Video: OTAS camera watch for tardy office pervs

admin | March 26, 2009

We’re not saying that this ¥9,980 ($100) OTAS watch with built-in pinhole video camera and 8GB of flash memory can’t be used for constructive endeavors. Hell, maybe you’ll use it to ferret out corruption at the highest levels of government. Maybe the 80 minute, 352 x 288 pixel video you shoot provides the irrefutable [...]

Evergreen’s impossibly small Micro USB Mouse

admin | March 26, 2009

As nerds of feeble build and limited lung capacity, we generally like our portable gadgets to be as small as possible. Problem is, there’s a fine line between ultra-portable and un-useable. Take Evergreen’s $20 Micro USB Mouse… please. Our opposable meat-hammers would futilely mash away on this quartet of buttons — nevermind the scroll-ball. Oh [...]

Mercedes-Benz’s F-CELL Roadster is chock-full of win

admin | March 25, 2009

Mercedes-Benz has been toying with alternative-energy prototype vehicles for awhile now, but we’re fairly certain this little gem is amongst the most bodacious. The obviously conceptual F-CELL Roadster hearkens back to M-B vehicles of old, though the engine is far from retro. Controlled with drive-by-wire technology and utilizing a joystick rather than a conventional steering [...]

Canon EOS Digital Rebel T1i now official

admin | March 24, 2009

Yep, Canon just went live with that Rebel T1i DSLR that leaked a bit earlier, and it’s looking like a hell of a response to the Nikon D90: an XSi body jacked with the 50D’s 15.1 megapixel sensor, 1080p HD video recording, and a $900 price tag. Yeah, it’s gonna be a hit. Other notable [...]

That’s almost $40,000 less than the Fisher [...]

With an output of one hot watt, the Dice speaker series is sure to turn your morning commute into a tiny, slightly louder micro-party in an instant — or, at the very least, it’ll cool up [...]

Struktable multitouch table is as fun to use as it is to say

admin | March 23, 2009

Sure, you can make a multi-touch table out of just about anything these days, but it still always pretty impressive when a project comes together as nicely as this so-called Struktable multi-touch surface built by the folks at Struk Design Studio. Like some other rigs, this one relies on the FTIR (or frustrated total internal [...]
