The new Taser C2 is a personal protector that’s taking aim at the female market. No permit is required, and for personal safety, it’s a great idea. It's supposedly more effective and less target-sensitive than pepper spray or even...

I'll be honest — I'm not sure I can explain the function or the purpose of the Jakks Pacific EyeClops BioniCam. When you point the spherical front part of the BioniCam close to something like your skin or a...

If JVC has its way, you'll be able to permanently lose your TV remote control and just use hand gestures to change channels, adjust volume, drill through menus and turn it off. The company demonstrated a Snap & Gesture...

We got our first look at Sony's Rolly dancing MP3 player a few weeks ago at New York's BlipFestival, where it was paying a visit from Japan. As you may remember, Rolly is a small (slightly larger than an...

When I used to work at a magazine, we used a page-layout program called Adobe InDesign. The program is very "palette-heavy" — it has several tiny little windows for its various tools, which inevitably lead to much clutter on...
