BookEndz: The Mac Laptop Docking Station

At first, we thought it be great to be able to connect our MacBooks and MacBook Pros with all the USB, Firewire, Monitor, and speakers ports with a dock connector so we could sit down and get to work in about 5 seconds. That’s where BookEndz comes in. They offer docks for the MacBook Pros,…

Anthony Gallo’s $15k, Omnidirectional Powerhouses

Hey, you. Yes, you. Got $15,000 burning a hold in your pocket? Don’t buy a Kia! That’s boring and somewhat responsible. Anthony Gallo Acoustics has some pretty crazy speakers they’d like to sell you instead. Their Reference 5 LS are damn-near omnidirectional, spitting out sound in 300 degrees. Also, if you like your home theater…

Motorola S9 Bluetooth Headphones are Light, Discreet

Like my favorite adult entertainers, the Motorola S9 are very small, lightweight, comfortable and discreet in every fashion imaginable. These Bluetooth stereo headphones can sync up with your MP3 player or cellphone and allows for listening to music or receiving and making calls. Other notable features include integrated touch-controls for navigating through music or making/receiving…

TiVo Series3 Software Update Rolling Out Now

That long-promised a software update 8.1 for the TiVo Series3, which was originally slated for a late 2006 release, is finally beginning to roll out. The bad news is there’s still no TiVoToGo or multi-room viewing available in the HDTV PVR from TiVo. However, the latest update does include TiVoCast capability that will allow Amazon…

Former Diamond, Musicmatch, and iRiver Execs Band Together To Make Captain Planet-Level Music Player

What do you get when you combine three execs from companies that didn’t quite make as huge a dent on the portable media player industry as Apple? A company called Broadband Instruments with plans to release some sort of ultimate music player that’s based on an “internet radio ecosystem”. What’s supposedly special about this is…

Update: You’re right, Meizu M8 Totally NOT iPhone Clone

Here’s more incriminating evidence that the Meizu M8 rips off the iPhone hardcore, which we first noticed two weeks ago. One thing’s for sure: the Meizu dude needs to cut his fingernails. https://gizmodo.com/meizu-m8-pmp-phone-looks-awfully-familiar-232224 iPhone Look A-Like, Meizu miniOne To Make Its Debut [VR-Zone via My iPhone]

Milk is the Desk Dreams are Made of

Saying that this desk is simple and minimalist is a bit of an understatement. If the iPod were to magically grow to a full size functional desk, this is how it would likely look. Everything is neatly tucked away, including cables and compartments for peripherals. Oh, and did I mention it has a fish tank?…

Rumor Smashed: LG Prada Phone Does NOT Run Windows Mobile 6

Wait, does the LG Prada run Windows Mobile 6? Even though these pictures say yes, there’s no identifying “Prada” markings on it. So we asked LG and Prada themselves. https://gizmodo.com/shots-of-the-lg-prada-running-windows-mobile-6-236131 What did they say? They said The LG Prada phone has never, and will never run Windows Mobile 6. It runs a proprietary OS made…

Elecom Rose EarDrops Phones: Rosebuds for Your Ears

Just in time for Valentine’s Day (or maybe a bit too late) are EarDrops, rose-shaped earbuds from Elecom that give you a unique flowering rose backing in a variety of colors. They supposedly sound as good as they look, too, with the company touting their frequency response at 20Hz to 20kHz. The EHP-AIN40 series is…

Glowing Mini Message Board: Back to the Glowing Mini Drawing Board

From the good ideas gone wrong department comes this diminutive glowing message board. Sure, leaving messages is great, and hey, glowing is neat too, but what’s with the fact that it needs to be stuck on an outlet? Basically, you can bend down to over the baseboard and leave a very short message for someone…

Evesham Sound Stage X1 is a TV Stand, Surround Sound System

I love it when two products get together and mate to form a completely new and awesome product—kind of like when a squirrel mated with a parrot to create the duck-billed platypus. The Sound Stage X1 is a fairly snazzy (and cheap) TV stand that comes with a 50W subwoofer, two 20W center speakers, four…

Yahoo, Monster Cable Join Anti-DRM Front

Could the tide be turning against DRM? First Stevey Jobs wrote his letter against DRM, then EMI explored selling their catalogue DRM-free. Now Yahoo and Monster Cable are on the DRM-must-die bandwagon. https://gizmodo.com/steve-jobs-on-drm-it-must-die-234448 Sure, the announcements of support may have just been PR moves trying to get love from geeks, but any anti-DRM support is…

Directed Electronics DMHD-1000 HD Radio Tuner For Your Current Car Radio

HD Radio isn’t exactly Mr. Popular, but that can be attributed to the fact that people don’t want to replace their car (where most radio listening takes place) radios. Directed Electronics’ DMHD-1000 turns most factory or aftermarket radios into HD radios. One catch: it uses an FM modulator. Since part of HD Radio’s draw is…

Footloose Heels Crank From Low to High In Seconds

We’re no big high heel wearers ourselves, but we like to watch those who choose to wear them walking away from us, as long as they promise to come right back.

ChronoArt Wall Clock: Well, We Think It’s A Clock

Wow, two clocks in one day. We’re truly blessed. This one, the ChronoArt II, uses LEDs that shift with the hour. Unfortunately, it’s about as hard to understand as Chinese math.

The guys at the Doom 9 forum are marking February 11, 2007 as the day when digital rights management was defeated on Blu-ray and HD DVD discs.
