Ladybug USB card reader has a multitude of uses
This Ladybug USB Card Reader, Charger, and Money Detector sure gets you a bunch of geek bang for the buck. It’s a Micro SD card reader, flash drive, USB device charger and a UV counterfeit money detector thrown in.

That way when someone stiffs you with some fake dough, you can just pull your ladybug out(While others laugh) and have a look. It’s got wings too, making sure you look extra girlly. It’s $9.99. But would any guy, or woman for that matter want to be seen in public with this bug? If it helps, they’re supposed to represent good luck.

Posted in Wii by Conner Flynn on June 18th, 2008

Nintendo is “working on a solution” to Wii storageWe’ve seen the writing on the wall and it seems to indicate that Nintendo is working on some USB devices for the Wii, but Laurent Fischer of Nintendo Europe quashed that idea while another option now seems open. According to GamesIndustry.biz, he says that the company is “working on a solution” to the Wii storage problem, but he also says “definitely there’s no plan to issue hardware,” like a hard drive.

So the thinking now is that Nintendo is working on a firmware update that would allow downloaded games to be played directly from SD cards, but no one knows for sure. We may get more details as E3 approaches.

Aluratek alarm clock wakes you to Internet Radio

Posted in Clocks by Shane McGlaun on June 18th, 2008

Aluratek Internet Radio ClockIf you happen to live in an area that doesn’t have a radio station that caters to your musical taste, your only real options are MP3s, CDs or Internet radio. CDs are too old school for the geeky among us, MP3s are cool but can get expensive if you’re not into messing with RIAA so Internet radio looks like a good option.

The catch is that your boring clock radio probably only wakes you up to an annoying beep or FM radio. While a country song might get you out of bed quickly, wouldn’t it be nicer to wake to your favorite music genre? Aluratek has a new clock radio that can wake you to FM, MP3, a beep or Internet radio stations.
