Admit it, you’ve been thinking this all along and Etsy designer Hiphandmaids made it happen.  We introduce to you the iMaxi($30) feminine pad-themed iPad case, with wings and all.  I love it!

“It shields your iPad from all those unsightly data leaks that would make any motherboard worry!”

It comes in blood… I mean red too!

DJ Decks By Metrofarm

by cwhitmore | Posted March 9th, 2010 at 9:46 am

I’m not real big into house, electronica or techno but I’ve got some friends that are.  So when I saw these turntables I definitely thought of them.  The Berlin-based Metrofarm is the design house responsible for this collection of sweet, custom built turntables for DJs who want that extra style.

Watch Nexus One get built, then beaten

by cwhitmore | Posted March 3rd, 2010 at 3:42 pm

Here are two awesome videos showing what went into the building and testing of Google’s Nexus One.  Watch it get dropped, slammed, bent and poked all as a part of Google’s and HTC’s stress tests.  Now I want to go watch stuff from Will it Blend.

Check them out after the break. Read More

USB-XLR Mic Cable lets you use your good microphones

by cwhitmore | Posted March 3rd, 2010 at 1:42 pm

I’ve talked a couple times about different microphones for recording and podcasts and such.  Well this time it’s a cable that caught my eye.  Yeah I know, I’m a geek…  This isn’t just any cable though.  It’s the USB-XLR Mic Cable ($55) and does exactly what the name says.  It connects to your computer on one end via USB and then to your professional XLR mic on the other end.

Now all you have to do is read Japanese. (or use Google Translate)

What does a $34,000 bike look like?

by cwhitmore | Posted March 2nd, 2010 at 12:29 pm

Like this…  The better question would be, Why the hell is it $34,000?  That would be because it’s the Factor 001 design and made by Formula-One engineers at bf1 systems.  I’m still not sure that justifies $34k but here’s a peak of some of it high tech features.

Almost completely made from carbon fiber, electronics such as power meters and GPS built into a handlebar-mounted touch screen and no head tube.  The forks go straight to the handle bars.  I would love to ride this  but I don’t think I’m that important in their book.

Final Fantasy I & II hit the iPhone

by cwhitmore | Posted March 2nd, 2010 at 10:29 am

Final Fantasy VII could arguably be one of the greatest games ever but before FF7 there was I & II cause numbers go in order…  Anyway, FF1 & FF2 have just been ported to the iPhone.  Square Enix gave the artwork an update before launching it and it looks a lot nicer than the original.  Too bad they want $9 for it.  I know, I’m a cheap ass.

Who’s ready for the World Cup?  I am!  We’ve shown you the Adidas Jabulani, the official ball for 2010 but to get you a little more pumped, here’s the US 2010 World Cup Jersey by Nike ($70).  The jersey is retro in style refrencing the 1950 World Cup match versus England.  Some of it’s new features are Nike Sphere Dry and Dri-FIT technology, an embroidered US team badge and a big ass Nike logo.

The USB Wine Cork

by cwhitmore | Posted March 1st, 2010 at 8:47 pm

It seems like they’ll put a USB drive in just about anything these days.  I guess the 2GB Cork USB drive ($52) isn’t too bad of an idea if you were some kind of top secret spy doing all kinds of top secret stuff.  If I was a spy I would want lasers…. pew pew

We may not get a new Wii but we get a controller

by cwhitmore | Posted March 1st, 2010 at 3:41 pm

Well it doesn’t look like we’re going to get a new Wii for a while but we are going to get a new controller.  Japan has had the improved Wii Classic Controller Pro for a while now but we’re getting it in April.  The upgraded version looks like a cross between the old classic controller and a playstation Dual Shock controller.  It’s going ship with Monster Hunter Tri, but if you’re not into killing dragons, dinosaurs and sea creatures you can pick it up separately for $20.
