Keychain Transformer Cam – DV cam, MP3 player fits on a keychain, but won’t convert to Optimus Prime

This little Keychain Transformer Cam is cute, but it’ll only play MP3 and record VGA movies, it won’t turn into a huge tractor thing to save the planet. Which is a pretty poor show really we think.

Three JPEG moon T-shirt: meta meta meta ironic

We all know what the Three Wolf Moon shirt looks like, so I won’t link it here. But did you know that it was actually made up of not one, but four separate images? True fact is true! Yes, it’s another clever little shirt from the chaps whose entire business is clever little shirts.

Quick Look: Seagate launches the FreeAgent GoFlex system

It’s an endless battle: a new transport protocol replaces an old one and all of the drives based on the older system are completely obsolete. Well, Seagate thought long and hard and created the GoFlex system, a drive with removable transport hardware that can turn a standard SATA drive into a USB 2.0/3.0 drive, a Firewire storage device, or even a powered eSATA device

A few things to know about electric bikes

We like electric vehicles here at CrunchGear, from the Volt to the Leaf to the Eneloop to the U3-X . But none of those are very common purchases, and although electric cars are looked forward to with anticipation, electric bikes seem to have escaped the notice of the US altogether.

Seagate’s New Drives Offer Mix-and-Match Connectors

Seagate’s making a big bet on SATA connectors, though the company wouldn’t describe it that way: Its new FreeAgent GoFlex line of hard drives and accessories makes use of the standard interface to offer a wide range of easy connectivity options. Out of the box, the basic drive comes with a USB 2.0 connector. If your next notebook sports a USB 3.0 port, eSATA port, or a FireWire 800 connection, no problem: Just remove the Seagate drive’s back end and plug in the corresponding cable kit (sold separately by Seagate for $20 to $40)

Gadgets Of Days Gone By

Writing about the newest technology can be tiring. As a man once said , “Everything’s amazing and nobody’s happy.” More storage! More speed! I want apps and GPS and privacy! The days before terabyte external drives and gigahertz phone processors were a more tranquil time, though admittedly we look back on it through a rose-tinted lens. Still, in between all the underpowered Windows 98SE PCs, fragile flip-phones, and mammoth laptops, there were plenty of gadgets we still remember with no small affection

Review: LiveBooks photo site

Gadgets of days gone by: HP DeskJet 500

“Humble Indie Bundle” lets you pay what you want for a stellar lineup

The indie game scene has been blowing up in recent years along with a wealth of blogs and communities surrounding the sub-industry. Even “major” indie games, however, still get overlooked if they don’t have a console release, and as a consequence a number of excellent games get passed up and some really ingenious developers don’t get the compensation they deserve.

Zettabyte = really big number

One number that wasn’t affected by the recession was the size of the digital universe, which grew 62% in 2009 to around 800,000 petabytes. However, the petabyte, or 1000 terabytes, is quickly becoming an obsolete unit for measuring the amount of information in the world. To remedy this we will begin to use the zettabyte, or a million petabytes (we skipped the exabyte, or 1000 petabytes)

ShutterSnitch Beams Photos from Camera to iPad

If you have an Eye-Fi card and an iPad, you need ShutterSnitch. The $8 iPhone and iPad application lets you beam photos as you shoot them direct to the iPad where they are displayed on the large 10-inch screen. This is useful for “tethered” shooting where you may want somebody else to monitor the images as you shoot, or just to help you out with a giant image preview.
