Protecting the slabs of glass we carry around has become a focus of concern for the modern Gadgeteer. We have these devices – tablets, phones, phablets, whatever – and they only want to succumb to gravity and destroy themselves in a crash of broken glass and shattered dreams.

While not an electronic device, this kitchen item will appeal to the dragon-loving gadgeteers. The Dragon Cake Pan holds just a little less than 2 boxes of cake mix or a bundt cake mix. It’s molded to look like a scaly dragon curled around three eggs. The pan is made of heavy aluminum alloy, is

Opening my own Apple Watch Sport on Friday and watching other people’s unboxing videos made me realize something: not all charging stands introduced for the Apple Watch will work with all watchbands.
