USB Utility Charge Tool Is A Swiss Army Knife For The Modern Times

GADGETS

For most of us, Swiss Army Knives have lost their place in our pockets for daily use. I mean, why would you really need a mini-knife, a mini-scissor and a mini-screwdriver head when you work in an office cubicle all day? If you’ve been longing for something to take its place in your pocket, the USB Utility Charge Tool should make for a more useful contraption. Instead of miniature blade tools coming out of its pocket knife body, the contraption [...]

Tactical Fire Striker Pen Can Set Your Words On Fire

GADGETS

When I hear people in battle raps rhyme about putting their pens to paper, I always wonder whether they’re exercising poetic hyperbole or if they really write their bars old-school style with a pen and paper. While I still don’t know the answer to that, anyone who actually still writes with a pen will probably be best served by this Tactical Fire Striker Pen. You know those old-school writers worked, right? Mess of dried ink stuck all over [...]

Plair Simplifies Streaming Content To Your TV

ENTERTAINMENT, GADGETS

There are plenty of solutions for wirelessly streaming content from computers to the TV. Most of what we’ve seen, though, require you to buy into proprietary standards like Airplay or to mess with the streaming features on your favorite set-top box. So far, the Plair is the most straightforward, portable streaming solution we’ve seen. Created by NewDealDesign, it’s a WiFi-enabled dongle that plugs into theTV’s HDMI port. From there, just download the app onto your mobile device or open the [...]

Full Size Racing Car Simulator Puts A Replica F1 Car In Your Home

ENTERTAINMENT, GADGETS

If you’re going to spend an unjustifiable amount of money on a racing simulator, might as well choose one that’s as realistic as it can get. Other than having your own track built in the backyard, we doubt there’s anything that brings realism better than a full-sized F1 racer as a gaming platform, which is exactly what the Full Size Racing Car Simulator delivers. You know how gaming rigs now up the realism by using genuine bucket seats for race [...]

Crazyflie Nano-Quadrocopter: Your Army Of Mini-Drones Is Here

ENTERTAINMENT, GADGETS

Your Parrot Drone may be awesome, but there’s nothing stealth about it. The thing’s just too big to fly without drawing massive attention. If you want a smaller, stealthier drone to satisfy your whims, you may want to turn your focus on the Crazyflie Nano-Quadcopter instead. Sold as a kit, it’s not exactly the fun-out-of-the-box experience you’ll get with other toy quadrocopters in stores. If you’re the type who likes to fiddle with your toys, though, this is about as [...]

Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Brings Quality HD Video In Super Compact Size

GADGETS

That Blackmagic Cinema Camera is about as compact a cinema-quality video shooter as you can ask for. At least, that’s what we thought. Apparently not the case, though, with the new Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera. Yep, that awesome video rig you’ve been using for shooting pro-quality amateur music videos now has a smaller brother. And it’s even more grab-and-go, sporting dimensions no different from many point-and-shoots, all while packing some serious talents. Billed as “the world’s most compact Super 16 [...]

Breville All-In-One Does Blending, Slicing, Mixing and Pulverizing

GADGETS, HOME

You can buy individual tools and appliances for separately blending, slicing, mixing, chopping, mashing, pulverizing and erstwhile turning your food into tinier bits. But why subject your kitchen counter-top to all that crowded mess when you can just pick up a Breville All-in-One to do all of it? A multi-purpose food preparation appliance, it’s, basically, a food processor with a selection of attachments that let you change up what function the device performs. That way, you can slice, dice, shred, mash and [...]

Novo Action Cam Improves On The GoPro Hero3

GADGETS

It’s undeniable that the action cam market is crowding up these days. Despite that, there’s really little option among the products for using with standard lenses to give you more flexibility in your shots. Not the case with the Novo Action Cam, which repurposes the GoPro’s guts into a slim form factor that’s compatible with C-mount lenses. Made by Radiant Images and View Factor Studios, it’s not a new camera, by any means. Instead, it literally just takes the guts [...]

TREX RC Robot Lawn Mower Is Built Like A Tank

GADGETS

Robot lawnmowers aren’t exactly new. However, we doubt that your Robomower is capable of clearing the grass off the side of a hill or a steep-sloped backyard. That’s what the TREX is for. Made by Evatech, it’s not actually a smart robot that can execute its work autonomously like your Neato or Scooba. Yep, operation isn’t hands-off, although the radio controls mean you can chill out in the shade while putting the mower to work, which is a heck of [...]

MōVI M10 Might Be The Best Camera Stabilizer Out There Today

GADGETS

Holding a video camera in your hands still offer the best option to help you improvise on the spot. However, it’s also the best option for getting shaky and blurry shots. There are, of course, plenty of stabilizing solutions out there. So far, though, I don’t think there’s anything that can rival the MōVI M10 Camera Stabilizer. Arguably the most advanced handheld camera stabilizer ever made, it’s a custom designed system that allows your shooter to automatically adjust even while you [...]

Grizzly Is A Half-Robot, Half-Tractor Beast Of Burden

GADGETS

ATVs are awesome. Robots are awesome. It only makes sense that combining the two will create something that’s double the awesome. And that’s exactly what the Grizzly Robot Utility Vehicle does. Made by Clearpath Robotics, it’s an autonomous ATV designed to execute highly-demanding defense, mining and agricultural tasks. Billed as part-tractor and part-robot, anything you’ll probably use an ATV for but are too chicken to risk your neck actually doing, like running down an army zombies or ferrying supplies over [...]

Mobile Blastmaster Is A Towable 2000W Stereo Speaker

ENTERTAINMENT, GADGETS

Portable boomboxes come in plenty of designs and configurations, from small pocket speakers to larger box-size sound machines. Despite advancements in tech that allow tiny speakers to produce big sound, the old adage still holds: bigger hardware allows for bigger sounds. If you want the biggest sound while retaining the minimum in portability, this Mobile Blastmaster should make for a worthy choice. Instead of being hand-carried or slipped into a backpocket like your standard mobile speaker, it’s meant to be [...]

ENTERTAINMENT, GADGETS

A small device, it’s designed to magnetically attach to the speakers, so you can put it on top, on the side or on [...]

Airocide Air Purifier Requires No Filters, No Cleaning

GADGETS, HOME

Your air purifier probably works well as it is. Heck, it might even be a peach to look at like the Andrea Air Purifier we raved about a while back. It’s probably fair to say that no matter what unit you’re using, it won’t be as awesome as the Airocide Air Purifier. Unlike other air purifiers, these ones are based off technology that NASA used to slow down the process of fruits and vegetables ripening too quickly during space [...]

Philips DesignLine TV Ditches The Bezel

ENTERTAINMENT, GADGETS, HOME

If you’ve been keeping up with new TVs, you definitely would have noticed the ever-shrinking bezels. Well, we’ve finally reached the pinnacle of that with the Philips DesignLine TV, which proceeds to eliminate bezels entirely. Made by Amsterdam-based TP Vision (a joint venture between TPV Technology and Royal Philips Electronics), the TV doesn’t just bring an edge-to-edge display panel, it comes in a novel design, too. When turned off, in fact, the whole thing just looks like a large square [...]

Envelope X-Ray Spray Lets You See Through Sealed Contents

GADGETS, LATEST

Opening sealed envelopes to find out their contents then sealing them back in like nothing happened is easy enough with the right tools on hand. Unless you accidentally rip something out because you’re a crappy spy, that is. If you’d rather avoid the whole potential for trouble, you might want to invest in a can of the Envelope X-Ray Spray instead. Able to make erstwhile opaque paper turn into a temporarily transluscent state, it lets you quickly check what’s inside [...]
