It has been awhile since we’ve been this excited about a video game launch (sorry, we don’t play Halo). Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock launched in New York City today and we’re quite excited to get our hands on the latest addtion to the series. What we love so much about Guitar Hero, aside from the great gameplay, is the fact that most types …

Admittedly, I am not a huge fan of ear bud earphones, partly because the few that I’ve tried don’t do a good job at producing an adequate mix of bass, and the highs as well as lows in music. Then there is the matter of jamming tiny rubbery plugs into your ears, which ultimately take it’s toll on the ears by tiring them out. …

While boiling water is probably the easiest thing to do in the kitchen, it is kind of difficult to know sometimes just how hot the water is yet. That is why Kenwood’s new Response Kettle is truly a kettle for the modern day. Instead of assuming that the water is ready because you hear whistling or because it is steaming, the appliance lights up through …

Back in the day I was a pretty fast text messenger using my cell phone’s numeric keypad. Still, the more time saved punching out a URL, the better.

We already knew that Xexoo was producing a pure gold 2g ipod shuffle. But when we first read about it, we kind of thought it to be an oxymoron.

They even make matching gold …

For some sports fan, nothing is cuter than this SoccerCam Digital Still Camera.

All of that is not bad for $39 …

Think of Work It, Mom! as a MySpace… sort of. There are a lot of communities out there designed for moms, but Work It, Mom! was designed specifically for mothers juggling a career while simultaneously raising their kids. The community provides a place where working moms can connect, get and share advice, read blogs and publish their own stories or articles. And on a related …

RCA’s RCA RP5050 Digital Voice Recorder is a pretty unusual digital voice recorder. Aside from recording audio, it can also snap photos at 0.3 megapixels. That is not quite photo print quality, but having the ability to take a picture on the spur of the moment while you are recording something is convenient. Spec wise the RCA RP5050 has 128MB of ram which can hold …

We know naught about motorcycles, but just based on looks alone, the Victory Vision 2008 seems to be quite the ride. But it’s not the rpm or even it’s slick style that has us interested in the Vision, but its connectivity options. The bike comes ready with iPod connectivity – with music navigation controls smartly placed on the handle bars while tracks can be viewed …

We’ve mentioned Pinger before, a neat new technology that brings you free voice messaging for your cell phone. Pinger is a really great communication tool that can make your life simpler.

The days of showing off pictures of your kids in your wallet are gone. Nowadays you whip out your cell phone if you want to show off a picture of little Timmy. Or you could get WalletPix, a small digital photo album about the size of a credit card, but a little thicker. WalletPix can hold up to 58 photos transferred from your computer which …

Emoticons were created to express emotions online. Now it seems like they’ve become such a big part of our culture that Emoticons are being used to express feelings even off line. Smartz’s Jumbo Emoti-Clips are kind of like big paper clips, but each pack comes with a pack of 8 expressions. You can pick up a pack at your local Staples for just .99.
