Star Wars Beanie Hats

2012-03-23T21:51:05Z

While totally cool in concept I can’t help but imagine how ridiculous these Star Wars character hats will look when worn… and as a fan of ridiculous hats I’m inclined to purchase all three. Force telepathy not included.

Wicked Lasers Fry The New iPads

2012-03-23T02:25:09Z

Earlier this week I received an email about a drop test video for the iPad 2 and The New iPad.

Bottom line is, drop stuff with Apple Care or another warranty from somewhere because dropping electronics on the ground typically smashes them wide open and renders them unusable. Duh.

Then, out of nowhere this video from Wicked Lasers appears demonstrating new and inventive ways to destroy The New iPad:

Until zombies become a real thing, I propose all product durability videos involve 1000 mW blue laser beams from this day forward. Then, when we have zombies we can wrap iPads in raw Porterhouse steaks and see how well they fare. All in favor?

The creators of iHangy feel they can rescue from ever feeling this way again by providing you with a necklace attachment for your iPhone, allowing it to be close and near to your heart at all times. A handy touchpen is included with the iHangy accessory for those of you who also suffer from a fear of fingerprints.

Why I Am Waiting To Buy a Sony PS Vita

2012-03-22T18:37:56Z

Were you one of the first 1.2 million people to purchase a Playstation Vita? While I’m glad to see another successful handheld enter the market I am holding off on purchasing the Vita for one simple reason: special edition. Looking back on my PSP System purchase history, I’ve owned a PSP-1000 purchased at launch, an imported ceramic white PSP-1000, a red God of War PSP-2000, and lastly a Big Boss Camo Green PSP-3000. Out of all of those systems, the Big Boss Camo PSP is easily my favorite out of all of them for its unusual look and style. Now with all that in consideration, why would I jump the gun now and purchase a “piano black” Vita that will inevitably get replaced with a yet-to-be-released special edition Vita? Here’s an idea for you, Sony: start out with a limited edition kick-ass color, pattern, design, or movie tie-in for your next system launch. Hardened early adopters like me would be more likely to purchase your latest and greatest instead of waiting for the right special edition system to be released if only a limited number of a special edition system was released at launch . (In a parallel universe, Sony released a TRON-styled PS Vita with glowing blue trim at launch and my alter-universe self owns three of them.)

MoMA Remote Control Spaceman

2011-11-01T21:47:47Z

The MoMA Remote Control Spaceman comes with a 2 channel infrared remote controller and flies up to 50 feet high. The SpaceMoMAN charges via the rapid battery charging unit which requires 8 AA batteries. Maybe I’m just picky, but in the 21st Century I want my remote control toys to have embedded video cameras or fire missiles or maybe even fly themselves. Still, SpaceMoMAN wins total style points for his retro spacesuit and jaunty black-and-white checkered swatch on his main propeller.

Protect Your USB Hard Drive Data Like a Secret Agent

2011-10-26T21:27:53Z

If we were to imagine the perfect USB 3.0 2.5″ HDD enclosure, you know, the kind that we could put any laptop-sized USB drive in, we’d make it a frictionless solid black like the spaceship Zaphod steals in HHGTG. Then we’d slap on an OLED touchscreen display, total AES 256bit drive encryption, an ARM-based 32-bit controller, a four to eight digit pin, and an emergency master pin for data recovery.

Wait, what’s this email from Laurence at Brando say? Sweet Restaurant at the End of the Universe, you wouldn’t know if by the name but the drive enclosure of our dreams is already here!

Lytro Light Field Camera Puts Every Picture In Focus

2011-10-21T03:52:46Z

Standard cameras capture a single plane of light. The Lytro Light Field Camera takes an unusual approach to photography by capturing 11 million light rays with its light field sensor – all the light traveling in every direction in every point in space. This eliminates the need for a focusing motor which also means no shutter delay. The result? Stunning photographs that can be refocused on any point in the picture. The Lytro has an 8x optical zoom, constant f/2 lens and comes in two models: 16GB for $499 and 8GB for $399. (More specs here) The technology in this innovative new camera fascinates me and like any new technology you’re paying a premium. It remains to be seen how competitors like Canon, Nikon, and Sony respond to Lytro’s awesome new innovation.
