This is where it’s at, guys. Remember the 5th gen Nano? Wimpy capacity aside, that thing was the tits. Truly the best Nano to date, and much rockin’er than that poufy little square screen Steve dares pass off as an ‘iPod’ today. Anyway, in the event you’ve still got one of those things, I don’t suppose you’d like to strap it to your head, would you? Actually, don’t answer that. That’s a stupid question. Everyone wants to strap an MP3 player to their head. Well, then, have I got a treat to tickle your lust for first-person videography. Courtesy of Rampant Gear is just the piece of molded plastic to satisfy…

Turns out Big Steve isn’t the ninja we all thought he was. After being pulled aside and searched at Kansai International Airport in Japan, throwing stars were allegedly found in his luggage, and were promptly confiscated by security. Enraged, Jobs reportedly stated he’d never visit Japan again. But he wasn’t pissed for any old reason. Security had just unwittingly blown the lid off Steve’s latest revolutionary game-changing device: The iPod ninja. “iPod ninja fits into that sweet spot between the iPod touch and a small handgun,” Apple spokesperson Ted Wetmore tells Scoopertino. “It…

More than a few times, Techi readers have called me out in the comments section about my abuse of the word ‘rad’. Indeed, some have even refused to believe my endorsement or recommendation of a service, product or idea unless I say it. Suffice it to say, it seems to be my catchphrase. But let me tell you about something that isn’t rad. Something that could be rad, but verifiably isn’t. For now. That something is iTunes 10. I literally stayed up all night, moving some new music and fiddling around with the latest version of Apple’s music player, and guys. I have got to say. I’m not impressed. Now, bear in…

It’s been 18 years since AutoCAD ran on Macs, but now they’re back – and boy are they back. After a short period of existing only within the Windows realm, Autodesk is bringing their CAD software back to the Mac. Not only will the new version run on Macs, there will be an iPhone and iPad version too. In what might appear to be a gloomy announcement for Windows 7 and Windows Phone 7, Autodesk is finally acknowledging that a large segment of the high end computer market isn’t choosing the Microsoft route. With the Mac consistently growing it’s market share, it was finally time for a big software name to return…

Shocking though it might be, Good Ole’ Boy John Mellencamp hates the internet, despises iPods and tortures kittens in his spare time. Okay, he doesn’t strictly despise iPods, but the kitten torturing part is absolute fact. In an interview with the Globe and Mail, Mellencamp waxes moronic on a number of subjects relating to technology. He states that the internet is the most dangerous invention since the atom bomb, although I’m personally pretty sure that you couldn’t really watch much porn on an atom bomb at all. Mellencamp also states that the internet has destroyed the music industry, which…

I don’t normally like talking about iPad cases. Your Techi time is precious, and I’m not about to waste it on a piece of molded plastic. With that in mind, I’ve got this great piece of molded plastic I’d like to show you. It holds your iPad, and everything. In all seriousness, though, this isn’t the wrong kind of rad. The iPort is a for real-real grown up serious dock that transforms your iPad (or iPod Touch, if you get the smaller one (or iPhone, if you get the smaller one, and are unwise)) into a wall controller for music systems or other tasks that need roboticizin’. To be honest, that’s just about the long…

I’ve always hated iPod stereos – always these fruity little white folding egg-shaped dealies with questionable sound quality. I mean, I enjoy what they’re trying to go for, emulating the design sensibilities of Apple itself, but guys, it’s not working. Case in point. I like minimal, sexy things, but I demand performance. I demand big, square woofers. I demand a man’s stereo. It would seem that JVC has heard my cries (seriously, guys, I stand on my balcony and shout about this in despair. All the time.) and, in JVC fashion, has decided not to piss around in forging a big, sweaty man-device to throw…

You’re one of the five people in the civilized world who own a Zune, right? Well, good news – you may soon be able to sync it with iTunes. Seriously. This is a thing. In an attempt to save the world and all its inhabitants, three Mortal Kombatants have been chosen the European Union has drafted up a document it’s calling the Digital Agenda, the function of which is to serve the cause of interoperability, openness, and innovation in the tech world. I, for one, am precisely the opposite of not all for that. Behold, an excerpt: Since not all pervasive technologies are based on standards the benefits of interoperability…

He may have written some classic hits, but Prince has no ‘Kiss’ to give in his latest ‘Purple Rain’ of vitriol against ‘teh internets’, which the diminutive pop star says ‘is finished’. Is this a ‘Sign of the Times’, or simply an attempt by the artist to propel sales of his latest album, 20TEN, which isn’t going to be made available in shops, instead it is to be given away in the UK with copies of the Daily Mirror. Speaking to the Mirror, Prince slammed, like, this whole Internet thing, saying it is over, finished, dead, last year’s number. At the risk of being a rock ‘n’ roll…

Have you ever been to a house and stated in your head “WTF were they thinking?” when judging their design choices? Now with the help of some docking speakers for your iPod/iPhone you can provoke your friends into thinking the same thoughts. The iCrystal by Speakal is a new innovative design as far as docking stations go; backlit Omni directional speakers with an illuminated teardrop giving off a gentle blue light around its rim. They have been compared to alien pods, and its hard not to see why. These orb-like speakers definitely give off the feeling of something that is not from our world. Of…
