Power-Strip USB Hub Lets You Switch Ports On and Off
 |
I’ve never had much luck with USB hubs, especially the cheap ones. It doesn’t take them long to fry so I found that it’s best to plug in/out ports or spend more on a decent hub. This hub is made to look like a power-strip, complete with switches. These power-strip… |

Back to the Futurama
 |
If you haven’t heard, Futurama recently started its sixth season on Comedy Central and I have to say that it’s still hilarious. Now that the show is back, I’ve seen quite a few Futurama…-themed items popping up all over the place. These great posters were made by John Dayluke |

Microsoft’s Kinect is a highly advanced controller, capable of detecting and tracking the whole human body (as long as players are not sitting and/or Asian models in swimsuits). But if you think that’s impressive, wait ’til you see what the Kinect Four can do.… |

While at an Apple Store, Redditor blindingdawn “got bored”. So he did what any bored person would do – jailbreak one of the displayed iPhone 4 units: The evil deed (or is it a good deed?) was done via a trip to JailbreakMe on the iPhone’s browser. Two things, Apple… |

Pocketbike I7: Yep, It’S a Computer, Not a Motorcycle
 |
This miniature motorcycle probably wasn’t street legal before modder Saibot got to it, and now most certainly it won’t be heading out for a ride any time soon. While it used to run up to 70MPH, this pocketbike has been converted into a fully-functional computer workstation. Of course, that doesn’t… |

Washing Machine Cleans Bricks
 |
When I was a kid my grandmother had this set of plates that had gold leaf on them. When she got her first microwave, I used to sneak into the kitchen and put one of the plates in the microwave to see the sparks it created. It’s a good thing… |

Darth Vader Likes Chewbacca Pie
 |
It’s a well-known fact that the Empire is not too fond of non-humans, Wookies especially. So it’s only appropriate that Darth Vader would enjoy a little Chewbacca Pie on his favorite plate. Leetlady, a geekette from Norway, recently made this sweet pie and added a touch of geekiness, thanks to… |

Nexus One Gets Wrapped in Carbon Fiber
 |
Carbon fiber is hot. Why? The best bike frames are made out of this material and they are very sturdy as well as extremely light. Plus, it just looks cool – which is why I like the look of this Nexus One phone. An XDA member named My_Name_Is_Neo wrapped a… |
