Mini E Scooter users smartphone as ignition key.

Starting your car or other type of mechanical transport machine in 2010 requires some kind of key, numbered code, or simple key fob w/ embedded sensor. The rides of tomorrow — smartphones. This Mini Scooter E concept by BMW has a docking station that allows smartphones to be used not only to start the device, but also navigate it as well. It’s fitting seeing as how a huge number of smartphones come standard with at least some form of basic GPS capabilities. ...

What the hell Ubisoft, Blizzard gets it. “DRM is a losing battle…”

What the hell Ubisoft, Blizzard gets it.  “DRM is a losing battle…”

We rag on Ubisoft pretty hard here. But it isn’t without merit. Ubi’s blind love for customer slaying DRM is disgusting and shameful. All the while Ubi goes on proclaiming how great it is for consumers and how much we love it….right. Blizzard on the other hand understands customers (and Ubi’s customers no less) as the company has come forward stating that they will be taking a different approach… Ubisoft sought out to tackle piracy in the...

$34k burning a hole in your pocket? Ya, thought not. For some however, that lump of cash can cause quite a bit of pain after a little while. Poor them. After dropping $200k+ on an Aston Martin Raptide (the greatest car on the planet I might add), that spare $34k could be seen not only as a pocket weight, but a burden as well. Luckily, the wealthy never have a shortage of options. If you are one person lucky enough to own one of the finer vehicles on this planet,...

For those who just can’t be bothered: The LOL Keyboard.

For those who just can’t be bothered: The LOL Keyboard.

The fast paced way of life demands more and more from us each and every day. It seems society as a whole tries to cram in just one more thing into whatever spare seconds we have. When it gets down to it, some people may not even have time to type out full words and sentences, resorting to characteristic text message language such as LOL and BTW among others. Even then, some people are finding themselves strapped for time. For those individuals, I have the tool just for...
