It seemed like a good idea – the USB tape dispenser

, Feb 20th 2007 Discuss [0]

Everyone needs extra USB ports, right? I know that I'm always searching for a free port, and though many companies have great USB hubs, I just really don't need anything extra on my desk. Well, I've found a new hub that combines something that is commonly found on desks. Read The Full Story

A nap-friendly alarm clock

, Feb 20th 2007 Discuss [0]

I've found that even though I still have much of my youth left, there's never enough time to sleep. So I tend to take naps. The biggest pain is that I have to reset my alarm before and after my nap. If I forget, I oversleep, and that's never good. Read The Full Story

Hope you didn’t want a bagel

, Feb 20th 2007 Discuss [0]

It would seem that lately people are putting more thought into the simple appliances such as the toaster. Which, I find very cool because I believe it’s good to question how we do even the little things. Read The Full Story

Help me Obi-Wan Kenobi, you’re my only hope

The Sub-Spacial Communication Pod sounds like something out of a bad sci-fi movie. In reality, it looks more like something out of my favorite sci-fi movie. Read The Full Story

FlexibleLove – seating for 1 to 16

, Feb 20th 2007 Discuss [3]

The name FlexibleLove doesn't exactly bring to mind pictures of a unique bench that can expand and contract. Though according to My Virtual Zone the name is derived from 'flexible love-seat'. That makes more sense. Read The Full Story

SlashGear Review: Yume Neko Smile, Sega Toys’ robot cat

, Feb 20th 2007 Discuss [9]

Last October I pledged to make it my life’s work to acquire Sega Toys’ adorable Yume Neko Smile, a robot cat that momentarily seized the blogosphere with its lifelike movements and blinking eyes. True to my post, I emailed Sega and begged/cajoled/threatened them, sadly never to receive a reply.

Cingular’s BlackBerry 8800 unboxed, on sale now

, Feb 19th 2007 Discuss [0]

If fingers could talk, then a) we'd be living in some hideous Cronenberg world with misplaced mouths and unending horror round every corner, and b) The Boy Genius' digits would have a book deal by now.  As it is, they have to tell their story via exclusive photos and articles, such as this unboxing of Cingular's BlackBerry 8800.   Read The Full Story
