The Moldable Mouse Concept Device
via Gearlog by Brian Heater on February 04, 2008
Here's a good idea with questionable real-world applications: The Moldable Mouse. The ultimate response to the complaints of carpal tunnel syndrome issued against nearly every mouse that's ever been released, LiteOn's Red Dot Award-winning concept design conforms to your hand--or to just about any other shape you can imagine. The mouse is made of lightweight modeling clay housed...

Long and Stringy USB Stick
via Gearlog by Steven Volynets on February 06, 2008
Say hello to The Tornado - a PC to PC transfer device that lets you migrate pictures, music, videos, presentations, documents and all other files over and over again with multiple PCs.From what I can gather the plug-and-play Tornado is a solid-sate memory tool that works much like a regular USB stick. What makes it convenient is the ability to plug into two PCs at the same time via its two-ended...

T-Mobile Offers Wi-Fi "Land Lines"
via Gearlog by Sascha Segan on February 21, 2008
T-Mobile's Hotspot@Home is a good deal: if you're an existing T-Mobile subscriber, you get unlimited calls over Wi-Fi for $10/month. It's enough to make you want to ditch your land line, except for the somewhat slim selection of phones. Up until now, only the (awesome) Blackberry Curve and a couple of so-so mid-range Samsungs and Nokias have worked with the service.Enter the...

Video: The Lenovo X300, The Macbook Air and a Big Manila Envelope
via Gearlog by Brian Heater on February 21, 2008
We just got Lenovo's ultraportable X300 in at the PC Mag labs. Seen by many as a more sensible, business-oriented alternative to Apple's 1.6-inch thick Macbook Air, the X300 is a bit thicker than Apple's ultraportable--that's what you get for insisting on an internal optical drive.In honor of the infamous trick performed by Steve Jobs at the last Apple keynote, we attempt to...

Hands On: the Pinnacle PCTV HD Ultimate Stick
via Gearlog by Alan Henry on February 27, 2008
If you want to turn your PC into a DVR, there are a number of ways you could go about it. You could rebuild the system and run a native app such as MythTV or Windows Media Center, and you could install a TV tuner card to allow you to tune in to your favorite channels and record your favorite shows. Alternatively, you could leave your computer the way it is and pick up the Pinnacle PCTV HD...

Xbox Live Increases Video Library
via Gearlog by Carol Mangis on February 29, 2008
Watch out, Netflix and pay-per-view: You have some serious competition from the Xbox 360. Microsoft is reporting that video-on-demand monthly sales have been doubling month over month and are up more than 70 percent since last September. More important for videophiles is that much of the content available is high-definition, and the Xbox Live Marketplace Video Store now has a larger library of HD...

via Gearlog by Jen the Weird Hunter on March 25, 2008
You just had a baby, and now you're dying to know if the man you've been living with for the past year is the father. Or maybe it's your ex's baby... or your ex's brother's baby! Regardless, obtaining a DNA paternity test can take forever. First, you have to see the doctor, then involve a lawyer, and hundreds—if not thousands—of dollars later, you won't get...

Ditch Your Hoopty: Why You Need a New USB Thumbdrive
via Gearlog by Jeremy Kaplan on April 14, 2008
If you're a tech lover like me--and since you're reading a gadget guide by geeks, for geeks, you probably are--then it's a safe bet that you've been carrying around a hoopty too. I've carried the same USB thumbdrive on my keychain for about two years now. The cap doesn't fit, the plastic is worn down, and the design? It's basically a stick. But still, it's...
