VMware Pushing Virtual Machines for Smartphones, Will Support Parallel OSes

VMware, which consumers know mostly for their Fusion desktop virtualization software, is moving into the mobile space, albeit surreptitiously.

What does this mean…

Grooveneo iPhone Clock Dock Good For Wake-Ups, Myopia

We’ve seen iPhone/iPod alarm-clock docks before, but something about the simplicity of the Cygnett Grooveneo’s design struck me. Could be that massive LED display like the best of 1980’s radio-alarms, could be the sleek curved edges. It’s got 2.75-inch stereo speakers, iPod dock connector, integrated AM/FM tuner, alarm function and you can even wake to…

GM Working On New “Cadillac One” Limo For Obama

Now that we’re going to have a new president, it’s time for a new presidential limo-and GM is whipping up quite a doozy for the new Prez-elect. “Cadillac One” will be based off of the GMC Topkick, which you may remember as Ironhide from Transformers. For pretty obvious reasons, details on what exactly makes up…

Tokyoflash Fire Watch Looks Hot, But Useless For Telling Time

Now that more or less everyone uses cellphones to tell the time, watches have been relegated to mere decorative pieces. At least that’s what it seems like with Tokyoflash’s watches, which look great but are nigh-impossible to read. It’s latest watch, Fire, is a beautiful streamlined little thing that wraps around your wrist and flashes…

Weather Made to Order? (1954)

Before starting the Paleo-Future blog I had no idea that weather control was such a prominent feature of mid-20th-century futurism. Raised on Jurassic Park’s pop version of chaos theory, I suppose that little Matty was deathly afraid a butterfly beating its wings in Indochina would cause a typhoon in Omaha. And thus, messing with a…

Take a Trip Down Memory Lane With Other Failed Gadget Sellers

Now that Circuit City’s closing up shop, perhaps we should take a minute to remember other failed gadget dealers from our country’s storied history. Technologizer’s compiled a bunch of old television ads from now defunct tech stores and they’re a treasure trove of early 1990s cheesiness and the repetitive mantra, “Lowest prices! Best Selection! Amazing…

Gibson’s Dark Fire: Les Paul Reborn as RoboCop

It looks like the reason Gibson’s self-tuning Robot guitar had a limited run is that the legendary guitar innovator had a much more insane second stage already blueprinted up: Gibson’s Dark Fire Les Paul-style digital guitar is the crowning shred-related scientific achievement of our time. Think of it as the Robot plus the Moog synth…

The numbers on the faceplate are not just written—and listed—backwards, but the hour and minute hands move counter-clockwise as well. For $36, this watch simply tells time…
