So much for controlling computers with a mouse or touch screen! According to a new article released by TechNewsWorld, the latest method to control your computer is with your eyes. Tobeii Technology has recently unveiled their latest computer, a laptop controlled by movement of the user’s eyes.  By eyeing parts of the screen, the user is able to open and close windows, browse documents and photos, even zoom in and out. Simply looking at the screen will cause it to brighten from auto-dim energy saving mode. Reviews from consumers who have had the opportunity to test the technology are favorable.  The computer is in the prototype stage and is reported to be bulkier than the typical laptop.  However, Tobeii Technology has plans to partner with computer manufacturers to further develop the product into a design that makes it feasible for everyday use.  Maybe in the future they will add this technology to our TVs.  The possibilities are endless!

Owning a TV lift cabinet, either a custom-built one or a handcrafted model from ImportAdvantage, is a statement of fine taste, convenience and durability. With the touch of a button, a TV lift can quietly raise or lower your flat-screen TV in less than 40 seconds. But do you know how strong your TV lift is and what size TV it can hold? Whether you already own one or are considering purchasing a TV lift, read over this run-down of how far a TV lift mechanism can go.

Available in five different models, the ImportAdvantage Uplift series of TV lifts, can accommodate a wide range of TV weights and sizes, which means you can shop for the right one to fit your needs. Why spend more money for features you don’t need? All Uplift mechanisms feature a universal TV mounting bracket, so you’ll know that your TV will install easily without needing a bunch of additional, specialized equipment.

Constructed with a rack and pinion lift system, the same technology trains use to climb steep inclines while

The TV lift cabinet is now being regarded by many as an important development in home furnishing. As more homeowners are becoming design-savvy and want their homes to be the “best on the block,” many are turning to the value they find in TV lifts.

TV lift cabinets represent the growing trend in home technologies. As so many TV manufacturers are rushing to produce the sleekest, thinnest and smartest flat-screens in the world, the TV lift cabinet is becoming the number one choice for displaying the technological investments. Sure, you can impress your guests by turning on a 3D movie, but imagine their surprise when first your TV rises from nowhere with the touch of a button.

The real reason the TV lift cabinet is a true value for your home, however, is that we all look for things that can do more than one task at a time. And if you can save space in your home by having a cabinet that can hide away your TV, media players and yet display several of your keepsakes or books, you have a more

ImportAdvantage not only makes fine hardwood TV lift cabinets that arrive to your door ready for use, but we also make our handcrafted models easily customizable so they can perfectly match your home décor and media needs. We do this by offering a variety of adjustability options and cabinet door inserts.

While all of our TV lifts are sold with solid hardwood cabinet door fronts (except on our signature Remington or Soho Electric Fireplaces and TV lifts), we also include (on many models) an optional speaker cloth panel that can be used in place of the solid wood cabinet doors, allowing you the freedom to store your surround sound speakers inside our handcrafted TV lift cabinet.

Another key feature of the customizability of our TV lift cabinets is shelf adjustability. In TV lift models that have wood shelves, you can easily adjust the height of each shelf to what suits your needs. If you need space for tall books, you can space the shelves far apart; if you need them closer together to store

ImportAdvantage offers a wide variety of reliable and quiet TV lifts for practically any size flat-screen television. Unlike other models of TV lifts, the ImportAdvantage Uplift TV lift incorporates a heavy-duty rack and pinion system that will provide years of solid performance, and the prices of the Uplift TV lift mechanisms simply cannot be beat.

All Uplift TV lifts come with a standard Universal TV bracket, making mounting your TV on the TV lift easy and quick. Each Uplift TV lift mechanism also comes with perfectly calibrated gears and slides, a 1-year in-home warranty, a built-in wire management chain, a radio frequency remote control, numerous safety features and is ultra-silent when in operation.

Knowing which TV lift to match with your TV is easy. The Uplift is available in the following models: Uplift 3250, Uplift 3500, Uplift 3700 and the Uplift 3875. For smaller flat-screen TVs, the Uplift 3250 offers a travel distance of 28” (fully up in only 30 seconds) and will hold a TV

Our pop-up TV cabinets can create that “WOW” effect in any room, and their performance is unmatched by any other vendor.

Our TV lifts are incredibly reliable, easy to use and quiet, and designers are always looking for the best furnishings for their clients, especially since they are putting their names on the work they do for their clients.

Designers also look for a solid warranty for every product they suggest, just in case the improbable does happen. And with ImportAdvantage, every product we sell comes standard with a free 1 Year In-Home Warranty, with an option to upgrade to a 5-Year Total Care Warranty, which covers against damages like liquid marks or stains, burns and

In today’s economy, everyone is looking to protect what they already own, and a TV, DVD player, stereo system and gaming console are investments that are 1) expensive and 2) need to be protected from damage. Thankfully, keeping them tucked away and yet always accessible in a TV lift cabinet is the wisest one-stop solution.

Instead of keeping your TV resting on a low coffee table or behind breakable glass doors, a pop-up TV cabinet quietly lowers it into a hand-crafted and solid hardwood cabinet. The TV is secured to the TV lift mechanism, so there are no fears of accidental tipping.

And when you store your media players in a traditional entertainment center in plain sight, which is where they would normally need to be in order for your remote control to work properly, they are at risk for dust damage and small fingers inserting objects for which they are not meant. These expensive media players are also susceptible to spilled drinks. However, in a TV lift cabinet these media players are

If you are a follower of the philosophy of Feng Shui, which says that everything in your home, or office or personal living space has either a positive or negative impact, you may be pleased to learn how a TV lift cabinet will give your home a more positive feel.

So where does your TV fit into the practice of Feng Shui? Although the TV itself can be a quality source of educational information or a way to watch action-packed dramas, a TV that can be quietly stored out of sight in a pop-up TV lift cabinet can certainly improve the positive impact of Feng Shui in your home.

Some firm believers of Feng Shui suggest that no one ever place a TV in their bedroom, but what if that TV is tucked neatly into a foot of the bed TV lift cabinet? Most Feng Shui experts agree that putting a TV in a closed cabinet before falling asleep will minimize the negative impact of a TV in the bedroom.

Feng Shui also suggests that no one watch TV while eating dinner. While this seems like sound advice, it’s possible
