Closer Look: Fake Korean Shuffle Returns

When I first shared a sneak peek at this faux shuffle that a friend of mine found in Korea most of you were mesmerized by its octagonal navigation and suspiciously familiar body shape and color. Some of you even wondered if the packaging for the fake shuffle was anything like the real Apple packaging. I was able to get my mittens on some additional pictures and the verdict is in: The creators of this noteworthy knock off may have focused on making the iClip.Se MP3 look just like the shuffle, but they went for more modern, iPhone-inspired packaging. (Note the plain black cardboard and the sleek plastic case.) Is it just me, or is this thing more entertaining the second time around?

Panic Button

Every office has one of those co-workers who gets panicked at the idea of a computer error. At the next office gift exchange make sure you get them the Panic Button. Even better: buy one, put it on their keyboard, sit back and watch.
The panic button is designed to look like a normal keyboard key, [...]

Bar Code CD Holder

Designer Marian Lassak’s CD Holder offers a unique spin on the usually plain CD case. I happen to like it because bar codes, which are machine-readable representations of information, seem to be inherently geeky.

They also remind me of the strange boy I had a crush on my freshman year of college who had bizarre barcode shaped tattoos all over his arms. Okay, so maybe my taste in men is questionable, but this case is totally lovable, isn’t it?

UPEK announced today that it has preview software, meaning beta software, available for download that allows the UPEK Eikon Digital Privacy Manager to work on Mac computers. The Mac software isn’t available in retail packages at this time with the USB powered fingerprint reader. Mac users have to buy the $39 Windows version of the device and download the Mac software for the device to operate.

The download of the preview version is free and presumably the final version will be as well. Once installed Mac users can access any password protected website or application by swiping their finger across the fingerprint reader. Mac users can also unlock the screen saver and wake their Mac’s up from sleep with a finger swipe. You can download the Mac preview version of Protector Suite from the link below.

LEGO iPod Dock

The LEGO obsession continues with this Lego iPod dock from 10×10. Featured on technabob, these tiny blocks come with built-in speakers, which I’m assuming are the crosses in the front. This may be a wild guess, but expect sound quality similar to that when you crank up your iPod full blast with the earphones still connected. As for a power source, that I’m still trying to figure out. Priced around $16. A geeky or geek chic accessory?

E-V – Sunny Solar Powered Electric Bike

E-V Sunny Solar Electric Bicycle (Image courtesy Thera-P-Cushion Inc.)

The E-V Sunny is supposedly the first all solar electric bike and it manages to harness enough of the sun’s rays by incorporating solar panels into the wheels. Well to be more specific the solar panels are more like hubcaps that cover the spokes but they apparently have enough surface area to maintain a constant charge to the batteries which in turn power a 500 watt motor on the front wheel.

The bike can reach a fairly impressive top speed of about 19 mph but the solar cells, battery and other electronics give it a combined weight of about 75 lbs which isn’t exactly light.

The E-V Sunny bike will also set you back about $1290 but there’s a slightly more affordable $795 kit for converting your existing bike. I also have to point out that the website is now taking orders “for delivery in September of 2006″ so I’m curious if anyone knows someone who actually bought and received one?
