Low End Theory: Repellent

Click to view By Brendan I. Koerner The animal lover in me so wants ultrasonic pest repellers to work. It’s probably slightly speciesist of me to kill mice for periodically invading my kitchen, right? All they’re doing is being mice, chasing after scraps of food as nature intended.

Japanese Robot Hand Crushes Cans, Gives Dean Kamen the Finger

Researchers from the Tokyo Institute for Technology have developed the first bionic hand strong enough to crush a can.

First Garmin Nuvi 200 GPS Review: Barebones, Fast, Capable

I’d written about the highly capable c580 GPS the other day with endless bells and whistles—not all of them useful. https://gizmodo.com/hands-on-garmins-streetpilot-c580-gps-instant-traffic-243683 Now I’ve gotten my hands on that cheap-o Nuvi 200 and I have to say, testing them side by side, they gave nearly identical performances in terms of warning me of turns, locking onto…

Everyone and Their Mother Teams Up to Form GooTube Competitor

The equivalent of the 1992 US Men’s Olympic basketball team has just gotten together to develop a competitor to GooTube.

Motorola Putting the Sidekick on a RAZR Diet?

The boys at Moto are infamous for putting their cell phones through fat camp, and it appears their latest graduate is the once-portly Sidekick. This “leaked” PowerPoint slide talks of a Moto-made Sidekick X RAZR Multimedia device. Since Moto’s RAZR line consists of ultrathin phones, it’s a safe bet to assume the Sidekick X RAZR…
