Rolling Stone's 500 Greatest Albums Come Pre-Ripped For $9,000

If you're rich enough to have a dedicated media server from the likes of Crestron, Elan, Escient, Kaleidescape, ReQuest or Apple—a strange one to mix in, I thought—you can go off and buy Rolling Stone magazine's 500 Greatest Albums of All Time already ripped and encoded on a NAS RAID drive, for the low price of $9,000, thanks to a company called Terra-San. I can see several problems with this: More »

Creative Zen Stone Upgrades Flaunt Integrated Speaker

The popular cheap-as-chips Zen Stone/Zen Stone Plus are set for an upgrade this year. The V2.0 devices will have an integrated mono speaker—pretty exciting, eh? Check out the gallery for some shots of the new MP3 players.

Wooden Creative Zen Stone Captain Ødegård created this Creative Zen Stone out of pine, although he seems to have accidentally scaled up the dimensions to a huge 8.25" x 5.5" x 2". Check out a video of it in use after the jump.

USB Stone is 4GB of Rock Solid Storage

Michael Leung, some designer, made this USB "Mass Storage Stone," which holds 4GB of flash memory inside a rock. It started as a prototype in 2005, and it's "in development" now to become a real product. Whether that will actually happen is anyone's guess, but who wouldn't want to carry around storage that you can kill someone with? [Studio Leung via Swiss Miss via Geek Sugar] More »

By reflecting the pattern of light off a convex mirror, the clamshell form allows for precision adjustment of your rainbow, allowing it to stem from stinky shoes, a scary closet or your blessed hidden porn collection.

Creative Drops Zen Stone Plus, Doesn't Crush Foot

Weighing much less than a stone, the Zen Stone Plus updates the Zen Stone with twice as much storage (2GB vs. 1GB), a blue OLED screen (cheers at being able to see), more format compatibility, FM Tuner, and half an hour less battery life. More »

Quick-Read Creative Zen Stone Review and Gallery (Verdict: Worth At Least Half a Shuffle)

When the $39.99 Zen Stone was first unearthed, there was some discussion as to whether it was larger or smaller than a $79 iPod shuffle. As you'll be able to see in the gallery after the jump, it's noticeably larger than the shuffle, and that's without the $9.99 add-on clip. However, you should also be able to tell that it's a non-issue. The Zen Stone rests tiny and almost weightless in the palm of my hand, and I'm far from NBA material. Until the flash memory and processor are in the earbuds and you wear the whole thing like some freaky necklace, the size/weight concern is pretty much moot. More »

First Creative Zen Stone Video Review


Still curious about Creative's new Zen Stone player? The folks at GenerationMP3 put the tiny player behind the camera for a thorough unboxing/review. It looks a little chunky when they compare it to the nano (although its real competition is the shuffle, which it also beats in size). Still, $39 for a 1GB player ain't bad, although personally I refuse to buy an MP3 player without a screen. PS: You might wanna lower the volume and skip the piano soundtrack. More »

Creative Introduces Teeny Tiny Zen Stone

Over the weekend, we teased you with a rumor that had been floating around, that Creative would introduce a tiny, flash-based audio player for under $50. Well, it happened, and it's actually under $40. (I mean "under" in the TV-announcer sense of the word.) More »

Creative Zen iPod Shuffle Competitor Leaked: Zen Stone

No pictures yet, but EpiZENter claims to have some details on the upcoming Creative player being released in may. Supposedly, it's called the Zen Stone and have a very small form factor—think iPod Shuffle sized. It's going to come in five different colors, be priced at less than $50, and have a simple user interface. More »

Neko Stone Mouse: Flintstones Peripheral

Neko, a design studio out of Russia, created/dug up this stone mouse. MAKE believes the stone pieces were cut and then glued to a shell, which while probably the case, disappoints our fantasy of using the mouse while munching a pterodactyl wing. More »

Kirk's Kidney Stone

Come on, don't tell me you haven't been dreaming about it for years. A fresh, steaming kidney stone ripped right out of William Shatner's body? Heaven I say! And Ebay wants you to own it—if you have enough cash in your pocket, that is. While the Cap'n was on the set of Boston Legal he started to suffer from what he thought was chronic back pain. However, Shatner was relieved to find out it was just a kidney stone and feels that it will become the "ultimate piece of Star Trek memorabilia." All proceeds will go to charity, of course. More »
