55-in-1 Bluetooth Card Reader & Hub – too many cards, not enough time

The DTech 55–in-1 Bluetooth Card Reader & Hub. Sorry, I refuse to believe that we live in a world with 55 memory card formats. Nope, don’t care what you say. Not listening. Talk to the hand. Anyhoo, this puppy comes with a Bluetooth dongle so you can connect your BT devices to your computer, as well as a pretty measly 2 USB ports. As someone who currently has two – count ‘em – 7 port USB hubs in full time occupation,…

Kohler SoundTile Speakers – rockin’ your shower since 1873 baby

Darth Vader Phone – let the voice be with you

The Darth Vader Phone. Love ‘em or hate ‘em, you’ve got to admit that the Star Wars franchise – and boy is it a franchise – really does mean business. It never lets up, does it? And here’s the latest in the collection. A normal (!) home phone which plays the Imperial Death March every time a call comes in. Da-da-de-da-da-de-da-da-de-dum. Personally I’d hook it up to a Magic Ringtone and have it play Judy Garland instead, but what do…

Icron WiRanger Wireless USB Hub – convenient computer cool

Icron’s WiRanger Wireless USB Hub is a great bit of tech by the looks of it, but at a pretty steep price. The product offers 4 USB sockets which are connected at USB 2.0 speeds via WiFi (802.11g) which makes for a very nice alternative to the usual cable tangle USB experience. But to sell it for $395.00 is maybe a bit too far? Nevertheless, fab tech.  The WiRanger is the world’s first wireless USB 2.0 Hub, combining Icron’s patented ExtremeUSB technology and…
