USB Christmas Tree

If any of you actually buy these USB-Powered Christmas Trees, you’ll have to promise me that everything you put under your tree will also be a USB device. You could even wrap up little flash drives as presents and give them away to your office mates, or maybe put a USB-powered vibrator under there and…

Sega’s Near Me Robot Cat

At first Sega’s “Near Me” robot cat looks cute. “A $300 robot pet that plays and cuddles with me?” you might ask, rhetorically, “Awesome!” That is, until you see the little bastard move in the videos at the bottom of the page. If you aren’t ready to bash the Near Me into bits of robot…

Chrome Robosapien

Could it be that Sharper Image actually has something marginally cool? Incomprehensible as that may be, it appears that the technoshlock vendor is selling special edition “Signature Series” RoboSapiens, available in both Chrome and Blue, with designer Mark Tilden’s autograph. I realized as I started to write this that I had missed my little brother’s…

Powerbook: 1, God: 0

It’s a sad fact of life that God hates Mac users. If you needed any more proof, check out these pictures of this burnt and charred 12-inch Powerbook, caught in an apartment fire, which despite the damage and encrustations is reported to still work. What can we learn from this? In a kickboxing match between…

Hush Technologies Announces ATX MCE Home Theater PC

Hush Technologies has announced a new version of their fanless home entertainment computer, this time called the ATX MCE (for Microsoft Windows XP Media Center Edition 2005). Besides the addition of the new OS, it doesn’t look as if it’s terribly different from any of the older ATX versions, all of which were pretty nice…

RWC Bulldog Flash Drive with Camera

In doing some research (you know, “reading”) for the article immediately below this one, I stumbled across a device listed as “coming soon” on RWC’s homepage. The “Bulldog” is a USB flash memory device with an integrated 1.3MP digital camera. Keen Gizmodo readers will recall that Philips has a line of products similar to this:…

RWC Thunderbird Simple USB Transfer Cable

RWC introduced the “Thunderbird,” which appears to be nothing more than a simple USB file transfer cable – but that’s the point. If you’ve ever tried to use one of these kinds of devices to transfer files over from one PC to the next, you’ll understand that not having to install any drivers or software…

The Tube Lamp

I’m sort of in love with this Tube Lamp by Nik Willmore, which is a really dangerous thing since he lives and works right here in New York. At $225, though, it’s almost cheap enough to just get and justify as a heirloom or something. Here’s your inheritance, kids, and it glows! Oh, and if…

PalmOne Tungsten T5 and E2 Rumors, Pics

So when I mentioned that we had some older news that needed to be revisited, this is basically what I was talking about. Some of the first information about the PalmOne Tungsten T5 and E2 PDAs has come to light, and while there’s lots of interesting tidbits (rumor, of course) like the T5’s lack of…

Pictures of Apple’s Osaka Store, Nagoya Store Announced

Impress Watch took advantage of Apple’s offer to members of the press for a sneak preview of the Shinsaibashi store (in Osaka, Japan), and brought back images that remind me of… the Apple store in the mall. Not that it’s an entirely bad thing – the mall stores are pretty swanky. While we’re on the…

iBiz Virtual Keyboard Returns

If you have been keeping up with the PDA/mobile market, you’ve probably seen this before. I first remember hearing about this technology a couple years ago – a virtual keyboard is projected onto a flat surface and an infrared sensor will detect the interruption in the laser beam. This would be interpreted as a keystroke.…

Built NEC Tough

NEC announced a new notebook PC last week that can seemingly take quite a beating. It may cost around $4,000 and weigh 6 pounds, but who cares when it can survive a 3 foot drop and withstand up to 131 degrees Fahrenheit? While they were at it, NEC went ahead and made the thing “dust…

Australian Air-Powered Engine

An Australian man has invented a vehicle powered by compressed air, although it’s not the world’s first, despite his claims (I’ve seen other prototypes before). However, the best part of Angelo Di Pietro’s design is that it tosses almost all of the moving parts traditionally associated with engines, instead leaving traditional pistons-in-cylinder designs for a…

Orange SPV C500 First Impressions

When reader Martin McNeil asked us why we hadn’t talked much about his new phone, the Orange SPV C500, we did the logical thing and asked him to do our job for us. Since Marty is a sucker, he actually did it. We’re going to start making everybody answer their own questions (and why does…

SanDisk Cruzer Titanium Reviewed

When EverythingUSB reviews the SanDisk Cruzer Titanium, they give it high marks for having nice included bundled software and a high-speed, USB 2.0 connection. You’ll like the $100 flash drive because it’s made of a shiny, impress-your-friends metal, with a retractable USB bit and a glowy blue LED. For something that goes in your pocket…

We’ll be playing just a tad of a catch up this morning, including a few bits of news that are almost four days old, until we move up into things that just happened, and then back into our usual rhythm of making things up wholesale. Like this Logitech MX1000 mouse, which someone actually sent me…

While a sergeant on the scene agreed that the wash-away spray chalk probably wasn’t defacement…
