RTX Cooling Glove Cools, in a Different Way

This is the RTX (Rapid Thermal Exchange) glove. It may look like a kinky fetish toy, but it is actually a pretty unique way to cool the body. It doesn’t necessarily cool the body like the way a good fan does, but rather it utilizes the key radiator zone (the hands) and draws out heat…

The Helio Ocean’s Hardware Design Secrets

Along with the external hardware you’ll see in the shots below, the Helio’s triple decker mechanism has a special triangle-shaped spring that operates both the keypad and QWERTY. So interesting that MIT’s Tech Review put the phone on its May/June cover, along with a well-written and romantic feature, Soul of a New Machine, penned by…

Rumor: Zune Flash and Zune 2.0 on June 1st, Zune Track Purchases over WiFi

These photos claim to show a first-gen Zune running a firmware 2.14 that can purchase and download tracks over Wi-Fi with Microsoft points. They come from the same friendly Zune source that sent us the first photos of Zune 2.0 that some readers thought were Photoshopped. I can’t tell if this is merely a first-gen…

R&B Singer Gets All Sexual, Booted By Verizon Wireless

This is the story of an R&B singer who performed some “simulated sex” on stage with some girl who, though admitted to the club, turned out to be under 18.

Project 2000 – Apple Computer (1988)

Rumor: Music Downloads Coming to Xbox 360, have Zune Connections

This is a completely unconfirmed rumor for now, but it seems like someone with ties to Microsoft claims the Xbox 360 will get a music store of its very own. The process will be similar to the subscription model the Zune has, which is $15 a month to have access to the entire library of…

iRiver Clix Docking, Speaker Cradle

Well, I’ll bite my tongue and stand corrected. I’ve been playing with the Clix for a couple weeks now and one of my main complaints is the lack of accessories, like this cradle, because of the Clix’s odd form factor. I guess I was wrong again, because here is an official cradle from the people…

Low End Theory: Talk is Cheap

By Brendan I. Koerner I can definitely see the wisdom in having excised negotiation from most of our daily commerce. Imagine if every time you had to buy a roll of toilet paper from CVS, the cashier tried to highball you: “That’ll be $3.99, sir…What? You don’t want to pay that much? Okay, gimme two…

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.

You control the proceedings with the four buttons on the right earpiece, and when you’re done,…
