Stargate Coasters: Commiserate Stargate Universe’s Demise With a Cup of Joe
 |
Poor, Stargate. Stargate Universe had to be canceled just when it was getting good. The worst part is that you’re left with all these open-ended questions, which will probably never get answered. If you are a Stargate… fan and are in utter despair, don’t worry, because these coasters will |

LG Cinema 3D TV: For Once, Being Passive is Good
 |
The folks at LG were kind enough to loan me one of their Cinema 3D HDTVs for the last couple of weeks, and I wanted to share with you my experiences with the set, and the 3D technology it uses. The set I test-drove was the LG Infinia 47LW5600, a… |

LED Maps Light Up Wherever You’ve Been, or Where You’re Going
 |
Do you travel a lot? While you could certainly use any of a number of digital tools to keep track of all the locations you’ve visited, it might be sort of cool to have a more physical manifestation of your journeys than just some Google Maps page that only exists… |

NetMix Player Takes the Grunts Out of Wimbledon
 |
I happen to think watching tennis is right up there with watching golf and watching paint dry. The sports might be fun to play, but watching them on TV leaves me in a bored stupor. I also don’t care for watching soccer on TV, but I do recall when the… |

Soundfreaq Ghost Sound Platform: The (iPhone) Friendliest Ghost You Know
 |
What is it about characters that are named Ghost that works so well? I liked Ghost in The Matrix and Matrix games, the direwolf named Ghost in A Game of Thrones,… and there are probably other instances of this name working well. This time around, Soundfreaq’s new dock now comes |

Game Station PS2 Knock-off Does Everything BUT Play PS2 Games
 |
Most of the cheap Chinese game console knockoffs do just one thing – play old 8-bit NES or Famicom games. Some of them don’t even do that. Here’s one console clone that claims to do way more than those.… |

Skullcandy Vandal AMP Station: The Dock Goes Retro
 |
There’s something cool about retro-inspired electronics. The Vandal AMP dock is from Skullcandy, a company best known for their skater-chic headphones, and it works with iPhones and iPod Touches. Don’t worry, you won’t find old technology hidden underneath its hood.… |

DirecTV Tries to Make Hotels Less Disgusting and Germ Infested with Anti-Microbial Remotes
 |
I am not a fan of staying in hotels at all. The beds and pillows are uncomfortable, and the thought of sleeping in a bed that some perverts could have had an orgy in the night before is not appealing in the least. I also don’t even want to know… |

Cool Fingers Protect Your Digits When You’re Too Lazy to Use Oven Mitts
 |
After a long day at the office, I just want to switch on the television and watch away while I have my dinner. Sometimes, I get home to cold food and I could not be more grateful for whoever invented the microwave. |
