Cute Cube Design Is Practical
January 11, 2010
Bringing a multi-plug with you on holidays is always troublesome, since they’re distant and bulky. whether you agree that it’s a problem, you’ll be hoping that that Cute Cube potential adapter concept becomes a reality. Designed by Zhang Xi, Wang Hui, Miao Yingying, Zhou Xing and Cai Yun, it won the Red Dot Design Award, which is confirmation of how cool that design is. It’s easy abundant to carry in a laptop bag, and since the sockets can rotate, you can ensure that the chances of each adapter blocking another are minimized. Wouldn’t you want one of these?

Remote Controlled Walking Ladder
December 14, 2009
Remote Controlled Walking Ladder from Niklas Roy on Vimeo.
Niklas Roy has come up with the Remote Controlled Walking Ladder which is more or less a whacked out DIY project. Sounds neat particularly when ladders can get quite heavy to lug around particularly when you're on a DIY spree at home during one of the expanded holidays. Well, there is an inherent danger with that - while standing a few steps up, you might accidentally shift a gear or so and actually throw you off balance as the ladder moves on to where it is supposed to head, resulting in a sore rear end or even some broken bones.

Google On Android Dogfood Diet For The Holidays
December 13, 2009
This is probably as close as we’ll get to an official confirmation on the Google Nexus One phone for the moment. Google has confirmed that it’s working on a new “mobile lab” concept, which is a device that will combine innovative hardware from a partner, and software that runs on Android. As we already know, the partner that Google is talking about is HTC (though it hasn’t been officially confirmed yet). Now Google has confirmed that its dogfooding its employees with the product, which we can only assume is the Nexus One. We can’t wait to see some official pictures of the Nexus One, and see how Google plans to market it.

The greatest geek gadget guide ever!
December 4, 2009
True gadget fans (like me) seem impossible to buy gifts for. We have everything. We know everything. And we're very picky about which devices we allow into our circle of trust.
The holidays can be an unhappy duration of year for us technology enthusiasts, for three reasons. First, everyone in the extended family wants free tech support. Second, we never understand why the amazing electronics we give as gifts fail to impress grandma. Third and most of all, the gifts we receive -- although well meaning -- tend to fall flat.
"Uh, thank you! A digital-photo keychain from Brookstone. What? No, yeah, I love gadgets. It's, uh, fine -- I mean great..."
If you're a gadget geek (like I am), prepare certain your loved ones "accidentally" read that (mine will). It's precisely the kind of guidance they're looking for.
If you're buying a holiday gift for one of these difficult public, listen up. I'm going to tell you how to buy a gift that will rock their holiday.

Half Off AT&T BlackBerry Phones
December 4, 2009
Aren’t the holidays great, particularly with all the promotions and such? As predicted, AT&T has started to offer 50% off BlackBerry smartphones. You’ll still need to agree to a 2-year contract agreement, and the mail-in-rebate still stands, but that’s beside the point, right? In case you’re looking for something else, the Samsung Solstice is going for free with a new contract.

Snowflake Sony DSC-TX1 spotted in Japan
December 1, 2009
This winter, Sony is offering a snowflake-engraved version of its DSC-TX1 compact camera. The special edition will be available in Silver, Black and Pink. There's no surcharge for the engraving, but Sony will only do it for the holidays. I like the Silver version, it's cool and discrete, but I don't live in Japan...
If you are not familiar with the DSC-TX1 ($329): it's a 10.2 Megapixel compact camera that has a 4X optical zoom and a Carl Zeiss lens. In the back there's a big 3" LCD touch display. There is a ton of features, but a few cool ones are: the 10fps burst mode, low-light capabilities (for a compact) and the 185 degree sweep panorama. whether only Sony would switch to SDHC...
