This Hand Vac Is Your Only Hope To Defend a Couch from Cat Hair

Batteries are the Achilles heel of any portable gadget. It was NiCad that brought the downfall of Black & Decker’s much-loved DustBuster vacs. Now, the company’s new, updated Flex hand vacs have lithium-ion rechargeable batteries. These should offer twice the runtime over an old DustBuster, even if the new “Flex” name is roughly half as…

Your average e-bike is just a regular bicycle fitted with an electric motor. When the battery dies, you can just revert to pedalling so you’re not stranded. The new Footloose from Mando, however, takes a different approach. There’s still a set of pedals, but they’re used to power an alternator which generates electricity keeping the…

This Flashlight 9-in-1 Multi-Tool Is Completely Out of Hand

Multi-tools pack everything you need into a small, convenient device. Sometimes they can go a little overboard. But this thing takes it to a whole new level. The 9-in-1 Emergency Light stores a knife, scissors, Phillips-head screwdriver, bottle opener, carabiner, and a hammer all into the base of a flashlight/latern that also has a blinking…

A 29 Megapixel Security Camera Could Catch a Flea Breaking and Entering

The traditional approach to video surveillance is to blanket a property with low-res VGA cameras to catch suspicious activities from any angle. But with Avigilon’s 29 megapixel JPEG2000 HD Pro, you can slap a wide angle Canon lens on the end and cover an entire parking lot in one fell swoop. It might border on…

The Car-Sized iNuke Boom Dock Has Shrunk: The Dance Party Is Over

Behringer’s iNuke Boom car-sized iPhone dock is one of the most ridiculous speakers ever created.

Over the Top Rifle Controller Makes Modern Warfare More Real Than Ever

iPad Pinball Controller Makes No Promise of Wizardry

One of the few action-oriented games that shines on a touchscreen device is pinball, thanks to its dead simple control scheme.
