Late at night in the toilet of a bar...

Did I drink to much or is this just a very fancy toilet?

NAS at home: 3Tb

MvixUSA has build the MvixBox, for only $299, excluding drives, you get a nice little home server. Just add two 1.5Tb drives and you can store some of your favorite series in full HD quality. They should have build an expandable version since my 3Tb will have no space left by the end of the year.

A4 e-Paper

There are already some e-readers on the market; but they are very small compared to a regular Letter or A4 sized piece of paper. Moreover: there is no color. Samsung found a solution.

NFC based picture frame

There seems to be an endless supply of picture frames, some of them are indistinguishable and some of them actually have some features which are quite nice. This frame has NFC options enabling you to transfer an image to the frame just by holding your phone in close proximity (an inch or lees), ain't that sweet.

Where do gadgets eat?

Our personal power hungry hoard of gadgets has found their own personal hotel to juice up: "The Sanctuary". Connects a lot of devices to the power grid and only one cable goes into the box.

Cooking without paper

So I like to cook. I like the smell of the cookbooks and the spots, fingerprints and stains in it from previous attempts to impress the guests. I have to give up on all that but I consider it a minor drawback since I really like this device.

Note: this could be one of those "I like it for one week and never use it again" gadgets, we'll see, still want one though.

Small, smaller, smallest

There is a lower-limit for notebooks. The iKIT just crossed it, however the iKIT should appeal to a young mad-for-texting audience.

Oil Cooled PC goes to market

A few years back only a handful of people had the time to build an oil cooled fanless PC. Now this 'technology' is soon to be readily available.
