05.11.2009It is easy to overlook the Mvix Nubbin Wi-Fi adapter
The new Mvix Nubbin Wi-Fi adapter is so tiny that you will have a tough time getting it back once you have misplaced it. And apparently, it is the world’s smallest Wi-Fi adapter as well, with a protrusion of just around 2cm from the USB port. The Nubbin is capable of delivering data at 150Mbps and supports 802.11n (and 802.11b/g), USB2.0 and high encryption standards (WEP 64/128, WPA, WPA2). To complete the pretty picture, the little fella fits in easy with your wallet too. At just $39. Via The Gadgeteer. Posted by kanchana

05. 4.2009Dell Studio One 19: Tactile TitillationFor months, Japan has gotten to play with Dell's latest desktop, the Studio One 19 All-in-One. But now Europe and the states get to join in on the fun. Made out of aluminum, glass, and fabric and sporting one measly power cord, the Studio One looks so good you just have to touch it which is exactly what Dell wants you to do.

04.30.2009Mr Brightside keyboard light is your light in shining armor
Imagine being in such a dark environment that the keys on your laptop keyboard are really difficult to perceive and you wished earnestly for a source of light to keep you going. Honestly, though we don't see such desperateness ever arising (your laptop display already lights up the keyboard well enough, remember ?), this little USB light called Mr Brightside can put a focus light right on top of your laptop keyboard. The light plugs into your USB port and juts out at a right angle to illuminate the keyboard. Its flexible neck allows for easy angle adjustment. Each individual light costs $9 and a pack of three would be not only be cheaper at $20, but could also be hooked up to different USB ports to provide more light in case you are not satisfied with the intensity of one - quite like a floodlit football match. Jokes apart, Mr Brightside could prove an ideal partner on a camping trip or if you have the bad habit of working in the dark. Via Coolest Gadgets. Posted by kanchana

04.14.2009The weirdness of computer-human interaction
Computer-human interaction can be weird. So maybe it's reasonable that some of the ideas on display at the recent Computer-Human Interaction 2009 conference were a bit strange too, or at least strange-looking. Technology Review has a roundup here. A sampling: But, trust me, it's weird. Posted by Tam

04. 6.2009The computer keyboard goes funky with the Keybag
What is black, white, pink or red and holds an arrangement of buttons with single alphanumeric characters engraved on them? You said a colored computer keyboard, huh? Easy enough, but you ain't quite there yet. Technology and fashion borrow ideas from each other so often that it's almost impossible to guess at first glance whether, for example, a compact kit is really a makeup accessory or a chic cell phone in disguise. In this spirit of artistic inspiration, the Keybag by Portugese designers Joao Sabino Studio is a tribute to the faithful old computer keyboard. It is a lady's handbag made of plastic keyboard keys on the outside, with a nylon lining on the inside. And a total of 393 keys are used for each bag measuring 30 x 22 x 50 cm, if you must know. The multi-purpose handbags are available in the normal keyboard black and white or the more sporty pink and red colors. Our verdict - looks totally funky for a geeky girl's night out and is bound to get you attention, but is probably to be avoided during mundane expeditions like shopping simply because it looks to be fairly heavy even without the addition of your purchases. As always, art doesn't come cheap - even if it is only a keyboard, in essence. The black and white versions are available at $175 while the pink and red versions are priced at $195. Via designboom.

04. 3.2009The Turtle USB hub can be your geeky pet
Though it stumps me as to why we like to surround ourselves with computer peripherals that resemble animals, I would like to make a little argument in favor of the Turtle USB hub simply because of the fact that it looks rather sincere (and lovable) as it lies on the desk, faithfully connected to the PC. And I am perhaps also subconsciously inspired by the fact that all turtles represent the idea of endurance, living out hundreds of years as symbols of calm and poise. Well, to cut out the poetry, the Turtle USB hub is a cleverly designed 4-port USB hub with the USB ports hidden within the limbs of the e-reptile. The shell is functional as well, and can be lifted up to store away the tiny items on your desk such as paper clips, post-it notes, and so on. A handy contraption that also looks good on your desk. Head on to USBFever.com to get your turtle at $13.99. Via Pocket-lint. Posted by kanchana

04. 2.2009Dell Adamo laptop: Love at first sight?Dell's latest laptop is shooting for the high end market with its latest offering. Complete with a snazzy website featuring beautiful models looking blase and a forgettable, mind-numbing track on an endless loop, the Dell Adamo is definitely a looker. Decked out in a machined aluminum chassis, with a mix of brushed and glossy facing, Adamo is available in Pearl or Onyx.
The name Adamo is latin meaning to "fall in love with" and looking at the specs, it’s easy to see why. Sporting a waifish .65 inch profile, weighing in at four pounds, the ultra-thin Adamo makes size 0’s jealous. The keyboard is a backlit, scalloped deal, making for a unique look and a nice typing experience. The view just gets better with the 13.4 inch widescreen 16:9 HD display with an integrated 1.3 megapixel web cam and edge to edge glass. But Adamo still packs a decent punch in the power department with an Intel Core 2 Duo Processors with Centrino technology under the hood. With its advanced lithium polymer technology,Dell claims that Adamo has a battery life of approximately five hours on a full charge. WiFi and Bluetooth are standard.
