When it comes to WoW, it seems like gamers can never have enough extra buttons and keys despite the fact that they only possess two hands. Hot on the heels of the SteelSeries gaming mouse, comes this Limited Edition World of Warcraft Keyboard for $69.99. Or as Amazon calls it, the “SteelSeries Zboard Limited-Edition Wrath of the Lich King Bundle with Zboard Keyboard, Keyset, and Standard Qwerty Keyset”. Phew. That’s a mouthful. Let’s face it, you are playing to kick ass. This keyboard should help you kick ass and take names.
It comes packed with features that give it optimal performance in the WoW game with specific keys assigned for Raiding and Player vs. Player (PvP) gameplay, strategic placement of color-coded labeled keys, one-touch macros for frequent commands like roll, duel and invite. It also allows for 7 simultaneous keystrokes, as opposed to the industry standard of 2-4. Order one today and it will come with such bonus features as “avoiding real people…failing to shower funk sensor…Cheeto resistant keys….and more. Ok, I made that last bit up.

The i-Station Rotate from Logic3 is the latest offering in the i-Station line. It makes sure that your iPod or iPhone is always oriented in the right direction, which I’m sure will help you avoid some neck problems while watching videos. The i-Station Rotate has a built-in dock rotating mechanism that turns your device horizontal or vertical depending on your whims, when you still need it to be connected to the dock.
It’s pretty practical and compact, which is good for taking the i-Station Rotate with you on the road etc. It features a Video Out function, TDMA noise suppresion, 3.5mm Stereo line-in socket, a remote control and a carrying case. You can get the i-Station Rotate in January of next year for $129.99.

This is Tanya Vlach's new eyeball. She lost her real one in a car accident a few years ago. I met Tanya at a film festival recently. During our conversation she said she was looking for help in turning her artificial eye into a eye-cam. You know, a mini web cam inside an eyeball. It would capture live video and stream it to a memory somewhere and also perhaps eventually assist her own vision in real time. She confessed that she was not technologically adept enough to hack it on her own.

Ooma’s Telo is the first dedicated phone that lets users use both a cordless handset and a matching router to make unlimited calls within the US as well as free international calls, but there’s a catch, the recipient has to be an Ooma owner as well. Ooma plans to use the Internet for its range of services including caller ID and ringtones, the ability to talk to a computer while updating contacts remotely and playing voice mail away from the phone. It will even send address information instantly whenever you place a 911 call for emergencies. You’re going to need a reliable and fast broadband connection. The Ooma Telo will retail for $250.

Google is aggregating their search data to estimate flu activity by state, they say up to two weeks faster than the CDC.
We have found a close relationship between how many people search for flu-related topics and how many people actually have flu symptoms. Of course, not every person who searches for “flu” is actually sick, but a pattern emerges when all the flu-related search queries from each state and region are added together. We compared our query counts with data from a surveillance system managed by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and discovered that some search queries tend to be popular exactly when flu season is happening. By counting how often we see these search queries, we can estimate how much flu is circulating in various regions of the United States.

A few months ago I fell into a Nintendo DS for cheap. Somebody wanted a new phone...So once I got my hands on it, I just had to stickerfy it. Here are some shots of the process of putting custom vinyl skins on my ds. This could be a decent little moneymaker. I got it to the point where I could get the stickersto cut right, and got them on pretty consistently, then ran out of summer vacation.
The file for the skin came from Decalgirl.com. They came through with the right proportions, but bigger than the device, probably for ease of design. I just used their file to get something so I didn't have to start from scratch. By putting various colors of vinyl in the machine, it would be possible to change the color of your ds to any number of combinations. It would also be possible to make multicolor vinyl images as well.
The tool that this was done on is the Roland Camm1, which is the sign cutter of choice in the Fab Lab system. Here is a page that shows some of the process for using the vinylcutter in Windows. This one is for CAM, which is used in many of the Fab Labs. Many local sign shops have this tool as well.
