WiMax Competitor LTE Runs Wii Online Multiplayer So Fast It Seems Local

WiMax isn’t the only the live 4G game in town. Alcatel-Lucent is running an arguably much sexier demo of LTE (long-term evolution), the high-speed 4G network that Verizon and AT&T are going to deploy. Besides streaming video to a wall of TVs with over 100Mbps of throughput, they have two Wiis hooked up, one on…

Marumi Macro Ring Light for Point & Shoot Digital Cameras Makes Your Face More Attractive

The flash on most point and shoot cameras is harsh and makes your subjects look horrible. It’s fine if you’re just taking a night shot of your buddies in a bar, but when you want slightly higher quality shots for your eBay photos or your “personal collection,” you need something like this Marumi Ring Light…

Tooth Regeneration Tech Could Make Fillings Obsolete

Scientists are hard at work on making teeth regrow the crystals that make up dentin and enamel, allowing them to phase out fillings and drillings completely. The goal is to spot tooth decay early and then get the teeth to grow healthy tooth-matter over the bad spots. No fuss, no muss. They say that the…

The Hilarity of the Farting Clock Will Never, Ever Get Old

This is the “Who Did It?” clock. Every hour that there’s light, on the hour, it farts. When the lights are out it’ll refrain from waking you up with flatulence, leaving that to you and/or your bedmate. I’d say that this is a great way to see exactly how long you’ll find farts funny, but…

USB Hub With Magnetic Mount Sounds Like a Bad Idea

So at first glance what we have here looks like a well designed four-port USB hub, with a handy top-placed port for convenient thumb-drive plugging. It’s not multicolored, it doesn’t have a photo frame built in, it doesn’t transform. Just a plain old hub. With magnetic mounting. Sorry, what? Magnetic mounting? So someone can stick…

Walking Bike, Perfect Use For Old Keds, Jordans

We’re not going to oversell this one. It’s a bike. And it’s had the wheels replaced by spokes tipped with shoes. In other words, it’s quite possible the greatest invention ever. Ad Dugdale celebrates that there’s finally a bike to give the Bitchcruiser a proper ass-kicking. We celebrate the sweet, awkward video of someone riding…

Pole-Dancer Alarm Clock Gets You Up in Every Sense of the Word

N.E.R.D. may get their lapdances for free, but I don’t know about ordinary people. I do know, however, that my lapdancing run-in in Vegas several years ago was a never-to-be-repeated experience. Girls with wonky boobs in Santa outfits, (it was June) my girlfriend in hysterics and me squirming with embarrassment, vowing that this was the…

USB Modular Hub from, Surprise, Brando

Yesterday, Brando chose not to release any new products. I wonder why—maybe they thought someone might not like it. It’s a four-way USB hub that also brings color to your desk. I say a pot of paint does just the same (give Brando five years and they’ll probably come up with USB paint). All this…

Samsung Unveils…Second Life

Since it’s April 2nd, we guess this news is legit. Samsung has announced that they’ve developed a Second Life client for their mobile phones, allowing their users to jack…in anywhere in the world. And while at least a little technically impressive, we’re wondering what drove Samsung to support a game that’s been noted to have…

Range Kitchen Concept, for Mobile Cooking at Home

Ok, tackling the standard kitchen design for improved eco-friendliness or chicness makes sense, but for portability, like this Whirlpool Range concept? Nope… don’t see it. I mean designer Weston Boege has made it look all very nice, with those curvaceous lines and wooden accents. And his design squeezes in a small oven and stove-top gas…

IdeaPad U8 from Lenovo Has Intel’s Atom, GPS, EDGE

This is the IdeaPad U8 from Lenovo. With Intel’s Atom chip inside it, the Mobile Internet Device has an optical mouse to let you fiddle one-handed, supports 3G and EDGE, has GPS, a 4.8-inch touchscreen, a Paul Smith-esque striped back (hope that stays) and an annoying ambient bongo player (either that goes or I do.)…

Sprint Xohm WiMax Test Drive: Just Like Cable

Sprint’s got a bunch of devices huddled in a booth running off its Xohm WiMax network: some Nokia N810 tablets and a smattering of notebooks from different makers (like a Windows XP Asus Eee PC, but it was acting a bit wonky, so I had to move on to a more generic laptop). Basically, the…
