DuaLink Sync Splitter Cable For Your Mac Products From CableJive

March 4, 2010 · Posted in Gadget · Comment 

Image and video hosting by TinyPicThe DuaLink Sync Splitter Cable from CableJive just made charging and syncing multiple Mac products that much easier. Simple enough, the DuaLink Sync Splitter Cable is an essential cord that will also work great with any USB charger.

I’m not sure if you can actually dual sync with this cord and it’s apparently not compatible with iPod Shuffle models. The cord is onsale for $26. Seems like a great idea.

Sanyo Refreshes Eneloop Bicycle, Now Captures More Energy

Too bad I’ll probably never ride Sanyo’s Eneloop Bike, but that can probably be said for the majority. In any event, the company felt it necessary to update the recently announced bicycle. Now, instead of just capturing power during acceleration and downhill glides, the Eneloop bike will ’sip’, as in slightly nurse, energy while riders bike on the flats to charge its on board battery system.

Ultimately, this should mean more power for those moments when you need some added momemntum from the electric drivetrain, which is when and only when the on board motor system will kick in (think hill).

Passport Studio

Western Digital’s My Passport Studio line has been spinning for years now, but today the outfit is pushing out a revamped version with a little something special. Boasting a FireWire 800 interface, a highly pocketable design and 256-bit hardware-based encryption, this here drive offers an “e-label smart display” on the front that actually remains on even when the drive is off and unplugged. Owners can tweak the text on the display as often as they like via WD’s SmartWare software, and by utilizing e-paper technology, you’ll always be able to see what’s inside at a glance. Just so you’re aware, the company’s shipping this thing in 320GB, 500GB and 640GB flavors, but all three come pre-formatted for Mac use — thankfully your Windows 7 rig won’t have any issues wiping that slate clean and starting over once you hand over your $149.99 to $199.99.

Ibuypower battalion touch laptop

Sure, you might expect your laptop to overheat or explode at any moment — but cut you with a seemingly harmless logo? That’s the strange but true case of iBuyPower’s Battalion Touch CZ-10, at least, which left one Laptop Magazine reviewer with a nasty gash (that may or may not have required Band-Aid attention) after he decided to inspect a sliver of the “W” that appeared to be peeling off. For its part, iBuyPower says that it has since stopped using the aluminum logo in favor of a plate-style label with rounded edges, and that less than 1% of shipped systems used the troublesome logo. Anyone stuck with one of those is advised to contact iBuyPower for a replacement before it’s too late.
