We’ve seen CF-SATA converters before, but what if you were to create a SATA shaped, sized, and interfaced enclosure and allow users to throw Compact Flash cards in there to make their own SSDs for more standard installs? Sans Digital’s CS1T is a single-card Compact Flash CF to 2.5″ SATA enclosure and the CR2T is [...]

I like designs that are so simple and clever, that they make you slap your head in one of those V-8 moments. This sofa design from South Africa’s XYZ Design is a perfect example. By simply rotating the center cushion, you can quickly convert it from a three seat sofa into a comfy looking chaise [...]

We’ll go ahead and get this out of the way: the fantastic product you’re about to hear more on has “no plans” to go commercial. Now that we’ve thoroughly killed your buzz, let us introduce to you the LaserTouch. Said device is a prototype that recently emerged from Microsoft Research’s labs, which essentially allows people [...]

Ah the lengths people will go to for a great location and even greater views. “Separation Creek House” by Jackson Clements Burrows (JCB) Architects takes cliff building to knew heights. Built on a forty-five degree incline, the property presented unparalleled challenges. ‘Most of the one hectare site was too steep to build on. Only a [...]

In some circles, the iPhone backlash began long before the device was launched, still in the fuzzy spyshot blog rumor stages. If you’re looking for a more official milestone, perhaps the launch of the self-proclaimed “anti-iPhone” will do the trick.
That’s exactly how hardware manufacturer, Hop-on is positioning their new $10 HOP1800. The pre-paid GSM [...]

This elegant desk hides a fully-functioning computer inside, saving space and allowing you to keep the space on or under it free and clear. It also has a monitor built in and attached at the back, meaning the only space you’ll need to take up on the desk will be a keyboard and mouse. The [...]

Pentax has been cranking out waterproof Optio point-and-shoots for a while now, and the company’s latest, the W60, doesn’t really break from the company’s successful basic formula. The 10 megapixel shooter packs a 2.5-inch LCD, 5x optical zoom that doesn’t ever extend out from the main camera body, 720p movie mode, ISO 6400 sensitivity and [...]

Every so often, we catch Sharp tooting its own horn in regard to sensor size. Needless to say, small is most certainly superior in this discussion, and the aforesaid outfit is patting itself on the back once more for the RJ63SC100. This 5-megapixel CMOS sensor is said to be the industry’s thinnest at 9.5- x [...]

Guys love games and hate asking for directions. So it makes sense that Sony would produce an add-on component for the PlayStation Portable to turn the handheld gaming device into something truly useful. While this isn’t really news, since Sony announced the GPS kit earlier this year at CES, I did have a chance to [...]

With the slew of USB storage devices in the market today, choosing one is all down to what unique features a particular product has to offer and of course, the company’s marketing abilities. Just earlier, the folks at the Recording Media & Energy division of Sony Europe launched the new Sony MicroVault Click and Click [...]

Heads-up, open-source gurus — your next play toy is officially ready to be pre-ordered. The OGD1 is a self-proclaimed “high-end FPGA prototyping kit and hardware engineering platform, equipped with the peripherals needed to develop and test computer graphics architectures.” Essentially, it’s designed to be used by students of FPGA programming, engineers hunting down a dev [...]

Just in time for the recession, Sony Tuesday released in the U.S. market a $400 egg named Rolly that plays music and dances (sort of). It’s a product nobody needs. But Rolly will fascinate all but the most jaded geek the way Aibo (the Sony electronic dog) did earlier in the decade. Some will buy [...]

There you have it, ASUS’ Amos ‘n Andy companion to the Martin ‘n Lewis Eee PC 901. The 8.9-inch Atom-based lappie show no signs of the rumored Bluetooth or anything else unusual that we can see. Black is certainly predictable as a continuation of the original Eee PC 700-series color scheme. It’s certainly not as [...]

A full six months after Samsung took the wraps off of GDDR5 memory, along comes word from AMD that the next-generation ATI Radeon graphics cards will boast said technology. Apparently AMD will be tapping Qimonda for its supply of GDDR5 modules, which should boost gaming performance as well as benefit stream processing, “where GPUs are [...]

The One Laptop Per Child program — the program that aims to put cheap but functional notebook computers in the hands of children in impoverished countries — has been shipping the distinctively green XO laptop since the end of 2007, but the people behind it are already looking to the future. Program founder Nicholas

We must admit that we have too many gadgets around, it’s time to get rid of some of them. But what if you’d always need most of them everyday? Such as a USB drive and a Bluetooth headset, which the USB drive is always a need for storing data and the Bluetooth headset ensures a [...]

I’ve been passively looking for a cheap digital video camera for posting the occasional YouTube video. The JVC Everio S Series I wrote about yesterday is tempting, but I think it’s a bit too large to carry around on a daily basis, and I’d prefer something a bit cheaper. The Flip camcorders have also been [...]

The USB KeyShark is a computer spy accessory that falls under the category “Just because you’re paranoid, it doesn’t mean they’re not out to get you”.
The small device plugs in between a keyboard and the computer, making it possible to record every single keystroke being made. Over a year’s worth of data can be stored [...]
