Saishin Diode

One thing I have in common with the Japanese is their love and respect for the red LED. While every other product these days has a shining blue blinder shining somewhere within, the subtle warmth of the red LED still finds its way into products like this Diode watch from Saishin, which counts down the…

Alienware DHS 2

I think someone sent this in as a tip yesterday and to whoever you are, I’m sorry, because I totally lost the email. But this new Alienware DHS 2 is pretty hot and bears mentioning. Media Center PCs by definition should fit in with the rest of your A/V hardware, so this component-sized computer is…

Toshiba Multimedia Center Audio/USB Hub

It took me a second to sort out what, exactly, this Toshiba Multimedia Center Audio/USB Hub does, but it’s really pretty simple once you grok it. It’s just a port expander for laptops, essentially, combining many useful features like 5.1 sound, SPDIF out, and a USB hub into a single $130 unit. There’s even an…

GoDogGo Automatic Fetch System

I want a puppy. I spend all day cooped up in this apartment—I do it for you, people—and have been thinking the cats and I could use a pal to curse when when we have to take him outside to do his business. And if we get around to dog-proofing the place it’s going to…

Everything USB has a very positive review of the Plextor ConvertX PVR PX-TV402U, one of those fancy USB TV tuner things. And it looks like a nice bit of kit and all that—check it out if you’re in the market. But I have a question for you guys: can you play videogames on these things,…

ESPN has announced the launch of ESPN Mobile, a branded reselling of Sprint cellular service that would focus on—wait for it—sports. Set to start sometime in 2005, customers will get streaming sports audio and video in addition to regular news like sports scores and information about the latest murders or rapes committed by pro players.…

Thanko Frog and Fish USB Hubs

Thanko has a couple of a new USB hubs/pen/telephone holders with the increasingly and mysteriously popular fake floating fish inside. And get this—the pen version even has fake frogs. Why not put real frog eggs inside, using the USB to power a water cleaner, teaching our children the valuable lesson that all of God’s creatures…

Sharper Image Sound Soother Fifty

The Sharper Image breaks my heart. When I was a child I used to take the catalogs from my grandparents’ home, thumbing through each page as the first flickers of gadget lust ran through my tiny, ham-engorged heart. Used to be, they were simply a collection of the shiniest new gear from a variety of…

M-Audio Ozonic Keyboard and FireWire Interface

M-Audio announced a new flash looking keyboard that happens to double as a FireWire interface to your PC. The $600 Ozonic features a 37-note keyboard and built-in analog inputs, including a single XLR microphone input with phantom power. Even better, it’s bus powered, so it’s just one cord between you and your PC. Is it…

Talon Robots to Wield Guns in Iraq

My nigga Noah Shachtman, who I call ‘nigga’ because neither of us is black, drops mechanized science in this story for Wired, talking about a new prototype Talon robots that will be hitting the sunny deserts of Iraq—fully-armed. I won’t say this is a spectacularly bad idea, because 1) it’s awesome, 2) robots are unthinking…

Plant a Phone, Grow a Sunflower

I saw a bit about flowering phones yesterday, but couldn’t find a picture. I must have been looking in the wrong place, though, because good ol’ Tree Hugger found one with a minimum of fuss. The idea is simple: when you’re done with your phone, shove it into the dirt. The casing is made from…

Sanwa Supply’s Mopets Animal Screen Cleaners

Sanwa Supply has a new line of animal-shaped screen cleaners out, called “Mopets.” At only 819 yen (about $8) a pop, who could possibly resist a Golden Retriever, Dachshund, Panda, Hamster, or Raccoon Dog? Why, they even double as wrist rests. Did I mention Hamster? Just lining that up there. Product Information [Sanwa Supply]

Pressure Drop PaperHub

Did you know Choctaw was one of the few languages that had a tense to indicate the veracity of the statement being said? I read that on Slashdot yesterday. Did you know Slashdot was staffed entirely by elves, or men dressed like elves? I love their little shoe bells, which are known as ‘Gawlowski’ in…

Community Works to Port Tungsten T5 Wi-Fi to Treo

Reader Brian MacFarland dropped a link over on Treo Central to our story about the new SD Wi-Fi card drivers for Palm’s Tungsten T5, where we made an off-hand comment about the need for those drivers on the Treo 650. And even though we were just one of many to report that news, I’d like…

Soldam PANDORA RHAPSODY 7″ Cube PC Case

Not only is Soldam’s new “PANDORA RHAPSODY” case one of the smallest on the block, I’m perfectly willing to say it’s one of the coolest looking, too. Measuring only 7-inches (185mm) across, tall, and deep, the PANDORA RHAPSODY case needs a small motherboard; one of these mini-ITX deals. In fact, it even comes with a…

Kanguru Audio Flash Ships

Kanguru’s Audio Flash has apparently shipped, with USB 2.0 and a still-kinda-rare OLED screen. Looks like it supports MP3, WMA, and WAV, and has all the standard trimmings. Pricing isn’t mentioned, but excepting the OLED screen there’s no reason to think it’ll be much different than competing flash players. Kangaru Solutions Ships the Audio Flash…

Aliph Jawbone Headset Reviewed

I gave the Aliph Jawbone headset a pretty hard time the first time I saw it, but to its credit, every single person I know who has used the corded hands-free units has been pleasantly surprised.

Camper’s Dream Ice Cream Maker

If you happen to be unskilled in the art of yo-yo, you may have your cream with the Camper’s Dream, a reasonably priced human-powered ice cream mixer. Basically, you roll the ball (which looks suspiciously like a repurposed hamster ball) around for 20 minutes, and you have a pint of ice cream. As far as…
