Why Is There A Pony In The Apple Store?

I can’t decide whether or not to believe this. Can you? [via The Daily What and Waxy] Go to Source

Klipsch Shows Off Ruggedized In-Ears, First Over-Ear Headphones

We’ve been fans of Klipsch’s Image line of headphones for some time now, so we welcome the latest updates with open ears. The ones I’m most excited about are the Image S5i Rugged (top). The S5i is a nice mid-to-high-end pair of headphones designed for use with your iPhone. The new version is “extremely durable” [...]

A Closer Look At Apple’s Latest Patents

Apple has been granted nine new patents, and I thought I’d take a look at the claims therein and see whether they match up to the descriptions, and whether they seem (to this humble blogger) like realistic items for which to gain exclusive rights. I’ve included links to all the patents, but the USPTO office [...]

Not-so-Stealthy StealthArmor: COLOR Series giveaway

StealthArmor, the fancy skin for your iPhone or iPad, is now available in red, pink, blue, yellow, orange, purple and green. I know you’ve been itching for a green iPad. If you want the boring carbon fiber look, you can have it, but that’s pretty old fashioned. We’ve got three to give away to lucky [...]

Looks Like Dyson, Priced Like A Knock-off, Still Blows

Not content to stick to the cheap imitation of tablets and other computers, the clever copiers at Abiko have produced a “homage” model of the Dyson bladeless fan. Keep in mind that the knock off isn’t of the newest models, but rather the 10-inch desk fan that we reviewed last year. So they changed the [...]

ESPN Thanks Sony For ESPN 3D Help, Says ‘People Who See 3D Can’t Get Enough Of It’

Without Sony’s support ESPN “probably would not have launched” ESPN 3D. So said Bryan Burns, Vice-President of ESPN, at IFA earlier today. Burns, talking before a reasonably crowded auditorium, reiterated ESPN’s commitment to 3D sports broadcasting while fully recognizing what we’ve all been going on about for months now: nobody’s going to buy an expensive [...]

iSAVE: Airbags Attached To The Outside Of Cars

I am not sure if this is a good way to protect pedestrians, but a team of Japanese researchers developed them: airbags for use on the outside of vehicles. It may sound bizarre at first, but this is not some silly experiment. The air bags (or special car body panels, to be more exact) are [...]

Plex Inks A Deal With LG, Could Be The Start Of Something Huge For Both Companies

Plex is about to get big. The offshoot of the XBMC project just announced that LG will be using its media platform in upcoming Netcast HDTVs and Blu-ray players, in turn, making these devices about the best media streamers imaginable — even better than the upcoming Boxee Box or just-refreshed Apple TV. After all, Plex [...]

Video: Just Some Kids And A Rube Goldberg Contraption

How did your kids spend the summer? Mine? So far by watching Phineas And Ferb about a thousand times, but this video has inspired me to build a Rube Goldberg machine over the holiday weekend. I doubt you’ll ever find a group of kids so happy about putting a beach ball in a bucket. Awesome. [...]

The Samsung Galaxy Tab Can Set Its Own Price, No Need To Directly Compete With The iPad’s $500 Price

The Samsung Galaxy Tab is going to sell well. It won’t be a blockbuster like the iPad, but it should still do alright mainly because it’s the first consumer-worthy Android tablet. Samsung can even price the tablet well north of the iPad’s $500 starting price. It will not matter. People will buy it even if [...]
