iLP: Cut out the middle man in vinyl to digital conversion
Yes I know – another article about iOS accessories. But the iOS world is drawing a lot of the brightest minds in the gadget game. And the makers of a lot of crap too. I would love to do a list of all the stuff that doesn’t make it onto…

Sphero: Roll with IT
Among Michael Bay’s many crimes, first and foremost in my mind is “making robots boring”. Even when I learned as a child that robots existed and mostly put together cars, there was still a fascination with them until Bay managed to make “giant robots fighting” into an epic three-part snoozefest….
