McHacking: iZ IR Repeater

It’s no secret that I occasionally frequent the golden arches, but now I’ve found a more reasonable excuse to partake in the greasy goodness than long term suicide. Apparently some of their happy meal toys can make a fun weekend project if you have a screwdriver and soldering iron. https://gizmodo.com/fast-food-tech-prototype-intercom-212536 One clever father hacked the…

eStarling Hands-On Update: Buyer Beware

The eStarling digital picture frame arrived late yesterday, and here’s a warning: it’s even uglier than its unboxing pictures we’ve seen so far. Its USB dongle sticks out the top like an antenna, and the dog-ugly logo plastered across the top is not removable without marring its finish. I plugged in its AC adapter and…

Sizemodo: Visiontac VGPS-700 Tiny GPS Receiver

Although Visiontac VGPS-700 may be pretty darn small and stylish, it’s not quite the world’s smallest GPS receiver. That honor belongs to the Navicore, which just barely beats out the Visiontac in a volume competition. https://gizmodo.com/navicores-bluetooth-gps-is-the-smallest-ever-208512 Both GPS receivers use the SiRF Star III chipset, and both connect with Bluetooth to whatever devices you have…

Alarm Clock: Just Like the Movies?

In a seemingly endless parade of alarm clock innovation, here’s the next attempt, one that looks like a clapboard used in Hollywood movie productions. It’s the kind of idea, though, that started out in the right direction but somehow lost its way. The clock’s Chinese Korean creators decided this was a “moving clock for your…
