Founder and former CEO of Apple Steve Jobs has died after a seven-year battle with cancer. He was 56. The hard-driving executive pioneered the concept of the personal computer and of navigating them by clicking onscreen images with a mouse. In more recent years, he introduced the iPod portable music player, the iPhone and the iPad tablet — all of which changed how we consume content in the digital age. More than one pundit, praising Jobs’ ability...

A new version of UBoard just came out, it includes everything the older version has in addition to an iPhone dock which comes in very handy. If you haven’t seen the UBoard before, it’s a multi-functional organizational tool for your desk. Use it to hold your office accessories while you tuck your keyboard underneath it. Or maybe to hold your monitor higher. You can use it any way you want to make your desk more organized and efficient.... 

We don’t consider ourselves sneakerheads by any stretch of the imagination, but we have been known to indulge in a few extra unnecessary pairs of kicks simply because they looked good. If you think about it, it’s pretty easy to rationalize the expenditure because we don’t dabble in comic books and action figures anymore. The point though is the fact that we didn’t spend the better part of our adult lives amassing our collection just to leave... 

If Kickstarter has taught us anything, it’s that good ideas can come from anywhere — and Cineskates ($150 and up) are a perfect example. This ingenious set of skateboard-style wheels are made to attach to Joby’s ultra-versatile GorillaPod Focus tripod and ballhead, turning your DSLR or — gasp! — digital camcorder into a pro-style rig, allowing for silver screen-worthy movement. source  Read More →

We’ve been waiting a long time for the “digital sketchpad” to become reality — and as cool as tablets are, they haven’t really been able to nail it. But the Wacom Inkling ($200) looks like it has. It includes a small receiver that attaches to any sketchbook or normal piece of paper and an electronic sketch pen that work together to record your sketches stroke-by-stroke, which can then be transferred over USB and into Photoshop,... 

These pink-soled shoes could be out of this world. Jil Sander’s bright Memphis 999 shoes are pictured here in black and vivid pink, admittedly not everyone’s go-to colorway, but still a pick that isn’t without merit. Think pop art, avant garde, fresh designers, street art, London, funky suits, and conversation-worthy hats, and your mind will start whirling with styling options. The Jil Sander’s Memphis 999 shoe is a sight to behold, with... 

Consistently reinventing their collection of watches for the better, Diesel has a new collection of watches affectionately (and appropriately) titled the Super Bad Ass collection. The DZ7221 (silver with metal bracelet) and DZ7127 (black on blue on black leather band) are our two favorites from the collection because of their vintage aircraft gauge appearance. With their size (65mm x 57mm) and the fact they have seven different dials (one digital),... 

We make no bones about the fact that there are a lot of speakers that can easily be classified as cool material. Some of them do double duty as headphones and speakers. Some of them wirelessly receive audio. Some of them are so far out of the box it’s hard not to call them ridiculous. And some, like these Acoustic Lab Zeta 2.0s are downright sexy. That’s right, we just called speakers sexy. The one piece pressure-vessel forms were designed by... 

We suppose it was only a matter of time before the biggest name in jeans realized that bike riders needed something more than just plain denim. Levi’s 511 Commuter Jeans ($80) are designed especially for the urban commuter. Based on the company’s 511 Skinny jean, the Commuter comes in four versions — full length or cropped, in denim or non-denim — and offers cyclist-friendly features like NanoSphere treatment for water- and dirt-resistance,...
