Detectnu GPS/GSM Jammer. It was inevitable really, that with the maturing of GPS technology, would come the rise of the anti-tech. This puppy, for example, plugs into your car lighter and will jam all GPS sat-nav signals within a radius of 50 metres and GSM phone signals within 20 metres. Fun at the traffic lights, eh? No idea of price or availability, though. The RJ-G1575 GPS Jammer from Radixon Hadrian is a much more serious bit of kit and will…

So UWB (Ultra Wideband) USB Adapters have started shipping in Japan, eh? Right. Did anyone ask us whether we were ready to scatter wireless USB peripherals around our homes and offices?

Tsk.  The hub is a four port wireless design that can seamlessly replace USB connections with a wireless one, allowing devices like printers, scanners, external hard drives and more to be placed anywhere…

The Stardom ST3620-B2 1.5TB Hard Disk Caddy System. We’re not sure what’s more unbelievable. That we’re talking 1.5 terrabytes of storage sitting on your desk, or the fact that it’s all held on removable caddies, which means that you’ve basically got infinite storage next to your elbow. Priced at a mainframe bustin’ £649.99. Good luck backing it up though, eh?  The ST3620-B2 is set up in a JBOD mode. JBOD stands for ‘Just a bunch of disks’, which allows the two disks…

The Amfibidiver amphibious submarine. Never saw production unfortunately.  So he conceived a boat that that could drive itself off the trailer, along the road and into the water whilst carrying larger quantities of air and equipment than any diver could carry. His dream boat could travel to the dive area like a speedboat and then literally … pull the plug out and dive. Whilst dived, it had to be able to cruise around underwater until he found the right area,…

The Mvix MV-5000U Media Center with FM. It’s another day and so another media center peeps. This puppy has one novel feature, however, because it incorporates an FM transmitter to beam sounds to the nearest radio tuner. They’re saying that this makes it ideal as a media player for your car.
