BudTrap ensures your buds stay put, untangled

One added feature with any mp3 player that you really can’t go without is a pair of headphones/ear buds. While several models are now offering external speakers, with that number growing daily, for true private listening, some sort of headphones are required. With ear buds in particular, tangles and knots are something that become a daily occurrence as the constant shuffling inside of a bag, purse, or pocket cause your neatly wrapped ‘phones to become interwoven tangles of chaos. Thankfully a nifty little “gadget”, or in this case gadget accessory, the BudTrap will ensure that at least your earbud cables stay tangle free.

Electric Mini Cooper = Happy Drivers…Happy Planet

On board with the whole “green” movement are ya? Have a love for tiny cars too? Like to read? If you answered yes to any of these questions, you might want to add a new site to your daily readings. Peter Trepp is the first of 400 individuals who are receiving test E-Mini’s for a year. These electric powered Mini’s are so far so great that Peter has taken it upon himself to form a blog around his experience, “Plugged In with Peter’s Mini E”. The blog will cover his daily routine with the new gas saving Mini in his life. I for one hope he likes it as the privilege of doing so is costing him $850 per month. A bit pricey for such a small car. But, as with all things featuring bleeding edge tech, it costs money to be on that bleeding edge. So how does Pete feel so far about the experience?

Claim the covinent in RC fashion

While Halo isn’t quite the media sensation it once was a few short years ago, it is still none the less a major player in the Xbox world. It is bar none one of the most popular game franchises ever with an addicting game play that is hard to beat let alone replicate. If you are looking for some more “physical” ways to enjoy Halo and all of its addictive goodness, RC cars/copters might be your next best bet in making the game come alive for you. Thanks to BigBadToyStore.com, Halo parties can now become more physical and real. Starting in July with the Warthog, a mere $23.99 is all that is needed to start your own earthly Halo party. August will bring even more players to the party by way of the Mongoos, which will also sell for $23.00 and the Hornet, which will go for $38.99. These prices are actually pretty reasonable for such a slick set of toys modeled after video games. I guess the parties involved in collecting royalties have a heart and aren’t trying to price these things above many people. Good job. For those of you wondering, the Hornet actually does fly and they manufacturers even toss in two master chiefs on the Warthog. Sweet deal!

Electric Waverunner reminds you to save the planet, hug a sponge.

The green movement as of late has been unleashing an all out assault on the auto market with more and more automakers looking towards alternative fuels and electric power as the savior to our dying planet. However, other areas of the transportation market such as recreation vehicles like ATV’s and waverunners have been largely ignored as they are obviously a much smaller segment and burden on the environment than the millions upon millions of cars we have clogging the worlds roadways. However, now that the cars and their green problems are being actively worked on, environmentalists, tree huggers, and now even sponge huggers need something new to tackle – personal watercraft. What is a water loving adrenaline junkie to do?

“Cybersecurity Czar” to be created/appointed by Obama – given large freedoms – say goodbye to privacy?

When you hear the words “Cybersecurity Czar”, what do you think of? Do you think of some nice older guy sitting at a computer desk sifting through countless emails and stack of paper? Or, do you think of some greedy lifelong politician who cares more for his pocket than the outcome of his decisions? Both are possibilities with Obama’s suspected latest creation at the White House – a Cybersecurity Czar.

Solar juice coming to mobile devices everywhere sooner rather than later?

A gadget lover no doubt has a deep hate for power outlets and power cords as they confine them, stifling their mobile freedom. Sharp on the other hand understands these deep feelings of hate and malice towards corded living and is announcing plans to start mass production on their “mini-solar panel” by June 10th. Production goals are currently hovering around 100,000 per month meaning a worldwide rollout won’t be super fast. However, the size, (67.5 x 41.0 x 0.8 mm), coupled with the ability to generate up to 300mW is certainly something to be intrigued about. A mere 0.8mm thick solar panel is something that should definitely shake up the mobile industry and bring some new found freedom to us gadget lovers and mobile professionals alike. Excited?

Neu Theme for Blackberry 83xx, 89xx and 9xxx devices is smooth, slick, and downright amazing!

Blackberry theme hunters searching for the perfect theme that blends style, sophistication, and functionality all into one package can now call of the search. In what is probably one of the nicer and more put together themes I have seen in a small while, Neu for Blackberry brings a very nice subtle yet expressive look to your Berry that is striking. A co-op piece designed by lilholashaka, MaxThemes, and Ninja Please, Neu brings a sense of quality and fit-n-finish that speaks highly of the involved parties. Words are really pointless, all you can do is just stare at all that it is. The only thing I could think of that the theme lacks and sadly will keep me from using it full time is the fact that there aren’t custom underlays meaning 3rd party icons stick out like a sore thumb. I know I can toss them in a folder which has it’s own matching icon, but I really don’t want to do that and I’m sure their are at least a few other Crackberry users out there who feel the same. Could we get that added please? Doing so would put the Neu theme over the top.

The theme comes in many different styles for various devices. Perhaps the greatest feature of this theme is the price – FREE! Pictures and download links are right inside.
