Recent postsMonday morning at the office? No need to dream of an escape. After work, grab your RC plane, helicopter or car, mount on it the FPV 2400 camera kit, wear the video goggles and you are ready to safely experience the pilot’s view from safety!
The FPV 2400 set offers what might take many hours to [...]
If you are old enough you will remember the time of hardware graphic equalisers as discreet components with loads of vertical slider settings and enough lights to impress virtually any friend.
FlashWear now is offering the SpeaQualiser. You cannot control frequencies in any way, it is just a passive but cool looking representation of the music [...]

The ripples of the digital camera revolution have not settled yet. CNET is reporting that according to IDC data on world camera sales, Canon is still number one overall, a lead it has retained continuously in recent years. However, in the most important DSLR category, Canon’s significant lead has all but been [...]
UMPC sales have not exactly taken off. Being a product segment squeezed between light laptops and smartphones makes life very difficult indeed. That does not of course subtract any conceptual value from Jean Hong’s design, a combination of UMPC and alarm clock. It consists of two pieces that can be manipulated for use in your [...]
Modular works great for our desktop PC but so far nobody had dared market a similar approach for a hand-held device. We have surely seen GPS modules bolted on cellphones, but apart from that, not much. BUGlabs is a company that approaches things a little bit differently. Its Lego-like concept is based on a base [...]
Netflix is feeling the heat from iTunes, Amazon and competing set-top boxes that want to bring TV and movies to American sets. LG is willing to provide the hardware and it is possible that the device that will offer streaming content will also include much wanted playback of Blu-Ray and HD-DVD discs. Netflix is well established [...]
The Nissan GT-R is a dream car, with a character distinguishing it completely from Italian and German exotica. Unfortunately, modern electronics come to spoil completely driving satisfaction limit the car’s top speed to a sad 180 km/h (111 mph) in Japan and 250 km/h (156 mph) in the US -and I suspect in Europe. The [...]
As if the Blu-Ray vs HD-DVD mix wasn’t enough, now new digital panel connection standards arrive to make consumers’ life even more difficult. In the last couple of years we have reached a nice state of equilibrium. As things stand now, we know we need DVI for our PC monitor and HDMI for our flat [...]
Today’s web 2.0 applications are wonderful and generally simple to use. All this simplicity is based on many layers of complexity and technical know-how that goes unnoticeable. There is the software we use, the server that provides all the necessary data, our operating system, our PC hardware, etc., etc. And on the most basic level [...]
Gadgets and electronic games are the rage before every Christmas season. Behind all this onslaught of new products there is the traditional scene of hi-fi equipment as well as the scene of the now mature but still evolving home cinema. A good amplifier and impressive loudspeakers no longer attract attention, the headlines are full of [...]
We owe Apple a lot. They manage (together with Linux) to remind both users and Microsoft that yes there are alternatives in the market and they offer as much or more to both casual and professional users. Since the smart move of switching to the Intel platform, Apple computer sales have increased impressively. The iPod has been so successful [...]
Green is good because of course it sells. Big guns like Nokia and Microsoft are striving to show a green face, especially if this is presented via Greenpeace…. This time around in the report of the 26th of November 2007, Sony-Ericsson is #1 with a score of 7.7 out of 10 while Nokia has fallen from #1 to #9 spot with [...]
