5 high-tech gadgets to upgrade your next cookout

From a next-level cooler to an essential Bluetooth speaker, these devices will up the ante on any outdoor gathering.

People have been throwing outdoor celebrations for hundreds of years without technology—all you need is some fire, some friends, and some good food. But you can up the ante on your next party with some high-tech gadgets that will take your food, drinks, entertainment, and bug prevention (yes, bug prevention) to the next level.

Maybe you’re thinking, “Are you crazy? Summer’s over.” But the weather is finally cooling down to a manageable 80 degrees on the East Coast, and in my opinion, there’s no better time to have a picnic, outdoor cookout, or tailgating party. Sure, Fourth of July BBQs are fun, but I prefer to savor the last days of summer and celebrate the first weeks of fall outside with these conversation starters.

Coolest Cooler
You may remember this behemoth from its record-breaking Kickstarter campaign, which raised more than $13 million back in 2014. Now you can actually get your hands on this thing, and it’s as cool—pun intended—as it looked in its promo videos. The cooler comes with a built-in ice-crushing blender, two a Bluetooth speakers, LED lighting, a divider that can be used as a cutting board, a bottle opener and corkscrew, a knife, four plates, and a USB charging port for keeping your phone battery afloat. This cooler has everything you could possibly need to jumpstart your party, and trust me, people will flock to you (OK, to the cooler, not you) to check it out up close.

GE GAS18PSJSS Top Freezer Refrigerator with Autofill Pitcher review:

GE GAS18PSJSS Top Freezer Refrigerator with Autofill Pitcher review: Get automatic water pitcher fill-ups from this top-freezer fridge The Good The Autofill Pitcher is a unique feature that works well and seems practical for daily use -- a rarity with top freezers. Despite the plain-looking design, the fridge feels sturdy and well-constructed. The Bad Storage space is cramped to begin with, let alone with the Autofill Pitcher taking up space on the top shelf. Cooling performance was also pretty unexceptional. The Bottom Line The Autofill Pitcher is a borderline ingenious fridge feature, but the GAS18PSJSS isn't well-rounded enough to be a top pick. for price and more click here

Your next iPhone might be able to protect itself from thieves

Your next iPhone might be able to protect itself from thieves Apple is considering ways to empower the iPhone with active protections after being stolen, according to a new patent application. What if your iPhone could help actively protect itself, even after it's been stolen? That potential idea was considered in a new patent application Apple filed Thursday with the US Patent & Trademark Office. According to the application, which AppleInsider wrote about, a future iPhone may -- when triggered by the right circumstances -- start documenting an alleged thief's fingerprints through the Touch ID home button, picture and videos from the cameras and even voice from the microphone. Such capabilities, while perhaps legally questionable, could go much further than Apple's current lock screen and Find My iPhone app. An Apple representative didn't respond to a request for comment.

Intel Compute Stick review

Intel Compute Stick review ntel's Compute Stick, an entire PC crammed into an HDMI stick that fits in the palm of your hand, is nothing short of a landmark in computing.

Just don't get any crazy ideas about gaming on it — or, indeed, doing any intensive amount of multitasking — and the Compute Stick isn't half bad. I tested out the $150 Windows 8.1 version with a 1.3GHz Intel Atom quad-core processor, 2GB of RAM and 32GB of internal storage. There's a microSD card slot on one side for additional storage expansion, and a full-sized USB 2.0 port and Micro USB port on the other for power. The Ubuntu 14.04 LTS OS model is physically identical — a black stick w...
