Elgato’s Video Capture takes in analog video – RCA or S-Video – and captures it directly to Macs via USB. It’s useful for converting VHS tapes, set-top box recordings, older camcorders and various other analog sources to H.264, which you can then transfer to iPods, iPhones and PSPs, depending on what you have. The Video [...]

The Clickfree™ Traveler offers incremental backup; upon first connection it will automatically find all of the user data files and copy them to the hard drive. Each time after that, it will only back up the new files or the ones that have changed. While the software’s default settings will probably be sufficient for most [...]

Well I know I like my gadgets to be tiny and easy to store in a pocket but I guess this one is too small for a round of Quake or Unreal Tournament but anyway it’s worth mentioning. And there you have it: the world’s smallest wireless mouse ! This 27.5x60x19mm thumb-sized 2.4 GHz min-strosity [...]

This 56 character keyboard is actually an update of a similar non-illuminated (and cheaper) version from the same company; looks about the same size as the Acer Aspire One. This lil’ couch surfer’s delight operates up to [...]

Oh sure, this MacBook Apple mod isn’t nearly as functional as that secondary display one, but you just can’t beat the artistic flair here. I’ve got nothing but props to hand out to the artist – I mean, you can just see the yearning in Snow White’s eyes, can’t you? She should really know to [...]

Elecom’s MicroSD USB reader takes advantage of the storage format’s miniature size to ensure that the only thing poking out of your computer is a colorful and stylish little nub. The MR-SMC03 is so small that it kind of looks more like a USB hole stopper than a media reader. To use it, you slip [...]

Imagine that your monitor can be adjusted to fit different aspect ratios ? As a bonus you will have a small projector to display small images and icons (you need to pay attention to) on the desk. Yeah, you have 5 new emails. To bad it’s just a concept. Thanks [ petitinvention ]

Asus most definitely came to CES packing heat and without a doubt, one of its most impressive announcements was the Eee Keyboard. We want it and we want it now.
