Scalewatcher is the original electronic conditioner launched over 18 years ago and remains the highest quality and most effective product of its type on the market.
Whilst we are flattered by the number of copies that have appeared on the market, when comparing other products it is worth considering the following points.
The internet is abuzz with articles and blog posts about the more than 20,000 cutting-edge products released at this year's Consumer Electronic Show (CES).
The event is a strong indicator of future technology trends set to dominate the consumer electronics market in the coming year, and all eyes were fir
mly fixed on where the future of the industry might be headed.
Highlights of this year's event included a strong line-up of tablet computers, touch-screen laptops, 3D technology and a wave of e-readers.
"The 2010 CES featured a record number of new exhibit areas on the show floor highlighting cutting-edge technology trends that will redefine our industry," said Karen Chupka, senior vice president, events and conferences, CEA.
This year's CES product releases highlighted many trends that will dominate the technology market in the future, one of which is the need to be constantly connected to the internet and social networks.
Products shown at this year's show - TVs, cars, e-readers, watches and even micro projectors - all demonstrated that future generations will live without needing to unplug from the web. Consumers will soon expect their devices to provide them with constant access to the net.
Other highlights included a large range of products running Google's Android operating system, HP's "Slate," Lenovo's IdeaPad U1 Hybrid laptop and celebrity appearances by Taylor Swift, Lady Gaga, Bette Midler and Drew Carey.
"The innovations unveiled this week at the 2010 International CES brought new optimism and opportunity to our industry and the global economy," said Gary Shapiro, president and CEO, CEA. "This show exceeded expectations with its innovation, optimism and excitement. What a great way to kick off the new decade."
Consumer electronics manufacturers are already preparing for the 2011 International CES that will be held in Las Vegas from January 6 to 9, 2011.
WASHINGTON (AFP) – A hot, gaseous and fast-spinning planet has been found orbiting a dying star on the edge of the Milky Way, in the first such discovery of a planet from outside our galaxy, scientists said Thursday.
Slightly larger than the size of Jupiter, the largest in our solar system, the newly discovered exoplanet is orbiting a star 2,000 light years from Earth that has found its way into the Milky Way.
The pair are believed to be part of the Helmi stream, a group of stars that remains after its mini-galaxy was devoured by the Milky Way some six to nine billion years ago, said the study in Science Express.
"This discovery is very exciting," said Rainer Klement of the Max Planck Institute for Astronomy.
"Because of the great distances involved, there are no confirmed detections of planets in other galaxies. But this cosmic merger has brought an extragalactic planet within our reach."
Astronomers were able to locate the planet, coined HIP 13044 b, by focusing on the "tiny telltale wobbles of the star caused by the gravitational tug of an orbiting companion," the study said.
They used a powerful telescope owned by the European Southern Laboratory at La Silla Observatory in Chile, located at an altitude of 2,400 meters (7,800 feet) some 600 kilometers (375 miles) north of the capital, Santiago.
The planet is quite close to the star it is orbiting, and survived a phase in which its host star went through a massive growth after it depleted its core hydrogen fuel supply, a phase known as the "red giant" stage of stellar evolution.
"This discovery is particularly intriguing when we consider the distant future of our own planetary system, as the Sun is also expected to become a red giant in about five billion years," said lead researcher Johny Setiawan of the Max Planck Institute for Astronomy.
The exoplanet is likely to be quite hot because it is orbiting so close to its star, completing each orbit in just over 16 days, and is probably near the end of its life, astronomers said.
The star may have already swallowed other planets in its orbit, making the star spin more quickly and meaning that time is running out for the surviving exoplanet.
Astronomers were mystified as to how the planet might have formed, since the star contained few elements heavier than hydrogen and helium and planets typically form out of a complex cloud of spinning space rubble.
"It is a puzzle for the widely accepted model of planet formation to explain how such a star, which contains hardly any heavy elements at all, could have formed a planet," said Setiawan.
"Planets around stars like this must probably form in a different way."
Qnective AG, Zurich is set to launch a practical solution called Qtalk secure, which will enable encrypted and therefore highly secure communication for telephone calls, chats, data transfers and SMS.
