Yes, whether you’re a cute young thing or her less cute mom, if you’re into Wi-Fi, you’re going to love the Wi-Fire. I know I do. It’s about a billion times better than a Pringles can and coat hanger for extending your Wi-Fi “borrowing” range. You may remember we reviewed the first generation of Wi-Fire a year or two back, and were pretty much blown away by its performance. The only thing that wasn’t incredibly awesome about it was the somewhat flaky software, which apparently has been rewritten from the ground up. (In fact, if you win, you should download the even newer software from the website, just skip the disc).

The Wi-Fire is a compact, range-extending USB device that enables you to access a wireless Internet connection from up to 1,000 feet away–three times the range of your internal wireless adapter.

The Wi-Fire uses a powerful directional antenna, highly sensitive receiver and proprietary software to find and enhance normal WiFi signals. With it, you can connect wirelessly to the Internet–even at low signal strengths–faster, more reliably and with a more consistently strong connection–than you are able to with an internal wireless adapter.

The Wi-Fire draws very little power from your laptop battery. It comes complete with everything you need to connect wirelessly to the Internet. Just install the Wi-Fire Connection Manager, plug the Wi-Fire into an available USB port and you’re ready to start. It can rest on any flat surface, laptop display or flat screen monitor.

“The 12 Days AFTER Christmas” Giveaway: Day 37 - A Finis SwiMP3

This contest is closed. Congrats to faithful Macenstein reader Dave.

On the Thirty-Seventh Day After Christmas, Macenstein gave to you (or, more accurately, gave you a chance to win…) A Finis SwiMP3!

AAARRRGGGHH!! If it be treasure you be seekin’, look no further than the $150 Finis SwiMP3, a fine beauty of a water proof MP3 player. The SwiMP3’s hand-free design is perfect for SCUBA-diving treasure hunters who need to keep both hands free to fight both sharks AND octopuses.

The SwiMP3.1G is a waterproof mp3 player created with a unique innovative sound transfer technology that offers exceptional underwater sound clarity. The completely redesigned waterproof MP3 player utilizes bone-conduction technology to transmit high-fidelity sound underneath the water.

Standard players rely on the transmission of sound through air or water which causes the swimmer to perceive only muffled noise. Because the SwiMP3 uses bone conduction, the sound vibrations are able to be directly transferred from the cheek bone to the inner ear, giving the swimmer the ultimate sensory experience.

Yes, with the SwiMP3 you’ll be a veritable Aqua-Man, although hopefully you’ll choose a better costume.

To enter: Speaking of Aqua-Man, we all know if they ever make an Aqua-Man movie, it will be the greatest movie of all time and out-gross Avatar. But until then, we want to know, What’s your favorite movie of all time? Winners will be picked randomly 7 days later and notified (kind of like in The Ring, only with less killing… we hope). Open to ALL READERS WORLD-WIDE. Good luck, and thanks for reading Macenstein! (Oh, and be sure to enter ALL our “12 Days AFTER Christmas” Giveaways!)

“The 12 Days AFTER Christmas” Giveaway: Day 36 - A Finis XtreaMP3

This contest is closed. Congrats to faithful Macenstein reader Steve.

On the Thirty-Sixth Day After Christmas, Macenstein gave to you (or, more accurately, gave you a chance to win…) A Finis XtreaMP3!

Whether you’re a surfer, swimmer, or just suffer from Hyperhidrosis, you’re going to love the Finis XtreaMP3. I don’t know about you, but I need my music with me constantly to give me that extra little non-illegal energy boost when doing anything even remotely physical, and something like this would really come in handy for those times I just feel like quitting half-way through a shower. and who knows? With the XtreaMP3, I might even be able to lather, rinse AND repeat!

XtreaMP3 - The Ultimate Sensory Experience

Take your music anywhere with the durable and completely submergible XtreaMP3 player. The shockresistant and skip-free MP3 player plays up to 240 songs (1GB memory) in high-quality surround sound. The small XtreaMP3 player attaches to a comfortable neoprene arm strap, allowing you to enjoy your favorite music hands free. Specialized waterproof earbuds secure tightly, making for clear listening in any extreme environment. The player is USB compatible and completely waterproof up to depths of 15 feet (4.5m).

The iPod isn’t the only MP3 player in the sea, and in fact, it fears the sea, and water in general. (Finis, feel free to use that awesome line in your marketing materials if you’d like). And just because this bad boy isn’t made by Apple, don’t go thinking it’s a POS. This thing costs about $150, and apparently kicks ass. Finally you can paddle your surfboard without fear of dropping your music!

To enter: Speaking of fears, we’d like to know, what is your greatest fear? Winners will be picked randomly 7 days later and notified (kind of like in The Ring, only with less killing… we hope). Open to ALL READERS WORLD-WIDE. Good luck, and thanks for reading Macenstein! (Oh, and be sure to enter ALL our “12 Days AFTER Christmas” Giveaways!)
