Steampunk CD Player
A popular practice at the moment is modifying today’s technology to give it a steampunk look. If you don’t know what this is, consider it 19th century science fiction. The ’steampunk’ look includes etched brass, lots of gears (doesn’t matter if they do something or not) and everything else that makes it look like it’s [...]
This just pisses me off
JVC has launched a new TV set at CES 2009. But that’s not what pisses me off. Take a closer look at it. Once again, someone assumed the iPod is the only portable media player in existence and choose to ignore everyone who isn’t willing to cough up an extra $100 for a player with [...]
Piano Gloves
With these gloves, you can play the piano without an actual piano. Well, at least that’s the idea. Each finger triggers a note, and you can switch octaves with the heel of your hand. Besides the piano, it also comes with guitar, trumpet and drum sounds. That is, of course, until someone hacks this thing [...]
Denon Smart 102
The Denon Smart 102 home theatre set does pretty much everything a compact all-in-one setup should do. It plays CDs and DVDs (with 1080p upscaling), has an optional iPod dock and USB port for playing MP3s. It also has a network connection for streaming audio. It’s only a 2.1 system, but my opinion about that [...]

Vinyl To CD Burner
One can wonder if this thing is really that usefull. Basically, it’s record player that rips records and can burn them on a cd without a computer. I can imagine you’d want something like this if you have a huge record collection you want to digitize, but let’s face it: after you’re done doing that, [...]
Harman Kardon Drive & Play
If you want to listen to your iPod in the car, there are several options. You could use an FM transmitter, wich is troubled by lots of interference. You could use a cassette adapter, but then you’d need a car stereo with a cassette player and those things are more or less dead. The best [...]
