The USB Rechargeable Shaver is probably one of those rare gadgets that combine personal hygiene and USB technology, in this case it doesn’t matter if the read/writing speed is good, the USB version (1.1 or 2.0) isn’t important either.
As it always happens with USB related products, there is a LED light to indicate if the shaver is being recharged or not, there is also a smart USB plug that can rotate to make the device more compact in size and format.
On top of the other seven digital frames we already mentioned there is a new one that really grabbed my attention, just like a fireman grabs a person when he/she is about to fall off a building – both situations are similar and have the same feeling.
Anyway, enough with gibberish talk and moving on to the digital frame of the day – the PictureBook Digital Photo Album:
All the other digi frames we previously talked about had one similar feature which is the lack of big storage capacity, therefore consumers could only put like 60 or 80 photos on a frame, sometimes less. The scenario changes when using the PictureBook, since it is suppose to work as an album it has a hard-drive with 40GB, can you imagine the number of photos you can insert in it? I can’t, but the producers/designers (read Brookstone) talk about storing over 20,000 photos.

Most gamers take some time when perusing a certain type of genre before they can come up with a control scheme that they are most comfortable with, and this scenario more often than not occurs within the realm of PC gaming as compared with console games that have a limited amount of buttons and joysticks. A different placement of keys or a slight shift from the familiarity of your button configuration could mean an end game result that favors your opponent. Thankfully, we have ThinkGeek who delivers the Frag Pedal for PC gamers, offering the use of our legs to free up at least a key or two on the keyboard while fragging away.
Sometimes while surfing the great dragnet of news that we call the Internet, there occasionally surfaces a piece of news that is too good to keep to ourselves, and hence the need to express it for our dear readers. For instance, a toy pole dancer has been yanked off the shelves by Marks & Spencer within a week after a number of prudish and angry shoppers filed their complaints regarding the impropriety of such a toy for the upcoming holiday season.
Imagine a long weekend ahead of you, and all that you want to do is to take a long drive out of town and pitch a tent in some remote area in order to get away from the hustle and bustle of the city. Unfortunately, your currently lifestyle is too tangled up with electronics to warrant a divorce from gadgets even when you take a sabbatical away from civilization, which means you will have to learn to conserve energy in these devices as asking Mr. Bear’s permission to borrow his power outlet is definitely out of the question. Thankfully, we have to sun to help us out in such situations and it is devices such as the SolarPort 4.4 that make outdoor activities an enjoyable moment without worrying about your digital camera running out of juice at the most inopportune moment.
Remember the good old days when a sound card was considered to be a luxury purchase? While your friends with Sound Blasters or Sound Blaster Pros managed to eke out just about double the fun piloting an X-Wing with all the explosions and screams of TIE fighters ringing around in a dogfight, you had to endure the cold, stony silence of keyboard taps and joystick button clicks. Come to think of it, that’s how it was supposed to be anyway. Space is a vacuum, and we all know that sound doesn’t travel through vacuum. I digress - sound cards have since come a long way and today, most motherboards come with integrated sound cards, but if you want to go one up on the generic integrated soundchip, why not plug in this USB-powered Virtual 7.1 Channel Sound Adapter?
Personally, I don’t mind the clump of cables that sit under and around my desk. My tangled USB cords for my iPod, mouse, PSP, printer, and probably something else just sit around, completely tangled, and it doesn’t bother me a bit. For some reason, people can be irked by this messiness and want more stylish means of hooking all their gadgets up. Designed by someone named Ora-lto, the LaCie Hub will give you one nice looking USB & Firewire hub.

For the fans of the Optimus Keyboard it is not shocking to see a keyboard that has editable images on the keys that change with the software being used, but to people unfamiliar with the device it can be a good shocking experience. To get that effect to last longer I present you the Optimus mini 3, it is like a twin brother of the keyboard but like the name suggests, it’s only a mini with three keys.
There are plenty of features you can create with the 3 keys, besides being able to assign an image (animated or not) to each key, you can still do the following:
