Daaaamn… this Victor Multi-Kill Electronic Mouse Trap is serious business. Normally we prefer more humane, wired domes to cage our furry house guests as they grab for the rich dark-chocolate morsels that tempt the palate of elite city-mice. We then release them into wee puddle-boats with tiny parasols to enjoy a feast of truffles glazed […]

We’re not going to jump up on our “new media” pedestal and claim that Time Magazine is irrelevant or anything, but man, stick to what you know. Time’s gadget of the year list includes some commendable choices to be certain — but seriously, not a single industry re-defining netbook, multi-million selling iPhone […]

If you’re not a Netflix subscriber and aren’t interested in becoming one, please pardon yet another post about streaming content from the formerly DVD-exclusive renter — but for those non-Xbox owning, non-Live subscribing readers who want to get in on some HD Watch it Now action, we have some good news for […]

Like the i900 Omnia, eh? We sure did. Well here’s its prettier, smarter cousin tagged the T*Omnia. For the most part, it’s the same quad-band, WinMo 6.1 candybar with 7.2Mbps HSDPA data, WiFi, GPS, 5 megapixel cam, and nifty TouchWiz UI we’ve seen for months. But this hometown Korean version bumps the display […]

While not nearly as gnarly as Acrylic Cowboy’s inside-out case, the VENTO TA-F is probably more usable in most respects. ASUS’ new foldable PC chassis promises a 30% savings on storage and transportation, but alas, all that apparently goes away once you stock it full of internal components. At any rate, novice […]

We heard last week when Sprint launched the HTC Touch Pro at “select national retailers” that the device would be available online on November 2nd. Well, it’s November 2nd, and they’ve kept their promise. The base retail price of the QWERTY smartphone is $579.99, but an “instant savings” of $180 combined with a […]
