Nike: Designer of Shoes, Spaceships

Nike is usually known for its stylish footwear and athletic equipment. What it s not known for, at least not yet, is its wicked-cool kiosks. Japanese pop star Hiroshi Fujiwara recently snapped some shots at the Nike headquarters in Portland and Los Angeles, including the NIKE-ID machine. These futuristic-looking devices let you custom-build your own…

Iqua UFO Bluetooth Headset/Table Ornament

Iqua has released a Bluetooth “headset” that is not really a headset, but a tabletop conference calling system. Plop it down on the coffee table and start the 3-way calling action, because that’s what Iqua has in mind for the UFO. It features a nice LCD that displays the time and date as well as…

High Tech Phone Books, Finally (maybe)

Some Finlandianites will be launching the first “smart phone books” in the spring of 2006. This service will work with a variety of cell phones including nine Nokia models, three Ericsson models, two Samsung and pretty much any phone that is Symbian 60-based. Upcodes of the smart phone book can be read with a mobile…

Comments Borking

We see that the comments are really borked under the Gift Guide headings. You’re not all screaming at each other. The CSS stylesheet is making us scream in comments. May or may not be fixed, cause it’s kind of funny.

Sharp PW-N8000 Color Dictionary

At first thought, a color dictionary seems about as useful as a deer carcass to a vegan chef. In my usual fashion, after further investigation this device proved to be a bit more useful than I initially thought. This device features the Encyclopaedia Britannica with pictures that are viewed on a 4.3″ 480×272 screen. There…

Asus M303i Clamshell

Here’s a nice-looking 3G clamshell phone from Asus, which apart from the little antenna isn’t a bad deal. With two cameras—a 1.3-megapixel in the front and a 2-megapixel in the back—it also has a loudspeaker and a built-in MP3 player. Though you only get 4MB of built-in memory, it does have a miniSD slot and…

Miracle Potato in time for Christmas

Looks like this potato has had a narrow escape from its life of being mashed and ingested. It was 7:30 PM, December 4th, 2005. The second Sunday of advent, in Joshua Tree, California. Personal Chef Karin Winkler started to prepare dinner. While thinking about upcoming Christmas, she was peeling and cutting a potato. Everything appeared…

Father of DVD Not Happy With Prodigal Son

With a nickname like “The Father of DVD,” I guess Warren Lieberfarb can say pretty much anything he wants about the format these days. And yesterday, he gave a surprising speech in which he blasted Blu-ray. Taking the next-generation DVD battle another step into uglytown, Lieberfarb said Hollywood is acting like a bunch of lemmings,…

Origami-like Vase is Wonder-ful

Yes, the Wonder Vase lives up to its name. For just $5.95, you’ll get a sheet of paper that when placed in hot water will then automagically bend itself into a stunning vase. Of course, then you have to cool it down in cold water to hold its shape, but once that’s done, you’re good…

Creative Set to Sue Apple, Your Mom

Here’s another lawsuit pending from Creative against mighty Apple. Creative says it owns the US patent for music navigation on digital music players, which it started marketing back in 2000 (before the iPod hit the stores). This basically covers the way music tracks are organized and navigated through a hierarchical system using three or more…

Cell Phone to Picture Frame, Easy as Pie

Cell phone pictures never really had a place in mainstream society. They were low quality and there were never really pictures to take of stuff worthy of a second look. Well, with the new technology and higher-quality camera phones, now maybe it’s time to put all of those drunken bar pictures on display for all…

More Details on Sonys Second DRM Debacle

We reported the other day about new DRM-encumbered CDs from Sony that posed a security threat to users PCs. While Sony and SunnComm, the company responsible for the DRM, contend that the security risks were addressed with a recent patch, new reports suggest otherwise. Princeton s Ed Felton discovered that the patch itself poses a…

Microsoft DRM Woes

First Sony gets themselves knee-deep in DRM problems, and now Microsoft is the next to piss us off with special DRM protection re: Xbox 360. The 360 is perfectly capable of streaming music from a networked PC, unfortunately there seems to be a little problem when trying to load MP3s onto the hard drive in…

A Keyboard That Would Make Jack Proud

So it appears that both computers and bean enthusiasts can live in peace and harmony. Looks like a dude named Johannes Hjort planted some beans inside his keyboard and watered them. After a few days, the beans started to sprout and grow within the keyboard. Some started to lift the keys up like a creature…

Solar Traffic Signs – Why Didn’t We Think Of That?

Why aren’t traffic signals solar powered? There must be some good reason—like maybe the idea doesn’t work…? Well, Lintec Corp is marketing solar-powered traffic signs. They are wireless, too, and supposedly save $2,800 on electricity over 10 years. (Which doesn’t sound like much—I will pay more than that for home heating next month with the…

PS3 Still Launching Spring 2006

We’ve heard rumours of a delayed PS3 launch, but Sony is still promising Spring as its release target. Seems the next-generation DVD format war has been at the center of delay theories. “The PS3 was touted as being the first high volume Blu-ray player. You want to have an installed base of players if you…

Xbox 360 Takes Japan

What a difference the Asian market makes. Though Xbox 360 units sold out ridiculously quickly here in the US and in Europe, analysts in Japan are saying that gamers are planning to take a more wait-and-see attitude. Even so, the 360 launches in Japan on Sunday and preorders on the web seem to be looking…

Son of Son of Killer Drone

The X-45C looks like it means business. This is a bigger killer drone—over 18,000 pounds—that offers a remote viewer a point-click-and-eviscerate user-interface for destroying the enemy. While the current crop of drones must be piloted remotely, this one apparently can track a target all by itself, ensuring that one of these things will get loose…

HDTV Test Pattern Multitool: Calibug

The trouble with hunting for an HDTV is that the clerks at most retailers futz up the contrast and brightness and then show cartoons with unbearably saturated colors. Before you buy one, you’d better re-calibrate those suckers to see what they really look like. Trouble is, calibrating an HDTV requires serious hardware or at least…

Nokia opened the doors to its very first flagship store yesterday—in Moscow!

Promising 17 similar stores in the next 2 years, Nokia says these…
