If Heaven has an alarm clock, then surely it looks like this. (As we all know, alarm clocks are of-the-Devil and crafted by Satan’s minions in some vile sub-basement of Hell, so of course Heaven can’t possibly have them… but just go with me here.) No matter what your definition of cool, Sony’s ICF-CL75iP has to fit the bill. As long as Sony comes up with a better name for it before release, anyway.

What you’re looking at is an alarm clock, digital photo frame, and iPod/iPhone dock all in one oh-so-sleek package. It sports a 7″ color LCD screen, 1GB …read more

It’s officially official: as expected, Apple is hosting its annual iPod press conference/keynote/event/thing on September 9th. Mac fiends take note that you’ll want to set your timers for 10:am Pacific on that day, as every tech blogger in the universe will be live blogging from the event, which is set to be held at Yerba Buena Center for the Arts in San Francisco.

Invitations went out this morning to media, though they were sparse on details. It was pretty much just the image you see above, with the embedded “rock & roll” tagline, and the date and location listed. (Oh Apple, …read more

When we have finished eating instant cup noodle, we’ll throw away the cup. The cup is deemed disposable but can technology be disposed? iPod, cellphone, laptop, LCD, Nintendo DS and more geeky stuff can be discarded as seen from Kyle Bean.

In other words, these technology gadgets may regard as just wants and what’s important may be the people and love around you. Worth thinking eh?

iPod 3rd Generation Shuffle. Apple recently released the new Shuffle, the compact music player that doesn’t have a screen and has limited controls. I had a 2nd generation Shuffle for about 2 months before I decided that I needed something much bigger and better. I opted for the 80 gb iPod classic, which I have had for about 14 months and I love it.
Recently I came across a report on iLounge.com that said that there was a discussion in the Apple Forums that said that some iPod Shuffle 3g users were having issues with the new earphones that come with …read more

What I love about the iPod is the ridiculous amounts of cool accessories they make for it. There are various docks for connecting your iPod to your television, but now you can get it in HD with a great remote so you can access your iPod from your couch with it displayed on your HDTV. Digital Lifestyle Outletters or DLO manufactures the  DLO Homedock HD.
With devices like these transitioning the picture from the small iPod screen to a much larger screen I often wonder how much resolution is lost in the process. I imagine there has to be some kind …read more
