We’ve already seen robots that are created to help us in the kitchen, play with our children, and keep us safe from harm, but what about the lower species out there? What would happen if a roach, beetle, or even a scorpion were converted into mechanical creepy crawlies? You only have to look as far [...]

This LED Umbrella shows you how to look cool in the rain. You’ll look like a cool geek holding a Jedi Sword in the rain, who has just defeated the baddies and saved your girl from danger and now ready for a wet embrace from her. The magic behind is the umbrella has an illuminating [...]

Imagine how much easier the holidays would be if setting up and decorating a Christmas tree was as easy as pushing a button. No tinsel all over the place, no lights to hang, no ornaments to break, none of that hassle. Well unfortunately this DIY Christmas tree projector is about as close as [...]

Simple and beautiful, these little lights are made out of 9v batteries, LEDs, and real dandelion seeds. Each is a little bit different, and if the pricetag of $99 each seems a bit steep, consider that each is entirely hand made, which means (I can only assume) that the artist is sticking each seed onto [...]

Playing famed titles on the sides of buildings ain’t nothing new, but this rendition of Tetris is just too svelte to be ignored. Folks from the Finnish Student Union and Universimo gaming company (among others) were responsible for rigging up an elaborate (and shall we say, quite beautiful) colored graphics platform using the Mikontalo’s D-staircase [...]

No matter how often we humans fail at designing "futuristic" fashion that the real future inevitably disowns, it’s always fun to try. Bogner’s got a good thing going here, what with a few solar panels and myriad of LED lights embedded into the ski suit of the future, and since the suit was designed to [...]

We spend a lot of time here exposing you to the gadgets and technologies out there already making your life easier and more interesting "today." But the truth is, behind the scenes, our favorite pastime is actually sniffing around for those gadgets still in the idea phase. We’re constantly searching for these electronic monstrosities so [...]

If you have a hard time expressing yourself online without an emoticon at the end of every sentence, imagine how difficult it must be when you have to write something out on paper. Sure, you could just use traditional punctuation-based emoticons but without software to convert them into cartoon faces it just seems so cold [...]

What? A month not long enough to scrounge up 29,500 pennies? That’s really too bad, as the limited edition Keyport Slide is now available to anyone willing to fork over the aforementioned quantity of cash. Granted, we still think that’s a touch entirely too pricey for what you’re getting, but hey, at least you can [...]

You may have heard that camera, cellphone and technology in general in Japan is quite a few years ahead of our own. Want some more proof? Look at this Hello Kitty camera, by Sanrio: it blushes when you take a picture. Have improvements to cameras in Japan finally hit the ceiling? Is the next step [...]

Ipevo’s Trio is a Skype phone. Unlike most of the rattly junk that’s knocking around, however, it’s packed with features like conference calling, echo cancellation, one-touch call recording, and voice optimization designed to squeeze maximum quality out of Skype.
The $80 handset looks cute, but kind of bizarre, too. How the hell do you dial? One’s [...]

The just-announced 3110 Evolve candybar from Nokia is big on features. Not features of the gizmo sort, though — quite the contrary, actually — rather, features of the "Mother Nature will thank you" sort. As its name suggests, the phone appears to be an evolved version of the rather plain 3110 classic, a phone that [...]

SEOUL, Korea (AVING) — <Visual News> Next Generation Computing Show 2007 kicked off in Seoul, Korea with an intention of providing a way to envision our future in the age of digital convergence. ‘UFC(Ubiquitous Fashionable Computer) fashion show’ is a foremost event of the show where you can witness a variety of fabulous combination [...]

Just as burning a girlfriend a CD will never be as romantic as making her a mix tape, so too will sharing pirated software prove a heartfelt disappointment on anything but floppy. So one (genius?) designer has made CD-Rs that look like 3.5" floppies. At $8 apiece (for 200MB) in packs of 4, they aren’t [...]

It’s just a just few months that we have to say goodbye to the lunar year of pig. If you ain’t have enough pig-shaped gadgets in this year, here you go, another pig-shaped gadget. It’s a pig-shaped USB speaker that comes with AM/FM radio. Video after the jump!
 

Its piggy nostrils with the honeycomb covers are [...]

We’re not exactly sure what kind of impression they’d make during a presentation or business meeting, but luckily for sales of Dell’s upcoming World of Warcraft edition XPS M1730 laptop, most folks who would purchase such a product have long ago fled corporate America for the privacy and creepy ambiance of their basements. Seriously, though, [...]

Despite the fact that the esteemed Mr. Mossberg doesn’t seem to care for it too much, Les Delliens has it on good authority that Dell will be upgrading its line of Vostro small business systems this month, in the form of the 1200 laptop. Specs are not yet available to accompany the above pic, but [...]

Here’s an interesting way to power a camera: attach it to a fluorescent light. This small wireless security camera by NEC takes advantage of electromagnetic induction to keep itself running, thanks to a ring-shaped adapter made by Sharp that draws from the magnetic fields created by the light’s AC power source. The ring reportedly is [...]
