Beatles Rock Band release day will also be D-Day for Beatles remastered albums

I remember being stoked about the announcement of The Beatles: Rock Band game that will be released on September 9. Being a longtime fan of the The Beatles I knew that this was a game that I will want to have. What made the game doubly interesting is that the songs in the game will be remastered versions of the originals. As Beatles fans well know, The Beatles catalogue has yet to be given a remastering treatment. The closest we got was the Love Soundtrack for the Cirque de Soleil show. It has remained unreleased up to now despite a clamor from fans. But that wait is now over. Apple Read more »

Spy Camera Sunglasses

You know you were born in the 80s if… Is this line familiar? I saw a note on Facebook this week that ran along these lines.

One of the things that I remember from my childhood is the ultimate sunglasses for men (though my peers were but boys, they loved this idea to death). While I have not come across the real deal as of yet, here is a good enough substitute: spy camera sunglasses. Read more »

Watch-style USB 4-port hub. Does data, not time-telling

If you thought the Mr.Gadget 1GB USB 2.0 Executive Watch in our 10 Crazy and Weird USB Sticks post was taking things – marrying watches and USB – too far, then you’d better look away now because here’s another one. This one doesn’t even have a fancy name – it’s just a watch-style USB 4-port hub. Let’s face it (err, sorry) this gadget definitely does exactly what its product description says. Oh, except it’s totally useless as a watch. Take a closer look at that picture and you’ll see the roman numerals I, II, III and IV simply mark out each USB port. Read more »
