By Andrew Liszewski Wandering around the iPod/iPhone/iPad accessory neighborhood of CES I came across this chunky looking touchscreen-friendly stylus that caught me eye. It reminded me of the thick crayons and fat Crayola markers I use to use in grade school, but since it’s made of brushed aluminum I doubt it would pass the ‘kid-friendly’…

by

By Andrew Liszewski We first brought you news about Sphero around a month before CES 2011 was set to begin, and it immediately became one of the things I was most excited about seeing at the show. And given the amount of time I spent playing with their white plastic ball at their booth, suffice…

By Andrew Liszewski Evan Ackerman, tech-blogger extraordinaire and Senior Editor of BotJunkie, was the first person in the United States to don Cyberdyne’s ‘Hybrid Assistive Limb’ or ‘HAL’ robotic exoskeleton suit.

By Andrew Liszewski As they pointed out to me when I stopped by their booth at CES on the weekend, Mimoco’s MIMOBOT flash drives are a subtle way to express your real self at work, particularly if you happen to be a geek stuck in a world of suits and ties. To date the company’s…

By Andrew Liszewski Looking like some giant, creepy, glowing eyeball plucked from one of Michael Bay’s Transformers abominations, CTA Digital’s PlayStation Move compatible bowling ball accessory makes playing motion-based bowling games on the PS3 extra embarrassing.
