This $8 Million iPad 2 Is Partially Made Of Dinosaur Bones

Posted 3/22/11 11:30 am EST by in Gadgets

When I saw that the extremely limited edition iPad 2 pictured above cost $8 million, I asked myself the question any normal person would ask himself: What the hell makes it worth so much damn money? I couldn't come up with anything. Applying a few diamonds wouldn't make it worth that much. Maybe getting it signed by Elivs, who's been dead for 33 years (at least that's what THEY want you to believe), would get it up to $5 million, but definitely not $8 million. So what could it be? Ah yes, dinosaur bones. Of course. This iPad 2, made by Stuart Hughes in Liverpool, U.K., has a frame made of 65-million-year-old Tyrannosaurus Rex's thigh bone and Ammolite, a 75-million-year-old rock. There's also diamonds, plaitnum, gold and other gems mixed around in there. I should have known. Obviously, this thing is worth $8 million. If I had $8 million, it's the second thing I would buy (after lunch--I'm starving!), but then I would get ready for the protests. Doesn't it seem like animal rights activists are going to get pissed about this really soon? I mean, ground up dinosaur bones!? That's not humane. Where you at, PETA?

Using The JH Audio Earphones Are Like Having An Eargasm

Posted 2/11/11 11:00 am EST by in Gadgets

I've always been, and frankly still am, a bit of a audio philistine. I buy really cheap headphones and use them until they spontaneously catch fire inside my ears. So the first time I slipped the JH Audio Pro earphones into ears, I had no idea what to expect. For my fellow philistines, JH Audio Pro earphones are little creatures that fit snuggly into your ear canal and deliver some of the clearest, cleanest audio my uneducated ears have ever heard. I'm told these are used by musicians so they can perfectly hear their monitors and now they're becoming popular with regular folks too.

Anyway, before I could actually lay my hands on the earphones I had to get some gooey stuff poured into my ears so the earphones could be molded. A couple weeks later I had my very own pair of rock star-grade earphones. Now, if you actually do know about this kind of stuff, then it may be important to you that JH Audio earphones have eight drivers--double dual lows, single dual mid and single dual high drivers. That means nothing to me. What I do know about them though, is that they sound fantastic. I've worn them to listen to hip-hop and the pansy boy indie rock I love and everything sounds better through these. You know that experience of listening to a song you love and hearing the bass line for the first time, or picking up a few guitar notes that you've never noticed? It was like that every time. The noise isolation is also life-altering. There's never a lack of distracting noise in the New York City subway--the mariachis, the marching bands--and I never knew how much was leaking past my old earbuds until I tried the JH16s.

There's one big negative when it comes to JH Audio's earphones and that's the price. These things run for $1,149, which is more money than I've ever spent on anything I've ever owned. Really. My only car cost $600. So yeah, these are a huge investment, but if you believe the company, which says they'll last 10 years, then maybe it's not so bad. Of course, if you don't want to spring for them, you could always start a band, get famous and then get your record company to buy you a pair. Your call.

As part of Lenovo's "What's your idea of fun" campaign, the world's best PC modders put together some pretty outstanding creations. The finished products were displayed alongside Lenovo's new product line at the Aquaknox Restaurant in the Venetian hotel.

Playstation Move Vs. Nintendo Wii: Which Is Better?

Posted 12/23/10 1:30 pm EST by in Gadgets, Games

The good ole Nintendo Wii took over the video game world with its motion control system back in 2006 and it's had a stranglehold on the industry since. But now other video game companies have come out with their own take on the motion-control video game world. Sony released the Playstation Move, its add-on motion-control gaming system for Playstation 3, back in September and technology-wise, it's already safe to say that it's way better than the Wii. Why? We've got five good reasons after the jump. Read More...

Hung With Care: Let The Enterprise Cut Your Cheese

Posted 12/9/10 6:25 pm EST by in Gadgets

Is there a better way to cut pizza while watching your favorite "Star Trek" flick than with a pizza cutter that looks like the Star Trek Enterprise? Uhhhh, is Captain Kirk a dreamboat?

If there's a final frontier of pizza cutting, doing it with the Star Trek Enterprise is the only way to get there. With a 4-inch blade made of stainless steel, the cutter will make you look cool while slicing up your grub and score you props from fellow Trekkies when they come over to watch reruns of "The Next Generation" on Friday night.

The pizza cutter is an officially licensed collectible and it can cut through any pizza-–thin crust, pan crust, those crusts with the cheese inside and donut crust. And it's the only way to have a legitimate Star Trek pizza party. Besides, what do you think Captain Kirk would use?

Hung With Care: Allegro Wi-Fi Brings The Internet To Your Stereo

Posted 12/3/10 6:31 pm EST by in Gadgets

One of the great things about the internet are videos of fat animals. Another is the ability to find a radio station for just about every genre of music that exists. Want to listen to some hardcore acid disco? How about baroque bubble gum metal? It's all on the internet and now it can all be on your stereo.

The Allegro Wi-Fi Radio is a radio set-up that connects to your wi-fi connection and gives you access to all the internet's radio stations in one easy boom box. There are more than 50,000 stations, podcasts and on-demand programs that you can connect to, including Pandora, Live365 and Sirius XM if you have a subscription. This thing can also connect to your network and stream music from computers so you don't have to suffer your laptop's horrible speakers.

Some of the Allegro's other great bells and whistles include a built-in battery recharging circuit so that the power to the system is continuous. The system also has a built-in equalizer and a remote control that includes the "thumbs up" and "thumbs down" feature for Pandora. Speaking of remotes, there's also the option of downloading an iPhone/ iTouch remote app. You know, just in case you needed another reason to be constantly tethered to your phone.

Vibe And Shake With Tunebug's SurfaceSound Speakers

Posted 11/25/10 4:00 pm EST by in Gadgets

What's the coolest thing about this Tunebug speaker? Well, it uses a patented technology called SurfaceSound that allows it to send sound waves across the surface of a table and turn anything it touches into a louder, more defined flat panel speaker. That's cool, right?

The Tunebug Vibe (at right) is designed for use with computers, MP3 players and anything else with a headphone jack. It charges by USB cable, so no batteries required, and the play time lasts up to five hours.

The other Tunebug offering is the Tunebug Shake. This is a smaller version of the Vibe that's designed to attached to the helmet of a biker, skater, skier, snowboarder, rock climber or any other weirdo who prefers the outdoors to the warm safety of the couch. Instead of facing the dangers of wearing headphones while you’re out skating or biking, the Tunebug Shake turns your helmet into a boom box.  Read More...
