My Humps, My Humps, My Lovely iPod Bumps

We’re not much for iPod cases around here—why get a cool looking player just to hide it—but this iBumps seems like a pretty good idea. Instead of covering up the entire face, these four bumps raise up the player to prevent scratches on a flat surface. Not only that, they’re non-slip, so you can place…

LG Shine Makes its Video Debut

The girls at Shiny Shiny are still pink in the face after a quick rendezvous with LG’s sexy, silvery Shine. Despite the phone’s smudge-able looks, they found the Shine to be pretty resistant to fingerprints and scratches. The phone’s spinning scroll wheel, located on its midriff, is also intuitive despite suffering from a bit of…

Tech Journo Trivia: David Pogue the Elton John of Gadgets

I was surprised when NYT’s tech journo David Pogue’s most recent blog post was written as a song Hazing to the RIAA. His lead claimed that he had a music past as a Broadway conductor and arranger, which a little emailing and googling confirmed. These days, its rare to find opinions from Pogue that differ…

The “i” in iTunes Doesn’t Stand for “International”

Paul Collins has a great piece detailing the restrictions blocking users from buying tracks on iTunes across national lines. For instance, if you switch your country setting to Japan looking to score some Japan X or Gackt tracks, your US credit card tags you as “illegal,” barring your entry into international digital cosmopolitanism. Of course,…

Hamster Wheel ‘O Death Gauges Your Rodent’s Speediness

Ever wonder how fast your hamster runs when he’s spinning ’round stupidly on his wheel? Well, apparently someone on YouTube did and they attached a speedometer to their furry friend’s wheel to find out just how fast their four-legged pet could sprint. The little fella gets the speed count pretty high before the wheel gets…

When Should You Upgrade To Vista? When Vista SP1 Is Released During 2nd Half of 07

For business, cautious, or cautious business users, upgrading their OS is nothing to be done on a Thursday night after work and forgotten about.

LG FM37, FM33 and DMB T50: Portable Media With European Flair (?)

The decidedly derivative portable media player market can embrace with open arms the latest entries from LG, the FM37 (tops out at 4GB, $320), FM33 (4GB, $255) and DMB T50 (2GB, $265). As expected, the players are, to use a tired phrase, more evolution than revolution: all models are flash-based and have just barely watchable-sized…
