    Back in October, John reviewed Dyson's original "air multiplier" (can you say fan?) and while he liked it, the pricing was a bit extreme for a something that blew air around a room. That being said, Dyson has come out with new line of "air multipliers" and this time they've added a few new tricks to the line.

    HTC threatens handset hackers with legal action for distributing ROMs

    Leaks happen — especially in the mobile world. There are just too many people involved in the process of creating a mobile device to keep things under wraps. Take any given new phone’s OS installation package (known as its “ROM”), for example; when something is as easily copied and distributed as any other piece of [...]

    A concept ambidextrous mouse, for your perusal

    Posted on May 24, 2010 | No Comments
    Do you like computer mice? Do you like ambidexterity? Do you like looking at renderings of concept products that are not yet real? Today, my friend, is your lucky day. Gaze upon the Nink wireless optical mouse. Imagine the feel of that corrugated shell under either your right or your left palm. Visualize the sensation of using either index finger to tenderly scroll that wheel up and down, up and down. You can almost feel the mild resistance as the Nink lovingly caresses your desk, gliding back and forth at your slightest bidding...

    Buy Pepper’s swinging desk sculpture from ThinkGeek

    ThinkGeek is just awesome. Apparently the staff screened Iron Man 2 with the goal of seeking out cool gadgets they can offer geeks like us. Well they managed to find Pepper Potts’ swinging desk thing. I’m sure it will probably end up annoying you as much as it did Tony Stark but it’s still awesome. [...]

    A photo gallery of the tiny 16GB Lexar Echo ZE flash drive with 12 household items

    The FedEx man just dropped off the new Lexar 16GB Echo ZE Backup Drive. This thing is tiny. Like I knew it was small judging by the press photos when it was announced back at CES, but I had no idea it was this small. You need to see this thing to scale to really appreciate it and so I snapped a few pictures with random items around my desk. Click through for the photo gallery. You have to see this thing. Full review coming soon.

    Fun fact: I'm typing this post on the black Microsoft Arc keyboard! I just bought the black version from Best Buy and like it good enough. But maybe black isn't your thing. Or you gave up shopping at Best Buy which was previously the Arc keyboard's exclusive retailer. Well then, I have good news, friends. Amazon will soon offer the Arc keyboard in a white and lime.

Spied on the trade show floor at SXSW Interactive 2010, it is part of my post trip download. Certainly, the goal of the Mojito is to free you [...]

    How much are you willing to spend on a so-called portable gaming headset? $50? $100? How about $150? Anyone? What if I told you that it would also work with your computer as well as your iPhone, PSP, and Xbox Live account? Still no one? Yeah, that's what I thought.

    Surround sound bars are generally about the width of a 42-inch flat panel, which is perfect if you have a large TV. But Asus now has a solution for smaller sets and computers with the Cine5 PC speaker that claims to accurately recreate the surround sound experience in a lot smaller package.

    The wording in the headline may not be, you know, exactly what HTC said – but it might as well be. After the folks over at Crave UK woke up to a broken screen — which they swear isn’t their fault, as the device had just been sitting on a desk charging — full [...]
