The problem: you need a hands-free option for safely espying your smartphone while behind the wheel of a moving vehicle.
Your equipment: Ahesive-backed craft foam, heavy duty plastic coated wiring, assorted PVC tubes and pieces. (Total value: approximately $2.) A “goofy vacant space” in the car dash for placement.
Target time is 10 minutes or less. Hit [...]
Could there be something lurking deep inside your Sony laptop or TV programmed to break the device as soon as the warranty expires? That may sound like a crazy conspiracy theory not far off those involving the mysterious deaths of engineers, but it’s a theory that continues to persist to some degree in Japan, and [...]
When we saw Asimo do his Fred Astaire act a while back we knew he had star quality — and now it looks like the feisty robot is finally getting his big break. Living With Robots, which just premiered at Sundance Film Festival, was directed by Joe Berlinger (who directed Metallica’s Some Kind of Monster) [...]
British electronics e-tailer Clove has started listing a new £53 ($86) HD2 accessory that should be of interest to everyone who owns or plans on owning the device.

In a rather disappointing example of “your mileage may vary,” market research firm Northstream has put TeliaSonera’s shiny new LTE network — the world’s first to go commercial — to the test, coming away with some disappointing conclusions. The bottom line is that they never managed to go above about 12Mbps downstream, a pretty wild [...]
One of our favorite iPhone games is Touchgrind. Sure, we’re terrible at it, but at least we feel like we’re accomplishing something “totally street” and “badass” with the multitouch input that the iPhone allows. Well, Illusion Labs is looking at bringing some of that magic to the Mac. They’ve got a demo up of the [...]
These didn’t quite make it off the boat before CES, but if it’s a new Toshiba laptop you’ve been searching for, you can still get some satisfaction before the end of this month. The outfit has just announced that four of its machines are available in the US starting right this very moment, including the [...]
