Piet Hein Drink Cooler

Amazon.com Widgets
Your tasty beverage is warm, so what do you do? Reach into the freezer and grab an ice-cube or three. Plonk. Swirl. Cold again. But, as you circulate through the crowd, body-heat warms your drink. The ice melts, and you’re left again with a warm, and now watered-down, beverage. This is [...]

Big Round of Funding For RockYou

We’re getting reports from multiple sources (but no confirmation from the company yet) that photo widget company RockYou has raised a big round of financing. The unconfirmed numbers are $10+ million at a $50+ million valuation, which is in line with what competitor Slide raised late last year. The company had previously raised $1.5 million [...]

Logitech Harmony 1000 - review

The Logitech Harmony 1000 is the latest and coolest remote control from Logitech available at this point. The remote features a small touch screen (3.5 inch) that displays different menu screens for each function but the fact that you have to look at the remote display all the time makes it a bit hard to [...]

Just before the weekend several sites mentioned that a keygenerator for Windows Vista activation had seen the sunlight for the first time. Reports today states that the developer behind the brute force activation hack has admitted that the program doesn’t work.

I’ve been hard on ChaCha, the new search engine that pairs users with a human guide to help them find better results (see this TechCrunch Forum thread as well). I was supposed to meet with the CEO of the company earlier this week but missed the appointment due to the flu. I really want to [...]

Filed under: Retail, Apple

A little TUAW birdie tipped us off to an Apple Store on its way to the Park Meadows Mall in Lone Tree, CO. This action shot was snapped in the mall, which is actually a bit surprising when considering Apple’s typical M.O. about new store locations.
This will become Colorado’s 5th Apple Store, [...]

Disk Makers’ ReflexBlu Blu-ray burning towers

Filed under: Blu-ray, Recorders

We’ve seen a couple of these “Blu-ray factory-in-a-box” setups already, but thought we’d run another set by you just in case you missed the first wave. The ReflexBlu2 and ReflexBlu4 go for $3000 and $5000, respectively, and can burn Blu-ray, DVD-R and CD-R discs. ReflexBlu2 does up two Blu-ray discs per hour, [...]

National Geographic HD showing up on DirecTV ch 77?

Filed under: Satellite
It has been quite a drought for HD fans who subscribe to DirecTV and while DirecTV has made big promises for 2007, it would be nice if they added a new HD channel before the new birds go up later this year. It appears that it just might be happening, a few DirecTV [...]

Logitech Harmony 1000 review roundup

Filed under: Remotes
The Harmony line for Logitech has continued to please, and based on the reviews of the latest addition to the family, the 1000 is no different. The reviews raved about the performance for the price and we can see why: $499 for a touch screen remote certainly sets it apart from its competitors. [...]
