Xume Magnetic Lens Filters Are Brilliantly Simple

Screwing expensive things into tiny threads is tedious—especially when you’re a photographer depending on speed. So why bother screwing filters on when you can employ the mystical powers of magnets? Snap on, snap off—no more screwing, ever. The Xume system does require some labor up front: you need to install a magnetic adapter for each…

The First Ever Stupid-Fast Thunderbolt External HD Is Finally Out

I like the sound of backing up my entire hard drive in several minutes, instead several hours. With LaCie’s Little Big Disk, we might finally be able to do it: dual drives plus Thunderbolt. The Little Big Disk straps together two HDs in a RAID array (0 for extra speed, or 1 for extra data…

I Must Get This Boat Motor Blender for My Kitchen

How much power does a man need to make summer cocktails? How many Hawaiian short-sleeve shirts? How much badassery? NOT ENOUGH, I SAY!

Here’s the 7-Inch TouchPad You’ll Never Be Able to Buy

We’d heard about it half a year ago, and now here it is in the grainy, blurry flesh: HP’s 7-inch WebOS tablet that was dead before it ever left the front door. Luckily, it looks pretty mediocre! https://gizmodo.com/unconfirmed-first-look-at-the-webos-tablets-weve-been-5736839 The codenamed “Opal” TouchPad, beyond being something of a gadget James Dean, doesn’t have a whole lot…

The tiny Bose bluetooth speaker system we caught a whiff of last week went official today with a considerably less goofy name than “Chihuahua.” The Soundlink Mobile, as it’s actually called, is a portable Bluetooth speaker in an AirPlay world, but it looks like it might be pretty good anyway. https://gizmodo.com/the-bose-chihuahua-is-supposed-to-be-a-super-small-spea-5838695 It’s also got an…

If You Can’t Follow the Conversation on a Jabra Supreme, You Might Want to Get Your Hearing Checked

Active Noise Cancellation technology is a wonderful thing—assuming you could afford the high-end stereo headphones they’re normally found on. But now, that same crystal-clear sound is coming to Bluetooth headsets with the Jabra Supreme. Active Noise Cancellation counteracts an incoming sound wave with a phase-inverted version of itself to create an interference wave, thereby mitigating…

iTwin Is an Invisible Cable to Connect Your Computers

Cables are terrible, but we’re not quiiiite to the point where we can just snap our fingers and make everything wireless. The iTwin seems like a legitimately cool stopgap between the two.
