We’ve been fans of Klipsch’s Image line of headphones for some time now, so we welcome the latest updates with open ears.
The ones I’m most excited about are the Image S5i Rugged. When you live in Seattle, you spend a lot of time worrying about whether you’re going to get rained on, and it’s nice not to have to worry about your electronics.

A Closer Look At Apple’s Latest Patents
3, Sep 2010
Apple has been granted nine new patents, and I thought I’d take a look at the claims therein and see whether they match up to the descriptions, and whether they seem (to this humble blogger) like realistic items for which to gain exclusive rights.

Those guys ought to claim a method to buy some new servers, whereby I don’t have to submit the patent number five times before it comes up.

Not content to stick to the cheap imitation of tablets and other computers, the clever copiers at Abiko have produced a “homage” model of the Dyson bladeless fan. Keep in mind that the knock off isn’t of the newest models, but rather the 10-inch desk fan that we reviewed last year.
The hints from yesterday and really obvious hint from today were not nonsense. Duke Nukem Forever is being finished by Gearbox, who confirmed in a Wall Street Journal report that they have “put the pieces together” and intend to release th…

Verizon’s got this crazy challenge going on over at the teaser page for the R2-D2 Edition Droid 2, wherein users are given clues that lead to special codes. Once one person finds and inputs one of these special codes, everyone gains access to a new section of the site, and the original finder scores themselves a free handset.
Fortunately for D2-devotees everywhere, the force was strong with a gent known only as David H.
