such a miniscule workspace. I’d be one to fancy and under the counter-top model for whem my hands are tired from kneading dough for my Italian breads.
