Advances in technology mean progress, and progress isn’t a word that you would associate with something that’s environment-friendly. After all, technology needs energy, which we usually draw from natural resources that will eventually deplete. Western Digital wants to help solve that problem by using a new line of hard disks called GreenPower. It claims that [...]
It’s one of those things that you know was totally meant to be: an MP3 player based on the Decepticon Soundwave. It’s $105 USD worth of coolness and nostalgia. I can’t find any technical details, but if you’re a Transformers fan, I’m pretty sure you don’t really need it. Star Wars fans will be happy [...]
“Haptic” is a word I learned just today, catching a glimpse of it as I was scanning over my RSS feed looking for something interesting. It means pertaining to the sense of touch, and when applied gaming peripherals it usually refers to force feedback. The Novint Falcon Haptics Controller seeks to go beyond the “rumble” [...]
Filing for a patent is newsworthy enough these days, particularly if it’s a new product from a tech company. The patents also give you some insight on what the company’s working on, and it can get pretty exciting if it’s a device that other people are already speculating about, like a Zune phone or Google’s [...]
LG-Nortel unveiled its WiMAX-enabled video phone recently. There are no product specs yet, so this looks like it’s just a standard phone with a camera and video controls. Not too complicated, but hey, it’ll certainly make phone sex more interesting. Speaking of interesting, Samsung is now marketing its own motorized wall mount for those of [...]
For quite some time I covered anything I could find about the LG Prada Phone over at Dial. After all, it was an iPhone clone (or the iPhone was the Prada clone, I’ll leave it to you) and it was also one of the first phones that carried a fashion label’s name. Sure, fashion phones [...]
Following up on yesterday’s cyborg arm post, Gizmodo had more details from someone who was actually there. Excerpts: At this point, Dean described what current motorized limbs were like. They strapped against a shoulder, and if they moved at all, they’re controlled by kind of jamming the opposing shoulder which pulls the strapped limb so [...]
“Nikon today introduced the new D40x digital SLR camera that is designed to allow users take spectacular photographs with very high-resolution at the touch of a button. The D40x maintains the same compact size, portability and ease-of-use as its already successful sister camera, the D40, and adds features like higher 10.2 megapixel resolution, faster continuous [...]
In the ever-growing world of modding, there are mods that makes everyone heave a collective sigh and there are those that simply blow you away. This next one’s a little of both, although it’ll probably be more of a gasp than a sigh. Introducing the CoilOsapien, a heavily-modified Robosapien armed with a flamethrower and a [...]
I’m a total sucker for great design. Even something as mundane as a laptop computer which for the most part is much like the bicycle in terms of its lack of ground-breaking innovation over the last decade or so. So when a big company like LG wins a Red Dot design award for a creative [...]
