Top 10 Pervasive Tech Myths That Are Only Wasting Your Time The folks at iHome went retro with their new iPod stereo. The iH10 is essentially their take on the Table Radio with a built-in iPod dock, AM/FM tuners, and a line-in jack on the backside. Inside the wooden cabinet you’ll find a 3.5-inch speaker, which at $49 probably won’t fill a room like one of these, but would still make a nice companion to your bff. The iH10 comes out this summer. – Louis Ramirez
Taking us all back to the first time Fred Savage was a star, this Wii Power Glove takes an already nerdy thing (the Wii) and makes it even nerdier. The modder went and stuck a Wii on a powerglove, complete with finger switches to activate the A and B buttons and black paint job to match the Powerglove’s sweet, sweet stylings.
No gripes with this one. Just a hardy job well done to a Japanese nerd.
What’s more embarrassing for Charlie Murphy than having “Unity” indented on his forehead? How about Ctrl Alt Delete? It’s too bad Rick James wasn’t a geek, or else that story would have went down slightly differently for Darkness. $89 each. – Jason Chen

Good news to Sansa fans. Your favorite MP3 player line will support DivX video sometime in the near future, thanks to Sansa’s new licensing deal with DivX.
Being able to natively support DivX means you can go and grab TV shows/movies off BitTorrent and put them directly on your player without any time-consuming transcoding beforehand. – Jason Chen

Our T-Mobile informant’s just tipped us off to the updated release date for T-Mobile’s HotSpot @Home service. T-Mobile plans to roll out the service for all retail, online, VAR, Telesales, and Retail Partner Sales on June 27, which means you can get your own unit that Wednesday.
For the uninitiated, T-Mobile @Home is a home Wi-Fi/Cellular router that routes your cellphone calls through your internet connection to T-Mobile and out to wherever you’re dialing. It’s useful for people who live in No Man’s Land and can’t get reception inside their houses. – Jason Chen
Thanks Tipster!
Philips has some fantastic new magnetic LED lights coming out at the end of this year that are perfect for the closet. Why the closet? Because they’re magnetic, they’re cordless, and they turn off by themselves after 15 seconds of not sensing any motion.
Other cool details: cost between $10 and $15 each, have a magnetic pack to charge the battery quickly, and can run off three AA batteries as well. The lights are really bright (thanks to the LEDs), are white (not blue), and will be available in silver first and other colors later. Hell, we didn’t even know we needed motion sensing lights for our closet before this, but now we’re on board. – Jason Chen

The folks in the UK have already had the Gibbs Aquada boat-car for a while, but us Bond-aspirers in the US will have our chance in the first half of 2009. The best news is we won’t have to have Her Majesty’s finance department for this one, since it’ll be under $100,000 and be road and water legal.
The bad news is that you’ll probably have to have a boat license to drive it. But nobody ever said going 100 mph on the road and 30 mph in the water came easy. Unless, of course, your name is Richard Branson. You’d get a personal escort from the Coast Guard. – Jason Chen

Misogynistic headline aside, this USB purse design from Russian designer Dima Domissarov is probably the female equivalent of all the weird food-shaped USB sticks we saw in April. Instead of burgers, hotdogs and bread, these USB drives are shaped like miniature flea-market purses.
Plus, they added the expands-when-full feature found in the USB flashbag drive as well. Definitely cool, but we’d prefer a wallet version instead. – Jason Chen

You can add Flickr to the list of major websites that China has taken the ban-stick to. At first Yahoo thought it was just a technical glitch, but later found out that the images were actually being blocked.
Many AT&T U-Verse customers were hoping for new features like multiple HD streams or whole home DVR by 2007. Well, these updates look like they won’t be showing up until at least March of 2008. Sorry.
Looking for a new line of business? Well, stay away from hard drives. Due to heavy price competition between the top six manufacturers, they aren’t making too much off of their drives right now. For instance, Seagate’s net income dropped by $62 million dollars to $212 million due to the price wars.
On the other hand, Sony is seeing lots of growth, due to their TV and camera sales. The Sony Electronics division had a 7% surge in sales compared with last year’s earnings.– Ben Longo
Seiko Epson and Philips are working on projectors smaller than anything we’ve ever seen. The new reference design will use Seiko Epson’s High Temperature Poly-Silicon TFT panel and Philips’ Ujoy lamp. The 50W lamp has a diameter of 43.5mm and a depth of 64mm, while the driver module measures a mere 70 × 36 × 26mm. Weight is just 4 ounces. That’s not small enough to put em inside of cellphones, but maybe inside of Chen’s pants. Artists representation:
