“The Kinect for Xbox 360 ($TBA) is Microsoft’s killer motion tracking add-on, featuring a camera, audio sensors, motion-sensing tech to track 48 points of movement on your body, and the ability to recognize faces and voices. All of which works together to give you a unique, motion-driven gaming experience without the need for silly things like controllers.” (via uncrate)
“The Leica V-Lux 20 ($700) is the latest in this line of svelte shooters, packing a 25-300mm equivalent, 12x optical zoom Leica lens, a 12.1 megapixel sensor, built-in GPS for geotagging, a three-inch LCD display, and a rock-solid build.”

“Mac Funamizu’s USB Memory Stick #6 concept, which would be made out of glass and provide a rather novel form of feedback. The idea is that lights of different colors–pink for images, blue for documents, green for movie files, for example–would accumulate as you added files, letting you ‘see’ how much data, and what sort, you had on the thing.”
“The Portable Crosley CR6002A Record Player($150) is completely battery-powered Crosley turntable, with a platter smaller than a teacup saucer, and a rubberized finish “for on-the-go use”. Users can tote this two-speed turntable with them to vinyl swaps or to a friend’s house. Featuring a USB hookup for easy analog-to-digital transfer, the Crosley Revolution? will allow users to free their favorites from the grooves for more convenient listening. This small but mighty turntable also features dual headphone jacks, dynamic full range stereo speakers and a carrying case.”
Cool concept by Gonglue Jiang.
“One of the limitations on notebooks is the lack of USB ports in proportion to the number of devices we would like to hook up. An easy remedy these days is the USB Hub, but YD won’t be YD if we showcased run-of-the-mill solutions! So here’s the Infinite USB – an alternative plug on devices that kinda acts like a tag team. The design speaks for itself, so no point elaborating, however what we can do is talk about its effectiveness and limitations. For starters I don’t think we may be able to tag too many devices one behind the other. I reckon max 3 or 4 before the tag starts to look awkward, but the color coding on plugs will make it easy to identify which plug belongs to which device.”
