Spark Universe Co. Ltd. cp-11s PMP

James Allan Brady, Feb 1st 2008 Discuss [0]

Its nearly a UMPC except it seems to be lacking a keyboard and its only running WinCE 5.0, not XP like it appears. It runs WinCE with 64MB of RAM and still offers up WiFi, MSN Messenger, Skype, TCPMP, WMP, Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and a PDF viewer. Read The Full Story

USB Aroma Oil Burner and Radio

Christina Crouch, Jan 31st 2008 Discuss [0]

I don’t like oil burners, I had a horrific experience with one where I set my desk on fire. I have a glass desk and when you have an oil fire on a glass desk, throwing water on it only spreads the fire around. I will never buy another one, not even the USB Aroma Oil Burner and Radio.

Eddie Bauer rechargeable flashlight

James Allan Brady, Jan 23rd 2008 Discuss [0]

Check out this neat little flashlight whose end is literally the automotive power adapter that plugs in to charge it. There is also an orange cone tip for the light so you can use it to signal traffic like a police officer (although I wouldn’t recommend it). Read The Full Story

Illuminaire LED TV backlighting

Christina Crouch, Jan 23rd 2008 Discuss [0]

Watching TV in the dark causes eye strain. We all know this but we still do it, in fact I prefer it which probably explains my need for glasses. For those of you who are concerned about eye screen Illuminaire offers a solution that is very pleasing to the eye. Read The Full Story

Moonlight speakers with color-change LEDs inside

James Allan Brady, Jan 22nd 2008 Discuss [0]

Check out these speakers that double as ground lighting for your event or party. They have color changing LEDs and look like Moons, if you will, when they are on the white LED. And the sound, from the speakers, its projected out in a 360 degree range instead of just wherever its directed. Read The Full Story

Cordless art lamp means you can be just as pretentious as the gallery for less

James Allan Brady, Jan 21st 2008 Discuss [0]

So at art galleries they have these lamps that hand over the art to light it up to make sure you can see it because the lighting at the galleries usually suck. With these you get to lose the heat and the cord and the necessity to change the bulb all the time. Read The Full Story

Flashlight with a compact DVR inside

Christina Crouch, Jan 21st 2008 Discuss [0]

I can’t tell you how many times I’ve sneaking around a building late at night with only my flashlight to guide me and hoping that I remember everything I see when I get home, mostly because I’ve never done that. If I did do that and often enough I would look to the Flashlight DVR, from Swann Security, to help me. Read The Full Story

Lazy Man Holiday Lights help decorate all year round

Christina Crouch, Jan 18th 2008 Discuss [3]

I grew up in one of those houses where every holiday had decorations and even some made up holidays had some. What I’m saying is, my mother loves decorations. However, my father doesn’t enjoy them so much, especially if he has to take part in putting them up. The Lazy Man’s Holiday Lights, though, is a great way to please both of them by putting up your lights only once. Read The Full Story

Rock Band Stage Kit coming soon?

James Allan Brady, Jan 14th 2008 Discuss [0]

So the word on the streets is that there is a new Rock Band addition headed our way come 6/23/08. Sadly its not a new accordion or harmonica part for some of these songs, instead it appears to be some sort of official Rock Band special effects kit with a fog machine and generic stage lighting that is apparently synchronized with the music.

The First String Electric Guitar Lamp

Abby McVay, Jan 9th 2008 Discuss [0]

This is definitely one of the more cheesy bits of lighting to have lying about in your living room. However, I'm sure some poor sap sees this as the coolest lamp of all time. Although I have an high appreciation for music, and create some of my own from time to time, I can't see myself turning into enough of a fanatic to find this lamp even remotely appealing.

Air Shadow hides those hideous fan blades

Abby McVay, Jan 4th 2008 Discuss [1]

Design doesn't always need to make complete sense, sometimes it just needs to wow people beyond their own logic. I don't recall ever thinking fan blades were such a huge design flaw that they needed to be taken off immediately, but apparently someone thinks it's a bit of a eye sore. Read The Full Story
