Panda Speaker

It’s not just any panda speaker, it’s a panda HEAD speaker. BOOM.

Picture 32

Unlike the Giant Ear Bud speakers I spoke about last week. This speaker has one thing that surpasses those ginormous ear puds, and that my friends is, the cute factor.

The panda can connect to any computer via USB or directly to your MP3 player through a 3.5mm audio plug. And by simple turning the ears of our little friend can you adjust the volume and bass.

Review: Futura Gamer’s Desk from LapWorks

 
 
-Have you been to LAN parties where there wasn’t enough table/counter space to go around?
 
-Would you like to game on your laptop while sitting on the couch, but you don’t because it affects your performance?
 
-Do you use a phone book to get your laptop at the proper eye level and wish you had something better to work with?

  

Well the people at LapWorks developed several “LapDesks” (Desks that sit on your lap) that can be used in these situations.

I’m a gamer and work with a laptop on a daily basis. So I was thrilled back in July when I received one of these “LapDesks”.  Now that I’ve used it for several weeks, I can tell you all about it!

The LapDesk I tried out is called the Futura Gamer’s Desk (with Regular & Max MouzPad). It retails at $54.95 on the LapWorks website.

At first, I thought it was quite expensive for a few pieces of plastic but when I realized what I could do with them I changed my mind

First, it can be used as a portable desk that you can use almost anywhere. You just lay it on your lap and it can be used either to support a laptop or the keyboard and mouse of a desktop. You’ll be comfortably sitting in an ergonomic position and your performance will be as good as if you were sitting at a computer desk.

GDGTGdgt the new venture from Ryan Block and Peter Rojas has finally launched after being announced just under a year ago. It’s a little difficult to explain, it’s a kind of gadget community based around an impressive gadget database that users can add to and update. I’m sorry if that description doesn’t really do it justice but here’s the lovely Miss Belmont to explain it a little better:

Microsoft’s Zune HD

zune-hd-600-rm-eng12

Well damn.  Microsoft came out with something shiny, slick, and maybe better than the iPod touch.  Here’s a quick rundown of what Microsoft’s new Zune HD has:

  • HD Radio
  • HD video output (720p)
  • Touch screen
  • Accelerometer
  • Wifi
  • Xbox Live intergration
  • Comes out this fall

We, the PixelatedGeek crew, will be at E3 to get our grubby hands on it tell tell you how it feels and if it’s better than an iPod Touch. Of course we can’t compare it to an iPhone since the Zune lacks a cellular network.

Official Press Release after the break.

Blaster gets an upgrade – Transformers USB Hub

First it was the old Ravage turning from panther to a USB drive, now we have Blaster transforming from robot to a fake laptop with a real USB hub under it. I like this new trend of geek gadgets. If you want one, head over to this page and fork up the 3,980 yen.

Bullet Proof Bra

A new category for defensive clothing

A new category for defensive clothing

Bullet  proof bra, now that’s not something I thought I would type but the BBC is reporting that a 57 old woman from Detroit was saved by her bra from getting shot. The underwire deflected the bullet shot at her by a teenage gang who were breaking into the house next door and saw her through the window. The victim sustained injuries but was saved from serious injury through luck and a strong underwire.

Sgt Eren Stephens Bell told the Detroit News:

“We need to get some bulletproof vests made from that. It is some strong wire.”

The woman is said to recovering well from her ordeal. For the rest of us, maybe we should all start wearing underwired bras? I know people with moobs could sure use them!

Start up the Apple rumor train

With the World Wide Developers Conference (WWDC) coming to us fast, Apple rumors are starting up again.  You all know the drill.  Someone says something.  People think it’s real.  People HOPE it’s real. People hear the truth. People pay Steve for talking.  MacBlogz.com (i guess they are too cool for the letter “s”) has some starting rumors for us.

The only rumor we can be certain of is the release of Snow Leopard. rawr. What do you guys think will happen next year?
