If you use a myriad of gadgets in various positions, then you might find the Right Arm useful. It’s a tablet stand that can hold various devices in place while you stand, sit, slouch, or lie in bed. It can even hold your tablet in place while you watch an episode of your favorite TV show while you’re in the bath tub.
The Right Arm is a flexible 2 foot-long pole that you can manipulate this way and that into your desired position. It has a tablet-sized residue-free polyurethane gel adhesive pad on the end, which can hold up to 4.5 lbs. vertically or 15 lbs. horizontally. That makes it just right for most tablets and lightweight laptops. It’ll even hold books or cameras.
The Right Arm is currently up for funding on Kickstarter, where a minimum pledge of $109 will get you one of your very own.

Want free prints of your favorite pictures? Don’t mind seeing an ad on the back of each print? Then you’ll love Flag. It’s an upcoming image-printing service that comes with its own dedicated app that lets user print 4″x6″ photos for free.
The free prints are made possible by the sponsors’ ads that are printed on the opposite side of the picture. This shouldn’t be a big deal if you’re just printing photos for remembrance that you’ll just be keeping in an album. And it’s free in the strictest sense, because you won’t even have to pay for shipping or handling!
Select 20 photos from your camera, Facebook, Instagram or favorite social network and tap ‘Print’. Flag will print and mail your pictures to you, or someone you love, free. No shipping, no handling, no BS.
On the back of each print, you can include details about the camera, additional comments, and a QR code which can be used for ordering reprints. Flag will also offer upgraded features like rounded corners or fancy edges, as well as postcards and giant mosaic prints.
Flag recently reached its goal on Kickstarter, so you should be seeing the app for iOS and Android sometime this Summer.

Hackers seem to be on a roll these days, almost every other week we hear about a major online property being hit by a security breach which ends up compromising personal information of millions of users. The latest victim is crowdfunding juggernaut Kickstarter. It announced via its official blog that hackers were able to gain access to certain parts of the database, though the good news is that they weren’t able to access credit or debit card information. It would have been disastrous seeing as how most of its users have provided such information because its needed to pledge donations for campaigns. However, even if hackers would have been able to access said information, they wouldn’t have been able to do much with it as Kickstarter doesn’t store full credit card numbers in its databases.

Headphones come in all shapes and sizes, in-ear, over the ear, on-ear, Bluetooth, and so on, but for the most part, headphones are basically designed to pipe music from our media devices, like our phones or tablets, and straight into our ears, nothing more, nothing less, at least until The Dash. These are a pair of in-ear headphones that have been making waves recently thanks to its Kickstarter project where its creators have managed to go beyond its $260,000 goal. As it stands at this point in time, The Dash headphones Kickstarter project is sitting well above $1,000,000. (more…)

Show off your love for retro gaming with this animated pixel art frame. Similar to the Pixel and Pixel V2, Game Frame is a digital canvas that can be loaded up with hundreds of your favorite 8-bit video game characters and symbols. Time to show off some 8-bit art in your home.
Basically the frame is a grid of 256 ultra-bright LED pixels, for showing off all kinds of geek art. In fact, Game Frame comes with over 40 brand new animations from eBoy. The hardware is Arduino-based, and the complete source code will be released once they ship. Thousands of images & animations can be stored on SD and played back the way you want, configured by two buttons on top.
While it’s not as high resolution as the Pixel, there’s something to be said for the chunky square LED pixels on the Game Frame.
A pledge of at least $230(USD) will get you a completely assembled Game Frame, while you can pick up a kit version with all components but the frame for $150, or without the LEDs for $60.
