    Picture this: You walk into a job interview well dressed sporting these cuff links. The interviewer will likely ask for your resume first thing. So *BAM* you whip your wrist around front and just like James Bond, pull apart your cuff links revealing the hidden flash drive loaded with your resume and funny pictures of cute kitties. It's a sure fire way to land any job -- or lady.

  • Viper SmartStart now lets you start your car from your BlackBerry, too

    Viper SmartStart now lets you start your car from your BlackBerry, too

    Posted on March 2, 2010 | No Comments
    A few months back, Directed Electronics launched an iPhone app that, when paired with Viper remote start system, would allow you to start your car from just about anywhere on earth. For the bargain price of just $500, you'd never again have to worry about your car being too hot, too cold, or too not on when you got in. Alas, not everyone has an iPhone - what about the remaining chunk of the world that wants to look like James Bond and/or scare people? Today, Direct Electronics is letting another big group of people in on the slightly-extraneous fun with the release of Viper SmartStart for BlackBerry.

  • Chevy Volt to get iPhone, BlackBerry apps

    Chevy Volt to get iPhone, BlackBerry apps

    They may not let you actually drive the car James Bond-style, but it looks like there will be some apps for the iPhone and BlackBerry launching alongside the Chevy Volt, with apps for other devices apparently also a possibility. That word comes from Chevrolet's soon-to-be-retiring VP Brent Dewar, who unfortunately had little to say about the apps themselves, but did briefly flash the above slide during a presentation at the LA Auto Show last week. The apps will apparently let you control when the car charges, however, and even include integrated real-time features from OnStar, which should include things like electricity rates from utility companies by the time the Volt rolls out.

    [Thanks, Dave]

    GM has a lot riding on the Chevy Volt. It’s not the vehicle that will save the company from failure, (the Chevy Cruze will do that) but it’s huge PR halo car. It will be the car that draws everyone’s attention back to the auto maker and having the car work with a flashy iPhone [...]

    Music is forever changed: Sony Ericsson’s MH907 headphones sense when they’re in use

    We (well, I) completely forgot about the BIG Sony Ericsson announcement that went down yesterday. It may have to do with the fact that nobody e-mailed us (well, me) about it, and that the FCC announced its Net Neutrality deal. Be that as it may, we now know, definitively, what Sony Ericsson was on about last week: yes, it's a pair of headphones that sense when they're in use. People are dancing in the streets already.

    Through the magic of video trickery, please observe your favorite James Bond actor playing against all the other ones you don’t like. As a bonus, seeing as though Hollywood is officially out of new movie ideas, be sure to keep a lookout for this to turn into an actual feature film called “Double-O Double Down” [...]

    The TG01 has arrived, folks. The swoon-worthy 1Ghz Snapdragon processor is now flying free in the UK and Japan, decoding 720p video without even breaking a sweat. As with any landmark handset release, it was only a matter of time before someone stripped this thing of its box and took pics along the way. Slashgear managed [...]

    Wahl Reboots Male Grooming with Li-Ion Trimmer

    The batteries in electric shavers suck. Charge-times are better measured as large fractions of days than as hours, you can’t use them while they are charging and, even when full, they don’t last long. Wahl’s new trimmer tries to fix this, and Wahl is so proud of the battery technology that it has put it in [...]
