They vie for space, and something usually has to go. This clever yet simple idea called Socket Sense from Ideative solves this problem by making the sockets adjustable and set at an angle so that you can stack your adapters for a perfect fit (though there may, of course, be exceptions if you''ve got one that''s truly ginormous). The surge strip with 6-foot power cord sells for $40 at ......... ]]> http://www.blogspan.org/blogs/permalinks/1-2008/baby-quasar-electronic-elixir.html http://www.blogspan.org/blogs/permalinks/1-2008/baby-quasar-electronic-elixir.html Thu, 24 Jan 2008 01:08:07 GMT Suckers for a quick-fix, we''ve featured a number of home healing, anti-aging products (Zeno, Marvel Mini, NuFace, etc.) however, another electronic elixir has made a striking debut. Baby Quasar uses Red and Amber light, both known to have powerful anti-inflammatory properties and promote Fibroblasts to increase the body''s production of collagen (the cheek and lip plumping stuff we lose as we age). ......... ]]> http://www.blogspan.org/blogs/permalinks/12-2007/geek-fill-in-the-blank-t-shirt.html http://www.blogspan.org/blogs/permalinks/12-2007/geek-fill-in-the-blank-t-shirt.html Sun, 16 Dec 2007 13:48:25 GMT Technology moves fast so you have to keep up, and this black write-on, ......... ]]> http://www.blogspan.org/blogs/permalinks/12-2007/voip-in-the-works-for-the-iphone-and-ipod-touch.html http://www.blogspan.org/blogs/permalinks/12-2007/voip-in-the-works-for-the-iphone-and-ipod-touch.html Thu, 13 Dec 2007 03:38:45 GMT Here's a double-whammy for Apple's buzz-generating smartphone and limited-functionality PDA. I'm not really sure how it works, but some hackers have managed to make the iPod Touch run some communications protocol called SIP. Apparently getting SIP to run on a device makes VoIP possible, and apparently this iPod Touch procedure is doable on the iPhone. This is honestly beyond the limits of my comprehension, as some low-level coding and modifications are necessary. Interested parties may check out the TUAW post on the subject. And to anyone who can explain things in layman's ......... ]]> http://www.blogspan.org/blogs/permalinks/12-2007/buying-a-projector-online.html http://www.blogspan.org/blogs/permalinks/12-2007/buying-a-projector-online.html Wed, 12 Dec 2007 00:24:33 GMT So you need to purchase a projector?

However, given this is coming from Japan, and I can't read Japanese, I have no idea if this Eye Power thing is real. The theory goes, you stare into this machine for 10 minutes and "ultrasonic technology" restores your myopic, near-sighted self to perfect 20/20 ......... ]]> http://www.blogspan.org/blogs/permalinks/10-2007/videos-from-your-computer-to-television.html http://www.blogspan.org/blogs/permalinks/10-2007/videos-from-your-computer-to-television.html Sun, 28 Oct 2007 03:27:41 GMT Take TV is a storage device from SanDisk Sansa whose specific purpose is to provide a simple, hassle-free way to take video files from your computer and watch them on your TV. Take TV is easy to use. Like a USB flash drive you plug it into you computer and transfer files onto it; you can also download TV Shows and movies directly from SanDisk's own video download site www.fanfare.com onto it. Once your files are on the device, you can place it on its TV docking station and use the included remote control to start playing your videos. ......... ]]> http://www.blogspan.org/blogs/permalinks/9-2007/firewire-reader.html http://www.blogspan.org/blogs/permalinks/9-2007/firewire-reader.html Wed, 05 Sep 2007 03:08:07 GMT Since the arrival of USB 2.0, FireWire, as a transfer medium, has lost some of its luster. The introduction of FireWire 800 helped its cause a bit, but only marginally. However, most of us have computers with FireWire ports in them, and we have something else: with the popularity of USB, we often have a dearth of USB ports to plug things into. So wouldn't it be handy to put that old FireWire port to good use with something like the Delkin FireWire CompactFlash Reader ......... ]]> http://www.blogspan.org/blogs/permalinks/7-2007/sony-network-walkman-nwd-b100.html http://www.blogspan.org/blogs/permalinks/7-2007/sony-network-walkman-nwd-b100.html Sat, 28 Jul 2007 22:32:00 GMT Sony has had this Network Walkman NWD-B100 in the works for a while, and they've finally released pics of it.

While it's true that my little girl would probably be an early adaptor like most of her peers anyway, I created a little gadget monster when I gave her all the new products to try out, from Blackberrys to the latest music products. See, I tried to give her my "old" Blackberry the other day but she bemoaned the lack of Bluetooth, camera, and music capabilities. No thanks, she said. She wants a Sidekick, but at $300, it's too ......... ]]> http://www.blogspan.org/blogs/permalinks/4-2007/financial-risks-of-nuclear-power-plants.html http://www.blogspan.org/blogs/permalinks/4-2007/financial-risks-of-nuclear-power-plants.html Wed, 04 Apr 2007 04:38:25 GMT Berkeley -- Enticed by the gleam of government subsidies, a number of companies are rushing to invest in nuclear power, expecting that new technology and safer reactors will make them as good an investment as other types of power plants. A new study appearing in the April 1 issue of the journal Environmental Science and Technology notes, however, that the country's history of unexpected cost overruns when building nuclear plants should sound a cautionary note for power companies that nuclear power may not be financially attractive........ ]]> http://www.blogspan.org/blogs/permalinks/3-2007/key-science-web-sites.html http://www.blogspan.org/blogs/permalinks/3-2007/key-science-web-sites.html Wed, 04 Apr 2007 04:38:25 GMT As more and more people are turning to the Internet to find information, important science websites are in danger of becoming buried in the sheer avalanche of facts now available online. Key science sites are failing to register in the top 30 Google search results. New research funded by the Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC) clearly shows that anyone using the Web to make their information available must now pay attention not only to the quality of their sites but also how easy they are to find........ ]]>
