Two New Samsung Robot Vacuums: VC-RS60, VC-RS60H
Samsung has added two new robot vacuums to their lineup in Korea, the Zairo-designed (who?) VC-RS60 and VC-RS60H. Although the robots self-recharge like good robots do, they also can be called up when you’re out and told to clean up the place. Having had two Roombas crap out on me in the last few weeks—one…
Magnetic Floating Bed: Oh. Your. God.
Every so often, we like to take a look at things whose functionality isn’t measured in gigabytes or megabangs, but instead just look amazing. This magnetic floating bed, I submit, may be among the coolest things we’ve ever covered.

HAVA Video Streamer, Better Than Slingbox?
By now everyone’s heard of (and is using?) the Slingbox, which takes your home’s TV signal and retransmits it to another device, such as your laptop, when you’re on the road or just in another room. This idea of “place shifting” has really caught on, at least with the tech savvy crowd, as a means…

Citibank Releases RFID Credit Cards
People who claim RFID marks the end of the world should probably step aside for a moment now that Citibank is starting to release credit cards that use the radio technology. The MasterCard PayPass looks like a ordinary keychain, but the embedded RFID chip replaces the traditional magnetic strip found on regular credit cards. Once…
i-Station T43 PMP From Digital Cube
Thank heavens, another portable media player for us to pick apart. The successor to last year’s V43, the T43 is a PMP that does what all good PMPs do: play your torrented videos and MP3s without making too much of a fuss. For the most part, it’s pretty similar to last year’s V43, but when…
Explay Nano Projector: It Works!
Explay, not to be confused with a certain TV show that has seen quite a drop in quality in recent months, has successfully tested their nano-projector engine, a method of safely projecting “always focused” images from mobile devices, such as cellphones and portable media players.
