Air Shower Removes Germs, Dignity

In the land of the rising sun, germs are a concern. That’s why this $15,900 “air shower” actually exists there, forcing despondent salarymen to subject themselves to a crazy wind tunnel that sucks the pollen and germs out of hiding in their various creases and crevasses before they enter an office building. It seems kind…

XM was showing off a “Concept Infotainment Vehicle” at its Auto Show booth (next to Sirius’s, natch). Basically, it was an SUV outfitted with a integrated pack of XM services: Weather, ParkingLink, and voice controls were the main showing points. It was also demoing in-car video, but the XM rep said not to expect it…

Sony VAIO Graphic Splash Edition Laptops, All Gussied Up In Easter Outfits

Somebody pinch me. Sony’s dressed up some VAIO laptops for the Easter parade. Too bad they’re limited to just 1350 units. Never mind all the goofy names for the colors Sony has festooned to the shells of these VAIOs, just join us in gawking at the photos of these purdy 13.3-inch VAIO C series and…

Head Spa Massager Relaxes, Makes You Look Stupid, Could Probably Lobotomize You

Do you know that late-night, drooling hypnotic feeling that happens while you are watching infomercials for MP3-enabled Windows Mobile 6.0-based robotic potato peelers? Well, that’s exactly the state I got into when I made the error to follow the TV watch link and enter into the horrors of Gadget Universe, The Site. So, what in…

Apple Patent Brings Multi-Size Icons to the Finder

Looks like Apple has some hidden tricks up its sleeve for OS X. A recent patent shows how the Mac OS X Finder may one day be able to display different-sized icons. So the bigger the icon, the more important it is in that particular window. (Users will also be able to assign which icons…

Infiniti EX Concept: Blind Spots Be Damned

Normally we leave the fawning over new cars to that other blog, but the new Infiniti EX Concept has some gadget-y goodness that has even our by subway/sneaker selves eyeing this luxury SUV.

Nanogenerator Magically Cranks Out Watts From the Environment

We’re thinking this nanotechnology thing is catching on big-time. First someone figured out how to use the technology to keep panties fresh and odor-free, and now brilliant scientists have been developing small generators that might just be able to someday do away with batteries. They’re first trying to develop a way to power those devices…

Home Theater Watch Is Neither for Home Nor a Theater, Barely a Watch

Apparently, someone at Gadget Universe (an Alexander Innovation Wizard Company, the geniuses who previously brought you the Sun Visor Theater, the Pseudo-UFO and other potentially hazardous inventions) got the idea that watching movies on a 1.5″ 128 x 128 pixel OLED screen mounted on a watch was a good idea. So good in fact, that…

i-Mate’s 2007 Phones Leaked Online

We’ve given you a heads-up on a couple of i-Mate’s forthcoming phones, but now someone at the company has done us the favor of leaking the company’s entire roadmap for ’07.

A Disturbing Trend at the NY Auto Show

A big trend at the show was better integration with/of gadgets, especially in upscale models (BMW) or ones aimed at younger people (Scion), so dedicated iPod connectors and integrated controls were epidemic. Integrated controls are nice, especially BMW’s “knob” which provides a pretty decent parallel to the scroll wheel you’ve fondled thousand of times, and…
