LaCie Funky Flat Cables

by Jay Garrett on December 8, 2009

LaCie FlatsRegular readers here will have seen LaCie team up with a range of designers; Neil Poulton and Phillipe Starck spring instantly to mind.

Well, the design lead LaCie has given another makeover to something you take for granted – your puter cables.

Now they’re flat and colourful so now you can unplug without having to trace the spaghetti of wires to their source before crossing your fingers and yarking out the cable.

The LaCie cables are more than just a collection of lookers.

That flat design makes them easier to coil and less likely to get tangled – although with my other flat cables (SCART, etc) threading them around corners and such does create a minor issue.

You can get this funky cables in several USB configurations, Firewire and eSATA.

Gear4 Video Buddy – From iPod Nano to Widescreen TV

by Jay Garrett on September 29, 2009

Nano videobuddyAfter last week’s reports that a US gym has banned the new iPod Nano due to fears that it could be used for catching scenes of sweaty, lycra clad folk on the treadmill and an actual arrest in Kobe, Japan, after some bloke hid the Nano in his shoe, and somehow filmed up an 18 year old girl’s skirt perhaps the latest from Gear4 could get banned soon.

The Gear4 VideoBuddy is the ideal mate to your new Nano – all you have to do is shove it into the port down at the bottom of your 5th gen’ iPod nano and use the supplied RCA cable to connect it to your gogglebox.

Hey presto – your hastily, yet tastefully, shot clips can now been chucked up on your HDTV.

All you need is £29.99 and to head over to Gear4

This has to be a first – if not, a close second or third!
I’ve been given a link to USBFever and they’re selling the first USB 3.0 cable that I’m aware of actually being retailed!
The proud statement of “it is 10 times faster than USB 2.0.” may be true – but not unil 2010.
That’s the expected [...]

These will even handle your headphone cable.
Where else can you hire a Ninja for $2?
