Automate doggie cleanup with Auggiedog

A new gadget makes it easy for you to clean up after your beloved four-legged pet. Auggiedog picks up dog poop with just a click of a button without the need of plastic bags or without touching the waste. Since it has self-cleaning capabilities, it doesn’t leave a smell after either.

Since the FAA allowed gadget use during takeoff and landing, Wi-Fi on some airlines do not work below 10,000 feet. Those who are supplied by Gogo have antennas that are currently set up to send Wi-Fi to planes while in cruising altitude and not on the ground. The carriers include Air Canada, AirTran Airways, Alaska Airlines, American Airlines, Delta Air Lines, Frontier Airlines, United Airlines, US Airlines, and Virgin America.

Meanwhile, Allegiant and Southwest Airlines use Global Eagle Entertainment’s wireless internet system that works at all altitudes.

Secure luggage with nio Tag

Be prepared for all the traveling you’ll be doing this holiday season with the nio Tag. The Bluetooth-powered security tag helps you track your bags or even mobile devices. If you’re separated from the bag outside of the specified security zone, an alarm will ring. The nio Tag’s battery juice lasts for three to four months on a single charge and uses microUSB for charging.
