Cute Air Drone Helicopter Is Downright Mean
The SkyNET drone (pictured above) is a modified Parrot Quadcopter running a Linux computer, a GPS, a 3G card, and two wi-fi cards. The SkyNET drone, or drones, fly over an area looking for wi-fi. When they find it, they start trying to break in to the wireless network, once in it looks for computers […]
Etymotic HD-15 High Definition Electronic Earplugs
I’m going to knock them a few points for abusing the term “high definition”, but otherwise Etymotic’s new HD-15 electronic earplugs look like a far better alternative to those yellow or orange foam tubes you keep swiping from work. Your run-of-the-mill earplug simply blocks all (or most) noises from entering your ear canal. So while […]
Turn Your HDTV Into A Chumby NeTV
The folks at Chumby are making it easy to turn your HDTV into a Smart TV. The Chumby NeTV comes with a seven button remote and connects between the video source and your TV. This allows you to have an overlay of the Chumby interface on top of your video. Clever.
Atari Arcade For iPad
The Atari Arcade ($60) is like the iCade but cheaper and with that full arcade feel (sorta). The iPad Atari Arcade docks to your iPad connector and is powered by the iPad (no need for extra batteries). Expect to see the Atari Duo-Powered Joystick, and Atari's Greatest Hits app, in early October.
Z Corporation 3D Printer
3D printers have come a long way, this is simply amazing. This one is better explained by watching the video of a Z Corporation 3D Printer in action.

CueLight Interactive Pool Table
The CueLight Interactive pool table system is pretty slick. It is a bit like the interactive hockey games on TV where you can see the digital tail following the hockey puck, but the CueLight is better. The CueLight system uses an HD video projector and camera system mounted above the pool table. The system then […]
SCANDY – Scanning With Your iPhone
You gotta love the gadgets that show up on KickStarter. Some are down right amazing and some squeak by with a simple solution to a simple problem. This gadget, the SCANDY, falls in to the latter category. This isn't a bad thing, in fact I like the idea (sorry TC) and think it will help […]
American Red Cross Eton Rover Review
Hurricane Irene is a reminder to us all that a good emergency radio like the Eton Rover is something that should be in our arsenal. Living through a hurricane or earthquake is scary, and worse so if you are not prepared. Something as simple as a quality self powered AM/FM/NOAA weather radio with flashlight could […]
