What the nonsense is this all about. Word around the blogosphere is that this amp that costs a measly $30 can outperforms amps that cost upwards of $300 dollars. It seems people are swearing by this amp, and with such a cheap price you can’t really go wrong. With all of the raves and reviews…
I am a man’s man. Nothing hurts me. I am pretty much invincible, except when my kitty scratches me. The worse thing is going to the construction site (work as I call it) and getting ridiculed by all of the other guys, and even the women for wearing a daffy duck band aid. This is…
Pretty aged, but this is the first time we’ve seen it. The initially alarming visual generated by the phrase “vibrating condom” is nothing compared to this image. Looking like something straight outta Naked Lunch, the VIBERING wraps around the base of Mr. Johnson, runs on a battery and vibrates, all of which sounds distracting rather…
So Griffin, maker of all things iPod, busted out their Smartdeck cassette adaptor for the iPod today. I was about 3 seconds away from screaming at how dumb it was till I actually read the words instead of looking at the pretty pictures. The Smartdeck allows for total control of the iPod through the cassette…
This is a nifty idea Matsushita (manufacturer of Panasonic) has come up with. And if it’s for real, I’m really psyched to see it in action. Seems the Japanese-based company is developing a technology that will let you use a household plug to connect to broadband Internet. Goodbye networking hassles, hello electric socket. Basically, the…
This is some pretty epic news for the photogs. The Leica D-Lux 2 features handfuls of unique features that aren t so common to the average handheld digital camera. First thing first, this camera is supported in the latest version of Adobe Camera Raw. The other rumors are stating that this camera will feature at…
Ah, the quibbling of media giants. Sort of fun to watch. And now the Blu-Ray backers have fired back at Microsoft and Intel for the reasons the companies gave earlier this week for backing HD DVD. From capacity to managed copy support, the Blu-Ray Disc Association group has said that there have been inaccuracies on…
Gawker Media is looking to fill the following tech-related position: Linux Network/Systems Administrator— TCP/IP, DNS, IP tables, 2.6.x, SMTP, Apache, PHP, Tomcat, Java, PERL, *sh shell scripting, NFS, RPM… Did your head just about explode with glee reading this? Are five 9s not an objective but a baseline? You might be just the person we…
I love this product. Been waiting for it all year. And now, sniffle it looks like my wait will be even longer. I saw the Nokia 770 Internet Tablet at early spring’s CEDIA in New Orleans and was told the 770 would be released by Q3 this year. Bud sadly, it looks like Q4 is…
As we mentioned back in June, Taiwanese computer company AOpen has finally scheduled its release of two Mac Mini look-alike computers (just two-inches tall), code-named Pandora, in time for the holiday season. The Linux-based version should go for $399 and the Windows XP-based computer will retail for $499. Both include slot-load CD drive, three USB…
Today’s DAP headlines: Moving pictures are cool. Especially when there’s a device playing movies encapsulated within them. Confused? Just take a look at the this movie on Cowon’s A2. Meanwhile, in Taiwan, DAP manufacturers have woken up to the sound of doom machines approaching. iRiver, BenQ and MSI are slashing suggested retail prices for their…
Just got this image of the Sony Ericsson Hermione aka the P910i or whatever they want to call it, in all of her glory. Although there is limited space under the screen, the keypad has all the standard keys including shift, spacebar and alt. The 3 keys at the right most looks like some sort…
Oh I see, make more expensive computers and plasma TVs for the rich people and stop free home delivery of low-end computers to poor people. Thanks Michael Dell, you’re a pal. After missing analysts’ revenue-growth forecasts last quarter, it seems constant price-cutting has finally caught up with Dell and this is the company’s way of…
Oh Palm, what happened? Pull yourself together, man! Listen to this: it looks like the company has put their eggs in the X-Pro P368 basket, a clamshell handset that operates on its 5.4 OS. Right now only for the Chinese market, the P368 has a 1.3 megapixel camera with flash and is powered by an…
Renova is releasing an all black toilet paper. I have pretty much spent the entire day pondering this concept, dreaming and wondering what kind of advantage using black would have on me and my posterior end. Well after finally reading the Renova press release I have unfortunately come to find out that this toilet paper…
For $1100 this GPS better be able to make me a hot toddy while navigating me through the streets of Bangkok. This is Magellan’s new RoadMate 800. It has an integrated hard drive and includes an MP3 player and a photo viewer. The purpose of the hard drive is to primarily hold the massive amounts…
More exciting than the jump up in their digital camera lineup may be Kodak’s hot little portable Photo Printer 500 that’s compatible with just about every digital media card out there-and Wi-Fi and Bluetooth. The smaller than a breadbox (how big is a breadbox, anyway? Let’s say smaller than an Aquaman lunchbox) printer has slots…
Sure, it’s a PocketPC with integrated GPS reception, which is pretty hot, but does anyone really want to pay $450 for a product like this without a VGA screen or WiFi? I think not. Garmin, time to get your head in the game and license your GPS tech out to companies that know how to…
Raise your hand if this describes you: Bah, you say to the cheap turntables in the desert. You’re a serious DJ, and you want a high-torque deck you can scratch on. You want it controlling a custom Max/MSP software patch for sound generation. And you want it in a tree trunk form factor, because there’s…
The MPAA is kind of like that kid you used to beat up in school. You lift his jacket up over his head and he starts flailing and trying to hit everybody around him and then he falls down and cries. You can basically keep doing that until you get a detention, but it’s SO…
