10 of the World’s Smallest Gadgets

The diminishing size of gadgetry is about as certain as Moore’s law, and is generally good for us. But for some, size is an obsession, and smaller is always better. This is what they’ve wrought: Smallest CRT TV Although smaller CRT screens can be had (such as those used in old camcorder viewfinders), they won’t…

HP’s MediaSmart Server LX195 Leaked, Is a More Compact Windows Home Server

HP’s apparently following up its OS X Time Machine compatible MediaSmart EX487 Windows Home Server with a smaller model, shipping with just 640GB of storage. https://gizmodo.com/hp-mediasmart-ex487-server-has-remote-mp3-streaming-ma-5119452 No other real details can be seen from this low-rez box shot, but it’s likely that this LX195 doesn’t have Mac support, so don’t hold out for that if…

Thecus N0204 miniNAS Makes the Unfortunate Claim of “World’s Smallest NAS”

I can’t think of another product category less served by the ol’ “world’s smallest” tag that gadget-makers continuously foam over than network storage drives. But, of course, here we have the “world’s smallest” NAS. The miniNAS, as you would expect, uses a pair of 2.5-inch laptop drives (up to 500GB each), which are wrong for…

First Look at the Spacecraft That Will Take Humans to Mars

Yesterday NASA gave the world a first look at the Orion, a space vessel that will take humans back to the Moon in 2020, and then onward to Mars in the 2030s. If this saucer shape looks familiar, that’s not because this vehicle is based on something hidden in Area 51. Orion is based on…

Happy 100th Birthday To The Toaster

The internet loves the toaster. Why? Because it makes toast…which reminds us of breakfast…which reminds us of bacon. So, it is only fitting that we wish it well on its 100th birthday. Indeed, 2009 represents 100 years since Frank Shailor and General Electric came up with the D12 in 1909. It may look like a…

What Happens When Security Cameras Get Involved With Matchmaking

What if Big Brother was hijacked by Big Cupid? DreamWorks’ new movie Good Looking shows a future dating service that uses surveillance camera footage to match lonely hearts without fail.
