Gadget of the week
Attention couch potatoes! The Harmony Hub will negate the need for you to move for pretty much anything other than eating or peeing. It will combine all of your remote controls for various devices and can also control the lighting in the room. And it’s pretty slick looking.
Turbo battery of the week
