Rubik’s Cube Coffee Table Makes Your Apartment “Cool”

Personally, I’ve never been a fan of the Rubik’s Cube. That’s probably because it makes me feel like a complete moron, and I just end up peeling the stickers off and replacing them so it looks like I completed the puzzle. What can I say, I have no scruples. If you can complete the Rubik’s…

New Sanyo Projector Works From Up Close

Projectors are great and all, but how annoying is it when someone comes in the room, walks behind you, and puts a shadow of their oblivious head across the screen? Making the image travel that far across the room leaves it susceptible to all sorts of jackassy interference. Sanyo’s new LP-XL50 projector solves that problem…

Over 800 HD Channels from Comcast by 2008, But Still Nothing Will Be On TV

Aiming to one-up (or rather, eight-up) DirecTV’s promise of 100 HD channels by year’s end, Comcast is boasting that it will have over 800 HD channels by the end of 2008. If, that is, you consider an endless run of CSI episodes and a perpetual loop of Ghost Rider to each be their own channels.…

Projection Design Action! 25 is the World’s Smallest 1080p DLP…That a Good Thing?

The Projection Design Action! 25 is supposedly the world’s smallest 1080p projector, at “3.7 inches high, 9.2 inches deep and 10.8 inches wide.” Not bad for a full HD DLP rig.

iHome’s Table Radio Gives Your iPod a Retro Look

The folks at iHome went retro with their new iPod stereo. The iH10 is essentially their take on the Table Radio with a built-in iPod dock, AM/FM tuners, and a line-in jack on the backside.
