With the whole world going green, we're seeing less Hummers and more hybrids than ever before--but did you know that there's zero-emissions way to get around using nothing but the power of your legs? Be the envy of your hipster friends with the stylish "Moof" bicycle from industrial design aggregators Areaware, which we recently caught on video. The top tube of this European-style ride has ...

It seems that every mainstream tech innovation is followed closely behind by an answer from the porn industry. Like Roku's Netflix box, FyreTV's set-top player delivers a library of over 20,000 DVD-quality porn flicks from you to choose from - and it's wireless, so you don't need to run an ethernet cable into the bedroom. Check out the video for some work-safe screenshots and info about how the ...

During our trip to the desert, we took some time off from the convention floor to head over to the NextGen Home Experience. This super-green, 5,200 square-foot "smart" home boasts some smooth accoutrements, including a powerful home-automation system and a Microsoft Vista-based, centralized entertainment center and media server.
But there's nothing really new about a media server for your ...

Have you ever wondered what a porn movie would look like in 3D? Well, we can't show you one of those racy films, but we can show you adult film star Belladonna's reaction when she watched one at the Adult Entertainment Expo. The technology involved is the Glacier IceBerg Entertainment System and it will work with any 3D-ready TV. According to Belladonna, there's no way to grasp the amazing ...

CES wasn't the only convention packed with gadgets this January: The AVN Adult Entertainment Expo, which takes place alongside CES every year, was filled with the latest lovemaking technology from wireless iPod pleasure enhancers to adult videos in HD and 3-D. We teamed up with adult entertainment icon (and AVN Awards official presenter) BellaDonna to check out the new sex toys for 2009. First ...

OhMiBod, the folks behind the world's first iPod-enabled vibrator, rolled out another first at this year's Adult Entertainment Expo: A wireless iPod-enabled vibrator. The system uses a discreet transmitter to sync a vibrator (available in a full palette of Nano-matching colors) to a user's favorite playlist. No wires means one can slide one's iPod into a docking system while sliding into bed. And ...

As TV manufactures galore loaded into the Las Vegas Convention Center for CES 2009, something began stirring deep in the bowels of the Earth. Whether it was black-magic or the alignment of the planets, we're not sure, but scores of undead walking television sets descended upon the Las Vegas pavement to extract revenge on their manufacturers.
Or at least that's how the 'story' goes.
In ...

Other than the Palm Pre, the biggest darling of CES has clearly been the Sony VAIO P Series Lifestyle PC. There has been plenty of coverage of the clutch-purse-like device, but we wanted to boil it down to just what you really need to know.
We spent some time with the tiny "don't call it a netbook" from Sony and came away quite impressed with it on the whole. We couldn't truly test any ...

One of the most talked about products from this year's Consumer Electronics Show was LG's Dick Tracy-esque watch phone prototype. The device can link to your headset via Bluetooth, or you can fulfill all your crime noir fantasies and talk directly to your wrist. Necessary? Probably not, but the touch screen device's sleek interface has to be seen to be believed: Check out our hands on video with ...

Freeplay, creators of a large line of self-sufficient hand-cranked radios and flashlights, is entering the rechargables market with its Zipcharge rechargeable power stick, available in March. Co-opting tech developed for hybrid cars, the device pairs intelligent circuitry with a nano-phosphate lithium cell to achieve a swift charge time of only ten minutes, with enough juice to bring to life your ...

We saw a lot of cool technology at CES: Towering display booths studded with hundreds of screens that make the latest televisions and entertainment products into objects of techno-lust. Amidst all the flash, however, it was nice to see something practical, which we found with FlatWire's new home theater solution: Flat HDMI and power cabling that you can paint over.
Expanding upon its existing ...

Motorola is jumping on the green bandwagon in a big way with its recently announced "Renew" phone, billed as the world's first carbon-neutral phone. The company teamed up with CarbonFund.org to help offset the energy cost for the new device, whose shell is made entirely of recycled water bottles. Included in the packaging for the phone is a recycling envelope so you can send it back to Motorola at ...

Coby calls this iPhone and iPod touch dock the "Vitruvian," for Leonardo da Vinci's famous drawing of the perfect human form. As a design piece we expected the price to be a little high but we were pleasantly surprised to learn it will carry a $79 tag when it hits store shelves sometime this summer. The dock rotates to take advantage of the iPhone and Touch's position sensor – so if you're ...

Is gesture-based remote control the next biggest thing since the touchscreen? Last week, we saw Sony Ericsson's new W508 Walkman phone, which lets you ignore a call and shut off the ringer with the wave of your hand. And as we wrote back in October, TV manufacturers certainly seem to be taking their inspiration from the motion-sensitive Wii remote with gesture based control technology for changing ...

As you already know from our coverage yesterday, we attended the CES Digital Experience the other night and got a sneak peek at some of this year's niftiest gadgets. Some folks were nice enough to demonstrate their companies' products for our film crew.
Head on after the break to check out video of some of our favorites, including video of Hillcrest Lab's innovative Loop TV remote, Texas ...
