The solution is a stand, but nearly all are designed for table-top use, which isn’t usually compatible with a comfy chair. So the folks of iRain, the prolific Apple accessory-maker, have come up with a stand that will work on your lap — and it currently has 10% off...

Apple 1 computer among intriguing technological artifacts up for auction

We have previously argued here at Gizmag that the rate of technological advancement, which often banishes early iterations of a product to the realms of obsolescence, has obscured the true worth of some of our landmark innovations. As such, sales like the upcoming History of Science auction at Bonhams New York could provide fine opportunities for medium-term investments in rare collectibles, like a 1976 Apple 1 motherboard...

Útiles de supervivencia básicos por un tubo

Por si las cosas se ponen un poco walkingdead, el VSSL Outdoor Utility Tools es un cilindro de aluminio de cierre hermético que contiene distintos útiles de supervivencia: en uno de sus extremos tiene una linterna y en el otro una brújula. Dentro almacena velas, cuchillas de afeitar, hilos de pescar y anzuelos, espejo para señales, cuerda, abrelatas y un botiquín básico, entre otras cosas.

Aunque ya se puede pedir aún sigue en Kickstarter, con lo que igual con algo de suerte en un par de años entregan algo —aunque ellos prometen que será este otoño.

The FPS1000 is a small, hand-held camera designed to capture slow motion video at up to 18,500 frames per second for the price of a decent compact instead of your typical US$100,000 slow-mo rig...
