Remember the oh-so-cool Luxeed LED multicolor keyboard? This colorful desktop keyboard is about to get a new update for 2009.

Now Mac and Linux users can get in on the polychromatic action thanks to the new Luxeed U5 keyboard, which improves on the original Luxeed by adding multi-platform support. Now I picked up the original…

Anyone who owns an internet-capable device knows that browsing without a keyboard or a good keyboard interface is a pain in the ass. As a PSP and PS3 owner, I can say that that is the case with both systems, not to mention the pathetic, slow-ass connection on the PSP. But if there’s anyone out…

The simple shapes of Pac-Man and co. make them popular amongst decorative bakers, but sometimes, it’s not about simplicity, but instead about sheer dedication to a theme. These Ms. Pac-Man cupcakes are not only brilliant in and of themselves, but the backdrop really takes the (cup)cake.

These seemingly delicious Ms. Pac-Man cupcakes were made by the folks…

Creative has added another PMP to their Zen product line, and they’re calling it the Zen MX. While its specs are as exciting as meditation, it will sell for about a hundred bucks, so it’s a decent option for people who are looking for a PMP on a budget.
