Many radios go for the obvious dials that you’re used to twisting and turning. Some go as far as to use buttons and things along those lines. Well this Q2 Cube Radio goes for a slightly different angle. Instead of being covered in useful knobs, it allows for you to control it by how you move the cube itself. If you like having things to toy with, this radio might be enough to keep you entertained.
Boredom is a dreadful thing, so you should always find ways to get rid of it. Thankfully, Think Geek is always around to rescue geeks from being sucked into a bland dark place in their mind. Now you can spend your days strumming on a fake guitar on your shirt. It has all the major chords and plays them out loud for all the world to hear. Whether they like it or not.
Apparently, some experts claim that having your kid in the womb listen to music (especially classical music) is great for their mental development, giving them a head start before they pop out of the womb. Doesn’t explain how we get child prodigies like Mozart in the past when there was no such thing though, leading me to believe that this is more or less hogwash and is some sort of marketing tool instead. Still, if you’re adamant on making sure your yet-unborn kid will be the next world genius, the Lullabelly Prenatal Music Belt might be your cup of tea as it retails for $49, or $55 if you want a pair of packaged headphones to filter out what junior is listening to.

I believe that it was Henry David Thoreau who wrote in Walden: “Out life is frittered away by detail…Simplify, simplify, simplify!” Of course, if he really wanted to take his own advice, he would have written “simplify” only once.
One of the things in life that really need to be simplified is our desktops. Many of us have all sorts of accessories to our PC like memory card readers and iPods, and the Simplifi is designed to take up a lot less real estate on the desk.
The Simplifi is clad in anodized aluminum, and attaches to the computer via USB. Fortunately, no software is required, and my computer recognized it right away.
Instead of coming out with tons of fancy new models to add to their iHome collection, iHome is just adding a new finish for their old players. This one to make their various iPod docks appeal to a much younger crowd. Also a much younger very female bunch. The ones that still love those tiny plastic Barbie shoes and find Ken’s bright white smile to be absolutely dreamy. Thankfully they come in a range of sizes and prices to appeal to any parent’s budget.
If you’re on the lookout for a gift for a young girl that loves her music, then these little speakers are made just for teen girls. Of course they’ll work just as well for a female of any age that enjoys her share of pink gadgets. These speakers are small enough that they’ll be easy to keep on hand whenever you need a little portable music.
Sony will be working hand in hand with Netflix in order to make available thousands upon thousands of movies and TV episodes from Netflix to be streamed straight onto TVs as long as your living room (or wherever else that you’re most comfortable with to be entertained) has some room for a PS3 console. This streaming service from Netflix will be made available to the PS3 from November onwards for free, but bear in mind this is limited to just folks living in the US as other people outside of the country will have to settle for what they have currently. It does make us wonder though – will this move see an increase in PS3 sales just to take advantage of such a feature? After all, the console does already come with a very attractive price point at this moment in time.
With the PS3 system’s installed base having reached a near 9 million units Stateside, it has a critical mass for Netflix to explore this segment, where they themselves have 11.1 million U.S. subscribers as of September 30. Apart from playing the latest games in High Definition, PS3 owners will also have a plethora of other entertainment options made available to them including watching Blu-ray movies, listening to music, viewing photos, browsing the Internet and downloading content straight from PlayStation Network. Throw instant streaming services from Netflix and you have a likely winner here.
All you need to do is fork out a low monthly fee of just $8.99 as long as you’re a Netflix member, where you can then instantly watch unlimited movies and TV episodes streamed to your TVs and computers through the use of Netflix ready devices including the PS3, having a virtually unlimited number of DVDs delivered to your home without having to involve the post office or burden the environment even more. If you’re a Netflix member and PS3 system owner, you will be able to reserve a free instant streaming disc for PS3 systems by heading here. Upon availability, the instant streaming disc will be delivered without having to fork out a penny via first-class mail.
There are a great deal of designers trying to hide your speakers in other devices or at least making it so that they blend in with the rest of your décor. Yet this designer has gone for a slightly different angle, they’re making the speakers a feature of sorts. For once it’s not done in a bad way either. The speakers built into the table somehow give the table an extra edge that it would not have had without them.
