07 Feb 10 Charge your devices on the bike with pedal power
I’m sure that most of you have used hand-cranked generators in science class, so why not actually take it out of the inapplicable classroom and apply that science to charging your mobile devices?
This is what the RollerGen bike mounted generator is designed to do. As you pedal along, all the energy you burn gets put in a battery that resembles a bar of soap.
Of course, this costs about $495 for this system, which is pretty steep.

06 Feb 10 Linos USB Vinyl Record Player
This USB peripheral are for those that wished that vinyl records had never “gone out” in the eighties. It is a way of playing an LP without a turntable.
As you can see, the vinyl disc is stuck in between the two arms, and it will be sandwhiched there as it spins. The user can then adjust the arm to the proper track.
This device is still a concept, but it is certainly the best way to play a record using a computer.

30 Jan 10 AirMouse comes straight out of Minority Report
Clearly, someone at Deanmark really enjoys Minority Report, or else they would have never come up with this glove interface that Tom Cruise was using in the opening sequence. The sensors are on the thumb, index finger, and middle finger, for crying out loud! Steven Spielberg might sue.
This AirMouse (not to be confused with the one that Logitech makes) is completely wireless, uses and optical laser, and can run for a week on a single charge. It is also very accurate, as it can align with the ligaments of a user’s hand and wrist.
Deanmark, a Canadian company, is planning to release the mouse this year for about $129. Too bad it doesn’t come with that cool and curvaceous transparent screen that Tom Cruise was using.
