So, when Thecus says its N0204 miniNAS is the world’s smallest, we’ll take them for their word. Little bigger than an […]

Given that most cats aren’t really the talkative type, we can definitely understand scoopmycatbox’s desire to rig up a water dish (vid’s after the break) that does the yapping for his dearest kitty.

Not that we haven’t seen nerdy wedding bands before, but for those who aren’t really enamored with networking, we’ve stumbled upon another option that’s just too awesome to pass up. Granted, the sound wave bands have been around a finger or two, but really, how awesome is a wedding ring with an EQ interpretation of […]

China Unicom still not confirmed as Chinese iPhone provider
Remember how last week China Unicom brazenly threw up product images for the iPhone and a few other smartphones, implying that in the very near future it would be providing service to them?
