, Oct 14th 2010 Discuss [0]

I have long through that the person who designed the packaging that many gadgets and electronic devices come in is a sick and twisted person. They are as bad as the people that come up with the 100 zip ties to keep a small child's toy in the box method of displaying a product. Zibra is officially reintroducing its magic tool of less frustration called the Open It. Read The Full Story

The last time I travelled, there was a couple standing at the check in desk arguing over what they were going to toss from their bag to avoid the extra fees for overweight luggage. They could have avoided all of that wasted time and embarrassment as people stood there watching them fight over trinkets picked up on tier trip by weighing their bag ahead of time.

A company from the UK called Protect your Bubble commissioned a survey about kids and technology that looked at kids from 3 to 10 years old to see what they could do in relation to tech. According to the survey results, many of the kids were more proficient with tech than they were with reading and writing. I can certainly see this as accurate in many cases. My son was using a computer alone by three to play a game called Reader Rabbit. Read The Full Story

Universal Translator is More Science-Fiction Than Reality

, Aug 20th 2010 Discuss [1]

In most situations, when you look at a design concept, you're supposed to get the sense that some day, at some point in the (perhaps distant) future, you'll be able to get your hands on this. Just like we saw with Sony's design for their Eclipse media management device. This one, though. Well, we can safely say that it's really a concept. Not that it's not cool -- because it's a great idea, but we're just wondering if the designer had one too many drinks while they were watching their favorite Sci-Fi flick. Read The Full Story

, Jul 29th 2010 Discuss [0]

This is part 2 of my column on gadgets that changed the world for me. These aren’t necessarily gadgets that changed the world, not even the gadget world. But they all had a profound impact on my life, and were more important to me than simple technological tools or joyous little toys.

, Jul 20th 2010 Discuss [0]

When you get married, you want everything to be special for you and your partner. And while the dress may be unique, the wedding itself may be just like someone else's in the past. Especially when it comes to rings. For the most part, there seem to be only so many different variations you can have out there, unless you start thinking outside of the box, that is. For one man, he definitely thought out of the box, and managed to design a ring that's probably one of the coolest little gadgets we've seen in a long time. Read The Full Story

Five gadgets that changed the world for me

, Jul 20th 2010 Discuss [5]

From time to time I like to think about the idea of disconnecting from the digital world for an extended period and what I’d miss as a result. In the end, I came up with five gadgets that changed the world for me, products the descendents of which I’d rather not be without on a regular basis. What’s interesting is that for me, the PC didn’t make the list. Perhaps it’s an uber-gadget that just goes without saying or it’s just not that important to me personally anymore.

Concept Wall-Mounted Washing Machine Probably Too Good to be True

, Jul 19th 2010 Discuss [0]

This is probably one of those concepts that, unfortunately, won't ever make it past the concept stage. As big, bulky, and loud as our current generation of washing machines are (even if some of them are remarkably quiet, you get the point), seeing something as super thin, and lightweight enough to hang on a wall is pretty cool in of itself. Of course, there's a few questions that have to be asked when seeing something like this, and unfortunately considering the conceptual nature of the idea at this point, those answers probably just don't exist right now.
