L’Oreal recently ran a TV ad campaign in the UK for its new hair care product “INOA”, suggesting that its funkily-named coloration product is altogether better than any existing system. Maybe it is, but to a music-appreciating tech geek, the comparisons fall a little flat. Take a look: (Hopefully that video is still there, though [...]
Lightsaber MP3 player for Star Wars fans who don't need features
Posted on January 4, 2010 Written by 1 Comment
If being a fan of Star Wars merchandise is more important than the actual functionality of those products, then the official lightsaber MP3 player could be just what you’re looking for. Low on features (plays music in the order it’s stored on a memory card) but high in visual appeal, it’s 8cm (about 3 inches) [...]

Touch DJ: budding music mixers, grab your iPhone
Posted on November 18, 2009 Written by 3 Comments
Are you a budding DJ? I remember taking every opportunity I had, regardless of what hardware or even music I had around me, to create “proper” mix tapes and voiceovers. I’ve even DJed a few private parties, though I’m certainly no Armin Van Buuren. I just love having the ability to mix together music and [...]

I just came from the theatre; watched Watchmen. I am ashamed to say that I have never read the graphic novel but that didn’t stop me from watching the movie. After all, everyone says that they pretty much stuck to the story so it’s about the same. Aside from the awesome cinematics and effects, I [...]
Nut Media Player

This could be one of the smaller but at the same time more ridiculous media players and certainly deserves a place in our Dept. of WTF. The ‘nut’ can be controlled with just one button. Plug in the earphones and it will start automatically, unplug them to stop listening. Where have I heard last method [...]
