I’m all about little robots. That is to say, any robot that is small enough that I know for a fact I won’t lose to in a fight. (You know, in case the whole Skynet thing happens.) As long as the robots are small, and as long as they do some neat tricks, I’m pretty […]
The Maker Faire made its way to NYC this weekend and Geek.com was in attendance. Below you can see a full gallery of the show and all the awesomeness that was in store for attendees, from the NY Hall of Science’s giant rockets, to upcoming Arduino models, to a flame-breather dragon made of scrap metal, […]
Intel dumped $300 million into the laptop industry to buy it something it’s never had before: attention. Ultrabooks sound cool, and could look beautiful while running like little thin crust pizzas of awesome. Instead, we’re seeing pathetic MacBook Air clones. More »

The bike industry will converge on Las Vegas next week for the annual Interbike trade show, where brands from around the world will roll out their 2012 product
lines for stores and distributors in the U.S. We got a preview of several product highlights this summer at an industry retreat in Utah and tried them out on roads and
trails above Park City. Here are a few of our favorites.

The power-meter category is exploding this year. These devices measure a rider’s direct power output in real time, measured in watts. For training purposes and for gauging effort in races, power is vastly superior to heart rate as a measure of effort, as it’s not affected by temperature, diet, stress, and other factors that can tweak your pulse.
PowerTap, one of the dominant players in this category, has completely revamped
its system for 2012. The heart of the setup is still the sensor integrated into the rear
hub. But that new hub, called the G3, is about 20 percent lighter than the current
top-end PowerTap hub and also much easier to service. All of the key electronics are
housed in a cap that unscrews from the hub body.
The G3 hubs will start at $1,199 and will also be offered in complete high-end wheel
sets starting at $2,999. Entry-level PowerTap hubs and wheel sets will be $799 and
$999, respectively.

While the first Android-powered Amazon tablets have been talked about extensively this year, no one had actually laid hands on one. No one, apparently, until TechCrunch’s M.G. Siegler did recently. And while he didn’t have a huge number of details to share, his post does confirm some things about Amazon’s first tablet. First off, the […]
It all seems a bit for naught, with the earth in obvious upheaval, spawning one natural disaster after another and careening toward a horrible, fiery, and certain end next year. But until that happens, there are some pretty cool gadgets to play with! Here’s the best of bunch from August. More »
Being an obsessive compulsive sketching bastard, I’m all shades of erect looking at the new Wacom Inkling. With an exquisite design and 1024 levels of pressure, it looks like the perfect device for anyone who sketches anything, from illustrators to architects. More »
