You may’ve seen a Toshiba ad on the gogglebox, starring T-Pain? This is the extended version, which just made me crack up with laughter. Expect to hear “megagigabyte, son!” become the new catchphrase (amongst nerdlingers, anyway). [YouTube via @Sonicbooom] More »







MIT’s Ramesh Raskar, creator of amazing things, is on the cusp of creating a fantastical camera that can take pictures of objects that are hidden around corners. As long as light can reach the object, this camera can capture it. More »







Apple’s AirPlay, a new feature arriving with today’s release of iOS 4.2, marks a huge move into a (mercifully) wireless future, beaming music, videos, and photos to speakers and screens all over your house. Here’s why it’s so damn cool. More »







This foot-powered food processor has numerous things going for it. As you will have noticed, it’s incredibly stylish—and small. It’s also eco-friendly, thigh-friendly and perfect for small kitchens. It’s just a shame it’s a concept. More »







Comcast is buying a majority stake in NBC. Obviously, that raises some sticky questions for regulators, mixing up a cable/internet providers with a producer of content, particularly in this age of internet video. So the FCC is considering a bevy of conditions to approve the deal—like “program access” rules to keep Comcast from withholding NBC programming from competitors or net neutrality conditions.

AutoBot app lets you track your car if it tries to roll out without you

We smell a Hasbro lawsuit coming with this one, but for now AutoBot is a funky name for a potentially great iPhone and Android app. Working in concert with a Bluetooth OBD-II dongle (not unlike the Superchips Vivid), it lets you diagnose engine troubles, keep track of maintenance, and locate your car via GPS coordinates — useful for when some Decepticon tries to make off with your ride or when you’re simply running low on energon and can’t remember where you parked. It can even be configured to automatically send a text to loved ones should you get into an accident, specifying your GPS coordinates and ruining any hope of hitting the body shop before dad finds out. The Mavizon-developed app recently won a startup competition at i-Stage 2010 and sadly isn’t slated to be available until 2012, but we should be getting an early look at CES. When it does ship it’ll cost $300 for the hardware and the software, though an extra fee will be required if you want to banish pop-up ads back to Cybertron.

I guess it’s no surprise to anyone that I go out a lot. I eat most of my meals somewhere other than home. A new fixture in a lot of restaurants these days are flat panels with local advertising. I try to ignore these screens as much as possible. They are boring, redundant and lose [...]

I first encountered the Mikey at CES 2009, and the first version was a handy microphone made to plug into the charging port end of an iPod.
They have since come out with the Mikey 2.0, which is made for the iPhone and iPod Touch. I happen to have the latter, and I [...]

These Avantgarde Trio Classico speakers look like gigantic golden ears. The frame bends in an ear-like shape and the horns act as the lobes. At $190,000, they better make my ears bleed gold though. More »
