Strapping a Portable Speaker to Your Bike Sounds a Bit Douche-y

Foxl’s tiny portable speaker is a solid piece of equipment, so it should follow that you might want to take it everywhere. So, SoundMatters went ahead and provided a Bike Bundle Kit to strap it to your bike. I’m just not sure you’d want to. https://gizmodo.com/foxl-portable-speaker-no-system-so-small-ever-sounded-5049045 Don’t get me wrong. The idea sounds nice on…

The Manufacturers Are Finally Standardizing 3D Glasses…Together

Big news from Panasonic, Samsung and Sony: they’re teaming-up to put a stop to this silly trend of being forced into buying expensive 3D glasses that only work with one manufacturer’s 3DTV, and will use Xpand’s glasses from next year. While it’s possible this attempt at standardizing the market will just prove xkcd’s comic correct…

This Isn’t Your Typical Time Lapse

Watching Laura Lawson painting on this time lapse video shouldn’t be anything extraordinary, but it is. The technique’s different from how you usually do these time lapses, using a cool motorized version of a contraption called the Omni-Tracker: We used a device called the Omni-Tracker HD a circular table top dolly, and helped the engineer…

Scott Adams Is Bored

Here’s pretty much all I know about Scott Adams: Sometimes he says (or does) wacky things. Most of the time he draws funny comics about a luckless office drone named Dilbert. I can relate! But not today. https://jezebel.com/dilbert-creator-deletes-misogynist-rant-5786019 Today, Adams is on the soap box again, penning his way into the public discourse with a…

A Solar Charger Fit For a Killer

Dunhill’s svelte new solar charger is certainly attractive. It looks better than most of its cousins, and can hold up to 30 hours of juice for your phone or gadget. But it is just me, or does it look vaguely like a switchblade? It also comes with a nice leather case, so you can really…

A Mouse Made for Drug Dealers

What kind of person needs a scale in their mouse? A small-time hustler, obviously. Brando’s mouse offers a kind of discrete simplicity that any drug dealer could appreciate. Selling drugs is wrong. Just wanted to get that out of the way before I said this mouse could help you get away with it. Underneath its…

The Jets’ star running back is an animal in the training room—renowned for workouts that terrify even the most hardened masochist. Among his favored devices of self-inflicted agony?

Give Your Hidden Hardware a Shot of Infrared with InjectIR

IR extenders have been around for a while now but they generally require you to run more cable through your house and stereo cabinet. The InjectIR from Sewell doesn’t—it borrows a cable that’s already there. Instead of using a single, continuous cable to transmit the IR input from the remote to your hidden devices, the…

Magnepan Creates a High End, Flat Panel Speaker that Fits on Your Desk

Audiophiles love flat panel speakers for their slim profile as much as their sound quality, but they tend to be rather large. But audio writer Steve Guttenberg has found the Magnepan Mini Maggies, a desktop-sized pair that arguably outperform larger competitors. Flat panel speakers combine a magnetic field with a ultra-thin, high-quality foil material to…

An iPhone 4 That’ll Light Your Desk

This replica looks like a ridiculously large iPhone 4, similar to the ginormous fan case we saw recently. But this knockoff Apple product isn’t for cooling, it’s for lighting your desk. Spotted in an outdoor market, this foldable desk lamp has 16 LED light bulbs and is powered, somewhat ironically, by a Nokia battery. It…

Is Samsung Laughing at LG Today as Their Korean Rivals Unveil a New High-End Passive 3DTV?

I wonder whether Samsung execs are calling LG “stupid shits” in their Korean HQ today, after LG announced its new flagship TV, the LW980S. It is, naturally, a passive 3DTV that they claim handles 1080p. After a trial of active shutter TVs, LG’s obviously persisting with passive 3DTV over the more superior 3D format which…
