This of course would not be [...]
TweetOh Japan, how I love you and your crazy sh*t. See that thing on the left there with the suit precariously balanced on it? Yeah, that’s Honda’s answer to the Segway. A self propelled, self balancing, 3.7mph traveling unicycle that moves in the direction you lean. Tightrope not included. The U3-X weighs in at just [...]

TweetAs everyone should know by now, the Zune HD is out and it’s a thing of beauty but a lot of reviewers aren’t quite sold on it. Why you ask? Lack of apps. For me, it’s a PMP and a damned good one so I’m not really bothered by the limited amount of apps available [...]
