Air France is to let passengers loose on their cellphones by turning on its in-flight mobile data and voice system.

What do you do when the power goes out and you’re stuck without a light to guide your urine safely into the lavatory?

Boomwave’s Earmungous iPod Cases Now Available for Nano

If I had a third-gen nano, this is what I would be dressing it in—face it, those ears are just perfect for getting those hard-to-reach boogers out of your nose. Made from silicon, it’s available in four colors: Dogstarr, aka Black, Spitzer, err, White, Bichpoo (is that missing a t?) also known as Pink and…

Green Holiday Project: Make a Computer Box Reindeer

If you get a new computer for Christmas, you’re probably SOL on timing, since it’ll be about time to pack up the holiday fa-la-la-la junk, but you could always make a computer box deer to shoot in your backyard, especially if you hate your computer company. The reindeer’s admittedly square, squat and deflicted, but you…

Video Unboxing and Walkthrough of the OLPC XO Laptop

This video’s painful to watch at moments, because this couple is about the most indecisive pair of people on earth, like when they epically struggle to name the laptop. But you do get to see everything you get in the XO’s box, like a letter from Nicholas Negroponte, presumably thanking you for your charity (to…

Windows Media Player 11 Is Useful: It Cuts WoW Load Times By Up to 50 Percent

Windows Media Player 11 discovers a purpose in life—how awesome is that? (Seriously, who actually uses it for anything?) Apparently, European forums started reporting last month that running WMP 11 in the background noticeably cuts World of Warcraft load times, especially in stickier areas, though American slackjaws have just recently caught on. Game|Life confirms WoW…

Wii Nunchcuk-Controlled Robot Is Low on Looks, High on Function

The project is still in its pre-beautification phase, with wires and stuff exposed and everywhere, but Frank’s Wii nunchuck-controlled robot looks pretty promising. What’s neat is that his input system uses the accelerometer, instead of just the joystick and the pair of buttons, so he can move the robot around with wrist turns and flicks.…

Rumor Smashed: Mario Galaxy For the DS is a Hoax

We hate to burst your bubble but Joystiq has provided some convincing evidence that the recent video showing a DS version of Mario Galaxy was a fake —albeit a very good one.

Cablet Carpet Helps You Hide the Evidence of Your Geekyness

I’m not all about typing on the floor like the dude pictured here, but I do have quite a few cords criss-crossing the rooms of my home. For the most part, these cords are hidden in a very half-assed manner behind couches and under rugs —resulting in a geeky ghetto look that is as dangerous…

Sony Year-End Report Card: B+

Although Sony makes everything from music players to phones to robots to computers to movies, the biggest news of 2007 was made in its gaming and TV lines. Sure, we liked Sony Ericsson W- and K-series’ flashy designs and were proud that Vaio PCs joined the increasingly crowded CableCARD home-theater PC market, but nothing topped…

Question of the Day: What Phone Do You Use?

Our data gathering series started off yesterday by determining that our Mac and PC audience are just about equal, with the leftover 20% being users of both formats and a scant 5% being Linux fans.
