Wake up to Star Wars LEGO alarm clocks

Wake up to Star Wars LEGO alarm clocks

We know you haven’t completely gone to the darkside, well, perhaps while you are awake but our imaginations can get the best of us in our sleep and that means that our internal clocks cannot always be trusted. That is why when our minds travel to a galaxy far away, we need something to bring us back into the light, or at least wake us up in time for work. …

Unmanned drone from Team Black Sheep stalks French police before hasty exit

Unmanned drone from Team Black Sheep stalks French police before hasty exit

The folks at Team BlackSheep put together a “Christmas Special” video with their quadcopter and GoPro camera. While there are few details about the group, the equipment used, or whether or not the French police are investigating, it’s fun to watch as they land on a truck in traffic, hover close to the street with people taking pictures, and follow a French police car up until the point when they are apparently spotted. Then, they make their hasty retreat. Check it out: Here’s a separate video of a cool homemade quadcopter with a GoPro attached: Related articles ‘Team Black Sheep’ Troll French Police…

Netbooks have died. Tablets are to blame. Thankfully.

Netbooks have died. Tablets are to blame. Thankfully.

The original idea was a good one. With internet speeds improving and becoming more abundant, why carry around all of your data and the bulky hard drives necessary to maintain them? Why not store just about everything on the cloud and create machines that could be easily transported everywhere to do nearly everything that can be done by a desktop computer? That was what propelled Asus and other manufacturers to start the netbook revolution in 2007. Their Eee PC was a landmark development in the world of computing, bringing functionality and form to a compact computer that could fill most of our needs…

Does Google Now know too much about you for your own good?

Does Google Now know too much about you for your own good?

There’s something particularly creepy about Google Now that not only makes it superior to Siri and other voice- and location-based digital personal assistants, it makes it worrisome to those who take their privacy seriously. For the first time, we get to see the full breadth of how much Google really knows about us as individuals. It knows us from our Gmail accounts. It tracks our activities online. It knows where we are at any given moment. It’s aware of our real-world activities. In essence, it knows more about us than many of our significant others. That should be a little disconcerting. Strangely,…

Water dancing music speakers

Water dancing music speakers

Make your music dance with speakers filled with colorful water that will swish to the vibrations of the sound from the attached speakers. Speakers have almost become a necessity to own, especially with the various gadgets and laptops we collect like Barbie’s, even if they come with built-in speakers they most certainly do not do audio any justice. …

Turn your iPhone into a projector

Turn your iPhone into a projector

We all enjoy sharing our captured moments through photos especially with our friends and family members and although we share them online it is not quite the same as sharing it with them offline. Yet, crowding around a computer or trying to hook up the proper cables to a T.V. to be able to share the stories that go along with the images can be too much of a hassle. That is why bringing the projector back into style and giving it a new-aged twist for the iPhone will make story-telling of your experiences come to life all the better. …

Hush little lady don’t say a word, Connor’s gonna buy you a pillow that will put you to sleep, okay so I am not a poet, but you sure can buy a pillow that will sing you to sleep, a pillow that has a buried speaker within it and is capable of playing all of your favorite tunes. …

Heat up your cup with a USB cookie

The winter snow has been scarce this year but now it is coming in harsh with a bang and though the Christmas lights have dimmed for another year, a cozy blanket with a cup of hot chocolate and left over cookies that Santa didn’t eat are all worthy of dunking, all except one, the one which will keep your hot drink hot. …

A solar powered robotic Transformer

Luke Skywalker lightsaber lava lamp

Luke Skywalker lightsaber lava lamp

I remember how much a lightsaber was enjoyed when a friend would pull one out of their closet, it was certainly one gift I wanted but never got as a kid. Luckily, I had really awesome friends who were willing to share and since I was always willing to play, it became one of my favorite toys. Now, as an adult finding a Luke Skywalker (Hello!) lightsaber lava lamp makes me want to pop in a Star Wars DVD and have a marathon. …
