I keep discovering all kinds of cool things at unicahome.com. The latest item that I stumbled on is a stainless steel food tasting utensil. On one end it’s a spoon and on the other end, it’s a fork. But the clever part of this kitchen ‘tool’ is that the fork side has a little hook

Microsoft has launched the new iteration of its search engine, oddly named “Bing” a little earlier than was rumored. I haven’t had a chance to put it through the paces, but, it does seem to pop results up very fast. Of course, that could be because no one is using it yet. :O But if

We’ve reviewed a few vibration style speakers here on the gadgeteer (example: the Free-D i-Ball). You know the type I’m talking about, they turn any flat surface into a sound board. In my experience, they tend to ummm… how can I put this nicely… They suck. Ok, that wasn’t very nice. But yeah. The KBox
Pete The Gadget Geek Stanley sent me a tip about this nifty digital photo frame called the Shake a Pix. It’s about the size of a credit card, has a built in USB connect to charge and transfer pix. But the cool feature is the fact that it has a built in motion sensor. To

I enjoy reviewing GPS photo tagging gadgets here on The Gadgeteer, so I will be interested to see how ATP’s latest PhotoFinder device compares to their previous models. They are hailing it as the answer to Sony’s GPS-CS3KA. The PhotoFinder Pro does sound like it has the upper hand due to the fact that it

Ok, it’s not really a can opener, but it looks like one. Sorta. Kinda. The Zipit is a motorized plastic clamshell package opener from ThinkGeek. It’s an interesting concept, but I think I still prefer the manual Zibra Open It shears. These might be good for people with poor hand strength though.
