Optimus Prime USB Hub Speaks but Won’t Stomp Across Your Desk

“I laugh in the face of your so-called transforming USB hub!” says the four-way Optimus Prime USB Hub, “because I, Optimus Prime, am a Transformers USB hub that… um… doesn’t transform. Oh.” What the 9-inch Autobot bust actually does do is flash its eye lights and shout out when you connect something to it. And…

Zlotoff that a MacGyver blockbuster was in the works was a pretty sweet surprise, we followed up by asking him perhaps the most pressing MacGyver question of all: Would a modern day MacGyver still use a Swiss Army knife?

The Peterson BB-1 BodyBeat attaches to your finger/random appendage, sending tiny rhythmic pulses that you can feel on your skin.

Here’s a snagged screen pointing to video recording and playback coming to the Sidekick LX in a future update. Nothing definitive on which codecs will be supported, but possibly H.264, which YouTube encodes videos in for Apple, meaning you might be able to watch YouTube videos.

Army Plans Swarms of Military Bug-Robots, Bringing Sci-Fi to Life

The rather beautiful looks of the robot in this image hide the fact that in reality it would be part of a swarm of military bots designed to creep into caves, bunkers and other hostile areas to grab intel on the baddies hiding within. Yes: it sounds like Minority Report, Dr Who and Robot Wars…

Leaked Photos of Motorola ZN5 Suggest Kodak Camera Partnership

More photos have emerged of Motorola’s upcoming ZN5, and apparently suggest that the 5-megapixel camera is in fact a Kodak-built unit.

Ultraportables or netbooks as Intel is wont to call them, are officially a dime a dozen now, but an upcoming model, the IL1 from CTL (who’s making the Classmate 2) looks like it might shake up the market, at least a bit, if being the cheapest thing around is the bottom line. A 1GHz Via…
