Zabady Streams TV Around The House With Wi-Fi

Japan’s Twinbird is coming out with a gadget that wirelessly streams TV all throughout your humble abode.

Nixon Watch Doubles as Recorder

If those LED watches are still giving you trouble, perhaps you’d be better off with a watch like this.

LG Releases Ultra-Slim LX-Series LCDs

LG, while they seem to disappear from the radar for months at a time, has popped back up to unveil the 17-inch LX76D and 19-inch LX96D LCDs.
