Skullcandy is back with their 50/50 composite ear buds which come complete with in-line microphone as well as track and volume control that are compatible with the iPhone of all generations. The whole line will be released this May, although those who want to pick up the black and white/green buds can do so on an exclusive basis from Apple stores at the moment. Sporting a rugged look as with all Skullcandy products, we do hope that the audio quality will live up to its name as well. ACcording to the manufacturer, composite materials with aluminum are more or less guaranteed to provide superior audio. The whole line will consist of half a dozen color options, so you should be able to find something that suits you.
I’ve never heard of the phrase “steampunk musician” before I wrote this post, but Yoshi Akai apparently is one. He wrote a master’s thesis on turning color into sound, and he has invented a way of turning Lego into music.
Ever seen the movie Insomnia? In the film, Al Pacino investigates a murder in an Alaskan town, but there is never any night. As it so happens, he arrived during the time where there are six months of daylight.
Both Verizon Wireless and Casio have teamed up to bring to the masses a water resistant as well as shockproof handset that ought to be able to go through thick and thin with you – we’re talking about the Casio G’zOne Brigade cellphone here. Touted to be the perfect device for business customers who are heavily involved in industries such as construction, public safety and utilities, the Casio G’zOne Brigade is no slouch when it comes to existing in harsh working environments without compromising on its cellular technology when you need it the most. Apart from being able to make and receive calls and text messages, the Casio G’zOne Brigade sports a QWERTY keyboard to get those messages out fast, an HTML browser just in case you want to catch up on the latest happenings via a mobile news portal, and a Document Viewer for reviewing Microsoft Word documents, Microsoft Excel spreadsheets, Microsoft PowerPoint presentations and PDFs. Oh yeah, with Push to Talk capabilities built in, you will be able to leverage Verizon Wireless’ 3G network for fast two-way communication (at a fee, of course).
You know that the iPhone is one power guzzler, and that having an important call die on you is downright irritating, perhaps even leading up to you losing out on that business deal. Well, Novothink’s got your back with their very own iPhone case which is compatible with the iPhone 3G as well as iPhone 3GS models, since it boasts a solar panel on the back that will help juice up your precious handset wherever you go. It will not hamper the usability of the iPhone in any way since you will still gain full access to the touchscreen display, and is durable as well as lightweight while keeping your conscience clear knowing that you are doing your part in helping combat global warming. The Solar Surge case is going for a $79.95 pop.
Always wanted to run your favorite SNES ROMs, but prefer a more authentic experience to it? The NEO SNES/SFC Myth cart makes that possible – just load all those ROMs onto it from a computer via USB, insert the cart into your still working SNES/SFC and you’re good to go. Just make sure the ROMs are no larger than 64MB in size, and good news is, it supports all save types and is compatible with all but 0.5% of SNES/SFC games out there, with selected games requiring the DXP cart support. We wonder whether Nintendo will file for a lawsuit against such hardware knowing their notorious demands for protection against piracy.
I have a mother that cannot stand watching films where the main characters drive into water. I think she has an irrational fear of drowning in a car, and films that show characters caught in their seatbelt don’t help. In all honesty, I have no idea if a car’s seat belt will malfunction like that if it hits the water, but if you have this same fear as my Mom, you might want to get the ExiTool. 


GPS is fast catching on, and there are many devices these days that sport GPS navigation support. The GPS Travelogue is yet another one of those, where it will rely on GPS technology to track and record everywhere you travel, letting you upload your journey to online mapping applications such as Google Earth later on.

Tiny enough to fit into your palm, the GPS Travelogue is compatible with Windows 7, XP or Vista operating systems. A two-hour charge can offer enough juice for the entire day, and then some. The GPS Travelogue will retail for $149.95 from Hammacher.

I have a daughter, who is interested in all things pink and cute. She’s seven years old and lives in a My Little Pony, Care Bear, and Littlest Pet Shop world, and so this Barbie B-Smart laptop is just for her.
