Jabra BT4010 Bluetooth Headset Has LCD Info Screen

Jabra’s new BT4010 Bluetooth headset has one feature that sets it apart from all the others: a teeny, tiny LCD screen. With that one addition, decoding what your headset is up to is no longer a game of flashing lights or R2D2-like beeps: it’ll show you when it’s connected, when there’s a call, and how…

Sony HDR-TG1 Handycam Is World’s Smallest “Full HD” Camcorder

Meant more for geeky vacationers than pros, Sony’s calling its HDR-TG1 Handycam the world’s smallest “full HD” camcorder, packing 10 ounces into a 1.3 x 4.7 x 2.5-inch titanium frame. Sony is all about face-detecting as of late, which comes standard here on both video and still shooting. It can identify up to eight mugs,…

Comcast Rolls Out Japan-Fast Cable Internet, But Can You Afford It?

DOCSIS 3.0 is the next-gen cable internet standard that allows crazy fast bandwidth of up to 160Mbps downstream and 120 up. The lucky first city to get a piece of that action from Comcast—which plans to cover 20 percent of its market with the awesome by the end of this year—is St. Paul, Minnesota. Denizens…

LEGO Brick Tower Mood Light Builds a Castle of Happiness

These aren’t LEGO in the way that actual LEGO are LEGO, but they are translucent bricks that you can stack on top of each other to build structures. In this case, the structure is a tower with a hole in the middle for a light to go, which then passes through the various colors you’ve…

WiMax Competitor LTE Runs Wii Online Multiplayer So Fast It Seems Local

WiMax isn’t the only the live 4G game in town. Alcatel-Lucent is running an arguably much sexier demo of LTE (long-term evolution), the high-speed 4G network that Verizon and AT&T are going to deploy. Besides streaming video to a wall of TVs with over 100Mbps of throughput, they have two Wiis hooked up, one on…

Lightning Review: iWavecube Ultra-Mini Microwave

The Gadget: The iWavecube microwave from iCube Designs and Sharper Image is billed as the “world’s first and only personal portable microwave.” A Ramen-ready space-saver that is perfect for a foodaholic that lacks the time or the skills to cook a proper meal. Price:$129.95 Verdict: It works, but with only 600 watts of power, you…

AT&T Surface Retail Demo: Buying a Cellphone Finally Doesn’t Suck

AT&T just ran us through a demo of what shopping with Microsoft’s Surface at their stores is gonna be like. It’s wayyy better than dealing with an embittered, ill-informed retail drone. You can dynamically check out coverage, smoothly zooming in and out for a fantastically detailed view of where you might get 3G, for instance.…

Marumi Macro Ring Light for Point & Shoot Digital Cameras Makes Your Face More Attractive

The flash on most point and shoot cameras is harsh and makes your subjects look horrible. It’s fine if you’re just taking a night shot of your buddies in a bar, but when you want slightly higher quality shots for your eBay photos or your “personal collection,” you need something like this Marumi Ring Light…

Tooth Regeneration Tech Could Make Fillings Obsolete

Scientists are hard at work on making teeth regrow the crystals that make up dentin and enamel, allowing them to phase out fillings and drillings completely. The goal is to spot tooth decay early and then get the teeth to grow healthy tooth-matter over the bad spots. No fuss, no muss. They say that the…

The Hilarity of the Farting Clock Will Never, Ever Get Old

This is the “Who Did It?” clock. Every hour that there’s light, on the hour, it farts. When the lights are out it’ll refrain from waking you up with flatulence, leaving that to you and/or your bedmate. I’d say that this is a great way to see exactly how long you’ll find farts funny, but…

USB Hub With Magnetic Mount Sounds Like a Bad Idea

So at first glance what we have here looks like a well designed four-port USB hub, with a handy top-placed port for convenient thumb-drive plugging. It’s not multicolored, it doesn’t have a photo frame built in, it doesn’t transform. Just a plain old hub. With magnetic mounting. Sorry, what? Magnetic mounting? So someone can stick…

Pole-Dancer Alarm Clock Gets You Up in Every Sense of the Word

Girls with wonky boobs in Santa outfits, (it was June) my girlfriend in hysterics and me squirming with embarrassment, vowing that this was the…

USB Modular Hub from, Surprise, Brando

Yesterday, Brando chose not to release any new products. I wonder why—maybe they thought someone might not like it. It’s a four-way USB hub that also brings color to your desk. I say a pot of paint does just the same (give Brando five years and they’ll probably come up with USB paint). All this…
