Rock The Perfect Pitch With Korg’s Pitchclip
You ever play a guitar that went out of tune in the middle of a performance? It sucks. But the whole “tuning” thing sucks worse because strings, by definition and physics, go out of tune as they’re being played. So how can electronics pick up the slack? Check Korg’s PitchClip inside for more information.

Are Fanny Wangs Better Than Beats by Dre?
There’s three things a good pair of headphones better do: seal off the outside; have a dynamic range (i.e. make your stolen MP3s sound like crap); and fit well enough so that you can wear them for hours. Courtesy of good padding, custom paired titanium plated drivers, a 10Hz-20 kHz range and sensible adjustment methods, these Fanny Wang on-ear headphones do it all. If you’re looking for a pair of headphones noticeably lacking a rapper’s name on them, check these out after the jump!

When It Comes To Secure File Sharing, It’s iTwin or Lose [TECH]

Control The Party’s Playlist From Your Pocket With Kanex AirBlue [TECH]
So you walk into the party and right from the get-go you realize that the tunes playing are total crap. You’ve got better stuff on your smartphone, but there’s no way you’re going to search for an audio cable to plug into the headphone jack or start messing with the guy’s stereo or some pair of powered speakers. That’s where the Kanex AirBlue comes in: first because it’s smaller than a hockey puck, but shaped like one and runs off rechargeable USB power, and second, because it’s got streaming Bluetooth-tech built in.

Create Your Own Dark Knight Surveillance System With J5Create’s Display Adapters
What’s sexier than having a big-assed computer monitor screen? Having 2 or even 3 of them, is what! Flat-panels are priced like they’re being given away — spend a couple hundred bucks to get a 16:9er with millions of colors and high-res. The issue used to be because a laptop or even desktop would limit you to one or two additional screens – not any more. J5Create’s JUA adapters uses USB connection to allow you to connect as many screens as you want to become the ultimate security guard (or that perv from Sliver).

Bring The Arcade Home With The iCade Controller For iPad [TECH]
Remember when game consoles took a second place seat to going to the arcades? I won’t say that I miss losing the quarters, but there’s a certain thrill to standing in front of a screen and gripping a joystick with everything on the line. One that can’t be matched by tapping a touch-screen, no how. That’s why I was so excited to try out the new iCade, an arcade ‘controller’ for iPads. Read our review after the jump!

SuperTooth’s Disco Speakers Bring The Funk AND The Noise [TECH]
Everyone is looking for an affordable speaker that you can really rock out to on the go. Sure, you can plug in one of those portable Radio Shack-type speakers that runs off a few “AA” batteries and listen to all of 1 watt of power that’s lower volume than a flushing toilet. Alternatively, you could cop a SuperTooth Disco and party anywhere. I’d suggest the latter. I own one, so I know. Check out our review after the jump!

How To Boost Your Cell Phone Signal Indoors [TECH]
Cell reception sucks, which really sucks since landlines have gone the way of the dinosaur and the masses now depend on cells for their primary means of communication. Most bizarre of all is that cell phones seem to work better when outside. I’m lucky if I can get even 1 bar in my living room, not to mention when I turn a corner in the hall or go into a closet. So of my two options — one being to hijack a cellular tower and move it next door — zBoost Metro seems more doable. Check out our full review after the jump.

In The Year 2000: Tech Predictions For the Next Century
Are we there yet? Every time you turn around, somebody is predicting what’s going to happen 10, 25 or 50 years down the road. But you don’t have to be a “futurist” to connect the dots when it comes to where we’re heading when talking about technology. Unlike human nature, tech moves in a straight line from point A to point B, most of the time. Which makes these predictions of mine less a “leap of faith” than you’d think. Just don’t come back in 2061 and rag on me, okay? Check ‘em out after the jump.

Verbatim’s Mobile Keyboard Is The Best Alternative To Onscreen Typing [TECH]
I was pretty jazzed when Apple made a word processing program (Pages) available for my iPad; now I can really use this tablet on-the-go and forget about lugging a laptop around. Of course that didn’t take into account the whole onscreen keyboard thing that makes typing more “thumbs” than QWERTY. I needed a change and I found it in Verbatim’s Bluetooth Mobile Keyboard.

How To Sound Smarter Than You Are
We all believe that everybody thinks we’re smart. Sorry to disappoint, but those who bother to think about you at all probably don’t have that word in mind.
