This one doesn’t have a name. It’s just referred to as the “Tactile MP3″ player. Why tactile? Simply because the 5 basic controls necessary to master your music are raised bumps, something like braille. The idea is you can control your music all by the sense of touch.

I have a nasty habit of using my hands instead of a scrap piece of paper for jotting down reminders and to-do lists and while I’ve seen people getting blank to-do list tattoos on their hands and arms before, I don’t think I’ll be following that particular trend anytime soon.As an alternative here’s a kit [...]

LED lights are far more efficient than standard light bulbs, using a half of the energy and burning five times longer than their rudimentary cousins. It’s a wonder, then, that we don’t see them used more. Ann Arbor, Michigan is the first city in America to replace all its streetlights with fancy, fancy LED lights, [...]

What you see before you is a telephone. It is not a cellphone. It is not a VoIP phone. It does not have Skype or DECT or some other marketing-friendly electrical engineering designation. It is not even cordless.

The guys at Gizmodo took their Apple-loaned MacBook Air and stripped it down, just to see how easy it would be. Result? Very. Ten screws secure the bottom cover, and after removal, the cover lifts off to reveal an equally easy to remove battery.

This TrekStor portable drive doesn’t really do anything particularly innovative, but it does use a 1.8 hard drive giving it a footprint that’s just slightly larger than a credit card. It comes in capacities of 20GB, 80GB or 120GB and has a sturdy aluminum housing which helps with heat dissipation and only weighs between 65 [...]

Sure, it looks like the Eee, it sports the same CPU as the Eee, heck, it even appears to use the Eee’s OS — but it’s actually the CM900! What does that mean? Well for starters, you’ll pay more money for less computer ($349.99 for a 2GB system, the same price for a 4GB ASUS)… [...]

If I ever do pack it all in and decide to work from home, then I am definitely getting me one of these. I would not go quite as far as setting it up over a bed; I would be setting up the ErgoQuest 500 over some sort of mega-expensive massage chair. Seriously, this is [...]

New Era has some rather pricey game inspired caps on the market.  The caps, which feature boldly colored Pacman and Space Invaders motifs might not give you street cred, but they ooze geek cred.  All but the most hardcore geeks will probably avoid these, but if any of you out there are looking for a [...]

If the Australian Tourist Board wants to dispel the Crocodile Dundee bigger is better, Texas with a funny accent image many of us have of their country, they’d better slap an export ban on Lenard Audio speakers pronto.
