Big Tiki USB Flash Drive

Though I would near-absolutely prefer a USB flash drive fashioned after the sacrosanct Lemonhead character in The Curse of Monkey Island 3, I’m content angering (or appeasing) the Volcano gods with the TikiMac brand Big Tiki Drive. The USB cable glows a lavaesque red, illuminating the eyes and beneath the imposing, spirit-dwelled hand-cast and hand-painted…

CreateDigitalMusic‘s Peter Kirn is back with this week’s coolest gear from the world of electronic music. This week it’s video gear, not music, that earns drool: new kit for VJing from Korg in Japan.

Sony Kills the PSX

Sony’s given up production of the PSX media center device in Japan. The PSX was the hybrid Playstation 2 and DVR machine, which launched with much fanfare in Japan, with product shortages and the whole bit, only to leave most customers unsatisfied. That was in no small part to the lack of promised features in…

Siemens A-Series Phones

Siemens is set to rock the cellphone market to its core with the launch of their A-Series phones. With features like WAP capability, sixteen-chord polyphonic(!) ringtones, and two games loaded in standard (please be Snake 1 and Snake 2!), you can expect the competition to spend the rest of this quarter scrambling to keep up.…

Xbox Jellydong Mod

This would normally be a post where I’d tell you the posts just write themselves, except they don’t. I totally wrote what you just read. As should be obvious, I have nothing to add to this little bit of hax0rneering, except to remind you that your SeXBox jelly dong is connector to a controller, which…

MP-O2-OTG Media Drive Book

It’s not quite the Hitchhiker’s Guide, but the new MP-O2-OTG is a pretty slick little portable media drive enclosure. Not only does it look like a book (for easy hiding in your wood-paneled study), it decodes a variety of audio and video formats via VGA and component connections. You’ll probably have to wait for a…

Hello Kitty iPod mini

Featuring a set of custom keyboards and a strappy case, the new Sanrio iPod mini & Hello Kitty Be@rBrick set is sure to be a big hit, despite the actual iPod mini having only the slightest of modifications (a little white Hello Kitty logo on the back). But like the Doraemon iPod mini before it,…

EnviroMission Solar Tower

There’s a joke to be made about giant phallic symbols built on Australian sheep farms, but not before my coffee. The 3,280-foot tall solar tower idea first tossed around a few years ago is on it’s way to actually happening, now that land in the Australian outback has been secured. When finished, the tower will…

Jens Of Sweden MP-120

Jens of Sweden is taking on the iPod shuffle, launching the MP-120, a 1GB player with an OLED display that retails for one krona less than Apple’s flash player. As is typical for JoS players, the MP-120 can play a variety of formats, including OGG Vorbis and WMA. The players all have an excellent battery…

Homebrew Mac mini Dock

Well, my email is being half-assed right now for some reason, so I don’t recall the name of the guy who made this Mac mini dock. My apologies if your name isn’t actually ‘Lazzwaldo.’ The idea, if memory serves, was not necessarily to make the most attractive bit of drilled metal, but to instead make…

If you’re looking for an easy, hassle-free way to blow $400 on a sub-par MP3 Player, RCA-Thompson would like you to consider their RCA Lyra PDP 2812. The 5GB MP3/WMA/JPEG player has an uninspired design, and 1.5 inch color screen (if the JPEG support didn’t give it away). Showing up in Europe only at the…

The Day in iPod: Photo Storage for More Than Just iPod Photo? (Update: Durrrrr)

What do today’s iPod upgrades mean for Apple’s music player? First off, while we didn’t get the color screen iPod minis as we had hoped for, we did see the iPod photo move to take over the full-sized iPod product segment. Along with the 30 and 60GB iPod photos, Apple also removed all but the…
