Skullcandy Mix Master over-ear headphones hands-on

Chris Burns, Jan 14th 2012 Discuss [4]

We decided to go on a bit of a headphones and tiny speakers spree in the last couple of days at CES 2012, ending up all over the place for sound quality and notoriety in the industry, finding such odd gems as this: The Mix Master over-ear headphones by Skullcandy. While you can pick these up in a shiny black version, we went straight for the wildest color scheme we could find, the specs the same no matter which colorway you decide on. These phones hold the special distinction of having Propriety Mylar Drivers approved by none other than Mix Master Mike himself. Read The Full Story

Ultima Online creator runs his studio remotely with a robot named Mini-Me

Chris Burns, Oct 28th 2011 Discuss [4]

If there was one day this month that I would call the oddest for news, it would be today, ladies and gentlemen, and the show goes on with a robot that takes the place of Ultima creator Richard Garriot at his downtown Austin game development company Portalarium. If you've seen the show Big Bang Theory or are familiar with the Qbo open-source robot (with Android) you know that the idea for having a robot surrogate doing all your daily activities for you isn't a brand new idea. Indeed it wasn't even Garriot who made the robot in question here, he's simply using it. Instead its the combination of the fact that the creator of one of the most famous online multiplayer games has a robot doing his bidding and the fact that he once had it represent his mother at his own wedding.

Synology DiskStation DS211 Review

Ewdison Then, Nov 19th 2010 Discuss [7]

The Synology DiskStation DS211 isn’t the company’s first NAS to cross the SlashGear test bench, but it’s perhaps the most home-user focused model so far. A two-bay network-attached backup box, the DS211 also throws in DLNA media streaming duties and cross-platform compatibility. With a diskless retail price of around $320, is this the box you should be entrusting your data security to? Check out the full SlashGear review after the cut.

Drobo S v.2 adds USB 3.0 support; DroboPro FS gets offsite Drobo Sync

Chris Davies, Nov 16th 2010 Discuss [0]

Data Robotics has updated its Drobo S backup system, with Drobo S v.2 adding USB 3.0 support for high-speed external drives. As we reviewed back in April, the Drobo S has two FireWire ports and an eSATA connection, along with five 3.5-inch SATA I/II drive bays and the company's BeyondRAID data protection system; the second-gen version keeps all that, but throws in USB 3.0.

World’s Fastest Scooter Aims for Guinness Book of World Records

Evan Selleck, Oct 14th 2010 Discuss [1]

The mobility scooters out there are pretty cool in their own right. What would make them better, though, is if they could go faster. For one Colin Furze, a British plumber, he must have had the same idea, because he decided to build the world's fastest scooter "for a laugh." The result has lead to incredible speeds for a scooter, and now a shot at the Guinness Book of World Records. Read The Full Story

HydroBOB Puts the Scooter Underwater [Video]

Evan Selleck, Oct 14th 2010 Discuss [1]

For those with no diving experience, or who don't know how to swim, Andrew Sneath has created an underwater vehicle just for you. Offering a controlled environment, and the ability to breathe regularly thanks to a bubble around the rider's head, the HydroBOB underwater scooter is perhaps not the most graceful device to ever descend beneath the waves, but it does look like a somewhat safe method to experience the joys of being underwater.

iPod, iPhone, and iPad turned into walking robots

Today is officially the day of freakin' awesome DIY stuff. I really like this one considering it wraps three things I really like - gadgets, robots, and awesome - into one package. PachimonDotCom has taken the iPad, iPod nano, and the iPhone 4 and turned them into walking robots. Read The Full Story

Drobo FS gets benchmarked

Chris Davies, Jun 4th 2010 Discuss [2]

The Drobo FS "File Server" came as a welcome surprise to network-loving users wanting to share the Drobo magic with multiple computers, but just how well does it perform? New owner Timon Royer wasn't content with Data Robotics' own "30-40MB/s" figures, and so he benchmarked the compact NAS/server himself. He found that, while the Drobo FS does perform better than a second-gen Drobo, it's still not the NAS to get if you're looking for outright speed. Read The Full Story

Drobo FS “File Server” is NAS version of Drobo S [Video]

Chris Davies, Apr 6th 2010 Discuss [0]

Only yesterday we were singing the praises of the Data Robotics Drobo S, perfect if you need local, redundant storage for your workstation, and today the company have outed their NAS version. The Drobo FS - or "Drobo File Server" - takes the Drobo S and swaps that model's USB/eSATA/FireWire for an gigabit ethernet port on the back, meaning you can share files protected using its BeyondRAID system across your network.
