Posted in ASUS by Conner Flynn on December 30th, 2010

ASUS teased us by revealing more about its upcoming Eee Pad line of tablet computers in a video featuring Chairman Jonney Shih. And i do mean teased. The company tweeted a link to the video, but it has since been removed from YouTube. The video confirmed some of the specs for the 12-inch EP121 and 10-inch EP101.

There was also another 10-inch tablet shown with a sliding keyboard, called the EP102. The video also teased us with a first glimpse of a smaller tablet called the EP71, of which we have no details.

X-Dream Gyroxus Gaming Chair for PS3 now available for pre-order

Posted in Controllers by Conner Flynn on August 9th, 2010

I’m okay with just sitting on the sofa while playing my PS3, but if you really want to immerse yourself in the game and have some money to burn, why not check out the X-Dream Gyroxus gaming chair?

It’s available for the Xbox 360, PC, PS3, PS2 and Nintendo Wii. The PS3 version is already available for pre-order at £399.95 (That’s $637). Let’s be honest here, immersion at that price isn’t going to get you much. But if you want a fancy new chair, this should be arriving in late August.

FCC chair: Neutrality would trump any Google/Verizon pact

Posted in FCC by Conner Flynn on August 5th, 2010

According to FCC Chairman Julius Genachowski, any FCC policy on net neutrality that emerges will supersede any pre-existing arrangements by companies. This is alluding to the speculated deal between Verizon Wireless and Google. According to Genachowski, “Any outcome, any deal that doesn’t preserve the freedom and openness of the Internet for consumers and entrepreneurs will be unacceptable.”

Sounds good to us, but the FCC Chairman did not go into details if the FCC policy would include wireless or if such policy would only govern the Internet on PC and landlines.

UpCart turns shopping carts into rolling trees

Posted in Concepts by Conner Flynn on April 2nd, 2009

UpCart turns shopping carts into rolling treesWe’ve seen a surprising amount of shopping cart inspired design here at the “Brick. Sometimes artists turn them into furniture, other times it’s more about real world grocery store innovation, like the design above. And let’s face it, the shopping cart needs an overhaul.

With the UpCart, shoppers could use their carts like a storage system. Put your heavy items near the bottom, lighter items on top. The design makes a lot of sense. The bins can be easily moved around in any position for easy access. This cart may even help prevent traffic jams on aisle four. Maybe.

Posted in Mobile Phones by Conner Flynn on March 8th, 2009

Ulysse Nardin hybrid smart phoneUlysse Nardin’s upcoming Chairman will be officially unveiled at Baselworld later this month. It’s billed as a “hybrid smart phone” and before you ask, no you can’t afford it. It will feature a visible, fully-functional kinetic rotor that will assist it in getting power, just like in a mechanical wristwatch.

There are not a ton of details, but we know that it’ll be unlocked and limited to 1,846 pieces. Full details should arrive around March 26 when Baselworld kicks off. You can use that time to save up, steal, sell all of your possessions, and still fall short of it’s asking price.

Gyroxus Full-Motion game chair

Posted in Games by Conner Flynn on July 24th, 2008

Gyroxus Full-Motion game chair
The Gyroxus Full-Motion game chair is compatible with all of the popular consoles (PC, XBox 360, Playstation 2 & Playstation 3 and Nintendo), As you can see from the name, it’s not just a motion game chair, but a full-motion game chair.

I wish I was impressed, but it looks like molded plastic and with a Maximum Weight load of 250lbs, I don’t think many of todays gamers can fit in it. As far as I can tell, you put your controller on that flight stick thing and somehow it all works after paying $479.00. If you like you can pay $79.95 for 6 months and really drag out your purchase.

Fujitsu’s wooden laptop concept

Posted in Fujitsu by Conner Flynn on April 13th, 2008

Fujitsu’s wooden laptop concept
This is Fujitsu’s idea of what a laptop should look like in the forest. Otherwise known as “We need to get on board with this whole environmental green thing. We’re missing out on a ton of hippie money, guys. We can charge more for it too.”

To me it is a bit too reminiscent of the old wood school desks and chairs. I look at this thing and I’m immediately wondering if I have any #2 pencils and if the substitute is going to be a hot babe today. I can’t see many people buying this. I’m not anti-wood, there’s just something strange about it. I suppose if the Amish suddenly start buying laptops and trading in their buggys for segways, I’ll be proven wrong. Until then, I don’t see much excitement about this concept.

Logitech Z Cinema PC surround sound

Posted in Home Theater,Logitech,Speakers by Darrin Olson on January 6th, 2008

Logitech Z Cinema Advanced Surround Sound System for your computerSo now that there are becoming more and more high quality movies, games and music available to download from the intertubes onto your computer, the next thing a person finds themselves needing (aside from getting that content over to their living room) is a higher quality display and sound system to take advantage of all this advanced media technology. This year at CES, Logitech is coming through with the sound portion of this equation by launching the Logitech Z Cinema surround sound system.

This new speaker system consists of just two satellite speakers (no rears) and a subwoofer along with what Logitech calls “SRS TruSurround HD” to put your desk chair in the middle of the surround sound action. The speakers have a 180W hybrid Class D + Class AB tri-amp, two-way satellite speakers and an 8″ subwoofer along with 24-bit audio via a USB connection. If for some reason you are unable to play your digital audio through the PC that the speakers are connected to, you can also just connect the player to an input jack to play directly through the speakers. Also, in the event that you don’t already have a media center remote control with your system, Logitech is throwing one is as well.

Track racing grannies slot car set

Track Racing Grannies. Or as I like to call it Geriatric Kart racing. If you ever wanted to pit two elderly knitting machines against one another in a nail-biting slot car race, here’s your chance to see what happens. The only way this could possibly get any better is if they said things like, “Just a minute, let me count my change.” or if there were a few more “cars” on the track like old coots in rocking chairs maybe and nurses.

Basically, Edna and Betty are ready to race in their wheelchairs and on occasion careen off the track due to your need for speed. Each granny has an individual speed controller and the set will require 4 x AA Batteries (not included). The track measures 64.5 x 48 cm.

The Give One Get One program was started on November 12 and was intended to run for a limited time of only 2 weeks but according to Negroponte there has been such an large interest in the program that the foundation is extended the offer period.

“In the past 10 days, we’ve experienced an outpouring of support from the public that is truly gratifying and encouraging,” said Negroponte. “Because so many people have asked for more time to participate either individually or in order to organize local and national groups to which they belong, we have decided to extend Give One Get One through the end of this year. During this extended period we will solicit input and transition to a program of giving only at the beginning of 2008. We want as many people as possible to have the opportunity to act upon the giving spirit of the holiday season.”
