Coby Electronics set to unveil 3D-Audio Sound Bar at CES

, Dec 30th 2009 Discuss [0]

I like surround sound as much as the next home theater fan, but the shape of my living room makes it pretty much impossible to have speakers in the back of the room without having them installed in the ceiling. The ceiling isn’t a great option either since my house is two story. That leaves me with a 2.1 setup that isn't exactly what I want. Read The Full Story

NewerTech unveils iPhone 3G/3GS window mount

, Dec 30th 2009 Discuss [0]

The first time I used my iPhone 3GS as a navigation device in my car a few problems were quickly an issue. First, there is nowhere to place the iPhone in my car where it is easy to see. Another problem was that the battery doesn't last long and then the volume from the speaker is too low to hear spoken directions well. Read The Full Story

New earbuds from Solid Alliance

, Dec 29th 2009 Discuss [0]

Earbuds have become so boring these days. Sure everybody makes some kind of fruity colored or interestingly textured bud. But those just dont really do it for me.  I would much walk around wearing a pair of Solid Alliances new headphones. Which feature every thing from an apple with arrow through it to mushrooms straight out of a Mario Bros.  If you are feeling especially fun they even have some earbuds with little samurai swords. When I say new I mean designs, they have done this once before. With the same awesome results. Like really, who wouldn't want to cruise around town with a  Frankenstein esque bolt sticking out of their ear? Read The Full Story

Which is in the same range as a real hummingbird! Read The Full Story

Cruden Hexatech – The ultimate race car simulator

, Dec 29th 2009 Discuss [0]

I like so many other children had dreams of becoming a race car driver. Of course I was forced to abandon my dreams of Mille Miglia and go to college.  About the closest I come to racing is being stuck in traffic and making race car noises with my mouth. All that can change for the low low price of $191,000. Wait what? Read The Full Story
