A Year of Tortured Patience: Holding Out for the Second-Gen iPhone

When the first iPhone was announced, I thought it looked cool. Very cool. But I just couldn't bring myself to plunk down a whopping $600 on a phone that lacked some pretty important features: video recording, picture-messaging, tons of storage, and, most importantly, a 3G connection that would make the awesome mobile Safari browser worthwhile.

Now some quick-witted photogs snagged a snapshot of a machine running what they said was a build of Vista SP1 at the Windows Hardware Engineering Conference (WinHEC) in LA last week. More »

Shoe Flash Drive Looks Strangely Familiar

1gbusbtrainingshoeflash.jpgThis is a pretty average flash drive that comes in a not-so-average package. This toe of this athletic shoe pops off to reveal the USB connector capable of storing up to 1GB of your favorite sports (or anything else) related goods. No, your eyes aren't deceiving you. That appears to be the oh-so-familiar Nike swoosh plastered on the side of this non-Nike peripheral. I can imagine the lawyers' ears perking up as I type this. More »

Just like cellphone waiting areas, this 50-car-length lane, dubbed Dingell Lane, will accommodate cars waiting to pick up arriving passengers. Park here first, wait for the dude a call, then drive to the terminal. It saves you gas and it lessens traffic for everyone else. More »
