If you honestly think that pictures of your cat warrant 256-bit AES hardware encryption, then the upcoming Crypteks flash drive will finally put your mind at ease.

This ridiculously over-engineered USB stick features a Dan Brown certified (don’t quote us on that) cryptex lock made from ultra-high-grade aluminum to keep that nosey spouse from prying into your files.

I designed the Printrbot to be the simplest 3D printer yet. There are some great kits out there - the Makerbot, the Ultimaker, the Prusa Mendel, and others - but none as small and simple as the Printrbot.

This all-in-one 3D printer kit can be assembled and printing in a couple of hours. Other kits will not only take you many more hours to build, they will also have hundreds more parts, and they will cost more.

My design also does away with the finicky calibration and adjustment from which most 3D printers suffer. This is the printer a kid could put together.

In a rather bold statement, Sony has said that it aims to take the second position in the Tablet market after Apple by the end of the year. The statement surprisingly comes from a company which has no presence in the flourishing Tablet arena.

WIll this tablet skyrocket it to #2?

While it never saw the light of day, we can still appreciate it’s beauty.

While laptops are great for portability, many users out there often complain that it causes all sorts of neck strain, probably because of the way the monitor is angled. With that in mind, a designer has come up with a new design for the a laptop, one that allows the monitor to be raised and angled, allowing for the user to have a much more comfortable viewing experience when using the laptop. There is also a kickstand at the bottom of the laptop, allowing the keyboard to be raised slightly, so that your wrists wont’ be too strained either.

Interview with Chuck Lepley at Orbotix about their robo ball of fun: Sphero!

Sphero is a highly sophisticated robotic ball – that can be controlled through mobile devices.

The possibilities for gameplay are virtually endless. One minute you can be using Sphero Drive to race Sphero against friends and the next minute you can be swinging your smartphone to “hit” Sphero in a round of Sphero Golf.

With our open API, developers can even create their own apps for Sphero – so future games and applications for Sphero will only grow.

Instead of connecting to a traditional monitor or USB keyboard, the Froot features a pair of projectors – one that casts the keyboard on a tabletop, and the other one that projects the computer screen on the wall. Besides the small projection hump in the middle, the left-hand side contains the ports, and the right has a slot-loading DVD drive.
