eFax Still Offers Free Incoming Fax Numbers

Details
Category: Free Stuff on the Web
Written by Richard Lee
efax-logo.gifWith email and scanners, faxing, most assuredly, is a thing of the past, so why is eFax consistently on our list of top free internet services year after year?  The reason is that even though faxing is quickly becoming antiquated, it is still a sign of a "respectable company" to have a fax number on a card as an option, but it is not important to spend ANY money on a fax service.

Riya.com - Facial Recognition for Family Photos

Details
Category: Free Stuff on the Web
Written by Rich McComas

tn-riya-logo.gifOne of the darlings of the Demo conference this year was a small start-up company called Riya.com, named after the daughter of founder Munjal Shah. When I visited Munjal's personal website in early 2006, I found literally thousands of family photos. So, I would guess that Riya is his personal answer to organizing those photos, an answer to a problem every family photographer has.

TECH2 LAKE HOUSE

th-channel7-370.jpgUPDATE - The exterior of the Technology Lake House is complete and we are now working on interior finishing and electronics.  Last year, San Francisco's Channel 7 ABC News ran a special video report on the construction progress of the Technology Lake House, and we expect them back for a follow-up soon.  Click HERE for a DLINK Live Video Feed with pan and zoom features (userid=user, no password, daylight hours only). 

Ron Rosberg's current project home, the Technology Lake House, is currently under construction on the shores of Clearlake in Northern California.  Even though the house is a wireless demo house, we have installed more than seven miles of wires in the walls for dozens of flat panel TVs, speakers, control panels, and sophisticated lighting. So far, more than a dozen technology and fixture manufacturers have agreed to sponsor this project, which has been simmering in Ron's head since he attended the first CES show in New York in 1967.  The 7,500 square foot project (plus three existing rustic cabin guest houses) is being built on a five-acre Honeymoon Cove resort with 500 feet of beach directly across from Konocti Harbor Resort.  This summer retreat will host  technology gatherings annually, inviting Western states home builders, contractors, and technology consultants for a live open house showcasing the latest in home technologies.  There is room to park plenty of boats, so plan on coming up for some lake fun after the project is complete.  For more info, send email to ronald@usa.net, or call 707-995-2683.  To see the latest photos, visit Ron's Flickr gallery.

We are currently looking for products to evaluate in these areas:

  • Home automation: lighting, security, and entertainment
  • A/V technology for the 500 SF home theater media demo room

Hot News on Cool New Features: The ENTIRE front of the home is made of 21 sliding NanaWall glass panels that fold into the walls, opening the entire home up to the lake during demo days.
