USB Easter Egg Lights

by Ally - on February 28, 2010

Well, Valentine’s Day has passed and we’re onto the next holiday.  It wouldn’t be a holiday if it didn’t come with a few ridiculous gadgets that you never knew you needed.  These USB lights might just look like over-sized Christmas lights, but they are in fact brightly colored Easter eggs.  I have a sneaking suspicion that they probably pass them off as Christmas lights when it’s December though.

The Lightsaber USB Drive

by Ally - on February 25, 2010

If you’re looking for something a little more awesome to store your small files on, thankfully Think Geek is always there to rescue you.  Instead of going after some gray USB drive, get something that’s modeled after one of the most famous fictional weapons.  Sure, it won’t be full sized and it won’t hurt anyone, much less kill them.  It will at the very least make sure to keep your data safe though.

CardScan Personal

by Mark R - on February 23, 2010

Every time that I go to conferences, like CES, I always come home with a stack of business cards. Then it becomes a matter of getting all of the information from my contacts into the computer, usually entering it in by hand.

You can imagine how long that this process takes. However, I had a chance to try it the CardScan Personal, and found it to be a very great timesaver.

Of course, this wasn’t a simple plug and play feature like the Adesso Browser Cat. No, I knew from the get-go that there would be some lengthy software downloads, and there was. Eventually, it gave the order for me to hook it up to my computer via USB.

When it asked for the first scan, I simply grabbed one of my many business cards at random. It scanned it in seconds, and I had my contact information in digital form.

Adesso Browser Cat

by Mark R - on February 23, 2010

Many of you know that I cannot stand to use the touchpad, but I know that there are a lot of you out there who never bring a mouse with you when you are working on your touchpad laptop.

I am assuming that the Adesso Browser Cat is made for those who just have to have the touchpad, but it isn’t on their PC keyboard. That, or those who don’t have a touchpad on their laptop. (Are there any laptops that don’t have this touchpad feature these days?)

The Browser cat is different than most touchpads as it has a specially marked place for the vertical scrolling. With the proper drivers installed, it can also do horizontal scrolling as well. The only other feature that makes it different from a regular touchpad is a specially designated area to designate a right click.

MintyBoost USB Charger Kit v2.0

by Ally - on February 21, 2010

If you enjoy any types of candy that come in little tins, then you probably toss away a lot of the tins.  Sure, you can use one or two for storage, but sometimes it’s hard to find a use for them.  Thankfully MakerShed has released a kit to allow for you to change your old tins into a USB charger for your various USB gadgets.  At least it’ll make for one less tin sitting in a landfill.
