IBM concept laptop is great for spies, has large knob

Posted in Concepts by Conner Flynn on October 14th, 2008

IBM concept laptop is great for spies, has large knobThis IBM concept laptop looks like something from an alternate dimension. It’s the kind of laptop we might be using had the cold war never ended and spies were everywhere and issued these laptops by Q.

It’s a concept by Nicolas Lehotzky. The most interesting thing about it is the giant security “knob” which is fingerprint activated and allows the laptop to respond only to the owner’s touch, acting as a physical lock. It also has hidden USB ports and a trusty built-in paper shredder. It goes well with the watches depicting the Bond villains.

Super Talent unearths Terra Cotta Warrior USB drives

Posted in USB by Conner Flynn on October 12th, 2008

Super Talent unearths Terra Cotta Warrior USB drivesSuper Talent is offering some terra cotta warrior USB drives that are life-like replicas of the ancient Xi’an warriors. They are just, you know, about 7cm tall. They’re fully compatibility with USB 1.1 and 2.0 and can be had in 1GB-8GB capacity. The drive also supports password protection.

In case you weren’t aware, in 1974 in Xi’an, China farmers were digging a well and discovered a huge underground cavern containing thousands of life sized terra cotta warriors. It was all very Indiana Jones. Funny thing is, in two thousand years, they’ll dig up a stash of these drives that some dude laid out all in a row and attribute some deep meaning to how we shaped our drives into the likeness of warriors. But really, some dude in a warehouse was just playing army guys.

The floppy disk is back

Posted in Storage by Conner Flynn on October 12th, 2008

The floppy disk is backAhhh. The floppy disk. It once housed all of our data, but now they reside in landfills and in the closets of pack-rats everywhere. Or on the desks of those who are stuck in the past. They held just over 1 MB each. I bet you feel nostalgic for them, just like when you see an 8-track tape.

They could become relevant once again. This one is a USB floppy disk that can be plugged into your USB drive and can store not just MBs but GBs worth of data. Check out that built-in stand that flips out. And it remains the size that you remember. Old tech is never dead, it just needs an upgrade.

Sony PS3 controllers get a charge

Posted in PS3 by Conner Flynn on October 12th, 2008

Sony PS3 controllers get a chargeSony’s PS3 SIXAXIS and Dual Shock 3 controllers being wireless, are going to need a charge after awhile. That’s why Sony has their own AC adapter for both controllers, for almost $30, available starting December 18th. With the AC adapter, you’ll get a few USB ports, allowing you to charge up to two controllers at the same time. We don’t know if this is going to show up outside of Japan or not, but we hope so. It’s better then leaving your PS3 powered up all night.

Un-bear-ably cute notebook speakers

Posted in Peripherals by Shane McGlaun on October 10th, 2008

Bear Dolls Laptop SpeakersWhen I buy speakers or other gadgets for my computer, I like them to look like speakers. Some people out there obviously feel differently and like to buy stuff that doesn’t look like it is supposed to look. I guess the fad all started with the nanny cams years ago that looked like stuffed animals.

If you need a set of speakers for your notebook, desktop or MP3 player that look like cuddly stuffed bears, you are in luck. This set of speakers has one brown bear and a white bear that each houses a speaker with 2W of power each.

USB lamp and iPod dock brought to you by the letter C

Posted in iPod Accessories by Conner Flynn on October 9th, 2008

USB lamp and iPod dock brought to you by the letter CThe makers of this lamp/iPod dock obviously believe in simplicity as well as educating people Sesame Street style on the letter C. It is a space saver. We’ve seen our share of iPod docks and USB lamps, but not together in the same device, that I’m aware of.

The Conof USB lamp has a bright light and can swivel 270 degrees, making it extra useful. Not many details, but it appears to have dual USB ports, so you can dock your iPod and another item of your choice. The lamp is powered via the USB port on your computer. Once you tire of this device, maybe they’ll throw some “D” letter action your way with another like it.
