Steve Jobs 1955 – 2011
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...

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,...
Acoustic Lab Zeta 2.0 Speakers
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...

Inspired by the classic camera equipment of designer Brendan Dawes’ father, Red Pop is an oversized grip and dedicated shutter button for the iPhone 4, with a slick retro futuristic design, grippy texture, and delightfully oversized red button. Is it totally necessary? No, but it sure as hell isn’t...

Wacom Bamboo iPad Stylus
Since the iPhone was released, there have been a number of styli released. Some good, others not so great. This whole time, I’ve wondered why Wacom hasn’t gotten into the game.
