Review: iFrogz Timbre earbuds w/mic and Luxe case for iPod touch
Posted on October 20, 2009 | No Comments
Short Version:
What we've got here is a failure to communicateiFrogz's Timbre headphones w/mic and their iPod touch 2G & 3G Luxe case. In a nutshell, the Timbre headphones (which work with both the iPhone and iPod touch) provide decent audio playback, a reasonably comfortable fit (thanks to the three different ear bud choices), and the convenience of a built-in microphone for voice memos, Skype, etc albeit for the slightly higher than desirable price of $49.99. As for the Luxe, it is mediocre at best with a suspect design and very little going for it, especially considering it runs $29.99. -
The xpPhone runs Windows XP and will probably be produced
Posted on September 17, 2009 | No Comments
There is a good amount of quiet hesitation about the xpPhone around the interwebs this morning. It seems that everyone wants to believe that the xpPhone will make it to market, but it almost seems to good to be true. The specs list an unspecified AMD Super Mobile CPU powering the system and it will be configurable with a wide range of SSD and HDD options. But best of all, the company lets you select the 3G module needed for either AT&T, Vodafone, or Orange. That is, of course, assuming the xpPhone will actually be produced even though you can pre-order one today.

Flip camcorder, iPod nano video quality compared
Posted on September 13, 2009 | No CommentsThe folks over at NewTeeVee took the “Flip SD,” as they called it – no real clarification if it was the bigger Flip Ultra or smaller Flip Mino camcorder – and did a side-by-side video quality comparison against the new iPod nano. You’ll recall that during the Apple presentation last Wednesday, Jobs and company took [...] -

Heartbeats by Lady Gaga: Garish headphones for the pop star in you
Posted on September 7, 2009 | No CommentsSay what you will about Dr. Dre, but the man is a hip-hop legend. Say what you will about Lady Gaga, but she's terrible. So you can either consider the fact that “Heartbeats by Lady Gaga” was just announced as one of two things: a callous cash grab, attempting to earn (?) more money while Lady Gaga is still popular, or... no, that's the only reason these things exist.

White-Fi brings WiFi to unlicensed TV spectrum
Posted on August 28, 2009 | No Comments
The terribly named "White-Fi" is a research effort to bring WiFi transmission to the unlicensed TV spectrum -- the so-called "whitespace" (get it? White-Fi!) of TV channels in the UHF band . Big whoop, right? Well, with transmission ranges up to 1 kilometer, that actually is a pretty big deal. Mesh networking is also in the works. But most interesting of all are the requirements that the FCC has imposed on White-Fi devices to make sure they don't interfere with any television broadcasts or wireless microphones. Basically, any White-Fi device needs to immediately switch frequencies the instant it detects a signal from a television or microphone.

A Japanese company called Spec Computer is selling a cool new gadget that makes it possible for insomniacs to get behind the reason for their sleeplessness.

Nikon D3000, D300s get pictured
Posted on June 30, 2009 | No Comments
Well, well. We told you that Nikon was going to launch two DSLR cameras this summer. These two are probably them and we need to point out that Nikon is getting good "leaking" pics of unannounced cameras. The last time around, everyone and their brother knew about the D5000 before it was official. This time we're seeing the D300s - which we already know about - and the also unannounced D3000.

Posted on June 30, 2009 | No CommentsOf these two Nikon rumors, one looks almost certain to be real, and one looks like a bad fake. First, the D300s, a camera which we actually expect to see announced pretty soon. The specs and a screenshot leaked already, pointing to a video-capable upgrade to the D300 with stereo sound and an SD card [...] -

Bweedly beep de beep beep! Super Mario played on a theremin
Posted on June 15, 2009 | No Comments
Nowhereelse found a video of a young man playing Super Mario Brothers with, of all things, a theremin. By moving his hands over the rods Mario jumps, moves, and twists. Think of it as Natal but for fans of old sci-fi movies and participants in Flaming Lips mass on-stage bacchanals.
this guy made possible to play Super Mario Bros (NES) with an old Theremin instrument! Two peoples can also play together, one controls left and right and the other controls jump. It's also possible to control the game with the voice or any sounds (with a microphone).
