Solar Vox: Charge Any Of Your USB Devices Using The Sun
I take it we're getting used to gadgets being charged by different weird inventions. I mean, if it's not solar, it's wind, but I have yet to see a wave charger. To charge a mobile device in today's day and age isn't that hard, but if you want to be able to do it anywhere and whenever you want, tha ...
Now We Can All Tweet At The Great Wall Of Touch!
About a year ago, I wrote an article about the Intel Touch Screen Wall at the CES which everyone, at the time, thought was the 8th wonder of the world. But, as it turns out, this year there is one better. Not only does it seem that the future is harboring some pretty cool lobby technology for us, ...
TwitnicTable: The All Knowing Twitter Table Surface!

Technology: A Parking Spot Locator for Your iPhone!
Wow, for people who live in a big city, like me, finding this app is like winning the lottery. Ok, maybe it's not quite that good. But how many times have you had an important meeting with a client or friend scheduled, and you end up being late because you can't find a parking space?

Gift A Stranger: Hi Tech Random Acts of Kindness
Everyone loves to do and receive random acts of kindness, right? At least most people I know do. I've always been a fan of this, and I try to do things in my daily life to bring that extra sunshine to others. For example, it's always fun to pay for the car behind me at the tollbooth on Georgia 40 ...
Spot Now: This New Mobile App Is Like Geolocation On Steroids
I admit it. I'm not a Foursquare or Gowalla user. It's not because I'm not interested in checking out geolocation apps, it's more because I'm pitifully boring, and I don't go to enough unique places to be worth checking into, in my opinion. However, with this new mobile app called Spot Now, I mig ...
Limited Designer Flash Drives Meet Batman, Superman, Etc.
Flash drives have become one of the most customized computer accessories that we have seen since... well, ever!

The Pick-Apart Hard Drive Is A Partitioner’s Dream!
Right now I am sitting here with 3 stacked up Porsche external hard drives and not a single GB left to store on them. They are all filled with graphics, ideas and what have you. Sometimes I wish I could just reach into each of those drives and fast and easily extract exactly what I wanted without ...
Triumph OMNI-BANG: 360 Degree Sound For Your iPhone!
Almost everyone, I am sure, remembers when the iPhone first came out how astounded we were with the rich, thick quality the sound had. It was a joy to watch those movie trailers on YouTube, and you kept wondering how those small badboys of speakers could generate that much of a sound torque. But t ...
Microsoft Surface 2.0: Will It Stun Us THIS Time Around?
I remember a couple of years ago when I first saw the Microsoft Surface technology being demoed in a series of clips. I was amazed by the technology and the features it had, but I couldn't quite see the killer use it would bring to the world. It's one of those things that everyone should think abo ...
Eco Power Strips: Chemically Charge Your Phone In The Future?
Almost every day we hear about how much we need to start finding new sources of energy before our planet goes into a complete stage of shock and beyond any rescue mission attempt we might come up with. In a TED Talk by Bill Gates, he mentions that we have about until 2050 to find an alternate energ ...
The Portable Hard Drive Inspired By An Italian Racecar
Since I own an Apple certified consulting company in Atlanta, I work with hard drives all day long. For the most part, from a visual perspective, they are boring. I've never really thought about it before today, but there is so much opportunity there for a creative designer to do something really ...
The Brick Thief: Lego’s Newest Stop Motion Film
As you know, we write a lot about Lego on Bit Rebels. Sometimes people ask me why we like Lego so much. It's simple really. No matter what age you are, where you live, what you are doing, what problems you have in your life, if you can get your hands on a box of Lego bricks, you can escape into a ...
Technology: The Next Generation Baby Monitor Is Here
Most people I know who have a baby also have a baby monitor. Here in this country, they've become a standard piece of equipment to have when welcoming a new baby home. I remember when my son was born ten years ago; a baby monitor consisted of a plastic box that sat on top of the dresser in the bab ...
Turn Your iPhone Into An EKG Machine!
Is there anything an iPhone can't do? I mean, seriously. The CyanogenMod based on the Android operating system blows my mind; however, it all comes down to the user experience, which in most cases, unless you are a technology geek, means apps, right? Maybe someday soon (I hope) having an Android ...
