The office can be stressful. Many of our biggest pressures in life stem from activities at the office. Releasing anxiety, stress, and pressure is a best practice recommended by psychologists around the globe. Then again, there’s also the sheer fun associated with locating, targeting, and firing upon an unsuspecting coworker in as harmless of a way as possible. That’s where this USB rocket launcher comes in. On Windows or Mac, this USB connected device can spin a full 360 degrees around and rises up from the horizon up to 45 degrees. It has a six meter range, making it a non-deadly projectile perfect…

If the zombies come, you’ll be thankful for using hand-cranked gadgets for two reason. First, you’ll have electrical power wherever you go, even if you’re running from one of those faster zombies.

For those who aren’t as concerned about zombies as they are about having emergency backup power for their various devices, here are a handful of cool ones that can keep you going in case of disaster or simply when traveling in places without convenient outlets.   The Hand…

Today, you can buy a flash drive with enough memory to store more than a room full of floppy discs. We all know that memory compared to the days before flash drives was much more expensive per megabyte (remember when we used to store memory by the kilobyte?), but even as recently as a decade ago, memory using the same basic technology was so much more expensive. The little froggy above stores 4gb and costs around $7. Compare that to the ad below from a decade ago. At this rate a terabyte will be free a decade from now. Perhaps more importantly, will we have something better than a googly-eyed frog?  …

“Together we can solve this password problem now.” That’s the final line of the video that the team at myIDkey put together for Kickstarter. The video and the overall pitch itself worked nicely – it broke the $150,000 project requirements in only two days. Sitting at $177k now, the excitement surrounding security projects like these are very easy to accept, apparently. The idea is simple – put all of your passwords onto a cloud-connected USB device, add voice commands and other nifty features, and voila! Let’s do security! Here is the video followed by some images associated with the device. Do…

Play Angry Birds with chop sticks. Browse web pages without a mouse or touchscreen. Sign a document within 1 centimeter with pinpoint accuracy. These are just the tip of the possibilities iceberg for Leap Motion, the gesture-control technology unveiled today in the video below. The San Francisco startup says you can “Say goodbye to your mouse and keyboard.” The accuracy of the device may make that claim a reality for some considering that it’s reportedly 200 times more accurate than anything on the market today and can track the movements of all ten fingers inside a 4-cubic-foot space down to…

Philips has just introduced the Sonicare DiamondClean USB, a toothbrush that can help you stay fresh and clean while you’re at your desk. The new electric toothbrush uses a USB port to keep its batteries charged, which is why the consumer electronics company has dubbed it “the iPod of toothbrushes.” Aside from USB connectivity, the device boasts five brushing modes and a “charge glass” for wireless charging. It’s slim design also makes it relatively easy to throw in a suitcase while traveling. Philips has also introduced a flossing device that doesn’t use floss at all. Sonicare AirFloss…

Really, it’s about damn time – and while it’s only a rumour, it makes perfect sense: Apple seems to be phasing out boxed software. The move comes sooner than anyone might have guessed – already, Apple’s personal setup notes seem to hint towards a push for digital distribution (that is, the Mac App Store), as noted by MacRumors: When you purchase a Mac at an Apple Retail store an employee will help you setup your e-mail accounts, walk you through the Mac App Store, setup an iTunes account for you, and show you the basic pointers of owning a Mac. Some stores will even have dedicated Mac setup stations….

FireWire, the largely forgotten interface standard, has been alive and well. While most of us probably haven’t noticed, the 1394 Trade Association has announced that over two billion FireWire ports have shipped worldwide. That’s quite a feat, although FireWire still isn’t as fast as USB 3.0. “The two billion ports represents a significant new milestone for 1394,” said Max Bassler, chairman, 1394 Trade Association. “Just as impressive is the innovative and creative application of FireWire in new generations of advanced industrial automation, vision systems, and production equipment….
