Land Rover Defender 10 (£67,850) – This car may not look wonderful, however, it could take a punch, or well anything you want to throw at it really. The 4×4 monster has armour plating on all sides aswell as front and rear capable of withstanding 5.56 mm plus 7.62mm bullet rounds. Plus with bullet proof glass as standard you can be sure that you won’t be shot on the school run. If you’re concerned about the odd grenade or mine, fear not, the bottom of the car is grenade and anti personnel mine proof.

Tornado Night Vision Goggles Generation 2 + (£3,162.50) – Although they may be pricey for some goggles, you won’t be walking into lamp posts at night with these things on. These state of the art goggles come with one night vision tube and 2 eye pieces. Also, you can see those things that are further away in the dark by using one of the additional lens that can zoom in. All of this power can run on 2 AA batteries.

Taser C2 (£248) – This one is for non UK residents really as it is illegal in the UK, unless you’re a policeman. The Taser C2 is a non leathal stun gun that gives you time to escape by firing a C2 cartridge at the target which will zap them good. The powerful lithium battery that it comes with can manage up to 50 zaps, plus, the entire gadget can fit in your pocket.

Spy Camera Glasses (£89.99) – Some covert cameras are normal sun glasses, however, these come with a 1.3 mega pixel camera built in. The glasses have 1GB of memory, capable of storing 1000 secret snaps. That’s not all, the glasses also come with a remote control so you can take a photo without even holding the glasses, and also amazingly the glasses have built in earphones so you can listen to your favorite music while getting some secret snaps.

All these gadgets are must haves for any James Bond wannabes. The only drawback is driving around in the Land Rover won’t give you that James Bond feeling, even if you can’t be shot or blown up.

Plasma vs LCD HDTV Flat Screen TV

It can be difficult to find an HDTV flat screen TV that is within budget and gives value for the money. However, the search is worthwhile when you see your favorite movie with a clear picture and crisp, clean sound. So how do you go about finding an HDTV flat screen TV that is worth the money and will last well? It is true that there is no way to know definitively how long your flat screen TV will last or how valuable it will become. Nonetheless, it is possible to shop smart and make good buying decisions.

The first thing you need to know is that there is a difference between plasma TV sets and LCD  screens. Both are featured with HDTV flat screen TV technology and both are rather thin and flat, making them easy to place anywhere in your home, but they feature two different technologies. Your HDTV flat screen TV comes in two different types: plasma and LCD. There is no such thing as a plasma LCD TV.

Plasma televisions are only available in the widescreen 16:9 aspect ratio. This is the standard ratio for a HDTV flat screen TV. As a rule, plasma televisions are high definition ready. Most plasma flat screen televisions range in screen size from 42 inches to 63 inches, although both larger and smaller versions are available.

LCD televisions tend to be smaller, anywhere from 15 inches to 65 inches. The smaller LCD screens are often utilized as computer monitors. The LCD HDTV flat screen TV is actually lower in price than plasma when you’re dealing with the average size of display for the screen, but the larger LCD screens can be significantly more expensive.

There are some product differences between HDTV flat screen televisions that are plasma and LCD. Some of these differences include:

* LCD televisions have lower contrast levels than plasma televisions, meaning that they have a harder time reproducing dark colors and grays
* LCD televisions have slower response times, sometimes creating blurs during fast-paced action sequences in movies or in sports
* LCD televisions have a narrower viewing angle, but can be easier to view in well-lit rooms
* LCD televisions run cooler than plasma televisions
* Plasma televisions are of lower quality when paying lower prices

There are other differences between LCD and plasma HDTV flat screen TV sets. The easiest way to learn the major differences is to watch both types of television in a department or home electronics store. Sit in front of both televisions first, then change angles and view each television from the sides. This will help you to understand how each television works, and can help you decide which HDTV flat screen television best meets your needs.

Are you sick of the fuzzy and pixilated picture that your digital cable produces on your television? If so, then it might be time to take the plunge into the world of high definition T.V. High definition televisions are primarily designed to function with the signals which are high quality from the satellite signals as well as the input from cable that providers are utilizing so that it gives you you the clearest and most vibrant looking picture available. High definition television will leave you feeling like you’ve left your living room and are in reality at the actual game. Go to this link for more information:. You will not be sorry you did.
