Music lovers and enthusiasts will remember the Roland TR-808, that was actually one of the first programmable drum machines ever made.
It was introduced in the early 1980s, which actually makes it several years older than I am. And while this Roland TR-808 Flash Drive can’t really help you lay down some beats,…

I often knock Brando for their crazy gadgets, but the truth is the company does sell a lot of practical and cheap devices. Take this thoughtfully designed cooling pad for example. It has a USB-powered keyboard attached to it and is fairly adjustable. Combine the two and you get a…
