  • Tokyoflash Kisai RPM Acetate Watch: No Hands, But Plenty of LEDs

    Tokyoflash just announced a limited acetate version of the Kisai RPM, which was a reader-submitted design turned into reality back in November. Although the large blank face still looks a bit odd in my taste, at least this watch is easier to read than Tokyoflash’s usual crop. Read more @ Technabob

  • Xi3 ChromiumPC Runs Chrome OS in a Tiny Box

    From some reason, I like small desktop computers, not that I have one, but I find the concept useful and want to have them everywhere so that I can slave them into some kind of personal mini-botnet. The ChromiumPC is a modular computer and is the first “desktop” designed to run Google’s Chrome OS. Read…

  • NVIDIA Wired 3D Glasses: Cheaper, But Does Anybody Still Want 3D?

    NVIDIA just announced the launch of these new wired 3D Vision glasses, which are supposed to be more cost effective than their 3D Vision active shutter glasses.

  • Fujitsu Lifebook Frame Concept: Too Wide for Its Own Good?

    I get that widescreen tablets might work for some people, but ultimately, their proportions make them harder to do anything but watch movies on them. Still, this widescreen portable concept looks interesting. As with some of the other concepts in the ‘A Life with Future Computing‘ designboom curated Fujitsu competition, it showcases some interesting features.…

    There was a time when I tried living without a wallet, and after losing a few important cards, I quickly reverted to carrying one again. This QWERTY leather wallet is certainly distinctive with its keyboard embossing and will serve all geeks well. Read more @ Technabob
