Booster Blades: They Work!

After having some fun at the Booster Blades’ expense a few weeks back, the inventors daughter, Candice Rawlings, wrote us an email. She called out our photo for being out of date, but graciously offered to send us new media of the skates in use (under operation without the rider dying). Verdict: the Booster Blades…

Guitar Hero 2 Xbox 360 X-Plorer Mod

Hundreds of thousands of you are breakin’ out the Guitar Hero on your Xbox 360 now (we know, because the guitars are hard as hell to find), so we thought this mod could be of some use. We don’t personally find the fret buttons to be too loose, but if you do, this is how…

iTunes Single on Billboard Top 10

For the first time, an iTunes single has broken the Billboard top 10 list. From the American Idol Gives Back charity show, the Pretender’s cover I’ll Stand by You (as performed by Carrie Underwood) was downloaded 124,496 times as of this weekend.

Microsoft Reclusa Gaming Keyboard Reviewed (Verdict: Great For the Average Gamer)

Microsoft makes fantastic keyboards, but when it comes to gaming peripherals, Razer’s no slouch either. That’s why this Reclusa, which is a combination of Microsoft and Razer, looks like what you would get if Microsoft were directing a movie, got fired halfway through, and Razer came in and finished it up. It definitely looks and…

Metrokane Vacuum Decanter

Decanting a bottle of wine is a commitment: you will drink the bottle alone in one sitting and wake up without your pants in an alley. And your teeth/lips will be purple. The Metrokane Vacuum Decanter is a smart solution. Constructed from hand-blown crystal, the decanter works normally to aerate your wine/make you look suave.…

Apple iBook’s Fatal Flaws Uncovered

After receiving ten complaints (a lot for Denmark), The Danish Consumer Complaints Board commissioned a study (on the microscopic scale) of the Apple iBook G4. Evidently there was merit to the complaints, since the study did find a problem… Researchers found that the solder joints around a voltage regulator were designed/constructed in such a way…

YouTube Pay for Play Could Trigger a Revolution

YouTube will start paying some “select” uploaders, doling out wads of hard cash to video makers with ongoing series that have proven to be popular with viewers. YouTube’s mentioned this idea before, and is still not saying when the largess of its parent company Google will start billowing out, but it’s now asking for all…

Nothing is On Sale for $6.28

It had to happen. Someone is now selling Nothing, and undoubtedly, some suckers are buying it. It’s a piece of packaging with a clear plastic sphere sticking out of it that contains absolutely nothing. Well, there’s something in there, but it’s just the same as what’s outside it: thin air. And get this: It costs…

iPhone Gets A Traffic Button (Or Not); Surveys Say People Want iPhones (Or Not); June Is Still iPhone Launch Month (Or Not)

Welcome to a Friday-night, Ballmer-free edition of iPhone Non-News. The least minor of non-events was the discovery of two buttons in the iPhone Google Maps app interface, shown in the above left panel of iLounge’s illustration. You’ll notice that one button features “a couple of wavy lines” (to quote one of my favorite movies). The…

Why Jensen Rock-N-Road Costs $800: Optional Backup Camera, Other Tricks

On Tuesday, we said that the $800 price tag on the Jensen NVXM1000 Rock-N-Road seemed expensive. It is, but it’s down from the $1,000 it was supposed to cost when announced at CES. Also, further investigation suggests it’s got more than most portables. Sure, it lacks the Bluetooth so many of the cool GPS navigators…

Add Remote-Controlled On/Off to Your Original Xbox

Whenever there’s an announcment about getting more file types to play back on the Xbox 360, PS3, or Wii, a lot of you always seem to want to remind everyone else that you’re already running XBMC on your original Xboxes. Okay, we get it. It’s great. Whopee! But if you are using XBMC, this $35…

Belkin’s iPod Cases Support Fight Against Breast Cancer

If you or your lady were going to buy an iPod Nano armband or an iPod Nano case anyway, why not buy a pink one and support breast cancer research at the same time? These aren’t pink because Belkin’s trying to appeal to ladies (though that could be a side benefit), they’re pink because of…
