Mimobot has started to make designer USB flash drives that are themed after our favorite utility belt-clad hero.

Read MoreI’ve been trying to learn to play the guitar for a while now. I’m still not very good, but that’s a different story. One thing I’ve learned in my time with the instrument is that not all tuners were created equal. In fact, I really don’t like those that depend solely on sound emitted from the guitar to tune. If I can plug in a cable for a direct connection, I’ll do it, even if it is a bit of…

Amazon Prime is a nice service that gets you 2-day shipping on virtually everything for free. I say free, but there is the initial $80 fee that you have to pay to sign up. If you do a lot of shopping online, then it pays for itself with the convenience. Of course, if you can find a way to get a membership for free, then it really pays for itself. Yes, there is a way to do this. Amazon is…

So many Tron fans have been trying to modify everything they own to come with bright lights and fancy stripes. Though I have no qualm with this whatsoever, I do find it terribly amusing. One of the more recent awesome yet hilarious things that has shown up is a Tron-inspired Segway. Though it doesn�t seem to be too awfully difficult to make, as it�s just reflective tape and a strand of blue LED Christmas lights, it�s still pretty spiffy looking….

There are not enough numbers to count the times I have been annoyed by the click and clack sounds that come from a computer mouse. While relaxing at home, getting a nice cup of tea prepared and sitting down to a good book, the sounds from the mouse and keyboard will start up and then I can concentrate on nothing else. The beginnings of the ultimate days of peace are at hand. Microsoft has made a touch mouse that is…

Watching DVDs is one good way for passengers to pass the time in a long car ride. I’ve never really been taken with the idea though. I mean, who really wants to spend a car ride watching video that’s sub-par at best? I mean, if you’re not going to watch movies in hi-def, then you might as well pop in a VHS tape or something. Thankfully the people at Audiovox understand my plight, and have announced the AVDBR1 in-car Blu-ray…

As any Star Wars geek what super powers they would want to have, and I can bet that most will respond with �The Force.� (Yes, Wolverine’s healing factor might be a close second for me, but that’s beside the point.) Fortunately there is one way that we can at least pretend to have this awesome power. That’s right, I’m talking about the Mindflex game from Mattel. That’s old news though, so why am I bringing it up now? Well it…

HTML5 is the future of the web. I could spend a good while describing in detail why this new technology will change the way you use the internet, but instead I’ll just leave you with this gem. Next time you head over to YouTube to upload that video of your cat being cute, don’t bother clicking the �Upload Video� button. Rather, just take the video clip and drag it into the specified area. That’s all you need to do. Oh,…

Have you ever been to a LAN party? If so, you’ve probably worried about something getting swiped from your station when you’re in the bathroom or something. After all, with so many geeks crammed into one place, it would be easy for someone to just unplug your fancy keyboard or $100 mouse and make off with it. NZXT knows this, and they want to help. The Bunker is an inexpensive ($25) USB bay that actually locks down any device connected…

In this day and age, there’s really no excuse for hardware not to be cross-compatible. This is something that’s bothered me about Microsoft’s Zune player for a long time. It took the iPod a little over a year to get official support for Windows machines (a year-and-a-half if you count the release of iTunes for Windows). The Zune has been out since late 2006, and you still can’t connect one to a Mac. What’s up with that, Microsoft? Well, if…

There’s something about those little LEGO bricks that stand up to the test of time. Even as an adult, I love the opportunity to play with them. I always figured I’d outgrow such childish toys, but what can I say, I’m still a kid at heart. If you still share my love for them, you can now turn your iPhone 4 into a LEGO building surface. No, this isn’t an �officially licensed� LEGO product, but your little bricks will attach…
