Little clip-on MP3 player looks familiar, costs $12 today only
Posted on October 12, 2009 | No Comments
I’ve been shuffling all these memories through my brain, trying to figure out where I’ve seen this MP3 player before. Shuffle though I may, I can’t seem to shuffle the correct memory back into place despite some pretty intense shuffling.

Virtual Mirror: augmented reality without glasses
Posted on October 8, 2009 | No Comments
The Fraunhofer Heinrich Hertz Institute -- the same Fraunhofer that holds many of the patents on MP3 -- have a booth at CEATEC exhibiting some of their research efforts, shopping them around for potential licensees. Their Virtual Mirror display is, I think, a great example of augmented reality done right. It uses a camera, a display, and their special software to dynamically alter the image projected back to the viewer. Video inside!

Verizon announces the Razzle, endless puns ensue
Posted on September 30, 2009 | No Comments
When we first got word that Verizon would be announcing the Razzle today, a handful of potential posts popped into our brain almost instantly. Thing is, when it comes that easy for us, it came that easy for everyone else, too.

Android-powered Motorola Sholes clears the FCC
Posted on September 28, 2009 | No CommentsAh – there we are. Just as the long rumored Motorola Sholes started to slip off the radar after failing to make an appearance at Motorola’s big (read: somewhat underwhelming) Android announcement earlier this month, it has moseyed its way right through the FCC. Now that the FCC has verified that the Sholes wont melt your [...] -
Interview: A conversation with Larry Halff about the relaunch of Ma.gnolia
Posted on September 21, 2009 | No CommentsMany of you may remember Ma.gnolia—the nifty social bookmarking tool that unfortunately imploded at the beginning of this year. Founded by Larry Halff almost 4 years ago, the site had a different aesthetic and attitude toward sharing information. It was one of the more community-minded tools I remember from that era, offering features like the [...] -
First impressions of the Jabra Halo Bluetooth stereo headset
Posted on September 11, 2009 | No CommentsLet me just say that the Jabra Halo is the most comfortable set of headphones I have ever used. They just rest on your head and pipe music directly into your brain without straining your ears or head at all. But yet they don’t feel like they would fall off under normal usage. I wouldn’t [...] -
Yup, they’re developing a telepathy chip all right
Posted on September 5, 2009 | No CommentsHow did I miss this?! Apparently the Brits are developing some sort of telepathy chip that will give the user the ability to do crazy X-Men stuff, like turn lights on and off with the power of thought. (It actually just dawned on me that, had CrunchGear been around in the 1800s, we would have been floored at the idea of electric light, and called blasphemers for bringing up telepathy.)

Crazy but real: Device lets blind people see using their tongue
Posted on September 1, 2009 | No CommentsInvention of the year? Quite possibly! It's the BrainPort, and it, in effect, gives blind people the ability to see by using the nerve endings on their tongue. It sounds weird, yes.

Remember those wicked RE: The Darkside Chronicle Zombie tees that Capcom was giving away at Comic-Con earlier this year? We didn’t make it to San Diego either. But because we kick ass, the fine folks at Capcom have hooked us up with five zombie tees to give away.

I have no idea what's going on here and if this even a Bluetooth device but either Keith Richards has brain melded with a Speak'n'Spell or he's entered a level of tomdouchery unknown by mere mortals.

Hands-on: The Bose QuietComfort 15
Posted on August 19, 2009 | No CommentsI just got back from one of Bose’s signature demos where they trick you into seeing their products in a whole new light. It’s clever and it sometimes works. The trick went down like this: they showed us the QuietComfort 2 headphones, the older model, and ran about 92 decibels of airplane noise in a [...] -
HOLY CATS! IT’S A SHELF FOR STUFF BEHIND YOUR APPLE COMPUTER!
Posted on August 11, 2009 | No Comments
Sweet jumping Jehosaphat on a carbon rod! LOOK AT THIS! It's a shelf! That holds stuff! Behind your Apple monitor! It costs $29.95 and it is so amazing I had to look at this image twice just to remind myself of the feeling of fear and awe I felt when I saw this the first time. This thing "uses two adjustable clips and gravity to literally perch on the desk stand of iMacs and Cinema Displays." LITERALLY PERCH! Unless my brain deceives me - and it has - this concept is so new it's not even patented yet.

Retro-Electro Digital-Analog Ruler
Posted on July 6, 2009 | No CommentsShay Shafranek’s electronic ruler is a concept design with a difference. Instead of a boring mockup that only exists inside a computer’s brain, the ruler is a real, working model which lives in meatspace. The wooden stick is unmarked and instead has an LED readout which glows through the top layer of a multi-ply construction, [...]
