Western Digital is no stranger to the market when it comes to media streaming in the living room. Their solution seemed to be rather good compared to others. But now, they’ve updated their new lineup for the living room with this new WD TV Live Hub, and is easily Western Digital’s most feature-packed streamer yet, with a 1TB HDD within for storing you-know-what.

Vimeo has has just launched its “couch mode” full-screen viewing mode. Something like YouTube’s Leanback mode few months back. It features a simplified UI with just the options you’d want while couch-surfing: in this case a More Info screen toggle and a Watch Later queue. Well this is certainly a welcomed feature, if you frequent vimeo using your HDTV in your living room.

At 121 feet (36.88 meter) in length, “The Excalibur” at the Bjoeks Climb Center in Groningen, The Netherlands, is considered to be the tallest climbing wall in the world. Alright, that’s scary enough! Now how do I get down again? I ain’t got no chutes homie!

Okay, this product is crazy, or perhaps spooky to some. At least the use of it is crazy enough. You see, people get lots of eyebags and eyesore due to staring at LCD or CRT (still around?) too much. That’s where your panda eyes come from. Reluctant to go to sleep at 3AM, and blaming insomnia when you’re madly farming at Facebook. Here comes this product. The actual usage of this tiny LCD with legs is to hang it on your screen. It presents an eye, always looking at you, lazily and nonchalantly blinking. In theory, if you see an eye blinking you’ll blink more often yourself and cut down on eye strain. But truthfully, who knows there might be a webcam in it to record all your nasty moments when all your family members are asleep.

Yes, that’s the real PlayStation Phone that’ll be coming in early 2011 under Sony Ericsson. Unbelievable? Yep. The look’s pretty much final here, though I’d expect Sony to somehow pump up the visual styling of it to look slightly more ‘fun’ than just plain ol’ slide out gamepad. Sony is trying hard to push this baby out in Christmas, though that seemed to be rather harsh. This thing still doesn’t look very ‘final’ to me. Read more…

Sonos probably is trying to bag the last of their chance from Apple fans before AirPlay hits hard on the market. They’re now extending their product range of already impressive streaming ecosystem with a now-shipping Sonos Wireless Dock (WD100) for your iPod or iPhone that can stream your device’s music digitally to any of your SonosZonePlayers. It’s still considered quite decent at $119, what’s more Sonos has plenty of other perks (like great support for online streaming music services) that it would be happy to point out to you. But I’m not sure it’ll fare nicely once AirPlay goes live in a year’s time.

There’s an app for everything, so I guess to Razer there’s a gaming keyboard for every game too huh? They’ve developed one of the world’s most ugly and uncomfortable mouse for MMO called the Naga, and now the Naga has a partner. It’s the Anansi. Keeping the trend of naming their gadgets after deadly snakes and spiders, the Anansi(pronunciation Ah-nahn-see) is a cunning and intelligent deadly spider found in West Africa.

Being an MMO keyboard, it’s no surprise that this will come with lots of macro commands. There’s the very obvious ‘seven thumb modifier keys’ located below the space bar to provide you with every possible combination of modifier key (shift, ctrl, alt) in total accuracy and comfort of using a single key stroke, exponentially expanding the repertoire of spells, abilities and macros you have at your command.Allowing you to both instantly and effortlessly actuate every possible in-game spell or ability and still have room for dozens of your own custom macros. There you have it, the use of an MMO keyboard. Read more…

Yes, we’ve been using Office 2010 for quite some time now, but Microsoft sure has not forgotten the Mac users. Yes, we might have a good debate in between Windows and other OS, but there’s no deny that despite there’s so many alternatives out there, free or not, Microsoft’s flagship desktop suite of productivity, Microsoft Office is still the best out there.

This is doesn’t require any form of battery, and easily snugged your iPhone 4. With it, this silicone adds some 12 decibels of sound pressure to your iPhone 4’s speaker. I’m not sure if your iPhone’s battery life will be halved, but this should do some light music listening. Not for your 3G or 3GS though. It’s priced at $24.95.
